Alfredo Kraus singing at 71 “Pourquoi me reveiller” (10/10/1998)

The 71 years old Alfredo Kraus singing with such emotion and courage despite his illness his famous tenor aria from Werther!! I have restored the sound from the original broadcast! Enjoy!

Er berührt meine Seele!!! 😊

I heard his farewell London concert and it was equally impressive. He sang the fille du regiment aria as a curtain raiser!! This is real bel canto technique.

Well this is absolutely unbelievable. To sing like that at 71. He was really one of his kind.

[@jordipanadesribera6890]

MAESTRO EVER.

[@amedeofolco9988]

Lui sarebbe morto credo di lì a pochi mesi... arrivare così a questa età e con tale integrità vocale e tecnica c'è solo da inchinarsi

[@LigeiaNoire]

Bel Canto....you will definitely sing forever and beautifully. No other technique has such longevity

[@ainguyenvan4577]

Wow. He is 71 years old

[@mariateresapitarque1703]

Ο Κράους ήταν/είναι σίγουρα ένας από τούς καλύτερους στην κλάση του. Η άψογη τεχνική του τού επέτρεψε να τραγουδά ακόμη και σ' αυτήν την ηλικία. Έχεις κάμει, ως συνήθως, εξαιτετική δουλειά στην αποκατάσταση.
Ναι είσαι καλά, φίλε μου.

Aquí tenía 71 años y la enfermedad ya avanzada sobre su organismo...se le nota un poco cansado y con un fiato algo mermado...no obstante como iba tan sobrado...aún en esas condiciones salió más que airoso...ERA ENORME DON ALFREDO.

cuando uno tiene una técnica sólida y canta el repertorio adecuado, pues eso canta para siempre

FANTÁSTICO

One of the most beautiful arias in the literature.

Auditorio de Zaragoza , sala Mozart . Homenaje a Miguel Fleta .

Class. Despite being past his prime a bit - so interesting. No exaggerations, no sobbings, just wonderful singing. Perhaps the most balanced and aristocratic of all tenors.

Aquí tenía ya el cáncer de páncreas aunque aún no lo sabía. Meses después falleció.

@@jesusmunoz2400 How sad. 🥲One of the truly great singers of the past century.
