The greatest Rossini tenor of all time

[@karldavies9938]

5 or 6 high D5 natches with amazing coloratura and clarity. I think he is unmatched.

[@vincenzodeleo268]

Esecuzione memorabile di un' ardua aria che metterebbe in difficoltà la maggior parte dei tenori. Blake la esegue perfettamente ed è magistrale nel canto di "sbalzo".

This was concert fir Rossini 200th birthday on Feb 29, 1992. Only American singers, and live on tv. Absolutely fabulous concert.

[@stevexx868]

The best bel canto tenor. Period.

bravissimo maestro!!!

[@yyamaguchi8123]

This is how to sing this aria

[@davidallen3687]

I know he's retired now but no Rossini tenor beats this. Critics said he had a 'harsh' tone. I can't hear it!

[@bensitsdownwithfriends]

Nasal to the max in the late 90s but still untouchable in power for a leggiero (the vocal presence and projection of a much more colourful tenor!) and unmatched agility. A real miracle of technique and control.

Amazing, i was searching for this, thanks for uploading !

[@sharan711513]

Love this!!

[@XPRT10R]

Not the most attractive voice, in terms of timbre, but phenomenal chiaro-scuro coordination and balance and amazing resonance throughout the range. Bright sound great squillo no collapsing or woofiness 🌟

Мне кажется он не своим голосом пел, ему Вагнера петь в самый раз, слушать очень напряженно его!!!

[@paolared8245]

May I say that, though Blake is powerful, I prefer Florez 's version
