Honestly, one can take a bath in Mattei's voice - it is so beautiful, warm, and honeyed. I like his ornamentation in the aria - some singers and conductors don't like ornaments, but it was common practice in Mozart's time.
Senz' altro! I have to "ration" my "Peter Mattei" time...or I would get no work done. The voice is just...celestial, even when he's interpreting naughty characters...the Orpheus of the Opera world.
He's so naughty! Addressing his courtship to the Queen of Sweden....her husband's very brave, haha, to haveTHAT VOICE romancing his wife!!!! All the women have dreamy little smiles on their faces....wow...what a gift...
The joke, in case anybody didn't get it, is that Mattei is ironically flirting with the princess by impersonating her husband. While singing the most honey-smooth version of Deh Vieni ever.
@@cynthiachase3427 Indeed. Based on two facts: 1. Mattei is a really funny guy, always up to some mischief 2. We have quite a chill relationship with our royalty:)
@@adamleckius2253 Do tell the stories, Adam. Peter Mattei is a world treasure but I am afraid to over praise him in case the megas work him to death as they did Pavarotti.
Deh, vieni alla finestra, O mio tesoro, Deh, vieni a consolar il pianto mio. Se neghi a me di dar qualche ristoro, Davanti agli occhi Tuoi morir vogl'io! Tu ch'hai la bocca dolce Più del miele, Tu che il zucchero porti In mezzo al core! Non esser, gioia mia, Con me crudele! Lasciati almen veder, Mio bell'amore!
Whose brilliant idea was it to have Peter Mattei sing "De Vieni" to the bride to be! The fixed smile on the face of the future groom is telling...🤣🤣Sorry, fiance, wedding's off...Peter, "andiam, andiaaam'!" 😂😂🤩🥰
@vsotosolis woooow have you really seen the first performance al La Scala? i envy you, because of your lucky. I'm going to see the same show at La Scala, on the 4th jan: i'm so excited despite it's not "la prima" (:
Jag kan inte förstå om inte folk fattade att han är bästa opera sångare från Sverige ute i stora opera husen..Svenskarna är inte opera nation,jag får alltid åka utomlands att lyssna bra opera..Kungliga operan har bara fint namn,men där finns aldrig top tenorer eller sopraner som tex. Danmark.Synd.
He is a bit naughty, but he makes Deh Vieni more romantic than "seductive" per se in this interpretation...he's still a gentleman! However, his most recent Met Opera Don G - ooh lalala!
He's got up to look like Daniel Westling--and was singing directly to Princess Victoria, who has the real Daniel Westling sitting next to her. And I believe that they had just been married earlier that day.
The mandoline player and Mattei both deliver a performance to forget. The mandoline plays a mistaken note (in the most known piece of the instrument’s repertory!) and then each one go by its side. Mattei always up and down in the placement of his truly beautiful voice, which makes it being slightly out of the exact tune many times throughout the piece. Also forgetting the traditional “cupa” voice for this piece. Not a good day for an excellent singer. How difficult is to sing Mozart…

Yeah, it's almost too beautiful. Mattei doesn't have the big, booming voice of, say, Bryn Terfel. But he has the most honey.
His voice is plenty big, he just has the further ability to control his vibrato.
@@BethDianein I'm
It's actually quite sad that improvisation has vanished from the classical music scene considering it used to basically be a requirement
Wonderful, wonderful! His voice is "dolce più che il miele"!

This is the best and most beautiful performance on UA-cam IMHO - I love the embellishments he adds in the second stanza
Cannot be said better.
@@SuperArkleo Thank you
I love his interpretation.

Captivating! Thank you for posting. This is my favorite version so far. I love Peter Mattei.

Good grief! That's remarkable. Really?

Is that partly why he is wearing glasses?
@@stefanufer608 ...and the hair...

Ett av de bästa inslagen under konserten vilket få förstod =)
Sa voix est un bout de paradis!
Deh, vieni alla finestra,
O mio tesoro,
Deh, vieni a consolar il pianto mio.
Se neghi a me di dar qualche ristoro,
Davanti agli occhi
Tuoi morir vogl'io!
Tu ch'hai la bocca dolce
Più del miele,
Tu che il zucchero porti
In mezzo al core!
Non esser, gioia mia,
Con me crudele!
Lasciati almen veder,
Mio bell'amore!

helt fantastiskt! älskar hans röst!
Den bästa av röster. 👏👏👏🎼🎶🎵🤗🤗🤗🙏🙏🙏🎼🎶
Delightful acting and interesting ornamentation with a fine and flexible voice. A charmer, this man...:)
Dommage que la camera s'arrête sur les élégants spectateurs pour nous faire rater les gestes de Peter Mattei qui fait sourire l'auditoire
Eh oui.
next dic 7, 2011, I will have the privilege to see him from the Scala at the cinema, in Don Giovanni, I'm excited!!!
This is wonderful. I will be doing this for my rectial.!!!!!!!!
11 years later, I am here to ask how your recital went!
Ma quanto è bravo, eccezionale! Sono sbalordita!
Ecco come essere portati nella quarta dimensione! Fantastico!
Che bello voce
Peter "Den Store" Mattei utklädd till den Daniel Westling. Kul! Och
vilken ljuvlig röst!!!
the bravery of high larinx. Nice!
Isn’t that just his natural singing voice! Very beautiful and controlled
Love the impersonation of the fiance - or were they married by then? Such a lovely voice.
@vsotosolis woooow

Lamentável essa interpretação assim como muitas!

👏
What made the audience laugh??
He's got up to look like Daniel Westling--and was singing directly to Princess Victoria, who has the real Daniel Westling sitting next to her. And I believe that they had just been married earlier that day.
Beth .Garfinkel It was the day before the wedding.
Challenge accepted....
han skulle avslutat med: "och allt du behöver är en vanlig TV-antenn" a'la
Boxer-Robert :P
Mai paio d'occhiali fu più accattivante...
Очень красивый баритон, но зачем так затягивать-растягивать??. Зачем столько премудростей в пении?
Sounds as though that mandolinist has some issues!
The mandoline player and Mattei both deliver a performance to forget. The mandoline plays a mistaken note (in the most known piece of the instrument’s repertory!) and then each one go by its side. Mattei always up and down in the placement of his truly beautiful voice, which makes it being slightly out of the exact tune many times throughout the piece. Also forgetting the traditional “cupa” voice for this piece. Not a good day for an excellent singer. How difficult is to sing Mozart…
Doesn't "cupa" mean dark or somber? Is it really necessary for this tongue in cheek song?
