I grew up with Plácido Domingo and Dimash is my favorite singer now. To see them sing together was my emotional meltdown. Not only Dimash’s dream came true but mine too. I love your reactions. Thank you!

👉 The world stands still for this moment and everyone holds their breath. A singing teacher calls them the two musical titans...yes, yes, yes! This duet was Dimash's dream and it is coming true. What an honor for our beloved Dimash and a great joy for Maestro Domingo…. And I was bathed in tears of joy. I'm sooo happy. Dimash was asked to participate as a judge in the Young Classical Musicians Competition... and then... he gifted us Dears with this wonderful jewel. Maestro Domingo invited Dimash to sing the duet with him the day before. Dimash only had a short night to learn this song in French... and what's more, Dimash had a cold with a cough. (You notice it more in the second song at the end of the concert.) Dimash is well-mannered and respectful. He would never overpower Maestro Domingo (still 82 at this point) with his voice. He even adjusts with the color of his voice. Dimash opens a new world to many Dears... the world of classical music. You should definitely watch the video (look at the end of the comment)... so many young, talented musicians and the sensitive assessment of the jurors... Great!!! ... and the legendary duet of Maestro Domingo and Dimash Qudaibergen! * Plácido Domingo (*1941 Madrid/Spain) is already a legend today. He is a world-renowned, versatile artist and is considered one of the best and most influential singers in opera history, with more than 150 roles and over 4,000 performances celebrated by audiences on stages around the world. He sings tenor and baritone and was one of the three tenors with Carreras and Pavarotti in the 90s. Maestro Domingo is also a conductor and promoter of young talent, winner of 12 Grammy Awards and recipient of honorary degrees and awards for his humanitarian work.

I don’t know if this is true but one reactor says that A) Domingo asked Dimash to do this one day before the concert, and they had one single rehearsal, and B) Dimash had the flu when he did this. If true it’s even more crazy how good this sounds.

Wow!!! Bravo!!! Perfect duet Dimash with Maestro Placido Domingo. Love your reactions, Cedric. The harmony, the power and respect and artistry. Legendary. Another dream come true for Dimash. Placido is more equivalent to Dimash's grandfather's age. His beloved grandfather past away June of 2023. I caught a video of when Placido and Dimash met for this Virtuoso judging event. Placido was so excited when he recognized Dimash, and told Dimash his grandson follows him. Then of course Dimash told Placido how it's such a huge honor for him to work with the maestro, because when he was 5 years old, he saw and listened to the 3 tenors and he said to Placido, "I came to music because of you" Only love and respect for Dimash. Dear from PA USA🥰

This was a dream come true for Dimash. He shared that, at the age of 5, he had a VHC of a concert of Maestro Domingo and dreamed from that time to meet and work with him. I am sure Dimash appreciated the opportunity to be a judge on the Virtuoso program to support young classical artists at the invitation of Maestro Domingo. We hope all Dimash's dreams come true and we will be here to support him.

Седрик, Вы такой красивый! С удовольствием посмотрю сериал с Вашим участием!! Спасибо за Димаша!! Шикарное выступление 2 Гениев музыки!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Седерик, вы безконечно милый, умный, интеллигентный, глубокий, мегафантастический реакционер, я люблю вас, вашу потрясающую улыбку и бездонные глаза❤❤❤❤❤

This was indeed a gift to us and the world. Remember Cedric you are also a gift to us. Another fabulous masterclass. Love you dearly!!

Hello from France 😊 Duo magnifique et magique de Dimash avec Placido Domingo, légende vivante de l’opéra 😊 opéra, le pêcheur de perles. de Bizet. Et pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas, on lui doit le fameux opéra "Carmen" 😊

Седрик , я услышала от тебя то , чего так даано хотела услышать , я очень дорожу твоим мнением и восхищаюсь твоей оценкой , да , у них был только один день , к тому же Димаш сильно кашлял , но как можно было отказать своему кумиру , он сказал , что познакомился с творсеством маэстро в 5 лет и пошел в музыку , находясь в глубоком впечатлении от голоса Доминго , Димаш всегда относится с уважением к партнерам по сцене , никогда не демонстрируя своих возможностей , ты , как профи почувствовал то трепетное отношение друг к другу певцов , Димаш подстраивался под голос Маэстро , но некоторыми , якобы оперными певцами , это воспринялось , как Димаш не дотянул , как же они обрадовались --- Акелло промахнулся и давай подвергать критике Димаша , досталось и самому маэстро .какая чушь Огромное спасибо за реакцию , за такой эмоциональный и грамотный отзыв . Димашу , как талантливому музыканту , достаточно порепетировать с партнером даже по видео .

