What a joyful moment to those who saw these virtuiosi artisti singing I Puritani. Both artists had a superior belcanto technique. Their interpretation is so effortless and pure.
O Eelco vous êtes notre Dieu à nous. Merci beaucoup pour cet enregistrement sublime que je cherchais depuis longtemps et que je n'ai pas trouvé. Merci infiniment de nous faire partager la voix de Deutekom dans ces Puritains. Peut-être je me répète mais qu'est ce que la voix de Deutekom est prodigieuse!!!!!!!!! Merci encore. Fran.
Both singers excellent vocally, stylistically spot on. Obviously mike placement favors the soprano. If one listens objectively to the high D and C they seem about equally matched in volume: the two vocal colors come thru clearly. I can personally attest to the fact that 10 years after this performance Kraus's high C's were still this good. (Covent Garden, spring 1983).
Absolutely fabulous! What a great great pleasure to hear these two opera mastodonts, who I already admire for years, sing together in this great scene. I hardly dare to ask Eelco, but do you perhaps also have the the crediasi misera scene?
Mon Dieu !!! Deutekom, Kraus, Bellini : le ciel !!!! Quelle splendeur, quelle facilité, quelle émotion !!!!!!

What a perfect pairing.
My God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Sublime is not enough to describe it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lei è favolosa, fantastica anche lui in piena forma
Einer der absoluten Höhepunkte der Oper. Alfredo Kraus singt selbst in den absoluten Höhen noch mit voller Kraft. Welsch ein Ohrenschmaus Belissimo
Marvelous. Two great artists. This heals me after two hours at the gym with the piped-in rap music.
How can this have only 12,080 views? It's wonderful!
grande Cristina!!!!grande Alfredo!!!!
Adoro la seconda foto con Kraus super sorridente! :)
The Buenos Aires audience recognized a once-in-a-lifetime duet when it heard it! Wow.
Since you ask, we (I and my sister) were there at those memorable performances at the Colón Theatre in 1972

Maravillosos ambos, el ímpetu del tenor y la delicadeza femenina de la soprano amándose apasionadamente ...
I was there! Absolutly stunning! Perfekt pairing,but Cristina Deutekom has the greater voice - you can hear this!
One can only guess the heavenly sound that would have ensued if this glorious duet had been professionally recorded.
Great belcanto singing by both!
altro mondo è vero...great conduction too...
Twee vocale kunstenaars bravo
Astonishing!!! ¡¡¡Deslumbrante!!!

The audience went bezerk at the end. Wonderful combo of a large high soprano and a clean lined high tenor. The effect is quite exciting.
Alfredo con 45 años era una misil en la emisión aguda.
Bendito público del Colón de Buenos Aires....
DAS WAR NOCH OPER EINFACH GRANDIOS
Find them in LUCIA from Dallas in 1966 I think.
Absolutely fabulous! What a great great pleasure to hear these two opera mastodonts, who I already admire for years, sing together in this great scene.

MAMMA MIA!!!!! O_O"
Alfredo Kraus is the god of tenors...
In
WOW!!!
E su Bellini e sul suo incommensurabile talento,non diciamo nulla?
Incommensurabile, appunto!
Quite right: let's applaud Bellini. I much prefer Puritani to Norma.
Her voice sours effortlessly.
Wonderful Cristina Deutekom voice is sure 3 times larger than Kraus, rich in harmonics. Seems Kraus is somewhat dry in the top notes here.
No.
Yes
Existirá alguien superior a Kraus como Arturo? imposible
Gedda, undoubtedly ;)
DELICIOSO DUO
Ok, give me just a little more time to post the crediasi misera scene...promise !! not today, not tomorrow but soon. ;-)
Quando gli acuti sono delle lame. Ecco.
A due idioti non piacciono ? Saranno fan di Bocelli e della Dessay ...
o pavarotti
Pavarotti è stato un magnifico tenore .....ascoltalo in Rigoletto,boeheme,Elisir d’amore, La Fille du regiment e rimarrai colpito
WOW!!!!!!!
