opera at it's very best! the chemistry between Caballe and Domingo never fails to thrill. this is so beautiful and truly demonstrates why Caballe was indeed one of the greatest sopranos of the 20th century. the voice is secure and powerful, amazing when she had not long before had a caesarian to safely deliver her daughter. she declined to have a solo spot instead choosing to sing this with domingo. Caballe is undoubtedly a legend and this shows why!
Domingo at this moment, had a conbination of voice color, pathos, high musicality that none other tenor in the history had.This is the ideal Puccini sound and line, plus the genius of Caballe is the highest level possible.
I think Caruso would have something to say about that, Domingo here is young also is voice his enhanced by the microphone, I heard him in these years many time at Covent Garden he did NOT have a heavy voice, this sounds enhanced and unbalanced, it has been doctored. I am 101 years old and I have seen many opera's and many tenors in that time, my first was Rudolf Laubenthal at Covent Garden in 1927 in rehearsals for Gotterdammerung, I was with my Mother my father was a leading tenor in the chorus from 1909 till 1940, he was also alive to see Domingo and Pavarotti in London, his opinion on Caruso was simple, he had perfect Control over a very large instrument and he had all the dynamics and shadings of a lyric Tenor except when he sang full voice he could raise the rafters, often forgot is that Caruso was an accomplished singer of Mozart and even early baroque works, he could sing Florid music with ease, also his coloratura would often bring World famous soprano's to tears, I admit myself that the Tenors of say the 1930's were also superior, I saw a lot Pertile, Melchior, Fusati, Martinelli, Lauri Volpi , Bjorling, Lorenz, Borgioli, Schipa, Thill, D,'Arkor, Tokatyan, Pistor, not forgetting Gigli. for me the most impressive was Giovanni Martinelli, I saw him in London in Aida and I met him after the performance, he was by far the Greatest Radames in my opinion, of that time, also Otello twice with Tibbet Formichi and Norena also in Tosca and Turandot with Eva Turner and Carmen , his Otello to me was and still his the greatest interppretation of that role on Stage, my father had seen Tamagno sing the role in Milan and at Covent Garden he was in with Slezak and Zenatello and Franz the three probable finest in the role at that time, he saw Martinelli first in 1912 , he said his voice was virile martial and extremely lush, he also had easy very high notes, in 1937 Martinelli was probably 57 not 52, but he was masterful and he was a very excellent actor and a first rate musician, my father opined he was the greatest at that time and later when he saw Del Monaco and Beirer singing the role that Martinelli was superior, he also wrote diaries essays and notes on every time he was on an operatic stage and watching or appearing in concerts etc, I have had my Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren collating his writings and essays and also his many signed photos of singers he met and knew, they have not sorted half and it has been two years, I will not see the end that is for sure .My parents were friendly with Alfred Piccaver and Walter Widdop, from Caruso was a photo and small drawing of his performance in the Huguenots with Tettrazini and Plancon also there was a fine photo and note from Fernand Ansseau the Belgian dramatic tenor who was greatly admired in London. On Domingo he saw him twice in Fedora and Tosca, he liked his voice but he said his notes are very strained above B Natural he will not sing a High C perfectly, my father had been trained in Italy and he also had been a leading Tenor in the provinces till 1906 when he a severe bout of Pneumonia and was ill for some time, By then he had two children my Elder Brother and Sister, he auditioned for the chorus and was accepted by Sir Percy Pitt the in house conductor at the garden, back to Domingo he was certain that his Fach was more a high Baritone than tenor, he had not quite bridged the gap between those ranges, earlier Melchior also was a Baritone but he had a much larger voice than Domingo, but he had little difficulty singing a high C when needed.
On Caballe a Lovely lady whom I had the privilege to meet, but also the young Caballe had extremely Beautiful phrasing and her diction was impeccable , she was a wonderful Singer and woman, I cannot remember anybody coming close to her in the last 30 years or so, I saw her in Tosca beautiful eyes and her stage craft was very easy for her, even though she was a Large Lady, still a beautiful woman and a great ambassador for Spain her voice always pleases me, I heard Ponselle she also was the same, even Frida Leider who was a large lady was very easy on the ear, people talk about this soprano or that Soprano they were all great voices , but in opera you need a thing call Stage presence, its when you cannot take your eyes off a performer, Caballe had that, many did not, so it was true of Tenors it was written many times in London that Martinelli on Stage was noble I admit that he was very active on the stage not only with voice but with movements and gestures that you understood, Caballe was like that,she was like a glowing diamond on the stage I remember her with a lot of Tears in my eyes.
Robert Evans , those were beautiful words from you, and yes, Caballé had that stage presence that you said. I’m 67 years old and found how much I love opera this late in life. She was a great lady and unbelievable singer! I love listening to opera, but it’s so often sad, but I keep coming back to it. I wish I had an Interest earlier in life, because I would surely have gone anywhere to see her on stage!
@@debbiejohnson2789 She was a real Class lady on the stage, for a large woman, if I may talk in personal terms, she had what was called Sexual appeal her smile and eyes were radiant, I saw her with Carreras a few times also with her Husband Bernabe Marti who I found was a very good Tenor, but she had a great rapport with Carreras especially in his younger years his voice was definitely the quality of the great Spanish Tenors Fleta and Cortis not the Vibrato of Lazaro, who I heard twice, he had an extremely Large High C and D but for me his personality lacked polish or nobility, Carreras ruined his voice which was a beautiful Lyric Quality with his move in to heavier more Dramatic roles Araiza did the same, which certainly was not their Fach. I also saw her in Paris with Aragall in La Traviata she was pure Magic. She had that way with singing the words, that the Legato was incredibly Lush much like Muzio, her acting was not of the Class of Callas, but she was better than Tebaldi, but all three of these Ladies would have been successful in any era. I than you for your kind words, I wish you good health in the midst of this great Pandemic. Diolch yn fawr i chi, Pob Hwyl.
