This is even - so to speak - highest quality of singing (and expressing human feelings). Unuebertrefflich in every time, never ever again! Bravissima Anna Tomowa-Sintow! Bravissimo Placido Domingo! Und wie sie sich gegenseitig aneinander begeistern!!!
A rememberance to all that today seek easy solutions in turmoil times. It is all about the "tale of two cities" or taking part in one side or the other. Well, love and close relations can NOT take sides.
Listen also to the amazing timpani playing of the late, great Royal,Opera House timpanist Alan Taylor, RIP…pedalling his way through this duet, including an amazing upwards scale towards the end. Playing of the utmost brilliance, night after night. It was a thrill to hear him always.
PLÁCIDO DOMINGO y ANNA TOMOWA-SINTOW conforman otro grandioso Dueto de Amor, el mismo que diversas parejas de grandes solistas han igualmente interpretado con absoluta maestría y con un profesionalismo sin límites. Este dueto marca el cierre impetuoso de la Opera ANDREA CHENIER, original del gran compositor italiano Umberto Giordano y basada en textos sobre episodios reales de la Revolución Francesa, aunque los hechos narrados y los nombres sean realmente ficticios. La magnificencia de las dos voces, la fuerza expresiva de la música, junto con el vigoroso respaldo de los timbales y de los redoblantes en los pasajes más intensos de este cuadro final, hacen de este cierre uno de los más grandiosos jamás escritos en el catálogo de dramas históricos tipificados en las notas vibrantes y arrolladoras de este final.
Domingo and Tomowa-Sintow deliver an excellent performance with a powerful dramatic crescendo. His voice sounds beautiful and quite youthful. Hers does not sound quite as youthful but is round and firm up to the high notes. There is an intriguing quality to her timbre.
Great delivery of this spectacular finale. Wonderful voices and so much passion. Who cares if they sing half tone below? This is opera as it should be performed, not what we have now in many opera houses.
@vivadomingo1 and @Carlos Montane. Bringing this half a step down was not uncommon. One mentions Del Monaco did it and so did Di Stefano. When they do these productions they do several performances. When you sing this type of music and especialy something as heavy as Chenier, you are going to have nights when you need to get a bit of a break I guess. Remember also you are at the end of the opera. You tend to be a bit tired at this point.

Totalmente de acuerdo con Ud.

Half step down, for Domingo, who else ????. The B flat was top, why do you think Bonisolli called him Placi mingo ??? because no DO.
Carlos Montane
Bonisolli is king and God

Most tenors sing this down in live performance - even Corelli and del M. So what is your point?
No sé inglés, pero creo que Ud. blasfema.
Carlos, no diga tonterías.
This is a disappointing performers. It's really beyond their capabilities and to say. Sincerly Arnold Bourbon Amaral
