Juan Diego Florez - La Fille du Regiment - Ah mes amis

Juan Diego Florez sings the famous tenor aria from Donizetti's La Fille du Regiment performed recently in Vienna (2007).

[@adamd.3571]

Those 9 top C's towards the end are SO precise. He sounds like a violin.

[@holkn]

I also recommend tenor Yang Yang's version

[@jiyoungyue8838]

Moose DC absolutely

[@beniaminoson6318]

Sono d'accordo

[@kenoliver8913]

@@wx811 Nonsense. Though what you say is in fact true of most of the great arias written for huge spinto voices (think "Nessun Dorma" or "che gelida manina"). But the part being played here is that of a very young and naive guy and so this is THE classic leggero piece. For this the voice should sound light, flexible and pure (ie short of upper partial harmonics); the voice Florez has. It's horses for courses - someone like Domingo would really struggle with this one.

[@TravisTHall]

Those high C's are nothing short of spectacular!

[@courtreinland6285]

He has the perfect voice for this song.

[@espositobogotanobogotano5835]

Ese talentoso interprete es nuestro, es mío es, latino !! Gracias a los parceros del Perú por darnos a ese joven que nos hace llorar de alegría !! Viva Perú y por supuesto Colombia !!!

[@luisahumada6081]

Que haya nacido en Perú es una anécdota...

[@soleillantmarie-laure4184]

J'ai assisté à cet opéra, et à l'issue de ce morceau, le public s'est levé pour applaudir et a crié si fort et si longtemps que Florez a du le reprendre une seconde fois. C'était tout simplement magique! A l'écouter aujourd'hui je ressens les mêmes frissons. Cette voix... me laisse sans voix!

[@claires9100]

Quelle chance que vous avez eue d'y assister.!!❤

[@SquallEstel]

Whoever taught him french did a perfect job. Crystal clear pronunciation

[@zaven1030]

He is this perfect singer - from head to toe. The Highest class professional! Very smart and decent guy.

[@alfredotrovato9725]

Le voir sur scène avec Nathalie Dessay fut un moment inoubliable , quel talent , grazias Diego

[@Optimus144]

Bravo! Bravissimo! Florez has a great voice. His high C´s sounds terriffic.

[@cucuchi10]

o The Observer, Sunday 23 May 2010 .... “As her shy, knobbly-kneed boyfriend Tonio, Juan Diego Flórez returned to wow us with those famous top Cs and pure, unsullied vocal gymnastics. Only Pavarotti, in living memory, could make it all sound so similarly effortless...”

[@johnderham2829]

He is just great 😊

[@andreamariterickson5885]

I remember watching 'Pavarotti: my life in 7 arias' where Juan Diego Flores consulted Pavarotti- Maestro- for advice before Juan Diego took the role. After he gave Juan Diego advice, Pavarotti said that Juan Diego would do just fine. And it sounds like the advice was perfect.

[@joeyboy1951]

He didn't start singing opera until he was 17. He will be one of the all time greats

[@realcrimson]

He is wonderful! Besides the great interpretation, I believe that his looks make him a perfect suit for this role.

[@scottweaverphotovideo]

His voice is naturally so high it's easier for him to pull this off than most others.

[@yourpotentialbff]

i could watch this a million times and never get tired of it.

[@BrotherCron]

Mr.Florez owns this really he does, so easy and still with emotion and the acting that is required to make it an epic performance. Master

[@palmolella]

Ogni volta che ascolto Florez sono rapito dal suo magnifico timbro, l'intonazione è sempre perfetta anche in questi do di petto. Grande Florez.

[@chasriner]

What a voice!

[@esquibelle]

I saw a recital tonite in Santa Monica andh is singing was astounding. The piano player so-so. But JDF was mindboggling. His voice is soft, but the delicacy and nuances are utterly beautiful. A real artist. True elegance.

[@colettewarren7928]

Magnifique! Quel ténor extraordinaire, comparable à Pavarotti. Musique splendide. Merci.

[@bodiloto]

1 Pavarotti=35 Florez.

[@blaht15]

Hm, you will recognise Pavarotti's voice always...

[@backintimemachines-wonderf7262]

Um.... Nnoooo... Pavarotti he is not. No comparison in this rep.

