Estuve personalmente en la funcion del Crociato en Montpellier (julio 1990). Fue apocaliptico !! no hay palabras para expresar lo que oimos y sentimos frente a la interpretaction al vivo del Maestro Blake. Aun oyendole en la grabacion se me ponen los pelos de punta... en la cabaleta final la gente se volvio loca ! .... Ademas la representacion fue al aire libre... no en sala de concierto... Gracias por postearlo.
Armidalicorne.- Creo lo que dice por completo. Yo lo he escuchado varias.veces en directo y todavía supera a las grabaciones discográficas. En directo causa admiración y deja atònito a uno. Un escándalo y un delirio por.el increíble dominio del canto rossiniano y todo el repertorio que cantó. Cordialmente. .
This is the only one record with Rockwell Blake and in my opinion the most wonderful cast with french mezzosoprano Martine Dupuy and bass Sergio Alaimo . it was a first mondial premiere since the creation in 1824. Few recordings (maybe on stage at Pesaro ?) But the best of the best for me Is this one of the festival of Montepllier France in 1990 were I was. Rockwell Blake always sung all the composer's musical score. So, the "hig notes" as you said are those Meyerbeer wrote in 1823-24. Mr. Blake never will ad any notes by himself except if composers like Rossin'si asks the singer to ad some variations by themselves. But it's added on the musical score. So, I think in my own opinion, that it's not because you are a lyric tenor that you can sung this part as Mr. Meyerbeer wrote. This is a role more much as Rossini's.
There is another record from 1979 at Carnegie Hall. Blake goes to High D at the end! Amazing singer. You can find it on youtube. Search for:Rockwell Blake - Queste destre l'acciaro di morte - Crociato in Egitto - Meyerbeer - 1979
I did hear it, but I do prefer this one from Montpellier Festival Radio France of Montpellier (France) mondial premiere since (Meyerbeer's) from 1990. It was live and I was there !
Festival de Musique Radio France de Montpellier (France). Retransmitido en directo por Radio France. Estuve aquella noche yo alli, y sobran palabras para expresar lo que todos sentimos : estuvimos parte de la funcion sobre las nubes. Gracias por compartir. Tenia yo la grabacion complete y se me perdio.

armidalicorne There is a better recording of the same aria with the same artist with more high notes. I can't find it :(
