Maestro Carreras...bisogna averla cantata quest’aria per capire la grandezza di questa Sua interpretazione al 100% ...uno dei più grandi tenori della storia!
This has to be THE best performance of all Carreras' great performances of THIS aria. I love his voice. I don't believe I have heard him have such comfort on every single note. This is spectacular.
Those top notes are supposed to be Bb but this orchestra tuning is SUPER SHARP. Makes this already very challenge Aria much more difficult... Carreras handled it well
mammamia, superbo e da brividi... passi per la tecnica personale e gli acuti sparati, ma qui ci sta bene, questo è un brano più di disperate che di ricordi melanconici...
Lovely clip! His Boheme with Theresa Stratas is one of the most heartbreaking performances, ever. The whole production is to blubber over, the third act especially. Thank you.
Carreras was a great singer. He had a very good technique. As well as Di Stefano, he could sing an excellent Forza del destino, but this is an opera written for spinto tenors, and Carreras and Di Stefano were not spinto tenors. Singing operas like this, Aida, Turandot, etc. were very important for the decline of their vocal qualities. Maybe if he could sing it at his fifties, we could listen still today the beauty of Jose's voice...
che anno? dove??? è molto diverso il modo di cantare dalla dizione alla Scala del 1978 qui appoggia molto di più anche se ogni tanto perde la linea e stringe molto meno le pareti
we must just hear voice completely different, cause I disagree that he is singing with chest voice at all in the top. The High A for instance at 6:50 was perfection!
Nulla da dire un canto perfetto , ma manca quella nota drammatica , comunque bravo.Purtroppo la voce presto è declinata per scelte repertorio sbagliate , come questa.
He sings here with great style and great comittments, but I fear his voice is too light for this repertoire... he's lunging at top notes and trying for sound that he simply doesn't have by nature. It's exciting to be sure, but . . .
It is my view that taking on roles like Don Alvaro (when he did) with his basic lyric instrument should not have been encouraged. Whether Carreras‘ voice would eventually become ideally suited to operas like LA FORZA is difficult to say. Carreras was considerably vocally better in this role than Di Stefano‘s effort was when the latter recorded it but soon the splendid freshness in Carreras‘ voice became gradually more stressful in roles like Don Alvaro as time went on. The relatively lighter Verdi roles like Alfredo in LA TRAVIATA along with Nemorino in L’ELISIR D‘AMORE were better suited to Carreras‘ instrument during the mid 1970s & I believe he should have stayed in this repertoire longer. I heard him in a Seattle recital as early as 1978 & his voice was, although not that noticeable yet, beginning to reveal some effortful production especially in his upper range. This part of his voice when singing lyrically was a pleasure to hear but the real glory of Carreras‘ timbre, IMO, lay in his middle range & eventually this became somewhat compromised along with the upper extension of his voice. Carreras’ high register often did not have the ease heard in Pavarotti‘s voice but I never was touched by his expression as I was with Carreras. Even after his Leukemia condition & come back with the 3 tenors, Carreras continued in singing a certain amount of full spinto repertoire that his body & technique found difficult to sustain. When I heard him recently in a much reduced vocal range though, Carreras still could frequently communicate his musical expression in the manner of his earlier years. For me, he affected me the most of the 3 tenors all things considered. 😊
Even though Carreras has a beautiful quality of voice, he does wobble and the voice is strained, even at this early age. His voice is not suited for this heavy role but the audience of rubberneckers seem to love it.

Always the best ,Carreras live on stage was formidable
This has to be THE best performance of all Carreras' great performances of THIS aria.

Tremendo; dicción perfecta, voz de primera calidad pura, limpia y potente... bravísimo.
Maravillosa y apasionada voz. Gran interpretación.
En esos primeros y brillantes años de carrera daba gusto oírle...voz bellísima con muy buena dicción y un fraseo de categoría...
¡Si! Nada más que agregar.
This is magnificent, his rendition leaves nothing to be desired..except of course I would have like to be there!!!!!Thanks for posting this!!!!
El gran discipulo de di Stefano en todo lo bueno y bello de su canto: "Bravo maestro Carreras"
Voces parecidas y malas técnicas y declive vocal rápido de los dos.
Quanto eri bravo! Un grande!
GRANDIOSO!!! MERAVIGLIOSO!!!
Those top notes are supposed to be Bb but this orchestra tuning is SUPER SHARP. Makes this already very challenge Aria much more difficult... Carreras handled it well
Challenging*
his voice is so suitable for this aria :))
Spectacular voice! I like that he sings at the top of his range. It gives this extra beautiful strain to perfection so splendidly achieved by him.
exeptional voice and great interpretation!
ah, what a voice! So beautiful...
el mas grande !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mammamia, superbo e da brividi... passi per la tecnica personale e gli acuti sparati, ma qui ci sta bene, questo è un brano più di disperate che di ricordi melanconici...
Bravisimo!!!
ohh its incredible.Beauty.
i like Jose singing this part:-))
@tuadolcefanciulla
Agree,did you listen 1978 La Scalla version??It`s the the best!
MAGNIFICO
Thanks very much for the information

Wow, Carreras in spectacular voice. What year is this?
this is one of my most favourite videos of opera :) singers.
Carreras was a great singer. He had a very good technique. As well as Di Stefano, he could sing an excellent Forza del destino, but this is an opera written for spinto tenors, and Carreras and Di Stefano were not spinto tenors.

Well the audience liked it and so did I
Voz talentosa🩵🎶🌹💯🇧🇷
Awesome - what a fabulous, fabulous voice! :-D
trying to sound???!!!!tsss...I don't hear any trying, I only hear sound, the most beautiful and thrilling sound I have ever heard...
1979
No , problem ;)))
LOL so true.
I think this is in 1979 in Barcelona.
So, he did sing it out...
@fabioevs52 it may be true:-), in his repertoire, such a pity he fell ill :-(((
Where and which year is this?
this is ridiculous. in a really, really good way.
@aarontenor as Carreras was perfection:-))) i love it to hear him sing this aria.
When was this???
Io credo nel 1979 o 1980.
che anno? dove??? è molto diverso il modo di cantare dalla dizione alla Scala del 1978 qui appoggia molto di più anche se ogni tanto perde la linea e stringe molto meno le pareti

One of the parts that wrecked di Stefano and wrecked Carreras too.
voce bella ma qui Carreras e' fuori repertorio.Il declino di questa voce oltre che alla malattia e' dovuto alla scelta del repertorio.
Unfortunately it wasn't leukemia that ruined his voice, it was trying to sing repertoire like this that did it.
I dont understand, why would using cheater voice to sing High notes makes a tenor to decline?
Does it ruin one's voice badly? Please explain.
Voz muy bella pero su canto de garganta le paso factura pronto y con 40 años ya tenia graves problemas de emisión.
Suscribo tu comentario palabra por palabra...una pena pero así fue.
reeferisme ;) thank you very much.
神一样的男高音！