[@robert13007]

D'autant plus splendide qu'il ne chante que ce qui convient à sa voix, ce que l'on ne peut pas dire de Luciano, ténor admirable mais qui s'est égaré dans des roles trop lourds pour lui (Il Trovatore, Otello par exemple.)

[@robert13007]

A magnificent tenor, probably the best thing I've heard since Alfredo Kraus in this register.. I almost cried when I first heard him which hand' occurred since my listening to Franco Corelli.

[@verasantarelli4088]

Grandioso Juan Diego Florez!

[@musicluvermj]

He is simply marvelous!!! Wow!!!!

[@carochioNiNo111]

Juan Diego Florez is a Peruvian tenor one of the greatest tenors of the world for those who do not know who it is. Peru to the world

[@palmolella]

Straordinario il grande Florez ... è così bravo che mi fa tourner la tete! Bravissimo!

[@iceonneva]

Along with his vocal skills, the sincere and dynamic acting performance make Juan Diego so unique and far from other tenors of this age.

[@user-xz9zq3qy7y]

He is a Really good actor, I think. I don't know french, but I can see what he is saying.

[@jd7x7jd]

hey video makers - never cut the applause! it's an essential part of the whole experience. :)

[@madamedellaporte4214]

youtubers probably never go to live concerts.

[@batatac4mil86]

It's highly dispensable, I hate hearing clappings, And if someone wants to download the song through KZbin you have the claps in there and it's annoying

[@graysonstetson7784]

Sorry to be off topic but does someone know of a way to get back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot my login password. I love any tricks you can give me

[@colettewarren7928]

Juan Diego est le roi du contre ut! Sans effort, il se lance...une vrai Merveille je l'avais vu à Paris , nous étions en extase.'''

[@gemcnulty]

I saw this production a few years ago in SF.. Went 3 times and he did an encore each time after this aria. Amazing..

[@peggyh4805]

McNulty I saw the opera at the metropolitan opera house in nyc. Yes, he did an encore and was amazing. Unforgettable.

[@JJ2009yum]

terrific voice and amazing performance

[@cucuchi10]

Madcap Soprano, Brave Tenor Enliven Donizetti Opera in London, Bloomberg News, 12 January 2007 The brave tenor given the Olympic task of hurling out the famous top Cs is Juan Diego Florez, and when he does you know that you're in the presence of one of the greatest tenori di grazia (``graceful tenors'') of our time. He hits each of Tonio's treacherous notes with an unerring ping, and with no hint of strain. He doesn't slide up to them but attacks them staccato, just as the score demands.

[@benjaminlopezisgreat]

HE is so frekin cute. sweet. on top of good.

[@acrilexs.a.8217]

Maravilloso!!!

[@lolliereal4homes]

Enjoyed his great singing...love it!

[@lawrencege6942]

This is a golden age of leggero tenors

[@krimhildeamann5583]

Lawrence Ge and we can live now and watch to these excellent voices

[@crazy_Fred]

Stone leggero is correct

[@termite295]

i'm into heavy metal and stuff but i do performing arts at school and our teacher showed us this at school and even i have to say this is impressive

[@dolores4948]

Maravilloso .Juan Diego estas un GRANDE !

[@bravaLiz]

saw him perform this at the NY MET. He had a 102 fever and went on anyway. Merci Monsier JDF!!! et grazie aussi to Gabba02 for posting!

[@PlatonicEnigma]

his best performance on youtube by far. hits the high C's as well as every other note dead on. and with relative ease, that's the true sign of a well trained singer.

[@luisahumada6081]

Best than Pavarotti's?

[@neostiv]

Gracias Perú !!

[@marcysoprano]

WONDERUL. Catch him live if you get a chance, it's seriously like a religious experience!

[@esquibelle]

Heard him sing in Santa Monica in solo concert last week. He is sheer elegance.

[@EliathJazealZar]

what an amazing voice!what a gift he has.

[@IlyiaKaushansky]

Saw this performance last night in San Francisco. Unbelievable !

