Ese tema es tuyo Juan Diego, nunca nadie la había interpretado de esta forma tan divinamente, tan magistralmente. Qué hermosa es tu voz, que virtuosa tu interpretación...🥹🥹🥹

[@spgtenor]

What I really like about this aria is that there are many different ways to sing it and still do it justice. Different interpretations is what makes music worth listening to over and over again.

[@antoniovisioli4460]

Eccezionale tecnicamente e musicalmente. Grazie Maestro Florez

[@roxeannalisa]

sei sublime ,stupendo, un piacere per gli occhi e per le orecche!!!!!!!!!!!!!la dolcezza in persona accompagnata da una voce grandiosamente deliziosa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!un tenore che ogni soprano vorrebbe avere come patner!!!!!!!!!!compresa me!!!!!!!!!!

[@acitipo]

Decia mi abuela: "Que sabe el burro de alfajores si en su casa no hacen dulces" por favor los que no saben de tessitura, timbre, color, fiato, sttacato, trinos...etc abstenganse de hablar, y menos mal de una voz unica y rara, verdadero tenor ligero, y sin duda el mejor del mundo.

[@Greg36343]

Excelente comentario y hoy el mejor tenor del mundoooooo

[@gabrieltenor]

Perfettooooooooo!

[@raythespian]

Breathtakingly beautiful. My favorite tenor since the great Corelli, who I saw in many operas. I get the same thrill from Juan Diego's exquisite singing, not to mention his spectacular fioratura.

[@Tenorbravo]

Wow..Juan Diego has it all. It is one of the best, I have ever heard! Gorgeous voice . His voice is to die for!!! awesome performance .****It is Sad....... perfection like this is no longer available! Magnifique interprepation of una furtiva lagrima from Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore. !! unmatched!!! Beautiful voice, charming stage presence and very secure technique. Brava, ! A wonderful indeed!

[@m.elizabethsilvav.8152]

Un bálsamo y caricia para el alma es la dulzura y timbre de esta voz.....quién no se conmovería ......Divino Juan Diego...........!!!!!!

[@Architect115]

Saw him last night at the Met's premier of Le Comte Ory, he was P-H-E-N-O-M-E-N-A-L !!!!!

[@luisalfonsocorbachorodrigu9655]

Fabulosa interpretación. Bravo Flórez!

[@alberto77777]

Cada uno canta como su voz le permite, Carusso no hubiera podido cantar como Florez y viceversa, Juan Diego tiene su sello y ha marcado un hito, su versión la ha hecho un clásico, porque ese color y potencia son innatos y sera irrepetible.

[@shattered_soul]

Carusso, Gigli hubiera podido cantar como Florez

[@kimmartin4236]

his voice just goes on getting better, fabulous voice

[@lobizopn]

soy argentino y felicito al pueblo peruano por semejante talento..este muchacho se las trae..tiene una voz increible y un grandisimo futuro.

[@TheJaguarMex]

Gracias por la info. Respeto el gusto de cada kien. Lo bueno es k siga la opera viviendo sin importar el interprete eso es lo mas importante.

[@alloliveiraa]

Each tenor has its perfect version of some song. As Pavarotti had Nessun Dorma, and no one will do again that music as perfect as Lucciano, Juan Florez has in its performance of Una Furtiva Lacrima the most perfect version of this song.

[@josip9646]

Jussi Bjorling

[@musicus9]

Arent you ashamed to compare Flores with Pavarotti?? Flores has the whole voice in His nose, His.voice is thin. Listen to the old Singers, Like beniamino Gigli, Caruso. Then you will See that flores is a Nobody

[@nadync]

Excelente desde Bogota Colombia un saludo. Impecable e inmejorable urra.

[@spgtenor]

The composer may indicate appropriate tempo and certain dynamics, but it is definitely up to the artist to make the piece his own, yet remaining respectful to the composer. I agree with you about Tito, he (as well as Gigli and Gedda) sing this with passion, beauty and elegance that is unparalleled, in my opinion.

[@matunbojo]

Bella interpretazione. I tenori spagnoli hanno una pronuncia delle parole molto simile a quella italiana. Mucho gusto escuchar Diego Florez. Buenisima interpretacion.

[@figar001]

I saw him in Chicago, he is the best. In ten years he will fit in Pavarotti shoes

[@paulrussellleon-mattosport4477]

Realmente conmovedor.....! Es delicia y caricia para el oído.....

[@underrednu]

Poesia pura...

[@mig82]

esta aria no es triste, por eso es la sonrisa.

