    I had the privilege of seeing this man sing Polione at the Met in October 2017. His sound reminds me of Bjoerling and so does his musicianship. He is a fine artist and a friendly, kind hearted man who talked with me after Norma at the Met. One of the finest tenors around today.

    I first heard Josef Calleja singing this, thanks to UA-cam, in 2012. It was definitely one of the all-time great performances of Nessun Dorma and I was instantly a fan. Three or four years later, I was sitting on a bench in the English Garden in Munich and an unshaven character in a track suit came ambling past. I didn't think much about it until he was about fifty yards past, when I suddenly thought I know that face. It was too late to go running after him but I sent him a message on Twitter the following evening, explaining that if I had caught up with him, I would have told him what a fine singer he was. He re-tweeted my message in what must have been the interval of his performance at the Bayerische Staatsoper.

    • @Knightoftheorient
      @Knightoftheorient 7 років тому +5

      Sorry to disagree with you, it's a decent enough version don't get me wrong but it's far from the best version. He cuts several notes off and rushes upto the big finale to gather his breath, Pavarotti made it look and sound effortless sung in a higher timbre and held the power notes for longer and in my opinion his version remains the benchmark.

    • @moorfan1
      @moorfan1 7 років тому +1

      And Luciano was singing those "benchmark" versions between the ages of 45 and 55. Wait till Calleja gets to that age. If you were in your early 30's and headlining Last Night of the Proms you would be nervous too...

    • @Knightoftheorient

    I was lucky to be at the 2012 Last Night "promming" some 15 ft away, so witnessed this performance live. Believe me he can sing, and more than that he has charisma and charm. He's not Pavarotti; he's Joseph Calleja. He can never be anything else., which is just how it should be. As for those lecturing types with opinions on purity and credibility, as far as I know, Calleja never had to duet with Simon Le Bon, as the Big man did. Celebrate difference, not bitterness

    I agree with you, Mr. Smart. And your knowledge of Classical music - Bell canto- are higher of mine, sure. But let me say you. Music is anything alive. So, we must give thanks God because new players, singers are increasing the list of names. Probably, we'll need many years until appears another Mr. Pavarotti. But, while, I think we, all, must respect for all those concert performers and singers. Because life is very sad in very locations in the world or seeing it through a computer screen. All who can enjoy of Classical music or Bell Canto performance in life will be supporting to those musicians.
    Joseph Calleja is alive and unfortunately Pavarotti died. Y como dicen en mi tierra "El muerto al hoyo, y el vivo al bollo". Translate it, please.
