Dang... how I wish I could find this on DVD. Only Domingo can make my mouth water when he sings... towering and tender... wow. Thank you so much for sharing!
That's why i said "in my opinon" Im aware that other singers would have sang it with all the vituosity that the score demands but IN MY OPINION Fassbaender Domingo and lopez-Cobos create a performance that takes you on a wild ride. It is a thrilling, raw and utterly engaging set. I really wish i had been there. Have a listen to it as a whole. Give it a chance.(without prejudice) Fassbaender is amazing as charlotte. Domingo and herself strike sparks off each other. Thanks for the comment.
I never really understood the appeal to this opera --- then I heard this. Passion worth blowing your brains out for. One can always find more 'correct' technique and style, but neither element has much to do with Werther. Electrifying.
I tried to listen for the embarassing slides into the high notes but did not hear anything that I have heard several other tenors do as well. The high notes could maybe be more ringing and free but the portamento is truly a non-issue.
soy gran admirador de domigo, pero creo que aquí su rendimiento es del todo insuficiente, estilisticamente, vocalmente, dramáticamente.... desde luego a años luz del maestro kraus, y otros muchos
Best performance? Have you read the score? Those awful slides into the high notes aren't written. For a singer praised for his musicality, his portamento was embarassing.

I will listen to this performance again, my golden standard as Werther is Kraus personally, so I'll see how Domingo's interpretation measures up.
@bodiloto Vi ringraziamo per il vostro parere

It is a great performance and mooorhe is totally ignorant. Almost all performers do the portamenti even though they are not included in the scores.
Grandissimo musicista,ma preferisco Carreras,c'è più poesia,c'è
più anima.