[@justabrit]

Juan sings in his own right now..he dont need reference to Pavarotti..and he is honored by the comparison..They are both very great singers

[@jesusbarbosa9780]

caray hasta que deje de escucharel vejestorio de Mex, que voz mi cuate nihablar lo máximo

[@mariella7253]

Uno de los motivos que me hace sentir orgullosa de ser peruana aplausos de pie, bravooooo Espero ir a uno de tus conciertos algun dia

[@siscu85]

Un prodigio, simplemente.

[@patriciapaape9238]

I love him.Thank you for posting♪♫•*♫♪ ¨*•♫♪

[@adrianacristianes]

Muy bueno y cada día se quedará mejor! Saludos desde BRASIL!

[@waterfordwinstons]

BRAVO man he makes me want to burst in to song love it BRAVo

[@amnerislopez6792]

Sencillamente único, perfecto, extraordinario, como Juan Diego interpreta esta aria, muy pocos...uno o dos. L'elisir d'amore es bel canto, especial para tenor ligero como Juan Di.

[@zaratustra35]

La version mas reciente de esta melodia, cantada en Parma 2007, que la encuentran en esta misma pagina, es mucho mejor y se nota la madurez que va alcanzando Juan Diego.

[@2HonestIam]

Here's a tenor that sings like its a walk in the park,and its so effortless he smiles and looks to be enjoying it,and he doesn't put on the old stereotypical opera voice which makes him more popular with non-opera aficionados.This guy is the tenor of the moment,and not up himself like the irritating Ronaldo!

[@danyolivaabrile8026]

estudiando esta area me doy con esta interpretacion magnifica... me encanta.. saludos desde Cordoba ARG

[@palmolella]

Che piacevole lezione di bel canto! Bravo Florez.

[@bodiloto]

''bel canto''? se questo e' il vero ''bel canto'' allora puoi chiamarmi tranquillo Superman. sono alto 1m50 e il mio peso e' 120 kg...

[@denisribeiro42]

Absolutely fantastic! Of all the hundreds of versions 'out there' this must surely be one of the best, with beautiful tone, shapely phrasing, intelligent use of dynamics and a genuinely heartfelt rendering, None of the exaggerations chez Caruso, for example.

[@SmethiousReborn]

No, Pavorotti sings it better in my opinion!

[@denisribeiro42]

SmethiousReborn I don't disagree with you, and if you read my earlier comment carefully, you'll see that I was referring to Florez being "one of the best". Indeed I agree with you that as far as timbre of voice is concerned, Pavarotti's was perhaps the finest of all time. But aren't we lucky to have the luxury of such a vast range of excellences! Unfortunate (and limiting) to have to live with "only the best" - which is a purely subjective matter anyway.

[@chicha1964]

Pavarotti is of course one of the best but looking at his face is painful, absolutely lack of emotions. That iron cast face made me to only listen to him and never watch him.

[@guidogreco341]

sorry a prefer Tito Schipa and Giuseppe Di Stefano

[@roxanalita9514]

Fabulous JDF !

[@betamilow]

Excelente!! una voz totalmente pulita.. rica y bellisima ---Bravo!!!

[@pipespel]

Magnifique!

[@HerreraNavarro]

Gracias Gabba 02 Feliz Año 2021 ,recién veo este buen video y le mando un saludo a Juan Diego a través de tu canal. Desde Huancayo alegre de escuchar esta gran canción de Donizetti ,y como peruano un orgullo propio que hace renacer esperanzas de una generación que podrá llevar a mas lugares la oz de un ejemplar como tu Juan Diego dale y Feliz Año 2021 seguirá con los peruanos dándoles y enseñándoles lo mejor de ti. Dios te tenga iluminado siempre a ti y tu familia

[@tonynitrox]

me gusta esta pieza, la interpretacion de juan diego florez me gusta pero la de diego florez vaya es impresionante ademas de la puesta en escena cautiva.

[@loggione1984]

Bravo Florez!

[@siyabongamkhonto1866]

My greatest tenor alive

[@DIAZLEONCESAR]

", en La Scala de Milán, deslumbrados como nunca por su talento, le pidieron bisar (repetir) un aria; pese a que no se hacía desde hace 74 años por una prohibición del mismísimo Toscanini. Es considerado por la crítica mundial como el tenor más cotizado del planeta, lo dicen ellos como más podría explicarte..

[@victoriaguzyliz5329]

I congratulate the Peruvians for having an extraordinary Tenor, and how handsome he is, I'm in love 🤗😱🤪

[@natividadfumero5498]

No se de técnica vocal ni de lírica sólo sé que cautiva desde el principio y de pena que se acabe. Qué 2021 para recordar,no sólo covi,conocí a J . D . Flores!!!!!!!!

[@alexmz123]

I like lyric light tenors. I think he performed this aria wonderfully. Resounding vocal quality!

