My God... This is one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard in my whole life.
Mine, too. Truly.
OMG! I can't believe I never heard him before! He's fantastic!
I hope you’ve gotten to enjoy more of his performances since then. Isn’t he amazing?
Mr. Brownlee has re-created the Golden Age! Absolutely glorious singing - everything that I have heard him do has left me transported to another world! Thank you for this wonderful posting- one of Liszt's most beautiful compositions!
Such amazing technique, such a beautiful voice. I adore listening to Mr. Brownlee.
One day I hope to learn these songs.
Can't sing better.
When music is poetry and poetry is music
Starting the day with a little bitta Larry. :) Makes my heart happy!
Captivating and so much control!!!! Amazing!
I love Lizst's songs and especially this sonnet, what a priviledge to hear such a great interpretation, a big thumbs up to whoever had this put up on youtube!
Jaw drop..... I love Brownlee's voice. Those high D-flat's!!!!! Check him out in his recording of L'Italiana in Algeri, first class!
Isn't it nice to hear these dark colorings in a light bel canto voice, very unique. I want to see his Nemorino now!
fantastic excellent singing, amazing range..... excellent interpretation... bravissimo... I love this Pace Non Trovo singing by Lawrence Brownlee!

Seems this is a later expansion of an earlier version, taken a little more slowly, and now with zooming. BEAUTIFUL, nonetheless!!!
LAWRENCE ES EL NUEVO FENOMENO OPERATICO DEL MOMENTO TIENE UNA VOZ REALMENTE HERMOSA
Bravo!
the first time i heard sonneto 104 for a vocalist!
I read one of the reviews from Rosenblatt ( or somewhere else - I can't remember where exactly ); and in this Lizst sonnet I hear why the reporter/critic/reviewer evoked the word 'baritenor" when describing Mr. Brownlee's voice ! This is just simply most divine !
Browlee's voice is a true tenor voice. If he's a baritenor what is Pav? Of, course this critic's remark is one man's opinion but I wish he'd done some homework before uttering this nonsense. Now you are repeating it, unfortunately. This is how people get misinformed and miseducated. Just a matter of using your own ears and cimparing to other tenors.. When given the time and dedication,the ear educates itself. Good luck.
SONETO DE PETRARCA
O último dos três sonetos de Petrarca, na música
De Liszt, "Eu vi na Terra trajes angelicais", expressa
As belezas celestiais no mundo do sol, a clássica
Inspiração dos mundos felizes à Terra interessa.
As lágrimas terrenas convertidas em luz, chorando
Numa concentração mais doce de todas as outras
São blandícias que chegam no planeta suspirando
Esses momentos inefáveis de beleza são amostras.
Deixando as montanhas de fogo girarem e os rios
Permanecer em seus cursos correndo ao mar, tanta
Doçura renovando ambientes, chegando augúrios.
Regozigemo-nos todos com a alegria que chegou
Nos tempos da pandemia, isto anima e acalanta.
Sabendo que das trevas um ser de luz se restaurou. (*)

nice singer
@ianmceuen have you ever heard Kraus or Pavarotti? They are a very model of interpretation of these sonnets.
How I envy you perfect people who never commit mistakes- ah, the suffering you must go through because of a skipped bar!!!
Interessante
I do not think he skipped a bar. Could you point out where?
the first "egualmente mi spiace" comes in a bar early
Suggest listening to SERGEI LEMESHEV
Lol. Good thing the pianist knows how to collaborate since Mr. Brownlee skipped a bar of rest... Pity.
And Mr. Burnside played beautifully, in my humble, yet professional, opinion.
Didn't hear a skipped bar, but I did hear many over-extended rubati that I felt were a bit out of place. But Bravo Larry! Superb singing!
I deeply disagree with your opinion on Mr. Burnside. Instead of it sounding like the love song that it is, it sounded more like a rough romp in the hay. Warren Jones, where were you?
You didn't notice the bar of skipped rest because Mr. Burnside graciously and skillfully saved Brownlee's butt. Check "egualmente"...
he messed up there 4:28
veramente il nuovo Luciano Pavarotti.
To get real, not racial here - but I think we haven't heard the best of opera yet - we haven't heard what opera can REALLY sound like. Why? Because African American voices of music haven't been yet revealed in this genre of music as wonderfully as I think we shall see. Jessye Norman, Leontyne Price, Kathleen Battle JUST to name a few have proven that the Black voice is quite superior is tone, sound, and warmth. But most of all feeling. I really don't want to offend anyone. Truly. But there *IS* something very special there.
You see and hear it in Soul, RnB/Hip Hop, Gospel, and Jazz. The Black voice can just seem to do things that others can't. So if Opera ever really opened its arms to the black vocal community (and vice versa!) - you would see REAL gems like Lawrence here. Of course training, talent, and time are all needed to make a voice sound like what it should. But we also all know that genes - like for diaphragm, lung capacity, and vocal strength, are all something that matters too. African American singers represent the best of America and I for one would love to hear more from them in opera. How about you?
No se pero su timbre y color me recuerdo mucho con demasiado a Pavarotti... ¿Estoy equivocado?
Es verdad, y eso es lo bello, según muchos tenores de fama decían que el timbre de Pavarotti era único
Wonderful Brownlee, as always! Pity the pianist has no idea what Liszt is about...
