Thomas Hampson with amazing voice. The barbiere di siviglia (Rossinni). This song it is one of my favourite. Enjoy it. So, you can learn the Italian language. Don't forget to put your comments. Also you can rate the video.

I think he's the only singer who can keep up with the tempo he conductor sets. Most other singers run into trouble with the coloratura passages, the fast speech and pronunciation of the words, run out of breath and then are behind the orchestra. He doesn't. He's perfectly on point and even sings admirably well. He's absolutely marvellous!!!
@roymovrich18199 жыл бұрын
I happen to absolutely agree with you! Anyone who thinks Rossini's "patter songs" are easy to sing, then start carping on how singers should have better diction etc etc, should try singing one themselves, and get tangled in a torrent of words and fast tempi. I know, because I tried and I couldn't manage any of it!
@FIxt00l8 жыл бұрын
+Tatiana Lennox I thought he was singing too fast and I do not like his timing...he almost has to rap, lol...So, is the aria meant to be that fast, maybe to highlight the singers` qualities or weaknesses ?

I've watched and listened carefully most of the interpretations of Largo al factotum n youtube (more than 15) and without a doubt this is my favourite,not only because of his great voice but most importantly for his interpretation, he really looks cooky and sure of his role, exactly how Figaro is meant to be.

It could just be I have a different interpretation than he does, so not a big deal there. All in all one of the best performances you could possibly see of this aria, and this is supposedly not his best.

Outstanding performance by Thomas Hampson - and even more so considering that he was singing this aria with another famous Figaro, namely, Hermann Prey (who had sung the role at the Met back in 1973), sitting right there on stage. And Hampson sings it with bravura, joy, and elan - a different type of bravura, joy, and elan from that of Robert Merrill, to be sure, but just as enjoyable in its own way.

Muslim Magomaev, Azerbaijani-Soviet citizen was very good in this and not only as Figaro. Unfortunately not well known in US as many great artists from behind the Red Curtain did not visit America. He died due to heart attack. He actually followed steps of Mario Lanza by switching to lighter repertoire. It was a big mistake he made.
