[@rodicacelea4317]

Bravissimo !!

[@songelosodelzefiro2102]

Juan Diego Florez is great, amazing. Take into consideration that he was only 25 when singing this very difficult aria! He was really incredible. What a power, precision and sound! High D simply thrilling! Operalover9001, thank you for uploading this piece!

Un grand ténor, rossinien accompli, mais qui nous séduit aussi dans Donizetti !

[@jesusmunoz2400]

Yo estuve en esa representación cuando aún no era conocido mundialmente y ya me sorprendió.

[@aileenteo7027]

lol, i was about to comment and stopped for a sec to read the comments, i don't know and will NOT judge anyone who says "im better than a professional and famous singer", i'm aware that there is something named automotive or something alike that, the thing is that boy, keep dreaming and maybe you'll be something near as good as this Julian Florez is, i hope i someday get 1/4 as good as he is now.

Nel suo repertorio è inarrivabile.

JUAN DIEGO FLOREZ ERA dalla prima sera ª pesaro E COME qi e sempre un unico fenomeno di VOCE DIVINA bellezza appollonario CARISMA E TECHNICA unica abbinato co LA MASSIMA severe AUTOCRITICA. Jdf. Diventa il personaggio Totale senza aiuto di fuori SOLO con la musica . Qest aria e terribilmente difficili come tanti .ma non PER JDF nemeno a 25 anni solo due anni dopo suo esordio Marta darday

When was this? Where? I gather nothing from his recital in Salerno on Sept. 26th has yet been uploaded. I'd like to hear his high D in "Mes Amis, ecoutez l'histoire" by Adolphe Adam. He has never sung it as far as I know. You have to listen closely here since his D has to be heard vs. a lot of other "noise."

[@eurydike]

@saagua1953 mes amis, ecoutez l´histoire from JDF ? I hope i will hear someday:-) as well.

[@jakeyell]

ok.

[@MisterSoprano]

Oh, he can do better than that!

[@aisacelebi5592]

Big Luciano is The Best Tenor EVER.

[@sanjamarinkovic9040]

The best tenor ever IS Franco Corelli. But you must know what sort of voice are Florez, Pavarotti and Corelli!

[@guidogreco341]

Corelli è un tenore spinto..Florez un tenore di grazia .I paragoni vanno fatti con Alfredo Krauss..Ferruccio Tagliavini...Tito Schipa...

[@sanjamarinkovic9040]

Franco Corelli is the best tenor forever!But Florez is Tenore di gracia, Pavaroti lir. ten. and Corelli was dram. tenor who he can sang Boemi , Romeo and J.etc.

[@leonardozuid8733]

so a whole mozartein introduction, and than a camp boring theme. of course, thereafter it happens. the crowds want real men, no castratiti, but it is still the same. Donizetti did better thant that. This music should be catalogised and than forgotten. it adds to nothing, other than a scholarly interest.

[@roxanalita9514]

How do you dare to insult such great tenor ? You're just an ignorant, ill-mannered person who wants just to get smart. This is an outstanding performance of JDF.

[@arnoldamaral7406]

I really don't like his voice very nasal oh well The Beat Goes On

[@hetedeleambacht6608]

that s what i actually like about his voice

[@aisacelebi5592]

Big Luciano is The Best Tenor EVER.

[@ifmusicbethefoodofloveegc986]

aişa çelebi Best? well that is a matter of opinion, but he didn't sing the repertoire that Florez sings here, and was not capable of doing so, not even in his youth. As far as I'm concerned, in this repertoire, Florez has no equal, now or in the past. Closer to perfection is hard to imagine.

[@dieterflorian865]

Ifmusicbethefoodoflove Egc hallo, I agree with your opinion, JDF is unique ever