[@toreadorable]

Saw him last night (Friday, the 19th) at the Met. Although he's still suffering from the cold. he was superb. "saagua1953" makes a good point. If you're seeing the opera staged, Florez has it hands down over most (overweight, over-aged) tenors. The singing soars and he looks and acts like someone who could believably cause Marie (and most everyone else) to swoon.

[@NoodlesSF]

I was at the performance of 'La Fille' last night w/ Florez and Damrau at the SF Opera and was amazed and loved the entire production. I got chills when he hit the high-Cs and the thunderous applause and shouts of BRAVO these 2 talented singers got were very well deserved.

[@addieraines4452]

This has become his signature piece. Standing ovation everytime with encores. And rightly deserved.

[@germanalbertoarmentavaldez9737]

What and incredible interpretation of Juan Diego Flores magnificent voice and great interpretation on stage how not to love this performance. =D

[@c605]

GREAT JUAN!! the best of a new generation of tenors!

[@classyteacherdiva]

Absolutely mesmerizing!

[@YellowFlowerofTexas]

He is incredible! Please more videos

[@muscleboi4use]

This production has returned to London with Natalie Dessay and Juan Diego Florez and I can confirm BOTH were WONDERFUL, TERRIFIC, MAGNIFICENT. Both suit their respective roles perfectly for this comic opera. Nothing beats seeing them sing this live.... LOVED it and them!

[@Gav640]

I saw him perform this at the Met on Sunday. It was a truly awe-inspiring performance! Everyone was so upset that he did not do an encore! lol

[@diegogbr1]

beautiful voice and interpretation. fantastic.

[@martinegenevet2028]

Le savez vous? Quand JUAN DIEGO FLOREZ est venu chanter le rôle de TONIO, la cavatine ah mes amis contient 9 contre ut ! Et bien à L'opéra de PARIS il a rechante l air une deuxième fois! Ce qui lui a fait 18 contre ut en quelques minutes! Du jamais vu ! Il a été applaudi comme UN DIEU pendant très longtemps ! Il est UNIQUE !

[@KayHarpaGone]

Oui, je le savais ! Il est incroyable ! Je crois que ça ne s'est jamais fait !

[@kimmartin4897]

I never tire of hearing him sing this his voice is exquisite

otra maravilla del mundo...desde PERU!!!!

[@cuckthefardinals]

I just saw this production last week at the Royal Opera House!!!! It was INCREDIBLE. The C's were perfect. Dessay was great, too! I was so incredibly lucky enough to be let in the stage door, and got Florez and Dessay's autograph! It was incredible.

[@KaSuYa1388]

que lindo talento..es genial escuchar esta clase de musica Juan Diego... saludos desde Arequipa

[@cucuchi10]

Juan Diego Flórez in Madrid: Teatro Real de Madrid.2.6.2009 (JMI) There is no doubt that Juan Diego Flórez is one of the very greatest singers nowadays: in his own repertoire, he is literally incomparable with any other singer. What I have discovered in the last two years however is that the Peruvian divo has become a singer who shines in a very special way in concerts and in recital.

[@Jonnybrams]

I love JDF! His singing is charming and his voice like honey.

[@claires9100]

And he is so cute!

[@dennislee21]

Simplemente, magnifico Juan Diego Florez. Orgullo de latinoamérica y el mundo entero.

[@esquibelle]

in a word wow One of the most brilliant tenors of all time/ wow juan diego florez one of the great ones wow

[@volcanico123]

El peruano Florez, tiene una tecnica impecable y refinada. Un tenor ligero maravilloso con un magnifico desempeño escenico.

[@mixetinaj8128]

Bravo !!!! Que comodidad, cantar esta tesitura con esa livianeza resulta un masaje para el oído mas desdichado. Merci !!

지구상 가장 가볍고탄력있는 저목소리 얼마나 열심히 연습했을까...힘차고 고음에서도 탄탄하다 나의우상!

[@kimmartin4897]

I never tire of listening to him sing this most beautiful singing/voice ever!!

[@normadoimai]

The people whio would dislike his performance must to change their device for listen! Florez is amaizing, their music provider is weong!

[@ramirezcrm]

47 PERSONAS NO MERECEN OIR LA MELODIOSA VOZ DE NUESTRO GRAN JUAN DIEGO FLORES, DEBIDO SU INCIPIENTE CONOCIMIENTO DE LA MUSICA Y UN INACEPTABLE Y BIZARRO ATREVIMIENTO A CRITICAR LO QUE NO ENTIENDEN.