[@sugarbist]

IMO Florez gives this aria the representation that it deserves.

[@Merryjest]

I knew you would like him. The command of his voice in the lighter repertoire (he isn't really a Puccini singer RIGHT now, he should wait a while before taking on the heavier repertoire) reminds me a lot of Kraus' technical command and brilliance. Certainly a voice to watch out for!

[@TheTuparim]

Magistral , unica

[@rofermex]

come on guys,he's only 33. Just great.

[@Maysagadelha]

Bravíssimo!!!!

[@canorolon]

Tremenda joya del Perú . Bueno, de Latino America , deleitando Europa , porque acá en Centro y Sur America , la metastasis de reguetton que se origino para mi desgracia en Puerto Rico esta atrasando las cultura Latino americana

[@alexgomez2]

Apreciable Anamoffo, nadie discute ni el profesionalismo ni la capacidad vocal o escénica de Juan Diego. Afortunadamente cada cantante cuenta con una voz única y diferente. Estamos hablando de protocolo lírico.

[@vaquero7x]

Un gran cantante operático--enhorabuena para el Sr. Florez!!

[@manuelbarragon2738]

BRAVO!!!!!!!

[@lizliliz8087]

pleasure for ears

[@moltilibri2009]

Thanks for posting.

[@juanantoniorissetto4576]

Bella canzone

[@kiranpadmanabhan1]

Real close to the 1903 Caruso recording... More so than any others.

[@verista2744]

lol

[@dalferr]

Bravo!

[@roxeannalisa]

@AleBro83 questo è un tuo parere...anche se non sono daccordo con te visto che Florez è un tenore leggero e quindi quest'opera è nelle sue corde... Io rimango del mio parere!

[@phydia72]

Ascolto Caruso e poi ascolto questo ragazzo qui...due mondi diversi mi spiace..........però ha coraggio dai....voto?5

[@zuleron]

Even though I don't like lyric tenors as much as spintos, I don't think that there is anyone who sings this song better than Florez. Other examples of tenors owning songs are Domingo with "No puede ser"; Pavarotti with "Nessun Dorma"; For me Corelli owns "E lucevan le stelle". But Florez owns this one.

[@sergioghittoni4928]

Ho ascoltato questa versione subito dopo aver ascoltato quella di Pavarotti. Pavoarotti ha una voce più potente, più carismatica, più dominante. Ma Juan Diego ha una tecnica sopraffina e in arie come queste, dove la potenza è secondaria, non è secondo a nessuno

[@gimichi]

Meraviglioso

[@schubertbach3961]

la Perfeccion

[@user-dr6kx6hf1d]

MI Esposo, Jaime se encontraba en un Nursing home. Lo visitaba todos Los dias. Su emfermedad Era Parkinson disease, y otras complications Mentalmente Era muy Claro en sus conversations. Un dia,Para MI fue un dia inolvidable. Jaime ,MI Esposo no me estaba esperado como siempre. Su semblante no se notaba normal tenia los ojos Cerrados pero no dormia , ME acerque a su oido, y le dije: ? Dime algo , que es lo que sientes, para poder llamar a la Emfermera. Me escuchas, Jaime I love you very much. Como respuesta salieron DOS LAGrimas DE SUS OJOS, RESPIRO LENTAMENTE Y FALLECIO. EL DIA ANTERIOR SE VEIA MUY BIEN COMVERSAMOS Y EN ESE DIA COMO SIEMPRE LO HACIA el cantaba ! OH SOLE MIO ! .( PSALMS 91 ", PHILEMON 25"❤,

[@user-mj8zj5mv7y]

Q hermoso

[@loganbarnes6493]

I started listening to this before I saw the video, and when I glanced at it I thought it was Steve Carell for a second.

[@alexgomez2]

Amen. You nailed it! Great comment!!!!!!!

[@LordHettrick]

@cincorn Yes. He has a magnificent light tenor voice.

[@fashionablesixties]

An absolutely gorgeous rendition of La Furtiva Lagrima sung by an equally gorgeous Juan Diego Florez, an excellent lyric tenor. Go compare him with Vittorio Grigolo and tell me if you like one better than the other or equally. Saw him on the stage of the Met several times. On a soul level, I think, Vittorio has a slight edge, being an Italian, singing in his mother tongue, without taking anything for Juan Diego.

