Jestem zachwycony tym tenorem. JUz dawno nie było polskiego tenora, który by tak świetnie śpiewał. Jest tutaj wszystko - talent - technika - i co najwazniejsze piekno.
People with no musical or singing knowledge are entitled to their opinions, but should restrict them to like or dislike. A singer usually has a natural vibrato, or can train the voice to sing a trill, but a tremolo is something altogether different and not of any real use to a singer. Mr Beczala is the great hope for opera today, he is relatively new to Verdi, and is meeting its demands beautifully. Singing at this level takes time and much work. The greatest Polish tenor since de Reszke.
Beczala's voice only hit its stride 5 years ago. In a few years, trust me, everyone will forget about Villazon, Alagna, and Cura. IMHO this is the greatest tenor to emerge since Pav, Domingo, and Carreras. What's not to love? Its all here. Beautiful lyric tenor sound, flawless technique, thrilling high notes, superb diction in all languages...All used with great intelligence, musicality and style.
@bigus omg, you are right about brownlee. i just listened to him now. his repertoire has potential to be more extended than beczala's or flores'. in a few more years he will be the best. i think his voice still needs to fill up more and in a decade he could be singing like pavarotti
@MartinHouser THE best living tenor out there, period. He has been perfecting his sound and understanding his repertoire, which can take a lifetime, rather than filling his pockets. He is, by far, the most perfect Rodolfo I have ever seen in video or live, when I saw him in La Boheme this year. Intelligent, sublime. I am not crazy about him in Verdi, at least in these youtube videos. He strikes me as a very 'modern' singer, with modern lines, perfect for Puccini.
@piax00 I don't agree that he is the best living tenor. I think he is the best living tenor in this vocal fach. For the leggiero lyrico roles, I love the work of Brownlee, Spyres and Tarver.
i agree comletely. there is a lot of wunderlich in becsala. You can tell he is a big fan. he even have some little semblance to wunderlich. But ther is no way you can compare Calleja to Björling... that is nonsense
in is begginigs calleja had a noticeble tremolo in his voice. Now a days he had controlled it and he is singing much better than in his start. even though i think that Beczala is much superior.
@dracher You are fogetting Jian Kiepura. I don't want to start an argument about who's better if Beczala or Kiepura but you can't forget to name him when you are talking about polish tenors.
@maestraconway Beczala refuses to sing anything that does not fit his voice, he sticks to his repertoire and is loyal to his opera company in Switzerland, where he honed his craft. This is why he is not marketed highly, he was just not singing everything the opera houses were scheduling. He was not prostituting his voice to suit the opera houses' schedules and programs. With a voice like his, it pays to wait before 'cashing in' to say it crassly.
...no doubt? Beczala: yes. Calleja: no. Calleja has an ugly "tremolo" in his voice, this is unusal. And his voice is much weaker than beczalas voice. get me right: i am not a fan of beczala, but i think he is much better than Calleja.
@MartinHouser the best tenor out there today has to be lawrence brownlee. this guy is definately good but he sings too open and loses alot of ring in the sound as a result, so his tone is fuzzy and unclear. he has a great voice but is still technically a bit weak imo.
Ему трудно петь на заглубленном звуке, хотя звук у него в общем не гуляет, уходит лишь местами, и просто заглублен, абсолютной свободы и кантилены, как и достаточной подвижности голоса нет, хотя в целом исполнение оставляет приятное впечатление, голос красивый, мягкий, но по музыкальности исполнения этой партии к Карузо еще никто не приблизился, хотя здесь исполнение по мелодике много ближе к вердиевской, чем у многих других.

Simply brilliant!

This is a Masterclass, and everyone critisizing it knows NOTHING about singing or how this aria needs to be performed! BRAVO!!!!!
უნაკლო შესრულება! ერთ ერთი დაუკეთესო ჰერცოგი ბრძანდებით ნამდვილად! Bravo,maestro Piotr!❤
Braaaavooooo !! J'adore !!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Para mi el mejor tenor ! Impecable en todos los roles ! Bravo Piotr Beczala !
Beczala sounds to me the best lyric tenor I have heard since Carlo Bergonzi and there is just a bit of Jussi Bjorling in there as well!!
Whole-heartedly agree.
Good tenor very good voice bravo
égal a lui meme toujours la voix aussi belle le plus grand ténor aujourd hui bravo
Mr. Beczala, that was brilliant.
Santi is a living legend... and still going strong... can't believe he is still conducting - he must be 80. Bravi.
Sempre perfetto 👍🌹
the aria here had to be sung very slowly. a great challenge for the singer! extraordinary performance by piotr beczala!
Great! Such a versatile singer, too!
Eccellente, magnifico, bravissimo !!!!!!!!!!!!!
magnifica voce!!!
Piotr Beczala was the greatest tenor then. And he's the greatest tenor now!!! A magnificent voice and an extraordinary performance.
j'aime beaucoup cette puissance sans faille et cette diction !
Uma bela voz... conquistou o MET EM 2006.
Beczala's voice only hit its stride 5 years ago. In a few years, trust me, everyone will forget about Villazon, Alagna, and Cura. IMHO this is the greatest tenor to emerge since Pav, Domingo, and Carreras.

muy muy bueno! y una voz de oro!

Belissima performance, magistral!
Il Capo della Orchestra is Nello Santi, a great italian opera conductor....a master

Bravo!
The Tempo is slowly and he insists his singing to the end. its not simple..........bravo
Sehr schön!
magnifique!
h s so amazing!
Bravo!!!!!!!!!
Ich hoffe dass diese Arie von UA-cam nicht gelöscht wird.❤
I always believed they grow "great tenors" in Zuerich. 2 names come to mind. Kaufmann and Beczala.
@enricodicapri i think Carreras also said he (Carreras) was a Wunderlich´s admirer:-)
@bigus omg, you are right about brownlee. i just listened to him now. his repertoire has potential to be more extended than beczala's or flores'. in a few more years he will be the best. i think his voice still needs to fill up more and in a decade he could be singing like pavarotti
Damn, why couldn't he sing like this when I saw him and he totally bombed Faust in Chicago. Glad he can bring it for his recordings at least.
A mi pobre entender , técnica impecable ! Como redondea !
and Wunderlich!
@MartinHouser But even in Verdi, his sound is always beautifully polished.

fantastycznie . poprosze cos z polskiego repertuaru

Yes it's from Zurich ;)
fein gesungen!
Chopin comcertp
His voice is very good, but his "vendetta" makes me sleepy!

...nah, he's way better looking than Bjoerling.

Those 9 people are Gilda's relatives

Viva Villazon, Alagna y Cura.
This is not true!
