- TENOR CHRIS MERRITT SINGS "NON MI LASCIARE... O MUTO ASIL DEL PIANTO... CORRIAM, VOLIAM!" FROM ROSSINI'S "GUGLIELMO TELL".
RECITAL IN MODENA, CA. 1987
THIS IS PERHAPS THE MOST UNHUMAN RECITAL YOU WILL HEAR FROM A TENOR, LOOK AT THE PROGRAM AND FIND OUT BY YOURSELF!
1) BELLINI: I PURITANI- "A TE O CARA"
2) BERLIOZ: LES TROYENS: "AH! QUAND VIENDRA L'INSTANT...EN UN DERNIERE NAUFRAGE
3) PUCCINI: LA BOHEME- "CHE GELIDA MANINA"
4) ROSSINI: GUGLIELMO TELL-
"NON MI LASCIARE... O MUTO ASIL DEL PIANTO...CORRIAM, VOLIAM" (WITH MANY C's)
5) VERDI: I DUE FOSCARI- "BREZZA DEL SUOL NATIO...DAL PIU REMOTO ESILIO...SI LO SENTO" (ORIGINAL CABALETTA WITH WRITTEN
HIGH E-FLAT)
6) DONIZETTI: ANNA BOLENA- "VIVI TU... NEL VEDER LA TUA COSTANZA" (WITH A PAIR OF C's & FINAL HIGH D)
7) DONIZETTI: L'ELISIR D'AMORE- "UNA FURTIVA LAGRIMA"
8) ROSSINI: TANCREDI- "A SEGNAR INVANO IO TENTO...PERDONATE QUESTO PIANTO" (WITH HIGH E-FLAT, DIGH D's, C's, you name it!)
9) ENCORE: DONIZETTI: LA FILLE DU REGIMENT- "POUR MON AME!" (CABALETTA, WITH IT'S 9 HIGH C'S)
THIS IS A RAVISHING RECITAL BY ONE OF THE GREATEST TENORS, RESPONSIBLE (ALONG WITH SOME OTHERS, LIKE ROCKWELL BLAKE)FOR THE RESURRECTION OF SEVERAL OPERAS UNPERFORMED FOR MORE THAN 100 YEARS. ALONG WITH THE SEVERAL DIFFERENT STYLES PRESENTED, HE EXCELS IN A REPERTOIRE MOST TENORS CAN'T EVEN DREAM OF SINGING, NOT TO MENTION SINGING THEM ALL IN ONE NIGHT. HE PRESENTED THIS SAME PROGRAM ON DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, EVEN WITH ORCHESTRA, AND EVEN A RECORDING WAS RELEASED BY BONGIOVANNI. THIS IS A TRIBUTE TO A KIND OF VOICE THAT COMES ONCE EVERY CENTURY, BUT SHAMEFULLY PASSES UNAPPRECIATED.
I love Chris Merritt - I have this recital on disc, he's an animal!
Truly a voice of the century.
Lieber Chris,ganz großartig..BRAVO !! Alles gute zu Deinem Geburtstag !!! Es war eine schöne Zeit,damals in Salzburg..wir haben einiges zusammen gesungen !! Dein Klaus.
Lucky me ! I heard his Guillaume Tell in Nice about 40 years ago ( with José van Dam & Lella Cuberli as partners !). The public became so enthusiastic (it's few to say) that he was "obliged" to sing this aria twice ! (in an opera of four hours !).👋
Impresionante.
It is unbelievably beautiful ! what a voice he's got ! thanks for the post
Amazing .... Great voice.....
Holy crap! That is one tough set! Absolutely brilliant Cs.
I'm amazed that he sings this so efortless!
Great Chris Merritt! He only, in Pavarotti hometown could be able to have the great success he deserves.
(If i think that he started singing as a bass...)
Thank you Fabiantenor for posting.
Good tenor!
MODENA 1987
¡Bravo!
Oh yeah! He owns this role.
Qué incisiva cada nota que emite. Técnica depurada por años, repertorio literalmente endemoniado de agudo y muy exigente en interpretación. Merritt, bajo perfil para el "marketing", tiene una musicalidad única, con dosis adecuadas de dramatismo cuando lo exige la música.
Great.
FABIAN! I've been watching this over and over, then saw who posted it and thought, "I wonder who this Fabian tenor guy is." Then I looked at the other videos posted and saw YOU in the Otello scenes! Haha...so funny. Where in the world did you get this? I want more Christ Merritt stuff if you have it.
great
Thanks for posting! Do you know the date of this recital?
too many cuts
CoeliLux if you see the rest of the recital you would understand why the cuts. No tenor has ever done such an unhuman program!
@@FABIANROBLESTenor Absolutely ! He used to give programs of one hour and a half completed with half an hour of encores, with all sorts of music covering four centuries. A great artist and an athlete of the voice.
