I don't know why some people insist on making professional opera videos some sort of talent search to see who can surpass Pavarotti. This isn't a contest. Appreciate Juan Diego Florez for who he is.
J D Flores brought the Royal opera house DOWN when I attended the opera. The audience broke into such ovation ( clapping and tapping ) I sensed the vibrations of the theatre. It was an earthquake quality of ovation.
no one will ever surpass Lucian pavarotti, Juan Diego himself says he wishes he had Pavarotti's voice which is, for certain, the best male voice of all time.
His version is flawless, amazing really but the best? I can see why you used that adjective but many great tenors have sung this aria and I love most I’ve heard. Including this marvelous rendition.
Es ist nicht nur seine Stimme, sein Charme , sein ausdruckstarkes Gesicht mit sprechenden Augen und seine sportliche Beweglichkeit auch beim Singen, das macht ihn EINMALIG !!!! Das konnte bisher noch niemand von der grossen und sehr geliebten Garde !!!!!!!
@@johnboy8576 Yes, I saw his role debut as Rodolfo at the Zurich Opera House in March 2020, it was lovely! The ROH production is probably going to be even nicer!
So I was there for that performance (ok, so maybe 5 times....) and he brought the house down in a way I've never seen at Covent Garden, every night. However, Natalie Dessay was utterly amazing too, and it's sad that she gets overlooked by this historic performance. She was utterly stunning
@@xxsaruman82xx87 You've got an awful lot of guts to be speaking down upon singers with such disrespect. If you do not like a voice or think it lacks any development or technique, I wouldn't agree with you but I would respect your opinion. With the amount of disrespectful slander you're hurling at JDF, however, you're just disgusting. You've been going around on all of the comments praising JDF and tearing him apart. I'd love to see you sing opera and get even NEAR this level of sound and ease. If you hated listening so much, why not just keep that to yourself and not listen to him?
@@bryanpark7247 Ah, that old thing. That I have to be an opera singer to say anything about technique. I would never want to sound like Florez, thanks.
This piece is like it was written specifically to torture singers. But he sings it effortlessly. Like how some consider some of Paganini’s caprices to be “impossible” to play properly. And then some 15 year old plays it on a ukulele.
Bravo 👏 impressive very enjoyable on the and easy on the ears. At the end though he really powered through that militeeeeeeeee-e-e-e-eeeeeeere decent to the final note with overwhelming power. Great job
Simply the number 1 in all aspects of a Tenor 🎉🎉🎉his singing is so natural JDF is really a complete package of a opera singer and beautiful human being🎉🎉🎉
@@xxsaruman82xx87 oi, delusional twat. Pavarotti is different, not better. Florez is in all fairness a better actor and can sing whilst moving around the stage - something that the corpulent Pavarotti could never do.
@@xxsaruman82xx87 I'm telling you the ones that are considerate. muehle is great too, but to say that florez and kauffmann are terrible is outrageous. even placido or pavarotti have praised them. the master even mentioned that he was his successor. Or are you also going to tell me that Pavarotti was bad.
@@rodrigogonzalez5234 Domingo was pretty bad for the majority of his career. And Pavarotti is overrated. He was indeed great, especially in the 60s and 70s and in the bel canto repertoire, but he should never have sung Cavaradossi, Riccardo and Manrico, let alone Calaf and Otello. And Pavarotti is not 'the master'. There have been many tenors better than him. But none of that matters. Many great artists have praised lesser artists, especially now with the complete lack of operatic talent. Muti, the great conductor, said that Anita Rachvelishvili was the 'greatest Verdi mezzo in the world right now', when not only is her technique terrible, but she is not even a mezzo! Kaufmann and Florez are terrible. They have small voices with no squillo or chiaroscuro whatsoever. Kaufmann is throaty and woofy, and his vowels are completely occluded. Florez is nasal beyond belief, he sings in mixed voice, has no chest voice development whatsoever and has screamy high notes. If you compare Kaufmann with true dramatic tenors like Del Monaco and Melchior or Florez with true leggiero tenors like Schipa and Valletti, then it's difficult not to see that they are a world apart.
As a contemporary trained singer, I used to dislike classical singing because it sounded artificial. Man, florez sounds so natural when he is singing, it amazing

