Jules Massenet - O souverain, o juge, o père (from "Le Cid")
„Actually, what I am looking for in my concerts - it`s not that long that I am doing concerts -. what I want now ist really this human experience: that you go out of the concert with something inside. Not just like: „oh that was great singing. But even that we forget about singing, how they played, how it sounded and how was the piano. That actually this go to a second level. What you receive as an audience and what I get also as a performer is like that… wow! That was like a hug, like a kiss, that was like I shake someone's hand and I felt the warmth of that hand. It is like a really intense dialog like something deep was said thanks to music and thanks to the characters.“

[@roggidoggi]

ca c'est incroyable, pas de cette Monde. I love him

[@johnblasiak607]

He was in such great form here as good as anyone including Corelli

[@willymacia]

Really? Lol. I think is the first time I see someone comparing Villazon to Corelli.

[@tenorotti]

Tutto ingolato! Corelli? Ma stiamo sgherzando?!

[@demonstain]

😂

[@lucianopoltronieri1442]

Unico con una semplicità mai vista per una forza della natura così grande

SUPER MEGA START

[@user-cb1db2pm4r]

Ah! tout est bien fini. Mon beau rêve de gloire, mes rêves de bonheur s'envolent à jamais! Tu m'as pris mon amour, tu me prends la victoire, Seigneur, je me soumets! O souverain, ô juge, ô père, toujours voilé, présent toujours, je t'adorais au temps prospère, et te bénis aux sombres jour. Je vais où ta loi me réclame, libre de tous regrets humains. O souverain, ô juge, ô père, ta seule image est dans mon âme que je remets entre tes mains. O firmament azur, lumière, esprits d'en haut, penchés sur moi, c'est le soldat que désespère, mais le chrétien garde sa foi. Tu peux venir, tu peux paraître, aurore du jour éternel. O souverain, ô juge, ô père! Le serviteur d'un juste maître répond sans crainte à ton appel, ô souverain, ô juge, ô père!

[@corarossouw6580]

I know what he is talking about at the end of this posting. Rolando says that the singing, the music, everything becomes secondary to the 'memory' of how things were when I first heard, and learnt, that particular song. The word 'nostalgic' also comes to mind, like what happens if the 'old' feelings come back, I might be happy 'remembering' those feelings, or I might cry, because of the intensity of the memory, good or bad. I think it is the same with smells, etc. but mostly music does it for me.... Love, Cora xxx

[@Andre1Almeida]

There are millions of people telling how to do this piece, but only a few people in the world who can actually are able to sing it decently. Mr. Villazón is marvelous.

[@keesveerman2990]

Mijn favoriete opera zanger

[@giselamarch1994]

I love this aria

[@user-pd8vo5dm8z]

Excellente performance ! Great performance ! I feel a spiritual touch by viewing and listening

[@claudinevoirain5945]

j adore

[@farkasagnes1974]

Annyira expressziv !

[@erikaskolovin-erven8136]

"Ach, alles sinkt herab" singt Rolando Villazon ebenfalls sehr schön. Wenn mir auch der großartige Joseph Schmidt besonders berührt. Auch Rolando Villlazon hat den Applaus verdient. Was würde ich mich freuen, gäbe es hier noch eine Aufnahme mit Fritz Wunderlich. Aber viel Hoffnung habe ich nicht.

[@georginankansah5091]

Wow this was very good

[@borissauve3895]

M.villa zone me rend goûteux lorsqu’il chante cet air Boris sauvé

[@jamesmiller6244]

Great tenor

[@MScJorgePoveda]

En efecto, Rolando: ...Se esta poniendo bueno..Ja..Ja...

[@martinpitt1973]

sehr gut vom Orchester und von Rolando! Suuuuuuper!

[@jsdtshenchangguo]

Vous chantez si parfait! mais votre expression est un peu trop exagérée et hyperbolique... J'adore!

[@erwingk1]

Great voice how old is he ? where is he singing ? I want to hear more.

[@jenspflug7473]

He is 34 here. At 43 he already had voice problems which caused him to stop singing operas.

[@willymacia]

@@jenspflug7473 he had no technique to sing and he ruined his voice, let's say the truth!!!

[@kerstinfelicitarezicto655]

@@jenspflug7473 WHAT! Singing is what he does,! Really!!

[@oliverhertwig1544]

Erinnert an Mario del Monaco..

[@jenspflug7473]

Na, da würde ich aber noch mal ganz genau hinhören und quer vergleichen. Rolando ist weit entfernt von der Stimmgewalt eines MDM....

[@michelezavatta9409]

Lo "squillo" tipico del tenore lirico...... Smagliante, svettante, sfacciato..... Sono pochi oggi i tenori che hanno questi acuti in tasca.... Un po' di lavoro sul registro di mezzo a mio modesto avviso

[@flamencovasquez]

¡Con 2 cojones!

[@AndiSchroder]

Singen kann er, aber die Stimme ist eben nicht beste.

[@lucianocirillifioravantidi9130]

CHANGE YOUR JOB ....NO ...?????

[@raularango5973]

Este man imita a Placido Domingo. NO ME GUSTA SU VOZ. Que agudo mas descubierto.

[@louisreyesrosales7516]

Escribes cojudeces. Es un excelente interprete. Por eso fue uno de los mejores tenores del mundo.

[@louisreyesrosales7516]

Muchos fracasados dicen que Rolando imita a Placido.. Escucha bien y no repitas los comentarios de muchos envidiosos.

[@eberhernandes3557]

A mi tambien no me gusta Placido por el mismo motivo

[@robertoroaroa8273]

No tienes idea de música, tus oídos no están bien, el mejor entre los mejores.
