I grew up in the 70s, and my mother had a record of this, with Placido. It sounds like it may even have been this recording. She listened to it a lot. And I took French when I was in high school. And so I learned some of Kleinzach by heart. I still remember some of the words and how to spell them. And so I looked it up and here it is! And yes, you are so right, Placido Domingo is the best.
Great video and AMAZING PERFORMANCE !!!!!!!!!!! Placido remains the best in this aria, ever !!
Thanks for posting and thanks Maestro !...
Thank you very much. This is my favorite aria from Les Contes d'Hoffmann. Beautiful pictures too.