Спасибо за реакцию, приятно видеть и слышать Вас, какое счастье что мы можем слышать и видеть этот дуэт,это было великолепно,браво Доминго,браво Димаш, так мечтала чтобы Димаш спел с мэтрами оперы и вот великий Пласидо и наш любимый артист на высоте и просто очаровал

Dimash is a master at matching his vocals & his vibrato with his singing partner. We have seen this in a number of his duets. He is also a very generous partner in that he never tries to overpower a partner. He is a master! Thank you 😊🙏💞

Thank you Cedric! Dimash is a chameleon, and looks different with each song. He becomes the song. This performance is wonderful. Placido (now 83) asks Dimash (will be 30 in May) the day before to do a duet with him! They had one practice. The Virtuoso show is incredible and you would enjoy seeing it! It is in 2 parts and shows very talented and dedicated young people singing and playing instruments. Dimash and Placido were judges. It is great to see your reaction and hear your take on what is going on with their singing and voices. Dimash is wonderful in duets. He is very attentive to whoever he is singing with at the time. He never overpowers, but is all about the song and the duet.

Beautiful perfect harmony of bothe Placido Domingo and Dimash. It’s dream come true for Dimash as he is a great admirer of the elder tenor. Love it.

Thank you for another wonderful reaction! You always present eloquent and educated information with your reaction videos. This is certainly an epic performance by two of the greatest voices ever! I am sure Pavarotti was smiling down from Heaven during this performance! And, yes, this is one Dimash's childhood dreams come true. 🎶♥️🎶♥️🎶♥️

Thanks much, Cedric, for reacting to this song 🙏🙏🙏 You are one of my favourite reactor to Dimash's music and artistry...of course, this one is doubly beautiful with maestro Placido Domingo sharing the stage with Dimash 😍🎼🤩 As some other commenters have already mentioned...can you believe it??? Dimash practised this song for only one day and they rehearsed together only once before this performance...it's mindboggling❣❣❣

Placido did tell Dimash that he had lost his top notes with age, so it's also natural that he would sing the lower parts. He did that magnificently. Dimash is the one in the duo with the ringing tenor voice at this moment in time.

This piece has given me chills since the first time I heard it sung by Luciano Pavarotti and Marcello Giordani in the Pavarotti Plus concert in 1991. Now my dream has come true hearing Dimash and the master sing it. Thank you for taking your time to react to it! Greetings and best wishes to you from Roseburg, Oregon.

Thanks Dimash, I’m listening to opera ❤️

Thank you Cedric! It was wonderful listenning with you to this piece of art! ❤

This is a duet for a tenor and a baritone, and although they are both tenors, Domingo is doing the baritone part here because he doesn't have that high extension needed for the higher tenor parts anymore (but it's amazing he still sounds like that at his age). Actually, the tenor part is the main one here (as it is often is in operas). Just a gorgeous duet! Thank you for the beautiful reaction.

Bravo Plácido Domingo and Dimash!!!! and congratulations for you too Cedric Gegel 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

❤❤❤❤Dimash is the best in this universe! ❤❤❤❤

This is a dream come true for Dimash. He shared that, at the age of 5, he had a VHS of a concert by Maestro Domingo. He dreamed from then to now to meet and work with the Maestro. This was part of a program called Virtuosos, which supports young classical artists. Dimash was invited to be a judge on the program by Maestro Domingo. I know he appreciated the opportunity to support young artists. We are all do proud of him and hope all his dreams come true. Dimash learned this in one day and had only one rehearsal.