+msinvincible2000 I prefer Sutherland and Pavarotti. But Domingo and Caballe and Domingo sounds fantastic here. Domingo's voice is more resonant and more effortless then in his later years, which is to be expected. Then there's Tebaldi and Corelli. And Nilsson and Corelli.
@@vettegaddia6234 Es geht jetzt gerde um die beiden. Sowas von fantastisch Cabelle gebührt den größten Dank. Sie ist es die der Ooer Leben gab , diese Lebendigkeit und mich dafür empfänglich mchte❤
I attended the Bing gala in '72, and this performance was one of my favorites. Of course, they all were. It was quite a night to remember. Like Nilsson's Salome.
who are those 9s that clicked "don't like"? where they have the ears? what is what you don't like? Domingo's haircut? Caballe's dress? please, let us know who would sing better nowadays!
Well, the chemistry is evident! That Spanish blood puts the power of their performance into the show of their marked passion and genius. Too, their singing continued together in concert years late when Caballe took a retirement formally from the opera stage...this is wonderful to see. Thank you
How beautiful they both were in those days. Oh yeah, and their voices were quite wonderful as well. As well as this opera. Just everything an opera lover wants in a performance.
When I was 18 I came to opera through tenors like Bergonzi, Pavarotti, Domingo, Carreras. Over the years I came to appreciated Corelli, Bjorling, Gigli, Pertile, Lauri-Volpi, Schipa. For me PD sings the 19th century repetoire with the passion it deserves which includes the drama as well as the musical and vocal discipline. He gives me so much.
Caballe Domingo un sogno sentirli un connubio di poesia e di classe. Grande Rimpianta Monsi. Grazie di esserci stati a farci sognare. Niccolò Terlizzese
How terrific! (He's actually a little too loud for her in places, which I find hard to believe.) She is my favorite modern soprano. Thank you for posting this video.
De niño Domingo era mi tenor favorito ...en esos años 70s grabó con RCA Víctor y tenía una voz más extensa y fuerte que en los años siguientes...recupero su poderosa voz a finales de los 90's y principios del 2000...un grande sin lugar a dudas
He looks very handsome here as well, doesn't he? And she too was actually rather beautiful, back in the day. A wonderful little performance - and so nice to hear the audience reaction at the end (so many UA-cam clips cut off at the last note). Thank you for posting.
En el primer lustro de los 70,s los tenores y Sopranos Españoles estaban en un nivel Superlativo...la Caballe Majestuosa y Domingo en su mejor momento...
M.Caballe is my favourite, and of coarse P.Domingo is great, and I didn't mean to criticize, I rather meant that their voices don't sound as spectacular together for me as they do when M.Caballe sings with Jose Carreras.I only judge by the way I hear music.Apart from that I enjoy this...
Good grief, I never thought I'd say this about Domingo...but he is absolutely amazing in this performance! Singing with the correct technique, open throated, larynx lowered...whatever happened to him? He's wonderful here!
he escuchado la version de MDM con Tebaldi de Decca 1960, y comparada con esta, me gusta bastante mas PD&MC que MDM&RT, curiosamente aqui Domingo canta con mas fuerza y mejores agudos que Mario y la Caballe supera a Tebaldi en delicadeza y finura excepcional. Comparen las dos y veran¡¡
@bodiloto, Tu adoras la inmovilidad perpetua en la opera... Domingo es un estupendo Des Grieux con Caballé, Scotto o Freni como Manon. Sus interpretaciones en el Met son un magnifico espectaculo. MDM es uno de mis tenores favoritos de siempre. Fleta tuvo muy buenos agudos y pianissimi, y MDM es un portento vocal en la historia, sin duda. Pero Domingo tambien tiene sus meritos.....
TOO many roles is what happened. boheme, romeo, otello and then a rigoletto in ONE month. balls my friend! singing so many roles in so many fachs eventually lead to his nasally top and upper middle registers and cautious singing throughout the mid to late 80's and 90's. BUT, prime placido is unmatched in voice and interpretations. there is a reason why SO many OLD school tenors tried to sabatoge this voice with cancellations (corelli)! this is PRIME placi! UNMATCHED in beauty and power!
Corelli was indeed the king of cancellations, but not because he wanted to destroy Placido's voice...my grandparents knew him a little and talked with him once or twice; he canceled because he was overly paranoid about the condition of his voice (i.e. 'my throat is a little sore, get someone else to sing for me tonight, etc.'). This is why one had a very good chance of getting a high calibre performance whenever Franco DID decide to sing.
Recordings don't tell everything. Quality, size of voice, character, integrity, movement & the effect on an audience need describing too. Have you heard a great performance by this singer live, without a mic? If so please post an objective description to add the wonderful UA-cam archive before the memory is lost for ever. How I wish I could have been there to hear Farinelli entrance an audience with the power of a single note, but we do at least have Charles Burney's marvellous account.
queste cose oggi è difficile sentirle. e domingo (grandissimo) che non ha tantissimi ruoli a lui congeniali trova in des grieux la simbiosi perfetta. a mio avviso il più grande renato mai sentito
@bodiloto, Domingo es un magnifico cantante ( baritono-tenor), super flexible, capaz de ganar Grammy por Tristan o Traviata, una hora nada mas y nada menos de aplausos en Viena por La Boheme, cantar muy bien Mefistofeles, Carmen, Tosca, Aida y un larguisimo etc....una carrera incomparable! Cualquier experto ten opera te dira lo mimo que yo.
