Michael Spyres: Una furtiva lagrima (Donizetti: L'elisir d'amore)

Opera Royal de Versailles, December 2022.

[@gennarojg3]

Caruso, Gigli, Pavarotti, all in one. Magnificent!!

[@someone.06]

There are no similarity between this guy and Pavarotti. I don't usually like so easily. And also you can find me on the youtube comments easily, crushing people due to their stupid comments like yours. However I have to admit that he has a velvet voice that I like a lot but this is not even close to Pavarotti's any performance. He has long way to go.

[@rafaellmata6083]

Some imperfections....and no feeling

[@spider3web221]

@@someone.06 ...and your comment was no less stupid. Pav had a long way to go to come close to Fielding Melish.

[@bradycall1889]

Not Caruso's level nor Gigli's nor Pavarotti's. Spyres is good, don't get me wrong, but I don't think he's on Pavarotti's level lol.

[@linlasj]

@@rafaellmata6083 No feeling... for real... and curious what imperfections you found.

[@kathleenhensley5951]

I've been listening to videos of Michael Spyres for several days. I truly love his voice.. very nice.

[@SteveL2012]

Finally a tenor to carry the legacy. Just gorgeous.

[@miketeacher9016]

I fully agree. He worked on his change of voice for years!

[@gennarojg3]

Absolutely can take over the World of Opera and sweep it back up to the days of Caruso, Pavarotti & Domingo!! It's amazing it took 30 years after Caruso's death to get Lanza, who died so quickly he never was able to perform on stage. About 10 years +/- later we got Pavarotti & Domingo. Since Pavarotti there hasn't been anyone I've truly loved until Spyres came along. He magnificent and will breathe new life into Opera & Solo Performances as Pavarotti did. He's incredibly talented and has a GORGEOUS Voice!! When they start to refer to one by last name only and others immediately know who one is speaking about, you know for sure you're going to the TOP!!

[@someone.06]

Beautiful voice but still he has long way to go. Average performance.

[@jb-vb8un]

yeah .... a "long way to go" happens all da time at the VERAILLES OPERA HOUSE < > when he can belt out the singing frog via ONE FROGGY EVENING, THEEENNN ,he be jammin, maaaan

What an exceptional singer Michael Spyres is!- And what an wonderful performance of Donizettis opera this is!

[@pretitarb]

Époustouflant, d'une perfection touchante. Sublime ! Quel plaisir que de découvrir ce genre d'artiste. Merci monsieur Spyres

[@honoratyapo7503]

This guy ...you will be surprised...doesn't define himself as a Tenor but a baritone... Yes. He is just a Genius that can sing both. He is marvelous

[@idablom2069]

Correction: a baritenor. And quite rightly so. Beautiful interpretation by the orchestra as well.

[@encarnamendezseara9719]

A baritenor actually

[@user-ps3mx5sm4s]

He is just tenor who sometimes pretends he is baritone. Commercial idea.

[@bradycall1889]

I'm pretty sure he has said himself he's a low tenor. And indeed he is a tenor. But at least we can both agree he's a good singer :)

[@henri-francoisserrescousin412]

Immense artiste, la voix, la technique la sensibilité ET la musicalité ! merci !

Un arte que llega hasta las fisuras del alma no sólo por su voz sino por su talento e ironías tan bien empastadas. Su último disco "Contratenor" es pura delicia. Sólo debe de adelgazar unos kilitos para ser un divo absoluto de la ópera.

[@ErnestoRodriguez-fn1sh]

Lo principal en el canto es la voz, el sentimiento y el talento interpretativo. Con estos elementos el artista nos puede hacer soñar hasta alcanzar la cima de la verdadera belleza haciéndonos olvidar el esplendor de lo aparente. Cordialmente 👌👍🇪🇸🌿

"A single secret tear from her eye did spring: as if she envied all the youths that laughingly passed her by. What more searching need I do? What more searching need I do? She loves me! Yes, she loves me, I see it. I see it. For just an instant the beating of her beautiful heart I could feel! As if my sighs were hers, and her sighs were mine! The beating, the beating of her heart I could feel, to merge my sighs with hers... Heavens! Yes, I could die! I could ask for nothing more, nothing more. Oh, heavens! Yes, I could, I could die! I could ask for nothing more, nothing more. Yes, I could die! Yes, I could die of love."