[@candycaroli]

¡Qué bella aria! Una furtiva lagrima negli occhi suoi spuntò... quelle festose giovani invidiar sembrò... Che più cercando io vo? M'ama, lo vedo. Un solo istante i palpiti del suo bel cor sentir!.. Co' suoi sospir confondere per poco i miei sospir!... Cielo, si può morir; di più non chiedo. Eccola... Oh! qual le accresce beltà l'amor nascente! A far l'indifferente

[@tomclaudetom]

DIEGO YOU RE THE BEST THE BEST I LOVE YOU

[@DigaoHagar]

Stop at 3:04 he shows his tongue kind a funny way hahahaha!!!!! Good rendition for this aria !!!!

[@lightbulbfish]

I like that! It is sooo cool.

[@rickgora2952]

Very Jussi Bjoring like, greatest complement any tenor could get, JUSSI is the greatest!

[@angieulloa2923]

De las arias mas hermosas

[@ALONSO4830]

Por esta y muchas razones mas..VIVA EL PERU CARAJO

[@Alexmeister25]

Dá para se notar que Placido Domingo foi ou ainda é professor de Juan diego florez pela expressão da boca, rosto e gesto tipico das mãos.

[@azal10]

Alex Meister El maestro de florez fue Luigi Alva.

[@David45NV1]

@GosfordAbercrombie very true!!

[@yennmarinamartinez4170]

Bella y triste Interpretación.

[@pupulique]

This can be good for people who never heard opera voices.

[@David45NV1]

@puxex prestando la atencion debida a la letra, al guion y a la musica, esta romanza esta marcada por una estructura melancoliica compuesta en la tonalidad de Si bemol menor concluyendo en sus dos partes en las tonalidades de Fa mayor y de Si bemol mayor que es solamente ahi donde se representa el jubilo.

[@nawa3imPARIS]

lovely

[@fashionablesixties]

I am not judging, I like them both, they are different, that is just my personal opinion. I've seen both performing on the life stage. I am asking people if they like each better, equally or not at all. Have you seen both live? You can have a personal opinion without being negative. KZbin is a public forum.

[@dana1981rf]

Estoy contigo, esa es la mentalidad, sigue así. Ya no soy el unico que piensa asi, JAJAJAJA. Ciao.

[@fashionablesixties]

Pardon me for being such a non expert about tenors' voices. Whether he is the lyric or light (leggere) tenor, Juan Diego had sung both roles in concerts beautifully. He is not a spinto, robusto or a heldentenor but I just like his singing without going into the technical details. But I will note your comment not that it would change my mind about Juan Diego Florez and his beautiful voice. All tenors crossed over to other tenor voices if they can do it,same with sopranos and mezzo sopranos.

[@chqzn]

Sin exagerar, es bueno

[@Branstock]

He's not a lyric tenor, but a light tenor.

[@lkcgmo]

Just discovered him from fille des régiments!

[@roldarin]

@analca61 A mi me parece que Florez es el mejor tenor del momento, y uno de los mejores liricos ligeros que ha habido. A Villazon me resulta molesto oirlo.

[@iojorge1]

roldarin pienso lo mismo xd

[@mauriciomille]

@pilar2811 sabrás cuanto está pidiendo o cobrando ($) por presentacioon JDF?... gracias

[@mauriciomille]

@pilar2811 quien es el director pilar? gracias

[@lauritahh]

I'm fine, I'm fine,... just I'm in love with Juan Diego, :)

[@BulentBezduzOfficial]

He is good but the Turkish Tenor Bulent Bezduz trully amazing in that aria. . Also he sings Donizetti's unknown operas Belisario. Incredible performance...

[@Merryjest]

Look up Bülent Bezdüz singing Una Furtiva Lagrima here on youtube. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

[@roxeannalisa]

@bodiloto ti informo che ascolto anche i grandi tenori.magari sarò pure ignorante ma non sono l'unica persona a cui florez piace... comunque è inutile continuare questa discussione.ciao

[@acitipo]

@DIAZLEONCESAR Pues claro amigo no conoces el libreto? canta porque la doncella le corresponde? y esta inmensamente feliz!

[@nisamzec]

killer!!! :)

[@DIAZLEONCESAR]

Claro que si BOLDENONA, no tiene nada de especial, salvo que Pavarotti lo consideró como su sucesor, pese a tener repertorios diferentes, Plácido Domingo lo considera el más grande tenor ligero de todos los tiempos, dijo "No me acuerdo de otro que haya cantado así ese repertorio tan difícil que él interpreta"...

[@EvanAbelingTenor]

The first Nemorio aria "Quanto e bella" sits much more comfortably in his voice I think. Una furtiva I don't think is a good fit for Florez. Never has been! A lot of the time his pitch isn't dead on and the sound is to thin for such a powerful emotional aria. That's just my opinion though. What a tenor! His Ah mes amis is absolutely fabulous. Evan

[@azal10]

evan abeling This area is the best for Florez, Just Luigi Alva could be more perfect.