Hablas de cantidad pero no de calidad. Aprendiz de todo maestro de nada. Puro marketing. Precisamente Su Alfredo era terrible, engolado, monocorde, exagerado, verista, gritón. La Boheme tirante y cantabls el aria bajada de tono. El rey pero de la mercadotecnia.
Me parece q no has lesiones revistas especializadas. Tengo crtiicas feroces hasta de los 80. Eso si, se ha gastado mucho dinero en comprar a críticos, otros no necesitaban esas triquiñuelas para recibir buenas críticas. Domingo Corleone.
@@jesusmunoz2400 As per normal, when everyone else was singing praise and enjoying the show with this magnificent performance, you come along to stick your horrible Beak in things, to spoil it for everyone with your usual outdated saying about Apprentice of everything and Master of nothing. What a Ruddy Bore you are. No wonder your known as MR. SOUR GRAPES, THE APPRENTICE AND MASTER OF NOTHING. Now put that in your Pipe and Smoke it. That intense Hatred of PD is controlling your Life, but don't spoil it for Millions of Erudite knowledgeable people who genuinely know their Opera.
@@jesusmunoz2400 With you your Deep Hatred and Criticism of PD, rather than voice you opinions on UA-cam, I dare you to be Brave enough to write and publish a Book on the subject, and put it out there on the High Street for sale, and see what the reactions of people would be. Can you imagine what the consequences would be. I shudder to think. Then and only then, would we really find out how popular you are,but if you were writing about his Praises and Triumphs instead, you would become a National Hero.
Can someone tell me between Caballe in this and Te Kanawa in another clip of the same duet why it is that Kiri gets panned but I hear that both versions are equally good and if not Te Kanawa had the sweeter voice. IMHO both divas had great techniques. I guess it boils down to personal preference most of the time!
I'm not convinced there were very many other performances like this... I have a couple of performances performed within a year of this one, the 1972 Turandot is pretty bad and the 1973 Rigoletto is even worse. I've yet to see another performance where he sounds as breathtaking as this.
@millonety123 En efecto, eso es mejor a la famosa grabación de DECCA de Del Monaco y una Tebaldi ya entrada en cansancio vocal. MDM todo grito, acá Plácido está en la efusión de su juventud. El registro EMI, con Bruno Bartoletti en la batuta, es el más completo en discos.
I agree fully with you, he should have carried on this way. Singing as Caruso, Pavarotti, Bjorling and many others did... perhaps he would have been a great singer.
@bodiloto, Karajan, Abbado, Mehta, Solti, Muti, Nilsson, Scotto, Freni, L&M Price, Caballé, Berganza, Te Kanawa, Met, Scala, Covent, Liceo, Viena, Paris, S. Frisco, Gammy, Emmy, Legion de Honor, Orden del Imperio B, Medalla de la libetad USA, Doctor honoris causa, etc....hahaha! tienes mucho trabajo, Caro bodiloto!
@FranciscoArvizuH , Pero asi es la vida! A Domingo no lo valoran asi lo haga de bien. Si los agudos estan superior, dicen que los trucados en estudio....Claro, que cuando hay una mala actuacion, por que no utilizó la 'varita mágica' del estudio?, pregunto. Ayer fue su 71 cumpleaños, le deseo lo mejor! Bravo maestro!:....y a bodiloto, que todavia estoy espetando la gravacion de la Turandot de Fleta, ahahaha!
@bodiloto, Domingo decia que para él Caruso fue el mejor, para mi tambien. Despues es posible que MDM es uno de mis favoritos y era verdaderamente impresionante,...el Señor lo tenga en Su Santa Gloria! y a Corelli tambien me place mucho, cada uno con sus caracteristicas, (no Paul Potts, ahahaha!, por quien me tomas!?, yo puedo ser maleducado pero no soy estupido, caro!). La Callas es mi amor total, pero me gusta Tebaldi tambien,...etc
@bodiloto, '...molto simpatico con la tua aria innocente...'...ooooh! oh oh! que tierno y 'cuasi' cariñoso comentario, viniendo de un pugil como tu! hahaha! Tu tambien me caes bien en el fondo, de verdad, te lo juro! No tengo nada personal contra ti y yo se que tu eres un experto en estas cosas,...mis respetos!, pero seria muy largo explicarte mis profundas y personales diferencias de pensamiento respecto a ti, caro!
i didnt make that up. domingo personally knows this as does EVERYONE in the business at that time. corelli didnt like placido and vice versa. corelli is the king of high C's!! C=cancellations!! but, corelli is ONE of the finest tenors ever. period.
@operabitch77 One saturdayafternoon in the mid1960s there wasA Met production of DonCarlo& the announcer had said that Mr.Corelli isindisposed but he will attempt to proceed irregardless, to please forgive him if he is not at his best.He did sing & was absolutely phenominal.I also think that there was a mystiche surrounding himbecause of the cancellations.Will he appear orwont he? will he sound good or wont he?I always thought he sounded fantasticBut i think his vocal decline started around1970
I never heard Domingo's voice sound so opulent . Maybe there is a correlation between physical weight and vocal weight after all!?! Again when Domingo was heaver in the late 70's the voice was much fuller.