Art isn’t a contest. But, for some reason, the US has this habit of making a contest out everything. It doesn’t help that there are several and very famous competitions. Just remember, none of this is a race or contest or test. It just is.
Mira que me gusta Juan Diego Flórez, me parece el mejor tenor lírico de su generación. Pero justo acabo de escuchar esta misma aria cantada por Pavarotti... Y es que son dos mundos distintos.
Donizetti se empeñó en añadir 9 do de pecho en una sola aria, lo que la hace imposible cantar correctamente a todos los tenores. Solo unos pocos pueden alcanzarla, no es cuestión de estudio o de ensayo…..se tiene, o no se tiene. Y Pavarotti si la tenía, por eso esta aria es tan maravillosa cuando él la canta.
I prefer this version to Pavarotti. Here’s the obvious difference between a dramatic tenor(Pavarotti) and lyric tenor (Florez). This joyful, jaunty and a lil’ comical song is better suited a lyric, as they have brighter joyful tone. I can feel the joy out of him way more and feel his comical excitement. Lyric tenor for the win.
Pavarotti isn’t a dramatic tenor. He doesn’t have the support or range to be a dramatic tenor. He’s a lyrical tenor. Listen to Monaco who is a true dramatic tenor or Corelli who is a spinto-dramatic tenor, you’ll clearly see the difference.
Tenors should be legally barred from continuing singing in the same night once they finish this aria, for their own good. "But this happens on Act 1!!" Exactly.

MusicalMike Right, I hear completely different voices. Really, it was unusual that Pavarotti navigated so many genres. His voice was heavier for sure.
We do!
Them High C’s tho. He nails ‘em!
Who he is? He is a pop singer, with no technique, no tone, no squillo.
@@mogmason6920 He nails 'em? He shouts them, in his nasal toneless little voice.
J D Flores brought the Royal opera house DOWN when I attended the opera.
The audience broke into such ovation ( clapping and tapping ) I sensed the vibrations of the theatre.

C'est vrai.
I love Juan Diego Flórez! (I first heard him sing "Granada" years ago. I've adored him ever since!)
Yes, that's where I first ran into him, singing Granada.
He's a pop singer.
@@xxsaruman82xx87 And your credentials are?
I was blessed with the opportunity to see him in this opera. Breathtaking.
I was living in NYC and had a standing room ticket for this opera. The Met management allowed the second encore since the war.

I never tire of listening to JDF sing this his voice is exquisite just exquisite
Fenomenal ! Great singing, great acting skills, great in every way !
He’s just wonderful with the ability to add character and dense beauty to ALL he sings in all branches of the tenor literature and history---- Hurray!
He is by far my favourite tenor! Hope to hear him live again in something at the ROH in the near future.
He's going to sing La Boheme
@@johnboy8576 Yes, I saw his role debut as Rodolfo at the Zurich Opera House in March 2020, it was lovely! The ROH production is probably going to be even nicer!
Did you heard him singing and play the guitar. Beautiful person
No pues no conoces nada. 🤷🏻♂️
J.D es my favorite tenor too
1:28 that one guy on the right is really feeling the groove of the music haha xD
Haha I catched him lol
He's just like me haha

So vibrant and active

Pavarotti was nowhere near dramatic. He was a VERY lyric tenor. He didn't have the weight in his high notes and not enough darkness in them.
In his later career, he ruined his voice trying to sing heavier roles.
Don't forget to watch it in ×1.75 speed
Brutal! en el mejor sentido de la palabra, aunque siempre se hechade menos la poesía de la voz de Luciano!

Tiger Lee jr hey juan Diego Flórez is the best our Time, villazon's voice is out of Form and Kaufmann Sounds like a baritone
wtf Florez is known since the end of 90's .. is not a new tenor
