Placido Domingo sings E lucevan le stelle

1993

[@erdalonurhan8056]

Placido's signature aria...Simply beyond this world. In the heavens...

[@katherinereichelt879]

Beautiful, very moving, such tenderness and hopelessness, he already knows that Scarpia did not pardon him.

[@jacekstepniak8614]

To jeden z niewielu ktory swoim głosem zagłuszy orkiestrę....mistrzu jestes wielki

[@dylanbillion917]

The orchestras beginning measures are absolutely sublime

[@manfredfischer4290]

Was verstehen Sie darunter ? Einem solchen Orchester muss eine solche, unglaubliche Stimme folgen. Ein Meisterstück des Klanges und einer unglaublichen Stimme.

[@Igzia.B]

Absolutly, first hearing remembered me the sound of Arabic-Andalusian orchestra, totally blew my mind !

[@ohbrunson8380]

Too beautiful for words.

[@cosmlayla]

This is one of my favorite operas. I ‘ve seen several times. I saw him perform it many years ago.

[@user-ie2yj4gr3u]

❤❤❤A beautiful man, a beautiful aria and a beautiful, velvety, full voice. A unique experience, I have tears in my eyes. Thank you ❤❤❤

[@jbvivlui4823]

C'est vraiment un fabuleux artiste, il vit ce qu'il chante et nous transmet ses émotions comme personne d'autre ne sait le faire.

[@andreaolga]

It was really breathtaking!!! BRAVO!!!!!

[@amaliarodriguez432]

Que maravilla grande Plácido emocionante

[@finadasairas4797]

Bravo Plácido, tu voz me enamora,cantas todo, maravilloso

[@camotetv4265]

Wow magnífico

[@stella9372]

magnificent!

[@philclarke8316]

Great version...starts early enough to get the dramatic buildup...love the chimes tolling toward the morning execution...and then the magnifico Placido...phenomenal talent - voice and dramatic presentation....thanks so much for posting!

[@zbigniewbrzezinski8869]

One of the most successful performances of this immortal aria!

[@mrslisbeth1]

This was a fantastic koncert in Copenhagen with the late soprano Inga Nielsen. One of the best performances ever - for me anyway ❤️❤️

[@patriziafabbri3738]

Il sentimento e la bellezza del suo timbro vocale non hanno uguali al mondo!

[@eugeniovazquez7707]

Brillante

[@SpiritusMovens]

The best of the best!

[@davemcallister6650]

Fantastic orchestrations especially the tolling of the bells 👍🏻

[@irenasum5540]

Taip dainuoti, išjausti gali tik labai gilus žmogus,čia atsiskleidžia visa žmogaus esmė!👏☘️👏⚘️👏🙏

[@juaqui7565]

Que voz más bonita la de Domingo 😉👍

[@rvasquez8057]

What an unbelievable moving piece of music presented with such a stellar voice. Placido Domingo's version of this masterpiece is the zenith of operatic perfection. This is to Domingo, what Nessun Dorma is to Pavarotti.

[@MsDilly12]

Well put! Placido nails this song every single time!

[@josefinethirdface120]

the only tenor, who sings it perfect!

[@lauravolpi8]

grande DOMINGÓ

[@brunolotti3324]

Questa musica mi entusiasma troppo...!!!

[@Wolf_2293]

I'd always dismissed opera as being 'just a lot of loud noise' - until a few years ago. The aria that 'converted' me was Vesti la Giubba, the version Placido Domingo sang at the 3 Tenors concert in 1994; out of nowhere I just got so emotionally invested in the singing, I wanted more. While I don't understand the language, I felt every word in my heart - something a lot of modern music cannot do.The debate about who is/was the 'better' tenor has always puzzled me - the obvious comparison to Domingo has always been Pavarotti (bless his soul), and while arguably Pavarotti was the 'better' technical singer, on a personal level I prefer the richness and emotional resonance of Domingo. The point being that both are (was) damn fine tenors in their own right; dismissing one for the other is like dismissing a Ferrari for a Lamborghini; you may prefer the one, but debating against the other being a good car would only make you look silly...Opinion, of course - but I wish people would spend their time on the things they like instead of wasting their breath on things they don't...

