Baltsa singing this better at 61 than a lot in their prime

[@davidwelch8288]

She totally blew me away in this performance.

[@eleanorgloria]

I have been watching this video every couple days for like 3 years. Baltsa captures something so raw, so visceral! For a concert performance 🎉 wow

[@orendainlicon]

Agnes Baltsa had a particular kind of belting chest voice in the that I became obsessed with when I first discovered her. Not necessarily a “dramatic” voice like Zajick or Obrasztova but a very compelling way of using her attributes to transmit intensity and pathos. A great singer, one of my favorites.

[@javiertrabajo9438]

Baltsa is so extraordinary that there are no words, Domingo has that ability to get into character even if it is a concert version.

[@michaelblack1977]

Too bad he couldn't hit any of the high notes.

[@javiertrabajo9438]

@@michaelblack1977 I think he could never hit the high notes haha ​​but he's a great actor

MAGNIFICO DUETO GRACIAS POR ESTE VIDEO QUE QUEDARÁ PARA LA POSTERIDAD ❤

[@solanyecaignet1308]

Incredible Baltsa!!

[@laprimmadonna2341]

❤❤Genial! Baltsa extraordinaria. Lamentablemente Amneris se encuentra desaparecida en estos días sin señales de ella hace muchos años. Es gratificante volver a escuchar la voz de una auténtica mezzo, muchas gracias.

[@uppityglivestockian]

Mil gracias. Dios mio. Gigantes de la genero majestral opera. Ojala que un dia pronto lo demas de este gala sera subido. Antes de que yo muero, tan siquiero. Agnes y Placido, un duo completo de voz y lo demas de dimension. Paz y salud.

Grande la Baltsa!

[@luisnorbertogomez7058]

Maravillosos

[@ian.marais1202]

Some singers know their voices e.g Agnes Baltsa. This way they know how to choose the repertoire that suit their voices and what not. That's why some singers like Baltsa, Sutherland, Domingo, De Olivirea could sing way past their so called "prime". They also possess a rock solid technique that carry their voices (as if in their so called prime) late into their 60's, 70's and even much later. But they also know when to call it a day. That's where their brilliance lie.

Magnífica ❤BALTSA !!!

Brava Agnes ❤❤❤

[@hugovera2308]

Escuchar a Baltsa es un placer y más escucharla en un rol de una mezzo más dramática José Carreras y ella hicieron unas de las mejores Carmen que escuche

[@LohengrinTheo]

OMFG is that Christa Ludwig at 10:45 congratulating Agnes

Es increíble, como el maestro Domingo se podría decir que estaba al final de su carrera y después de esto ha hecho otra carrera mas.

[@dawnf.2182]

Yeah!!!!!

[@XIIIRaphael]

I wish and wait Verdi’s Amneris as Baltsa new recording. Conducted by Gatti is better.

[@greatmomentsofopera7170]

Do you have her singing Klytemnestra recently in Greece?

[@yiannisghikasdesign]

Yes

[@deleted01]

@@yiannisghikasdesign Could you explain why this is funny? I don't get the joke. Thank you

[@yiannisghikasdesign]

@@deleted01 Did I say it was funny ? The question was that if she sung klytemnestra recently in Greece and I answered YES because I saw the performance

[@philipc67]

The sound and picture are off sync. She simply blows him off the stage with her vocal volume, respiratory reserve and well-preserved high register despite her exaggerated glottal attack. He sounds arid and small, unable to even pretend trying to reach the higher notes...

[@ЛарисаЛарина-б6ч]

АХ,Доминго,как же он красиво пел раньше,голос звучал ровно и ярко, близко,выразительно.Сейчас уже концы фраз глухие, поются с трудом.

Grandiosas voces! Digno de mencion es tambien el Tenor Gabriele Capurro una voz increible Un ejemplo kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmOvZaOtd8R1m80

Daniele Gatti, conductor?

[@cadecannon159]

The conducting was too fast.

[@tatianailina8794]

Это вам не Татьяна Троянос.У малаи Троянос голос богаче ..низы у нее жидкие

[@radames5855]

Devo dire,che cantato male così non l'avevo mai ascoltato...peccato per questo bellissimo duetto...mi meraviglio di Gatti,che è un direttore bravo,come abbia acconsentito di eseguire con due cantanti mediocri...e il pubblico applaude...non so che dire...

[@JaneUK]

I’ve never heard anyone describe Placido Domingo and Agnes Baltsa as mediocre singers before. I dread to think who you might believe to be in the best of world class, as these two greats truly are.

[@matteolojacono6293]

Vergognoso Domingo

[@giuseppeandreadepaoli5195]

Caso mai la Baltsa? Vergognosa anch'essa, piccolo soprano corto spacciato da sempre per mezzosoprano.

[@michaelblack1977]

What a crappy colleague at the end of what Domingo did. Especially considering he couldn't hit the high notes at all or just barely.

[@clarkepaul837]

HORRIBLE.
