You just can’t listen to others performances after this one, this is sensational, the best ever !
Young Rocky is simply the super tenor.
He's a madman! You just HAVE to love him!
The phrasing and coloratura here is AMAZING, lets not forget his diction...he was really on it
A Diamond of bel canto!
Rocky--incredible! His beautifully fluid coloratura and full, ringing tone puts Florez to shame. Those two high Ds are dazzling. He has everything! (the chorus, on the other hand....) Bravo, Blake!!! How we would love ot hear a voice like this today.
Yep. None of the Rossini singers today even come close.
THE greatest, period!!!!
Just prince of Rossini's operas...Bravo!!!
Just unreal! One of a kind!!
Not only is his voice in perfect form, but his diction is amazing!
BRAVO!
The look on the chorus members' faces when Rocky takes that high D from nothing is simply priceless!
Yes, we appreciate the great moments. I sang in that chorus for 30 years.
@@Perrosiutico WOW!! So you actually saw Rocky live?? How was it?
It almost looked like the chorus didn’t expect that D to come flying out, but the orchestra caught him coming down perfectly! 👌
Blake. As always, extraordinary. A vocal phenomenon.
Una disinvoltura vocale impressionante!!! Senza pari
I saw this at the NYC Opera. It was great. Those days no one made a big deal of these performances. There were so many good productions and wonderful singers there. Alas, today it all hyped up schyt.
Era veramente straordinario. Tecnica, gusto, mezzi vocali, presenza in scena...aveva tutto. Il tenore rossiniano per eccellenza. Grandissimo Blake
7:15 - That open blast of vocal prowess!
Rockwell Blake was the Best Don Ramiro........JDF cant put his shoes in this roll.....
Wish they did more opera in English in the states, this is great
Es fabuloso como canta. Esos agudos y ese fiatto interminable. Este hombre es una leyenda.
WOW!!!! I'd say they're close to the best Top Cs I've heard in this aria, and wow 7:15 and the top D at 7:51!!!! Yes, ghastly english and thankfully opera has left the 80s well behind :) Young Rocky: simply wonderful!!!!
I'll disagree with you there, the English is really good in my opinion. Contrast it with the English National Opera's Rigoletto, for example, where the English was terrible (and that's being polite).
His voice is a marvel. Rocky is a marvel, Antonio! =)
Wow!!! Blake is the GOAT!
Maravilloso despliegue actoral y que fantástico tenor un grande felicidades
Out of this world Rossini! Your videos are a marvel, Maria!
Extraordinario Rockell Blake. El mejor tenore di grazie del siglo xx
No importa, era simple curiosidad. Gracias.
Es una gozada ver las interpretaciones de estos "monstruos" de las maravillosas melodías que compuso Rossini.
Esto es increible!, la fuerza y timbre vocal son magestuosos, no me deja de sorprender :)
FABULOUS SINGER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BRAVO ... BRAVO ... 💜♥️💙💚💛🖤
Opera is an acquired taste and can take many years to understand and appreciate.
You have to hear his Puritani and his Sonnambula! Pure magic! On you tube there is a duet with Lloris from Sonnambula.
Bravo
Perfect
Rocky is incredible!
Very ernest Cs. Good english too.
I would love him do this aria in Italian to fully appreciate the vowels.
Thanks for sharing!
Yes please!! Rigoletto!!
La versión eb inglés está muy conseguida y no desmerece en nada al original. Alguien sabe quien hizo el trabajo y si es reciente o ya se hizo en vida de Rossini.
Blake sensacional, increíble.
Alan Titus sobresale en su papel de Dandini, me encanta su timbre de voz.
Gracias por compartir este y el resto de videos.
This is really great, just one little thing: They cut some parts out of the choir parts in the aria. Otherwise, it's awesome singing by a real master of classical singing.
Ineguagliabile ed ineguagliato.
unusual language, but still showing all his singing beauty, even in english, and it's much harder there. In the recitatives, some laughter was heard, seemed like a comedy first, but then it finished totally professional.
Absolutely insane
7:15 aaaaaaaa
So strange to hear it in english, almost distracting. Nice production and excellent performances though. It's always good to hear Rockwell and Titus. Thank you for posting.
"pledge of affection"
Salva, no seas exagerado : ) m encanta ponerlos!
To answer the most prominent question, why is this in English? Simple. To attract a diminishing American audience that wants to understand the story. As a tenor myself forced to sing in horribly translated operas, I must admit this translation is quite good- the whole aura has a feeling of Sigmund Romberg. I actually prefer the young Rocky here over the later one (and more robust vocally) which is performed in Italian. Cheers.
I think the translation here is really good. It's actually quite lyrical imho.
😍
E la Lucia!!!!
why the heck did they did this in English? Rockwell is awesome; it was incredible, but it would have been one the best interpretations of this aria if it had been done in Italian (plus, it would have been twice as beautiful).
Does anyone understand what he says in the middle part? Oh, lovely...?..., you speak to me of devotion?
piasecznik o lovely pledge of affection :)
Pegno = pledge
gracias a tí : )
tu pregunta no la sé : (
Better than Florez
Fabuloso!!!
Dónde fue esto?
Could somebody name the difference between his performing at 20 and 70 y.o.?
can you upload or tell where to find this whole show? I'm in search of all the operas in english version so I don't have to read for 2 hours lol THANK YOU!
According to Wikipedia this opera is recorded on DVD Premiere Opera Cat: 6825.
@@andrewvincenti2664 excellent! Thank you!!
Как будто с англ. субтитрами посмотрел...
Hello,
I'm dying to find a copy of this opera!!! Where can I buy it?
Please help me!!
Thank you very much!
Paolo
Beautiful singing... but UGH, I hate the english translation.
OMG, so kitsch...
Not kitsch at all : everything is ironic in this production
Oh no, singing in English. Should be illegal
In inglese ahahahahah e che allestimento orrido....... ridicolo
Que horror cantado en ingles, es una porqueria, el tenor es muy bueno!!
there's no better way to ruin an immortal masterpiece than to hear it translated
No importa, era simple curiosidad. Gracias.