[@nyartistcoalition]

I agree with you! Both are superior but with a different tone. Love them both.

[@shirleyrombough8173]

Wolf#2293 - I totally agree with you: there are tenors who are better technically but Placido always sings as if he were actually the person whose role he is singing. He is Mario here and he is Canio in I Pagliacci. He carries us along with his gorgeous voice and true acting ability. I try never to criticize any of these performers or say who is worse, just whom I like and why. They all have worked hard to achieve their place in the opera world.

[@ina5587]

Very well said.

[@justliveandletlive]

Even the orchestra were clapping! Pure class.

[@mariaantoniamartinezmarina1332]

marvilloso Plácido, una voz preciosa, me encanta

[@ernestochulia6131]

Sublime , es un placer escuchar a nuestro Gran Plácido Domingo,

[@luismanuel-tena]

Bravoooooooooo

[@vittoriacaldinelli3830]

Musica stupenda......

[@jbvivlui4823]

QUEL IMMENSE ARTISTE! le meilleur Cavaradossi ...

[@Stiffelo1]

Piękna opera, cudna aria przepięknie zaśpiewana ...

[@zerblis]

Magnificent!!!

[@adriancoltea9261]

cel mai bun interpret al acestei arii. De departe!

[@mariojimenez762]

Impresionante, que voz tan redonda, aveces pesa , aveces flota, aveces mas clara otras oscura. Estas son verdadeeas voces para el trabajo operístico.👌👌👌👌👌

[@shirleyrombough8173]

It's contributions like this - replacing an ailing tenor at the last minute flying from New York City to San Francisco- that make Peter Gelb's decision to fire Placido Domingo from the Met so short sighted and so cruel. He got Covid 19, recovered and led a small group of other musicians to perform in a fund raiser for others with the disease.

[@jbvivlui4823]

C'est incompréhensible!!! on ne sait pas qui est derrière tout ça . Des personnes mal intentionnées peuvent détruire une carrière en quelques minutes surtout à notre époque . Je pense sincèrement que Placido est victime d'affabulations et avec ces mouvements féministes plus ou moins intégristes qui fleurissent partout il est facile d'accuser un innocent . Bientôt les hommes n'oseront plus regarder les femmes.

[@jodiefields2753]

This touched me like jesus christ. My heart started racing and I cried. No idea what he's singing about but I don't need to I felt it.

[@garyroberts3859]

He’s singing about his love of life before he’s put to death.

[@anamariakoldaez1207]

E a área que mais me emociona!!!

[@margheritademarchi6593]

Bravissimo 💯💯💯💯💯💯

Balso vedimas fantastiškas!

[@user-gy3kt3ei2e]

Браво,бесподобно!!!

[@gustavmonger]

I think his unique ability to express very believable emotion through his singing is what separates him from the others in this aria. Then of course there are the ringing tones in his voice. I also really like his ending notes which he holds with grace while others yelp or half-scream.

[@shirleyrombough8173]

Kent Rhoads - I totally agree with you. Others may or may not be technologically more perfect but with Placido you get everything: ringing vocal color, excellent musicianship and the fact that he became the role he was performing. He was Cavarradossi here. And besides I love his looks. Bravissimo Domingo.

[@janicebroom1612]

Brilliant voice

[@spqr8413]

Plácido è sempre unico e eccezzionale Una voce stupenda !! Ma sur KZbin, si direbbe che la gente giudica sopratutto per rapporto alle immagini o video/composizioni ... La sua voce è sempre la stessa ! E l'artista non si mette più in dubbio !

[@uppityglivestockian]

The Great Domingo sings this better than anyone. His voice is utter perfection, and when he infuses it with the emotion of a condemned man mourning the profound loss of ever touching again his beloved, it moves me every single damn time. An artist of such magnitude... The standing ovation from the stadium and flowers clearly touched him. Millions upon millions of people love him so much. Mil gracias por compartir este documento historico con nosotros. Este concierto fue in Dinamarca?