[@NickHuffTenor]

He looks good, he sounds good... He's just so good!

[@SoblokGames]

florez canta la hija del regimiento con una facilidad acojonante, que grande...

[@luisalfonsocorbachorodrigu9655]

Maravilloso Juan Diego!

[@enriquerivera3140]

Increible, y es latinoamericano!

[@laughingpantera]

este hombre es sublime...

[@seventhseal100]

This is phenomenal.

[@MusicalMermaid9]

I too saw the live broadcast last Sat...it was amazing, both he & Natalie Dessay!! He had like a 3 minute standing ovation after this aria! Those high c's were shimmering! Gorgeous to hear & watch! ;)

[@ilrimpianto]

One of the best tenorinos in the world with an impeccable technique.

[@lark005]

I also saw the HD live broadcast at my local theater. His high c's were shining. I'm so surprised he didn't do an encore. I wasn't familiar with this opera, but fell in love with it and the performances. Wonderful!

[@feoysabroso]

This is the piece of the opera that got Luciano Pavarotti on the genius tenor level. He impressed everyone. Later, he said JDF will be his successor, and it's kind of symbolic that he's singing to perfection the piece that sky rocketed his master.

[@JordanSean]

Amazing! He makes it sound incredibly easy!

[@Claudia.Bender]

Lo máximo, espectacular!! Grande jdf

[@emitch9213]

I love his guitar playing and song 🌹

[@janinelambillotte5471]

Magnifiquement chanté, c'est merveilleux. .merci beaucoup

[@egrosz]

A great delight!

[@racingrubberbiker]

This production was also seen in London with Florez. I have seen him at Covent Garden since 2002, and he always gets a great ovation there. He is simply the best bel canto singer for roles from Donizetti and Rossini for a very long time. He also has the great advantage over Pavarotti and such-like, in that he looks good and can actually act convincingly on stage

[@horsegent1]

Just back from seeing this at Covent Garden. What a breathtaking performance. Natalie Desay was also an absolute star with a lively display of perfect comic timing.

[@EdofEngland]

Saw this a few hours ago at Royal Opera House (Covent Garden, UK). Interesting to see the same set is used (maps with 'topography', a lovely set). Had to listen to mes amis again, have been humming it in the pub since seeing.

[@cucuchi10]

Zimmerman’s production of Vincenzo Bellini’s La Sonnambula, April 2009 “Juan Diego-Florez is splendid in the part of the tenor hero. Again, he makes a case that he is the best lyric tenor to appear since Pavarotti. Complimenting him is Dessay, who is affecting and lovely . “

[@alguso1]

É ótimo tenor. Os agudos perfeitos com encenação boa. Gostei. È um tenor jovem, com muito futuro.

[@brollysayan7653]

i love it my song favorite

[@tmberry]

so effortless. wonderful. Moving around as he sings those is just pure bravery haha

[@elvirachacon1205]

Bellísimo timbre de voz universal no hay duda

[@palmolella]

Florez che spettacolo, io l'adoro

[@CarlosRomero-td2vs]

Maestro. Cada dia mejor!!.Sublime! Gracias por compartir "mi tiempo" en el planeta. Gracias!

[@JASalam]

La vida y la existencia se muestran tan amables a la lectura de los personajes atrapados en la trama que viven una suerte de locura ciega por lo que deben cumplir a diario, me agrada esta representación. Ah, mes amis, temo en ocasiones no vivir con tanta pasión, pero escucho obras como esta y la plenitud me acaricia el alma. Gracias por compartirla, Juan Diego florez magnífico.

[@luciaserrat1054]

Sencillamente hermoso!

[@kathyrz24]

He is just AMAZING!

Best high Cs since Pavarotti MET 1972.

[@krimhildeamann5583]

[@FeistyPineapple]

There is a person currently who's voice is fantastic and has the aura of Juan Diego Florez. His name is Robert McPherson and I love his voice! Not much stuff on KZbin but check him out online, love his voice

[@hermanneckert6966]

Einfach grandios - The Best!!!
