the best tenor around (Tribute to tenor Lawrence Brownlee)

Here is a compilation video tribute to famed operatic tenor, Lawrence Brownlee, singing some of opera’s greatest bel canto repertoire. Donizetti, Rossini, and more. Fantastic orchestras accompany Larry on some of the most infamous stages in the world. Here lies one of the best performers of our times, and many of these from his younger years. He’s just as good now, and lovely as ever both to visit with and to watch perform the magic of his craft!

No squeaky nasal, perfect enunciation, unbelievable breath control as well. Bravo! Can you believe he survived Youngstown, Ohio?

[@orcatherinecuuni6226]

Good morning Great player Thank you so much To hear your voice make me more energetic Lawrence Brown Lee our world tennor wonderful 🤔 How my lord makes you ❤️ !

[@XXXBO444]

He is absolutely outstanding. One of the best Tenors our times.

[@LeeLeeB5]

His voice absolutely thrills me, no matter what he sings❣️ Lawrence is at the very top of the list of my faves❤️ I go to tears every time he sings the song from “Pearl Fishers”❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@JacquelineLanceTenor]

I have had the pleasure of seeing him live in recital twice and at 50 he still sounds as fresh as ever. He is an incredible artist and I love him so much.

[@renatafriedenberg4292]

Beautiful voice!!!

[@jamesgalloway6180]

Certainly the best of all voices. Totally confident, and not afraid to make mistakes. He has a full open throat alla Corelli and his excellent breath control with an outstanding top is similar to Bjorling. His theory of folding a note and turning it like a wheel without a break in the voice controlling it from top to bottom is incredibly difficult. Thank you.

[@laurenhahn101]

If he made a mistake, it would no doubt sound gorgeous. :)

[@dubbelhenke854]

Omg what a fantastic voice. Sounds more like the spectacular quality era of singing in the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s. 😍

[@lindawong6809]

He is my favorite tenor! Many people label him as a high note specialist. Totally wrong. He is a complete singer with perfect technique, feeling, support, voice purity and clarity

[@angelatheisen4548]

And he is also a great actor.

He has a wonderful voice for Bellini, Rossini and Donizetti, even Mozart, but no voice is matching all kind of music!

[@lilianwriterMemoirs]

He is a musician beyond compare. Such great beauty in his divine voice.❤

[@jisiri]

I've been waiting decades for a operatic tenor to move me as much as Jussi Bjorling...whoop there it is!!😁

[@user-gq4lv8sp5k]

동감입니다

[@notsodivinemsm8936]

Just Björling? Jussi had a light tenor like Alfredo Kraus (my personal favourite). I'm a big fan of Lawrence's voice and his acting ability, too.

[@bigtopvoice2197]

His technique is perfect. He’s a great performer as well. The total package.

[@hansheinen9629]

A pure bel canto lyric tenor, with an excellent technique.

[@willen2416]

He will be finally featured in a starring role in a Live From The Met telecast next month as Tamino in “The Magic Flute.” A long overdue honor for this magnificent lyric tenor.

[@Un_Gordo_De_Derecha]

Light lyric, still amazing...

[@danafripp4120]

Every time I get to hear Larry Brownlee, I think about how he almost became an attorney, and I shed a grateful tear for God's Intervention. ❤

[@georgescott3652]

Well it doesn’t get any better than this. I had the great privilege of performing with this extraordinary singer at Seattle Opera when he was in the Young Artist Program. Truly a brilliant singer and colleague.

[@lawwook]

Oh my goodness~ what a pleasure listening to such an amazing voice.. he reminded me of a young Pavarotti.. he had me at 8:20.. Blessing you sir!!

[@juandiegoperezponce2776]

Una de las voces más bellas... En un tiempo donde hicieron cantantes desechables, excesivamente aéreos (ya ni etéreos), casi sin color.... O pesadamente engolados.... De pronto aparece Brownlee y uno dice ¡AÚN HAY CANTO EN EL MUNDO!

[@mariezenaida]

My favorite leggiero tenor. And it's a thrilling sound with FIRE in it. He takes Rossini to a whole other level!!! That Cenerentola excerpt gives me goosebumps.

[@paullewis2413]

The aria from Bellini's "I Puratini" - wow, he nailed it, outstanding!

[@paulsmith2542]

He speaks Italian. Never seen anyone as thorough when it comes to language. Nicer fellow can not be found

[@paulsmith2542]

Entendre..... Pearl Fischers. The best I have ever heard this aria. His connection through the passagio and to his upper notes is just as clearly connected. Most tenors find themselves in a coloratura range that is just to much of a challenge so they revert to a falsetto that breaks up the continuity of the aria. Larry's is just amazingly consistent with rest of the gorgeous sound. Bravo!!!!!

[@camillebouchard6436]

Un très bon ténor.

[@fredycastropinzon7342]

Mi tenor favorito en la cerentenola es el gran tenor mexicano javier camarena y para mi el mejor tenor de la actualidad habiendo muy buenos tenores como este tekor americano que es exelente aunque lo critiquen por tener disque una voz caprina

[@Agorante]

He has definitely improved. A few years ago when he first began to be famous he had a flutter which you could hear occasionally. Now his voice is all of a piece A really solid voice now. If you listen to the early Lauri-Volpi records he had had a even worse flutter but by 1926 he had straightened it out. If you don't sing wrong and ruin your voice, with practice, you get better. By the way, I too had a High F. But being a bass it was an octave lower. I sang with a black studio. My first paid performance was singing negro spirituals. We had a guy who looked like and sounded like Brownlee - maybe better. He impressed the hell out of everyone. His name was Donald Coleman. Most singers never get famous. If you're out there Donald, write back.

[@ciupotto]

è un bravissimo tenore Rossiniano....spero non commetta l'errore di Flores di cantare di tutto....