@bodiloto, Inteligentisimo amigo bodiloto, ' super flexible' es 'super versátil', si no te place esta caracteristica de la voz y cualidades de Domingo, es 'TU' problema unicamente. Si no te gusta la publicidad,....es algo inherente al mundo moderno y actual. No tiene que ser necesariamente algo negativo....tu tambien metes toda tu envidia en tu critica a Domingo y escondes tus defectos de vulgar y critico malo en una supuesta 'sabiduria' tuya sobre estos temas....open your mind, my friend!
@bodiloto . 3 comentarios antes dije Ruggero el b-baritono, pero el subconsciente me traicionó después y puse 'G' de Gianni el tenor. Perdón! Conozco a ambos. Mi italiano es básico. Soy budista pero no perfecto!...realmente, budista-cristiano, fifty-fifty. Siempre tu comentas lo que te interesa de mis comentarios, cuando yo hablo algo normal o bueno, no dices nada. Eres selectivo solo de lo negativo. Ultimas noticias, Domingo va a grabar una version nueva para la pelicula Titanic.
@Sgarbist, que mal te enrollas, tio¡ Para una vez que lo hace bien...pero ni por esas¡@pieritlyon, y tu? Porque no le envias tu comentario sobre Domingo a la Caballe, a ver que te contesta, listillo¡ Los he visto sinverguenzas, pero lo vuestro es de juzgado de guardia. Os he puesto (junto a bodiloto & Co) el glorioso nombre del "clan del alcanfor". Adivinais por que?
Domingo towers over Caballe in more ways than one, lol. At least she doesn't smother him (so to speak). I know many absolutely adore her voice and I easily agree, it is magnificent. Listening to Domingo when he was very young just reminds me that he was a sincere artist from moment one. His voice here is like a head strong Clydesdale thundering through the music. So he had the generosity of instrument early so he could take his time sculpting and polishing it. Thank God for us that this man existed at all. The greatest tenor of all time, a total artist of deep integrity and colossal command of the opera art form.
I don’t know about integrity regarding this guy. Lately he was asked to leave the Met when allegations by anonymous women came to the front of sexual harassment by Domingo. One woman gave her name and spoke of incidences where she was cornered by him in the wings on repeated occasions. Other women made claims, but were too afraid of losing their jobs, so stayed silent. It is alleged that he’d been up to these antics since the mid eighties. He left without incidence.
@@emitch9213 Caballe never endeavored to master the entire art of opera, she coasted on her voice alone. She never tried to be a good actress, she stayed passable. She never tried to physically represent the characters she played, she expected the audience like it or lump it. While Domingo has had weight issues over the years, he believes in looking the part and in dramatically representing the part.
@@debbiejohnson2789 It's been over a year and the entire attack by the MeToo mafia has gone silent against him. Guaranteed, there are no "18 anonymous" accusers, at best there might be 18 gold diggers with buyer's remorse, hoping to get some sweet MeToo extortion cash. Because if what they alleged were serious enough to punish him for, staying anonymous would be impossible. What job would you stay silent for vs seeking justice in earnest? That's right, no job is worth that, if it were true. But it isn't, so they'll keep their jobs because they were never serious, and so, like I say, they don't exist. The two whose names we do know have the weakest cases. Wulf actually said he never touched her and never negatively impacted her career. Wilson, who's never spoken publicly, claims a stage crew member saw him assault her, and that crew member denies it. You are merely repeating the rumors spread by a news outlet with a very full retractions page and is known for hiring activists for causes they wish to virtue signal for and who tend to write highly clickbaitable headlines, due diligence and high journalistic standards be damned. Don't be a gullible MeToo vigilante, it will not end well for you, trust me. Apply Critical Thinking aka Socratic Method to your world, the mind you save will be yours.
@bodiloto, Todos los tenores que tu siempre dices, tambien me gustan, en menor o mayor medida, ya sabes que soy super-flexible! hahaha!...yo no soy púgil, soy artista sensible, pintor y budista,... no tengo rencor ni odio hacia nadie, créeme lo que te digo, caro bodi,...aunque alguna vez te he podido faltar el respeto en el calor de la discusion, me disculpo...
I agree that prime Domingo was fantastic, but your comment about Corelli is quite uncalled for...Corelli was notorious for cancellations long before anyone knew the name Placido Domingo...it is simply ludicrous to assume that he cancelled just to ruin Domingo's voice.
@bodiloto, hmm! es posible que 'toda tu ametralladora de comentarios' sea verdad y que yo estoy confundido y equivocado como Karajan, Abbado, Mehta, Solti, Muti, Nilsson, Freni, Scoto, Pavarotti,....quizas, soy yo 'solamente' el confundido....hmm!
@bodiloto, no te gusta Ruggero Raimondi!?....y, tu como sabes que a Domingo no le hubieran dejado cantar en la epoca del Gran Caruso (te recuerdo que para mi es el idolo total!)?...hahaha! eres un atrevido adivino o un celoso impertinente!? hahaha!...En mi casa tengo un 'muro' grande con mas registrazioni de MDM y Corelli o Bergonzi en DECCA que de mi admirado Domingo,...y disfruto con todos ellos igual!, yo soy un oyente super-flexible! hahaha!
@bodiloto, '...Domingo è un cantante ordinario...dal vivo non aveva questa voce amplia del tenore lirico-spinto!'...en el Met y todos los grandes teatros del mundo (y sus millonarias audiencias) no opinan como tu. A quien tengo que hacer caso, a bodiloto o a la direccion del Met, el Covent y la Scala?. Quien sabe mas de canto, bodiloto o C.Abbado?....Por que no eres un poquito mas humilde, bodi? Mi corazon.y entendimiento me hacen admirar PD...y a otros muchos tenores tambien.