[@maurizioroasio]

Ancora adesso un capolavoro

[@fernandopinheirobb]

E LUCEVAN LE STELLE E Lucevan Le Stelle, da ópera Tosca, de Puccini, perfumada A Terra onde se via estrelas brilhantes. O portão no jardim Se abriu. Com doces beijos e carícias lânguidas, a amada Deixou cair os véus, e se entregou aos beijos sem fim Que o tempo depois colocou nos apetrechos de viagem. Aproveitar a oportunidade de ter deleites é dádiva única Nos momentos em que é bem difícil haver a mensagem Idêntica a outra história de amor escrita em bela crônica. A ária "E Lucevan le Stelle", da ópera Tosca, de Puccini, brilha No céu, na terra e no mar, onde tudo passa a ser o melhor, Se ligando, em plenitude, aos eflúvios que é uma maravilha, Levando a luz na atmosfera psíquica do planeta que agoniza Em sua parte mais sofrida e renasce com encantos e sem dor Num belo momento que, hoje em dia e amanhã, se eterniza. (*) (*) FERNANDO PINHEIRO, presidente da Academia de Letras dos Funcionários do Banco do Brasil. - E LUCEVAN LE STELLE (poesia), de Fernando Pinheiro. - in O mundo de Morfeu, de Fernando Pinheiro.

[@FedericoLucchi]

5 dislikes? Why?? Why dislike Domingo???

[@jaimenunez9403]

WONDERFULL !!

[@miriamg3015]

Ich mag Domingo sehr, aber einige Jahre später, hat mir seine Stimme u er persönlich besser gefallen.

[@irenavisockiene3735]

The best Kavaradosi in the world!

[@KikinBcN]

Totalmente de acuerdo.

[@elenidaatonso765]

eccezionale cosi si canta

[@abialex]

Now i can see how and y he is so famous and ppl wana pay to see him...

[@PaterExcelsior]

Rubbish old recording. Probably VHS… Then out of that - through the interference and the loss - reaches the rich and refined voice of a true master, one of his signature pieces seems unhindered by the crude recording. Bravo. And thank you.

[@superlluvia100]

gracias por coincidir conmigo, como no puede ser de otra forma si hablamos de gente razonable, de quienes no les gusta esto, siento realmente mucha pena

[@Ettibridget]

The other guy should have come out for the applause as well. Anyway, magnificent!

[@HammondDER]

Начал за здравие, закончил за упокой. Как человек с такой техникой допевал спектакли до конца -- для меня загадка.

[@abialex]

Hahahaha!!! YEA!!!!

[@KANIODF]

solo hay pocos q cantan e lucevan le stelle como se debe placido es uno de ellos

[@bernatriera5437]

En esta frase "le belle forme disciogliea dai veli" "DISCIOGLIEA" Debe pasar de un fortísimo a un piano en un mismo fiato. Esto puede observarse por ejemplo en las versiones de Miguel Fleta o Franco Corelli. En las versiones de Plácido Domingo no se observa nunca aunque si es verdad que la pasión y la fuerza es perfecta pero técnicamente no está cantado como está escrito en la partitura. Saludos. P.D.: Si no las ha escuchado nunca de verdad le recomiendo escuchar las versiones de Miguel Fleta y Franco Corelli. Estoy seguro que serán de su agrado.

[@millonety123]

Orchestra is rushing. But still Domingo its perfect

[@user-vn1yx8vi7r]

Нет. С Корелли и Кареррасом ему не сравниться. (В этой арии)

[@ucheniy3978]

А кто, вообще, может сравниться с Корелли в этой арии,??? Кареррас тоже не может с ним сравниться.

Grande Domingo! Oigan, si no saben de verdad que no opinen.. Nadamas andan quedando mal

[@superlluvia100]

pero es terrible no apreciar esta cosa tan magnifica

[@superlluvia100]

5 ignorantes...Placido como Cavaradossi es unico, nadie lo interpreto jamas como el, ni nadie lo hara

[@cesarezappa7574]

Giuseppe di Stefano il miglior Cavaradossi, anche Domingo certamente una voce piu' in maschera ottima interpretazione assieme a Bonisolli

[@FedericoLucchi]

Il mondo è pieno di ignoranti! :(

[@Seleuce]

I like his younger sound much better, before he started to bark by darkening his voice to sound more dramatic.

[@indiosse]

This is very good but Caruso beats him as he beats everyone really. But a strong second place

[@luceafarul579]

Caruso is just really loud, nothing else
