Each tenor adds a unique stroke to this masterpiece of an aria. There is something about Domingos musicality that just does it for me. Jussi however just effortlessly glides in this aria. What a world we live in where there is this much beauty ❤

Thanks for the very complimentary comment on this video. There are of course many other great tenors on the wold stage that one could choose from; These are just a few of my favourites, especially Donald Smith. This great Australian tenor (Dr Donald Sydney Smith OBE), had a wonderful career spanning over 50 years as a professional opera singer. Although having suffered a stroke in his late 60's, he recovered sufficiently to still be singing and performing, well into his 70's, before is death at age 78. On one such occasion Donald performed outdoors at the Piazza Venue at World Expo 88. Incredibly, although still unable to walk unassisted, or speak clearly, (he sounded like he had been drinking), he was nevertheless still able to produce his magnificent sound with much of his former power, clarity and emotion.

Thanks for your comment. Donald Smith was arguably one of the greatest Australian operatic tenor voices of the 20th Century. He had an operatic career that spanned over forty years, during which time he amassed a repertoire of 50 major operatic tenor roles. He also sung and recorded hundreds of ballads and sacred songs, many of which are now featured on KZbin, Vimeo, Reverbnation and other sites. He commenced his operatic career in Australia in the 1950's with the Australian Elizabethan Theatre Trust Opera Company. In the early 1960's he travelled to England and joined the Sadler's Wells Opera Company, where he remained their major principal tenor for over 10 years. He sung his first 'Calaf' in "Turandot" with the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, and performed for Queen Elizabeth II during this time at Royal Command performances. He returned to Australia in the 1970's, and was the first voice to sing in the opening of the Sydney Opera House. Although he occasionally thereafter sung outside Australia in Canada, Mexico and New Zealand, he remained the Australian Opera Company's principal tenor until his retirement in the late 1980's. Fortunately he has left behind a huge legacy of hundreds of recordings of his glorious voice. He passed away in Brisbane at the age of 78.

IMHO disagree. Gigli understands each phrase more deeply , including the colors of the words, true stresses, and little decrescendi and portamenti that give polish and elegance. As astonishing as Björling always is, here his vocal production is not his usual glorious consistency: sometimes cover is not anticipated, some parts a bit too open , including looser breath; but nice phrasing and sense of melody. Forget all the rest.

Thanks for your comment. Absolutely nothing wrong with your untrained ear. Donald Smith OBE was arguably the greatest tenor voice, that Australia produced in the twentieth century. His operatic career spanned a period of over 50 years. He performed mostly in England and Australia, (where he had an almost pop culture following), with some performances in Canada and Mexico. Although offered many times to expand his career to include the USA, (the Met), he was happy to remain within the confines of his homeland. Donald will be particularly remembered for his work with the Verdian and Puccini operatic tenor roles, and of course his portrayal of Canio in Pagliacci. His repertoire throughout his career amassed over 50 major principal tenor roles, oratorio and hundreds of ballads. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6fFi2CtiL5_mcU