@millonety123 8 spesso PD non rispettava lo spartito,cantava repertorio poco adatto alla sua voce e cantava male! 9 ascolta la seconda aria di Cavaradossi una volta con Domingo e dopo ascolta Fleta o Corelli...ascolta tutta l'aria e poi mi dici che cosa 'senti'! 10 a volte Domingo non rispettava lo spartito di Tosca,per lui i pianissimi e la messa di voce non esistevano,perché PD non aveva la tecnica e la voce di Fleta e di Corelli! Rispetto Domingo come uomo,l'attore non mi emoziona. Ciao.
My opinion is that Te Kanawa was way out of her depth as Manon. Geat fan of hers when she was in the right repertory Strauss, Mozart - Pity she never attepted Ariadne and there is a good recoring of her Don Carlos Elizabeth here on YT.
You must be deaf or/and full of envy ...normallly original italian singers sound like badly played trumpets. Domingo sounds like a human being singing....and his voice is sheer beauty! If you want to answer...don't do it, I'm not interested in you and your "hatred". Have a nice day!
I was there in '72, and of all the great preformances, this was the highlight for me. I still get gooseflesh. Both of them are sublime.
Lucky you

Today , two years ago, a star went to the heaven and every day is giving us her marstry and her extraordinary voice ! We missed you Montserrat !!!😘😘😘
Fabulous performance of this truly wonderful duet!!!!
who are those 9s that clicked "don't like"? where they have the ears? what is what you don't like? Domingo's haircut? Caballe's dress? please, let us know who would sing better nowadays!
Well, the chemistry is evident! That Spanish blood puts the power of their performance into the show of their marked passion and genius. Too, their singing continued together in concert years late when Caballe took a retirement formally from the opera stage...this is wonderful to see. Thank you
How beautiful they both were in those days. Oh yeah, and their voices were quite wonderful as well. As well as this opera. Just everything an opera lover wants in a performance.
WOW.
GREAT VIDEO! EXCELLENT SINGING!
When I was 18 I came to opera through tenors like Bergonzi, Pavarotti, Domingo, Carreras. Over the years I came to appreciated Corelli, Bjorling, Gigli, Pertile, Lauri-Volpi, Schipa. For me PD sings the 19th century repetoire with the passion it deserves which includes the drama as well as the musical and vocal discipline. He gives me so much.
Una increíble versión. Interpretado en un momento de gran fuerza vocal.para ambos ...
Caballe Domingo un sogno sentirli un connubio di poesia e di classe.
Grande Rimpianta Monsi.
Grazie di esserci stati a farci sognare. Niccolò Terlizzese
Montserrat Caballé esta espectacular, guapisima!!!
Back when Placido could really sing!!! Bravi tutti.
This was when opera was at its zenith! The early 1970’s.
Wspaniałe utalentowane, ujmujące osobowości. Dziękuję za udostępnienie.
Wonderful!
Una INCREÍBLE y bellísima interpretación de estos ya legendarios exponentes del género como Montserrat Caballe y un gran Plácido Domingo
Wow! How beautiful they match togethter. I had never heard them together before!
Pure magic!
What a goddess
One of the most beautiful duets ever, powerful , passionate , tender , beauty of personage and voices of unsurpassed splendour , Bravooooooo❤️♥️💙💋💋💋
How terrific! (He's actually a little too loud for her in places, which I find hard to believe.) She is my favorite modern soprano. Thank you for posting this video.
De niño Domingo era mi tenor favorito ...en esos años 70s grabó con RCA Víctor y tenía una voz más extensa y fuerte que en los años siguientes...recupero su poderosa voz a finales de los 90's y principios del 2000...un grande sin lugar a dudas
He looks very handsome here as well, doesn't he? And she too was actually rather beautiful, back in the day. A wonderful little performance - and so nice to hear the audience reaction at the end (so many UA-cam clips cut off at the last note). Thank you for posting.
She's always been a very beautiful and sensual woman 😍
Why did Domingo stop singing like this. That's the most beautiful dramatic tenor sound i've ever heard.
He was brought up on proven sexual misconduct charges and blacklisted, rightfully so
!Qué agudos de Domingo, qué poderío! Y dicen que no tenía agudos.
Caballé here personifies EXTASY. Domingo is very good but too audible in relation to his incredible soprano.
EXCELLENT!!
Fantastico.......mucho grande!!!!!!Muy bien.....muy lindo!!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎼🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵❤❤❤❤❤❤
He's a hell of a lot better than what we have today. Quite frankly, I'd be happy enough to have a singer as good as 70s Domingo today.
Montsy looks so gorgeous here and they really have chemistry together.
They were pretty good friends. Yes, she does look so beautiful here. She was pretty young then.
Fabulous.
Montsy looks fierce!
CABALLÉ at the top
En el primer lustro de los 70,s los tenores y Sopranos Españoles estaban en un nivel Superlativo...la Caballe Majestuosa y Domingo en su mejor momento...
Fantásticos!
This is wonderful, thank you. More?
y al final del dúo con su sonrisa un parecido incredible con su hija Monsita, no olvido sus sonrisas, un gran beso a las dos!!!!
oh my! beautiful! Im all hot and bothered! What a fantastic pairing! Domingo is fantastic! Caballe, well need i say anything? SUBLIME
M.Caballe is my favourite, and of coarse P.Domingo is great, and I didn't mean to criticize, I rather meant that their voices don't sound as spectacular together for me as they do when M.Caballe sings with Jose Carreras.I only judge by the way I hear music.Apart from that I enjoy this...
Рыдаю, когда слышу... до чего же красиво...