Thank you, Cedric. I enjoyed watching this performance with you. Wishing you success in everything you do. God bless.

Its so beautiful❤to see Dimash perform with an opera legend was on my bucket list, now i can cross that off. One happy soul here! thanks CG❤

Placido Domingo, born Jan. 21, 1941 and Dimash, born May 24, 1994 singing this classic duet on December 10, 2023. So there's 53 years between them, let that sink in for a moment. Placido's voice is still wonderful at age 82 in this clip. Maestro Placido Domingo was of course 1 of the Three Tenors (with Luciano Pavarotti and Jose Carreras). Here's a clip of him from Dimash's year of birth 1994, when he was 53: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pLhmdqyKzKuuknk.html and an undated one kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a5NxeZSFmbXJmIE.html Puccini: Tosca, "E lucevan le stelle"

Thanks for another amazing analysis of Dimash and Placido singing this beautiful song. The show they were performing this was the Virtuosos classical music competition for amazing young artists who are going to be the ones to carry on classical music in the future. It was an absolute joy to watch this show and listen to the spectacular performance by these artists. I cried during several performances . “ Heal the World “ is also a video from this same show, it’s performed by Dimash, Placido DomingoJr, Amelia Anisovych, 9 year old girl from Ukraine, and two other wonderful opera singers. If you don’t have time to make another reaction video, just go listen to this by yourself, it’s something everyone should see. Happy to know you have been busy. You’re looking very good, love to see the SMILE.🎼🎶🎤❤️😊

Many bel canto teachers have verified that Dimash brings a cross interpretation between rigid classical singing (which must follow norms and exactly as the author of the piece wrote, from the notes and durations, the portamentos, the expressiveness... Everything) and much more popular flexibility. For purists, let's remember that Dimash had the dream of singing with Plácido Domingos since he was a child and it was the Maestro himself, Don Domingos, who suggested the duet (he knew that even with classical training, Dimash would sing as a cross between classical and pop )! Dimash only had one day to remember the work and make the recording, as this moment is part of the competition (like a talent show) for children with musical talent: The “Virtuosos”! Dimash, as well as Placido Domingos, were part of the Jury, accompanied by Erika Miklósa (opera singer), Adrás Keller (violinist, conductor and musical director of the Budapest Concert), Hauser (cellist), Plácido Domingos Jr. composer), Pablo Sanz Villegas (classical guitarist), Gabriela Rachid (cultural director) and Harvey Goldsmith (music promoter)! The show was in Budapest (Hungary) from January 16th to 26th this year, 2024!

Gracias Cedric por esta reacción. Esta Performance la he visto varias veces y en todas me ha sido imposible contener las lágrimas. Me siento privilegiada de a mis 80 años, a ver tenido la oportunidad de escucharlos cantar en dúo. Ha sido magistral, soy inmensamente feliz.🌹

Спасибо за реакцию, очень приятно слушать компетентного человека. Бог дал нам такую возможность таких гениев вокала, музыки увидеть вместе. Браво Д. Пласидо, браво Димаш❤❤❤. Алматы, КАЗАХСТАН

Love your reactions. For those who didn't see it, we have something fabulous to look forward to in the next season of Virtuosos, according to a recent interview with the producer. Most know the Three Tenors....Domingo, Carreras, and Pavarotti. Next season Domingo and Dimash will be back but also joined by Carreras! I'd bet anything Dimash will be a third tenor with Domingo and Carreras for at least one song. This duet is a true masterpiece.

the fact that the great placido domingo is still performing in his 80s is a true gift to music lovers!