It's not fair he gets to be a tenor and baritone!

[@philbertchow5425]

Didn’t he start as a baritone and work up?

[@kevincrum1179]

@@philbertchow5425 I believe so

[@bradycall1889]

He's more suited to tenor roles despite him having good low notes. I love Michael Spyres and all, but he's imperfect of course. He could do fine in baritone roles if he didn't sing woofy when trying to sing baritone.

[@hectorbravo6862]

Es preferible que Spyres se decida a cantar como tenor y no incursione en otra cuerda porque los resultados pueden ser no deseados. En mi opinión empezó años atrás cantando en la cuerda de tenor ligero (algunas arias difíciles de Bellini, ópera francesa, etc) , pero la voz está volviéndose un poco más pesada y ya está cantando como lírico (causa posible: repertorio inadecuado o evolución natural de la voz?). Sí tengo una duda: canta sólo en recitales o también canta ópera? Saludos.

[@monainfame]

¿Lo has visto cantando el "Largo al factotum?". Oyéndolo interpretar a Nemorino, no creerías lo bien que lo hace con Fígaro. Spyres es extraordinario!

[@danielrodriguez9630]

Entre tenor y Baritono esta el tono.Algo raro y bello...

[@Vamosacontarmentiras-zz4qu]

and he can act...

[@hectorbravo6862]

Berta, etc.: una de las cosas que aprendí cuando estudié con un profesor de canto (aclaro que no soy cantante sino sólo aficionado) es que el aparato fonador o vocálico de un tenor es distinto al del barítono o del bajo; ésto incluye: laringe, cuerdas vocales, glotis, úvula, apertura del paladar blando, conformación de los pulmones, tamaño de la parte frontal de la bóveda craneana, etc etc. Dicen que Spyres empezó como barítono y de ahí su voz evolucionó a la de tenor lírico ligero o algo así. La emisión de la voz es posible considerarla como un elástico, si se fuerza más allá de las posibilidades normales del intérprete se va a "romper". Son muchos los tenores que arruinaron definitivamente sus posibilidades cantando "a lo Caruso". Es posible que Spyres vuelva a la cuerda de barítono mucho antes de lo que debiera. Con la voz cantada no se juega. Saludos.

[@ilecier]

I like him not or not overly covering the higher notes , like many other tenors do. Sounds more natural and exciting for me. How free as a singer he feels show the little Rossini elements he weaved in and are not part of the score.....😀

[@bernardcaputo]

2:20 you can’t do that. You just DID NOT do that. What a show off of talent!

[@monainfame]

Por supuesto que puede, y lo hace, y bellísimamente.

No, on the Pavarotti comparison. Not in the same choo-choo train…

[@genealogiasserranoserrano7579]

Parecido su timbre de voz al Pavarotti

[@ira-art]

Нет. Этот лучше.

[@monainfame]

La gente que dice eso debería dejar de lavarse las orejas con puré. No se parece en NADA al timbre de Pavarotti. Quizás lejanamente a Gigli, o quizás Vanzo.

[@renzo6490]

Get thee to a studio..away from audiences and their noises. There needs to be a substantial moment of silence after the last note is played. There is a good reason. It has to do with the vibrations in the air that remain after the music stops. The music is still radiating outward, outward and it needs a space of silence to move into. The cacophonous beating of hands, the rowdy applause, beats it back and obliterates the afterglow that is absolutely necessary for the FULLEST enjoyment of the music. The music needs to be surrounded by silence. That way, it can be heard better. It's like clearing the palate between courses at dinner. At the end of a piece, the audience should hold back their enthusiasm for a few seconds. Let the music melt away.\.