Good grief, I never thought I'd say this about Domingo...but he is absolutely amazing in this performance! Singing with the correct technique, open throated, larynx lowered...whatever happened to him? He's wonderful here!
Her influence of course !
Montserrat caballe. R.i.p. she died today at 85 years old in Barcelona
The end of the era that had the good fortune to have the most superb artist in Montserrat, the best ever ❤️ 💙 ♥️ 💜 💖
Only a God can compose such music: Puccini was ....
caballe and pavarotti were great together too La Boheme
Cedi, cedi son tua......divinaaaaaaaaaa Montserrat , cuando el sol brilla las estrellas desaparecen, bravaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!
he escuchado la version de MDM con Tebaldi de Decca 1960, y comparada con esta, me gusta bastante mas PD&MC que MDM&RT, curiosamente aqui Domingo canta con mas fuerza y mejores agudos que Mario y la Caballe supera a Tebaldi en delicadeza y finura excepcional. Comparen las dos y veran¡¡
I don't think he was ever the best tenor in the world.
@bodiloto, Tu adoras la inmovilidad perpetua en la opera... Domingo es un estupendo Des Grieux con Caballé, Scotto o Freni como Manon. Sus interpretaciones en el Met son un magnifico espectaculo. MDM es uno de mis tenores favoritos de siempre. Fleta tuvo muy buenos agudos y pianissimi, y MDM es un portento vocal en la historia, sin duda. Pero Domingo tambien tiene sus meritos.....
ya LA SUPERBA ES UNA CONSTELACIÓN EN EL FIRMAMENTO DE LA OPERA.....HASTA SIEMPRE QUERIDA MONTSE!
This is the really interesting sort of posting I mean. Thank you.
Oi oi oi kaip galingai!
TOO many roles is what happened. boheme, romeo, otello and then a rigoletto in ONE month. balls my friend! singing so many roles in so many fachs eventually lead to his nasally top and upper middle registers and cautious singing throughout the mid to late 80's and 90's. BUT, prime placido is unmatched in voice and interpretations. there is a reason why SO many OLD school tenors tried to sabatoge this voice with cancellations (corelli)! this is PRIME placi! UNMATCHED in beauty and power!
Corelli was indeed the king of cancellations, but not because he wanted to destroy Placido's voice...my grandparents knew him a little and talked with him once or twice; he canceled because he was overly paranoid about the condition of his voice (i.e. 'my throat is a little sore, get someone else to sing for me tonight, etc.'). This is why one had a very good chance of getting a high calibre performance whenever Franco DID decide to sing.
Recordings don't tell everything. Quality, size of voice, character, integrity, movement & the effect on an audience need describing too. Have you heard a great performance by this singer live, without a mic? If so please post an objective description to add the wonderful UA-cam archive before the memory is lost for ever.
How I wish I could have been there to hear Farinelli entrance an audience with the power of a single note, but we do at least have Charles Burney's marvellous account.
Such a shame he stopped singing like this so early on. Bravo
Coño, qué guapa la Caballé.
jooder que pasada
Domingo ir
Cabalje didinga!
Čia jau jausmų
Okeanas,taip viskas platu,neapčiuopiama!
queste cose oggi è difficile sentirle. e domingo (grandissimo) che non ha tantissimi ruoli a lui congeniali trova in des grieux la simbiosi perfetta. a mio avviso il più grande renato mai sentito
Somebody tie me up and dip me in chocolate!!! This is so good you could wax my legs and I wouldn't complain!
Paul, that is funny, but a nice way to put it!
de que año es este video?
@bodiloto, Domingo es un magnifico cantante ( baritono-tenor), super flexible, capaz de ganar Grammy por Tristan o Traviata, una hora nada mas y nada menos de aplausos en Viena por La Boheme, cantar muy bien Mefistofeles, Carmen, Tosca, Aida y un larguisimo etc....una carrera incomparable! Cualquier experto ten opera te dira lo mimo que yo.
Hablas de cantidad pero no de calidad. Aprendiz de todo maestro de nada. Puro marketing. Precisamente Su Alfredo era terrible, engolado, monocorde, exagerado, verista, gritón. La Boheme tirante y cantabls el aria bajada de tono. El rey pero de la mercadotecnia.
Me parece q no has lesiones revistas especializadas. Tengo crtiicas feroces hasta de los 80. Eso si, se ha gastado mucho dinero en comprar a críticos, otros no necesitaban esas triquiñuelas para recibir buenas críticas. Domingo Corleone.
@@jesusmunoz2400 As per normal, when everyone else was singing praise and enjoying the show with this magnificent performance, you come along to stick your horrible Beak in things, to spoil it for everyone with your usual outdated saying about Apprentice of everything and Master of nothing. What a Ruddy Bore you are. No wonder your known as MR. SOUR GRAPES, THE APPRENTICE AND MASTER OF NOTHING. Now put that in your Pipe and Smoke it. That intense Hatred of PD is controlling your Life, but don't spoil it for Millions of Erudite knowledgeable people who genuinely know their Opera.
@@jesusmunoz2400 With you your Deep Hatred and Criticism of PD, rather than voice you opinions on UA-cam, I dare you to be Brave enough to write and publish a Book on the subject, and put it out there on the High Street for sale, and see what the reactions of people would be. Can you imagine what the consequences would be. I shudder to think. Then and only then, would we really find out how popular you are,but if you were writing about his Praises and Triumphs instead, you would become a National Hero.
Can someone tell me between Caballe in this and Te Kanawa in another clip of the same duet why it is that Kiri gets panned but I hear that both versions are equally good and if not Te Kanawa had the sweeter voice. IMHO both divas had great techniques. I guess it boils down to personal preference most of the time!
