Just gorgeous

Carreras amazing - the best Don Carlo ever!

How can anyone with a heart give this performance a thumb-down? Carreras is sublime and the soprano is wonderful: they're supposed to be YOUNG people!!

As always Carreras here, in his prime delivers big time! What a gorgeous sound !

There was only one voice like Mr Carreras's voice. Never will there be a voice like his again and how perfectly he used that unique voice to give real meaning to opra's he sang in his prime! The best tenor ever and the most beautiful voice ever.

Carreiras qui moto bene,acevada ancora la você belíssima.Siamo nel 1977 a Salzburgo, diirigeva Karayan. La stupenda voce ed interpretazione della grande Fiama Izzo D’Amico. Grazie.

He is outstanding in every respect !

Great opera, wonderful performance, Carreras in his prime! Maybe the best Don Carlo I have seen

Spectacular Carreras! Thanks for uploading this

Merveilleux duo !

Great Carreras!!!

fantastic

Carreras! As soon as he is not singing or in the frame, I'm missing him, wanting to be transported by his voice's power and sweetness.

her acting is superb and fully conveys the meaning of the drama: Carlos loves her and is unable to contain his feelings; she tries to keep him at a distance, that's why she's so “wooden". A groan breaks through this restraint: Oh, Carlo! And the end of this wonderful duet: when Elizabeth sees that Carlos cannot be kept, and she herself is exhausted in the struggle with herself, she screams in hysterics: go, kill your father, desecrate his bed. And only these terrible words stop Carlos. Amazing psychological drawing of the role and amazing acting.

Fiamma Izzo , a mio parere, è stata una delle migliori interpreti del Don Carlos. Peccato si sia ritirata troppo presto.

Fiamma certainly had the looks to do this role and a glorious voice.......but these heavy roles at merely 22 did her in. But what a performance from Carreras!

MARAVILLOSO DUO

Carrersa is incredible 👏

Muy buenos ambos intérpretes me gustan mucho los dos ,y jóvenes ellos ,pero muy sólido y👍👍👏👏👏💞💞💓💖

outstanding

She, as the queen, is supposedly trying to control any expression of her true feelings for him. She is acting very well.

c'est superbe ,merci.

Magnifici

Oh I have just bought this on DVD it is stunning

Nice!

Jose Carreras as Dom Carlo. Opera: Don Carlo; composer: Verdi (italian version). The French version is known as Don Carlos.

I firstly came to know this aria from Callas and Di Stefano's latest records and I was left very impressed by the profundness and sadnesse presented here. It's general understand that the widely famous couple wasn't at their best moment vocally speaking very late in their career nonetheless I thought they managed to deliver such a great performance that I got in love with the duetto instantaneously and now here it's so touching and beautiful that I'm even more touched and passionated with this opera than ever, thank you

Великолепно, захватывающе!какое исполнение! Жаль только есть купюра...

Карерас в това изпълнение е изключителен. Небесен глас !!!

They have great chemistry. Carreras forces the top but it's not too exposed here, he's moving. Izzo is a hidden gem of the 80s, she's a glorious Elisabetta, the phrasing is idiomatic and her lyric soprano responds well to the spinto/dramatic demands of the role. Pity she didn't stay active longer to record a few things in studio and give us the classic Italian repertoire. She could have joined Dessi in succeeding the great Chiara, Freni, Maliponte and Ricciarelli.

IZZO SANTA!

agree entirely

Another comment, opera is a compliment of acting and singing, but before, way...way...before acting, is voice - as Verdi said...opera is the voice and only the voicce- and he was true. In an scenario you can not hardly see the singers, i mean,up to a point of seeing their acting skills, emotions, tears, jejeje. You just have to hear their voices and their voices need to say what there feelings are. When you are in a big opera house, you just need to hear the voice and what the voice its transmitting and how the voice fullfil a big theatre. Hear you say, carreras was acting...she doesn't act....common. 😅

Un buen don Carlos de verdi José carrera piero capuchili estupendo mati salmin la soprano furlaneto está ver sión con unos corte per do herbe von karajan Salzburgo con problemas con la colina dio lomejor del señor herbert von karajan Salzburgo 1986 la recomiendo DVD vídeo sony José Andrés Maza

Is this an EMI recording you're referring to?

Man kann kaum glauben, dass Izzo erst 23Jahre alt war, so wie sie singt und spielt. Sie kann mit den Größten mithalten.

What production was this?

Falta el desmayo de Carlos sobre el minuto 5 Que dice. Oh prodigio il mío cor..etc

Who is she ? What happened to her ? No biography, hardly a mention, from Google ?

what happenned with this great soprano ????

She ended up dubbing films in italy. She destroyed her voice to young, due to what ever reason. But she sang a very poor Don Carlo. And the reason is that she was too young and her voice structure was not yet developed. How can anyone say that... Well, I dont want to argue, just say, that she was not at its age to do that. And she ended up, the way she ended up. Carreras was at its best, but not her, common people. Im an old guy yet, and opera has been kiled by people who dont know shit, applaud everything.

I wondered why I'd never heard of Fiamma. Shame. Glorious voice - but the acting is very wooden next to Carreras.

She.was another victim of. Von. Kajaran? He likes to used those lyrics sopranos in. Verdi Repertoire,and in.a couple of years their voices Are gone!! I think she was one of them.

come grida carreras, poverino mi fa pena....... avrebbe potuto imparare un pò dalla izzo che canta molto bene