Hola Cedric!!!Gracias por reaccionar a éste bello dueto del maestro Plácido Domingo y nuestro querido Dimash😍Dimash y Plácido eran parte del jurado del programa Virtuosos y nos dieron éste regalo 😊Saludos para ti y todos los Dears desde Argentina!!!Éxitos en tus proyectos!!!🤗❤🇦🇷

Dimash sounded magnificent singing with the great maestro Placido who invited him to sing two days prior. Dimash had been sick & had quite a cough at the time. However, the next day they had a rehearsal & voila, their masterpiece. It was a dream for Dimash & a real joy for us Dears to see these two realize our hopes and dreams. Thank you very much Cedric. Love your reactions to Dimash. ❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦

Hi, Cedric! Yes, It was a gorgeous Duet, one of a kind. Dimash's dream come true. He always dreamed that one day he will sing, with Maestro Plácido Domingo. And that day came, when the great tenor asked Dimash to sing with him. And the result, an epic and great Duet, in the great stage of Virtuosos. Thanks for your great reaction. 🙏🙏 Lots of success for you. Greetings from Puerto Rico. 👋🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷💖

I’m amazed at the quality of this reviewers voice throughout a wide vocal range- because he has a fine voice his commentary is excellent and he understands the difficulty of Dimash’s performance. Very fine job! I’d like to hear him sing solo some time? “He gets it”

Excellent reaction. I love listening to your opinions . Good luck in everything you do .. from England xx😊

Dimash showed his greatness here. Awe inspiring. Soaring voice. I have no words for how wonderful this was. Maestro Domingo still with an amazing voice. Incredible . 🙏❤️

❤❤❤

I'm looking forward to this..and your reaction.❤

Dimash learned that in one day. Such a genius in the company of another legend. I must have watched this 50 times, so gorgeous.

What a beautiful duet by two great singers from different generation. Thank you for your nice reaction.

I have never heard anything so sublime Bravo Dimash. Splendid👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 And of course Don Plácido Domingo too. Great voices

Great reaction Cedric! 👍 This duet was stunning! The orchestra, the harmonies and maestro Domingo with Dimash, two legends together delighting the audience everywhere!!! Goosebumps … the standing ovation was really moving 🥲 so proud of our beloved Dimash 💙💛🔝🎤🥇👏👏👏👏

Buena reaction muy buena y yo emocionada como tú x ver a estos monstruos del bel canto, que dos artistas tan increíbles y el respeto de DIMASH hacia el maestro Plácido ❤, tan conmovedor..

❤❤❤❤❤🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿

Hola Cedric! Te felicito por todos tus logros y te deseo el mayor de los éxitos! Me gustan mucho tus observaciones acerca de las presentaciones de Dimash, especialmente esta junto al maestro Placido! Fue una delicia! Mil gracias por tus amables palabras hacia Dimash! Saludos desde México! Tienes unos ojos bellísimos!

Besides being 83, another disadvantage for Domingo is that he is a tenor singing the baritone part.

Good afternoon from Barcelona. Amazing this duet, song ang music. GOOSEBUMPS. 🎼❤🎼❤🎼❤🥰

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Седрик, давно Вас не видела. Потрясающе выглядите.❤ Вы так слушали П. Доминго и Димаша, мне показалось Вам хочется к ним присоединиться в трио😂. Вы так тонко и грамотно расписали свое впечатление, было интересно Вас слушать. Я желаю Вам успехов в творчестве, а мы будем ждать встречи с Вами. С уважением из России

Thank you Cedric 💖Beautiful ❤

Beautiful duet ! ❤❤

Listo para.tu reacción .. Honduras

🌹🌹🌹

Спасибо вам большое за реакцию!🤗Наш Димаш превосходен!❤Пласидо Даминго легенда!

Cedric obrigada por reagir à esse dueto que entrou pra história! Esse programa Virtuosos é incrível! Plácido Domingo e Dimash dois gênios virtuosismos cantando juntos foi magistral! Orquestra maravilhosa! 👏🏽👏👏🏿👏🏼👏🏾👏🏻🎶♥️♥️🇧🇷🇧🇷🕊🕊

You're great at pointing out details I missed. I was wondering how they did such a clean break at the end. I saw Placido looking at Dimash but missed the hand gesture while I focused on his face. Anyway, thanks for another well-done reaction. BTW, I've watched the linked episodes of The Coroner's Assistant. Quirky, funny, unpredictable and intriguing. You have an appealing presence on screen; I wish you well in your career.

Your joy was so delightful. My reactions are similar to yours. Your eyes sparkle. When music is part of your soul, it soars with the singers and music. I see that in you. I'm 75 yrs old and come from a family of singers and musicians. What a privilege to hear these 2 voices together. It's an astounding gift. Fantastic!