Sweeter voice, you are joking hopefully , Montse had the most beautiful tone of any singer I've ever heard .❤️
Caballe maravillosa, Domingo tirante y engolado como siempre.
I'm not convinced there were very many other performances like this... I have a couple of performances performed within a year of this one, the 1972 Turandot is pretty bad and the 1973 Rigoletto is even worse.
I've yet to see another performance where he sounds as breathtaking as this.
This is like eating good Swiss dark chocolate!!!!
@millonety123 En efecto, eso es mejor a la famosa grabación de DECCA de Del Monaco y una Tebaldi ya entrada en cansancio vocal. MDM todo grito, acá Plácido está en la efusión de su juventud. El registro EMI, con Bruno Bartoletti en la batuta, es el más completo en discos.
I agree fully with you, he should have carried on this way. Singing as Caruso, Pavarotti, Bjorling and many others did... perhaps he would have been a great singer.
He was found guilty of sexual harassment and no one would give him a contact
@bodiloto, Cuantos tenores mejores que Fleta, caro, 30,40, segun tu?. y mejores que MDM? En que puesto pones a Fleta y MDM en una lista tuya?.......
Este vídeo es una joya. Yo prefiero a Plácido, pero qué más da, para gustos colores.
@bodiloto, Karajan, Abbado, Mehta, Solti, Muti, Nilsson, Scotto, Freni, L&M Price, Caballé, Berganza, Te Kanawa, Met, Scala, Covent, Liceo, Viena, Paris, S. Frisco, Gammy, Emmy, Legion de Honor, Orden del Imperio B, Medalla de la libetad USA, Doctor honoris causa, etc....hahaha! tienes mucho trabajo, Caro bodiloto!
@FranciscoArvizuH , Pero asi es la vida! A Domingo no lo valoran asi lo haga de bien. Si los agudos estan superior, dicen que los trucados en estudio....Claro, que cuando hay una mala actuacion, por que no utilizó la 'varita mágica' del estudio?, pregunto. Ayer fue su 71 cumpleaños, le deseo lo mejor! Bravo maestro!:....y a bodiloto, que todavia estoy espetando la gravacion de la Turandot de Fleta, ahahaha!
@bodiloto, Domingo decia que para él Caruso fue el mejor, para mi tambien. Despues es posible que MDM es uno de mis favoritos y era verdaderamente impresionante,...el Señor lo tenga en Su Santa Gloria! y a Corelli tambien me place mucho, cada uno con sus caracteristicas, (no Paul Potts, ahahaha!, por quien me tomas!?, yo puedo ser maleducado pero no soy estupido, caro!). La Callas es mi amor total, pero me gusta Tebaldi tambien,...etc
@bodiloto, '...molto simpatico con la tua aria innocente...'...ooooh! oh oh! que tierno y 'cuasi' cariñoso comentario, viniendo de un pugil como tu! hahaha! Tu tambien me caes bien en el fondo, de verdad, te lo juro! No tengo nada personal contra ti y yo se que tu eres un experto en estas cosas,...mis respetos!, pero seria muy largo explicarte mis profundas y personales diferencias de pensamiento respecto a ti, caro!
i didnt make that up. domingo personally knows this as does EVERYONE in the business at that time. corelli didnt like placido and vice versa. corelli is the king of high C's!! C=cancellations!! but, corelli is ONE of the finest tenors ever. period.
@operabitch77 One saturdayafternoon in the mid1960s there wasA Met production of DonCarlo& the announcer had said that Mr.Corelli isindisposed but he will attempt to proceed irregardless, to please forgive him if he is not at his best.He did sing & was absolutely phenominal.I also think that there was a mystiche surrounding himbecause of the cancellations.Will he appear orwont he? will he sound good or wont he?I always thought he sounded fantasticBut i think his vocal decline started around1970
I never heard Domingo's voice sound so opulent . Maybe there is a correlation between physical weight and vocal weight after all!?! Again when Domingo was heaver in the late 70's the voice was much fuller.
@bodiloto, Inteligentisimo amigo bodiloto, ' super flexible' es 'super versátil', si no te place esta caracteristica de la voz y cualidades de Domingo, es 'TU' problema unicamente. Si no te gusta la publicidad,....es algo inherente al mundo moderno y actual. No tiene que ser necesariamente algo negativo....tu tambien metes toda tu envidia en tu critica a Domingo y escondes tus defectos de vulgar y critico malo en una supuesta 'sabiduria' tuya sobre estos temas....open your mind, my friend!
@bodiloto . 3 comentarios antes dije Ruggero el b-baritono, pero el subconsciente me traicionó después y puse 'G' de Gianni el tenor. Perdón! Conozco a ambos. Mi italiano es básico. Soy budista pero no perfecto!...realmente, budista-cristiano, fifty-fifty. Siempre tu comentas lo que te interesa de mis comentarios, cuando yo hablo algo normal o bueno, no dices nada. Eres selectivo solo de lo negativo. Ultimas noticias, Domingo va a grabar una version nueva para la pelicula Titanic.
Oh boy! Singing like this gets me all hot and bothered!
@Sgarbist, que mal te enrollas, tio¡ Para una vez que lo hace bien...pero ni por esas¡@pieritlyon, y tu? Porque no le envias tu comentario sobre Domingo a la Caballe, a ver que te contesta, listillo¡ Los he visto sinverguenzas, pero lo vuestro es de juzgado de guardia. Os he puesto (junto a bodiloto & Co) el glorioso nombre del "clan del alcanfor". Adivinais por que?
