Primer comentario

[@tadeuszfraniczek7153]

Moim zdaniem zbyt rozległe to przedstawienie, ale co tam taki wieśniak jak ja może wiedzieć o prawdziwej sztuce. Szkoda, że nie ma napisów, które można by przetłumaczyć na swój język. Wykonawcy super. Brawa

O don fatale 1:56:40

[@UlrikPTA]

A good night for Samuel Ramey. Of course, the vibrato is bigger than it used to be but not so big as to ruin the enjoyment of the singing. The sound is still impressive from bottom to top (more than two octaves for the Inquisitor) and he has lots of stage presence.

[@ColonelFredPuntridge]

He might be exaggerating the vibrato and "old-age" sound deliberately. Remember, the character is supposed to be in his 90s.

[@arrassip]

I thought that but may be not

[@ColonelFredPuntridge]

@@arrassip I agree, difficult to tell.

[@arrassip]

@@ColonelFredPuntridge after 1.42.27 the king says words are not in the text.