I heard they just rehearsed that day!

It also fits to the story of the pearl fishers duett. Friends who became adversaries over a woman and found back together as friends.

Hi, Love your reaction vids to Dimash. As you stated in your reaction to Across Endless Dimensions. Dimash is the best vocalist in the world, yes I agree. However, Taylor Swift is coming to Australia next week and will be singing in the Victorian MCG stadium. This stadium holds 100,000 people, and she expects to fill it to full capacity. And yet Dimash who is considered the best voice in the world, and who would make Taylor Swift look very ordinary if he sang next to her, can't even manage to get a mention in the latest U.S. Grammy Awards. Does the U.S. population not even know if he exists?

Love, love, love this.

Nie lubię opery ale to jest po prostu piękne ❤❤❤❤❤ dziękuję za wspaniałą reakcję 👍❤❤ proszę więcej Dimasha i tłumaczenie na polski 🙏🙏🙏

Eu concordo com você, dueto lindo, as vozes combinam perfeitamente que ficamos emocionados, duas gerações se apresentando lindamente, esse é momento lindo, e único.☺️🥰🇧🇷

SPECIAL SHOUT OUT FOR U MY FRIEND🤘🇵🇦KAZAKH PRINCE THE G.O.A.T.🤯BEYOND THE MULTIVERSE ALWAYS👽

The passing of the baton. Epic!

Couldn't wait for your reaction to this duet and you didn't disappoint. What an exemplary musical moment. Thank you for your wonderful analysis. I love Something Rotton and I'll bet you kill it as Shakespeare. Dears in the area go see this!!!

Замечательная реакция, мистер Цедрик♥️♥️♥️ Вы настоящий ценитель искусства, не испорченный современным шоу-бизнесом. Ваши реакции искренны и позитивны🤗🤗🤗 Благодарю и желаю всяческих успехов👌👍👍👍

Cedric hace tiempo que no te veía. Me encanta tener noticias tuyas y que las cosas te vayan bien . Me gusta tu expresividad. Los fragmentos que he visto de actuación., me dicen eue eres un gran actor y muy versátil. Gracias por tratar bien a Dimash . Saludos.

Lujo a los oídos

So wonderful to enjoy your insightful and fantastic reaction to this beautiful duet.🌹 That show that you are playing Shakespear does look really fun.❤ 🥰🥰Hugs from a Canadian Dear🇨🇦

Good reaction/analysis. I watched the whole Virtuso competition and much enjoyed it. Dimash was one of the judges, along with Placido Domingo, Hauser, and others. The duet wasn’t really a concert, just an interlude. Loved it.

Hello Cedric,glad u are back. Please try to catch up with Dimash, he is doing great things. Look for some performances from China last year.

Always like when you pop up! Love your reactions to Dimash.

❤

👏👍🙏🥰🌷

🥰🥰🥰🥰😊

Thanks ❤ I love yours reaction 💝

Wellcome back! Thanks for this reaction.💚💛🇧🇷

❤❤

ًWhat an amazing analysis and reaction, thank you so much!

Gracias Cedric por tu bella reacción, Dimash con mucho respeto por el maestro Domingo, no opacó con su voz de tenor al barítono, como muchas veces sucede en estos duetos, eso demuestra lo grande que es!

More than 50 years between them, but what a harmony. You can feel their mutual respect and almost tenderness to each other. Beautiful Thank you so much for such an intelligent and emotional reaction

Dimash also has a diploma in classical singing. 😘

Hermoso! ❤❤❤

I do hope you have time to react to Dimash's new vampire video. (I couldn't imagine him doing such a thing!) It just came out on Feb. 26. Although I don't like vampires or horror movies, I DO like watching others enjoy Dimash's works!

I meant to comment on Placido- one of the greats still wonderful at 82 years old- what a beautiful artistic connection we were treated to!

😍😍😍😍😍😍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤

Wonderful reaction to this great performance !! Thanks Cedric!! 👏👏👏💕💕💕😊😊😊

Рахмет сізге Қазақстаннан!🇰🇿