Domingo towers over Caballe in more ways than one, lol. At least she doesn't smother him (so to speak). I know many absolutely adore her voice and I easily agree, it is magnificent. Listening to Domingo when he was very young just reminds me that he was a sincere artist from moment one. His voice here is like a head strong Clydesdale thundering through the music. So he had the generosity of instrument early so he could take his time sculpting and polishing it. Thank God for us that this man existed at all. The greatest tenor of all time, a total artist of deep integrity and colossal command of the opera art form.
NO he does not tower over in my opinion...these two so great together professionally looked for the balance...
I don’t know about integrity regarding this guy. Lately he was asked to leave the Met when allegations by anonymous women came to the front of sexual harassment by Domingo. One woman gave her name and spoke of incidences where she was cornered by him in the wings on repeated occasions. Other women made claims, but were too afraid of losing their jobs, so stayed silent. It is alleged that he’d been up to these antics since the mid eighties. He left without incidence.
@@emitch9213 Caballe never endeavored to master the entire art of opera, she coasted on her voice alone. She never tried to be a good actress, she stayed passable. She never tried to physically represent the characters she played, she expected the audience like it or lump it. While Domingo has had weight issues over the years, he believes in looking the part and in dramatically representing the part.
@@debbiejohnson2789 It's been over a year and the entire attack by the MeToo mafia has gone silent against him. Guaranteed, there are no "18 anonymous" accusers, at best there might be 18 gold diggers with buyer's remorse, hoping to get some sweet MeToo extortion cash. Because if what they alleged were serious enough to punish him for, staying anonymous would be impossible. What job would you stay silent for vs seeking justice in earnest? That's right, no job is worth that, if it were true. But it isn't, so they'll keep their jobs because they were never serious, and so, like I say, they don't exist. The two whose names we do know have the weakest cases. Wulf actually said he never touched her and never negatively impacted her career. Wilson, who's never spoken publicly, claims a stage crew member saw him assault her, and that crew member denies it. You are merely repeating the rumors spread by a news outlet with a very full retractions page and is known for hiring activists for causes they wish to virtue signal for and who tend to write highly clickbaitable headlines, due diligence and high journalistic standards be damned. Don't be a gullible MeToo vigilante, it will not end well for you, trust me. Apply Critical Thinking aka Socratic Method to your world, the mind you save will be yours.
What you say of Caballé isn't empty of truth, but is highly reductionist.
Domingo aquí todavía era barítono! Caballé excelente, aguantando el tiron de los gritos de Domingo
@bodiloto, Todos los tenores que tu siempre dices, tambien me gustan, en menor o mayor medida, ya sabes que soy super-flexible! hahaha!...yo no soy púgil, soy artista sensible, pintor y budista,... no tengo rencor ni odio hacia nadie, créeme lo que te digo, caro bodi,...aunque alguna vez te he podido faltar el respeto en el calor de la discusion, me disculpo...
I agree that prime Domingo was fantastic, but your comment about Corelli is quite uncalled for...Corelli was notorious for cancellations long before anyone knew the name Placido Domingo...it is simply ludicrous to assume that he cancelled just to ruin Domingo's voice.
It's like callas and corelli
@bodiloto, hmm! es posible que 'toda tu ametralladora de comentarios' sea verdad y que yo estoy confundido y equivocado como Karajan, Abbado, Mehta, Solti, Muti, Nilsson, Freni, Scoto, Pavarotti,....quizas, soy yo 'solamente' el confundido....hmm!
@bodiloto, no te gusta Ruggero Raimondi!?....y, tu como sabes que a Domingo no le hubieran dejado cantar en la epoca del Gran Caruso (te recuerdo que para mi es el idolo total!)?...hahaha! eres un atrevido adivino o un celoso impertinente!? hahaha!...En mi casa tengo un 'muro' grande con mas registrazioni de MDM y Corelli o Bergonzi en DECCA que de mi admirado Domingo,...y disfruto con todos ellos igual!, yo soy un oyente super-flexible! hahaha!
@bodiloto, '...Domingo è un cantante ordinario...dal vivo non aveva questa voce amplia del tenore lirico-spinto!'...en el Met y todos los grandes teatros del mundo (y sus millonarias audiencias) no opinan como tu. A quien tengo que hacer caso, a bodiloto o a la direccion del Met, el Covent y la Scala?. Quien sabe mas de canto, bodiloto o C.Abbado?....Por que no eres un poquito mas humilde, bodi? Mi corazon.y entendimiento me hacen admirar PD...y a otros muchos tenores tambien.
@millonety123
8 spesso PD non rispettava lo spartito,cantava repertorio poco adatto alla sua voce e cantava male!
9 ascolta la seconda aria di Cavaradossi una volta con Domingo e dopo ascolta Fleta o Corelli...ascolta tutta l'aria e poi mi dici che cosa 'senti'!
10 a volte Domingo non rispettava lo spartito di Tosca,per lui i pianissimi e la messa di voce non esistevano,perché PD non aveva la tecnica e la voce di Fleta e di Corelli!
Rispetto Domingo come uomo,l'attore non mi emoziona.
Ciao.
My opinion is that Te Kanawa was way out of her depth as Manon. Geat fan of hers when she was in the right repertory Strauss, Mozart - Pity she never attepted Ariadne and there is a good recoring of her Don Carlos Elizabeth here on YT.
You must be deaf or/and full of envy ...normallly original italian singers sound like badly played trumpets. Domingo sounds like a human being singing....and his voice is sheer beauty! If you want to answer...don't do it, I'm not interested in you and your "hatred". Have a nice day!
