I miss Sherrill Milnes so much...what a star! The way he uses his hands in elegant gestures. That's from a theatrical tradition that goes back hundreds of years.

I saw a program on Milnes a buncha years ago. He used to vocalize in the NYC subways when the train was coming because he said he didn't have to depend on the SOUND but rather on how his vocal equipment FELT and he knew when he was doing it right. Isn't that cool? Also saw him in a recital in the 80's. He brought his own flat-screen "stage lamp" that sat on the floor in front of him and shone up to give him good theatrical lighting. In a comic bit, he started singing some song and suddenly his accompanist, a hobbit-y sort of man, got up, ran around the upstage side of the piano while Milnes went directly to the bench and the accompanist finished the song in a funny, thin little voice while Milnes played.

Milnes with that magnificent voice. Two great artist and singers. And an absolutely beautiful production. Not like the garbage productions you see on stage now.

I saw one of these 1980 performances - 5 days after seeing the opening performance of the great Manon Lescaut with Scotto and Domingo. Tatyana Troyanos was scheduled to sing Eboli but cancelled.

How a love this duet. And Sherrill Milnes completely in tune, I think. I got to know Vasile Moldoveanu when he sang Verdi's Duca in Munich in 1976. Didn't know about his met career.

Almost in tune. But it's better than in general :).

Milnes voice is so cavernously large that tenors must have shaken in their boots being cast with them. Or directors must have chosen the cast (tenor) with this in mind. This grand scena is sung wonderfully by both Carlo and Rodrigo di Posa. The tenor has an edge because he is singing a third higher in the duet, but still. At time Milnes voice (without trying) swamps a fabulous tenor with beacoup de squillo.

MANTO REAL Vivendo os últimos anos de sua vida na solidão, no seu canto Na bela propriedade Svnta-Agat, o compositor Giuseppe Verdi Cantarolava: "Vou dormir para sempre sozinho em meu manto Real", a ária do rei Filipe, da ópera Don Carlos. Pensar no verde Da bandeira, o manto real dos brasileiros, em momento ligeiro, Na solidão das matas virgens, hoje morrendo à derrubada, que Antes a região amazônica possuía, lenda da raposa e galinheiro Que está hoje, na pandemia, aos exploradores sendo entregue. O manto real é a aura luminosa que construímos com o pensar Nos momentos felizes em doarmos amor aos necessitados sem Pensar em ser lembrados em nossa vida fluindo bem devagar. Um novo manto está sendo construído no planeta que ascende Uma oitava a mais em consciência planetária, compreendessem Todos a necessidade de ser feliz para sempre na luz que acende.

Dio, che nell'alma infondere. The best version is Domingo and Milnes. Sadly, they were only able to do it on a special show, a clip of which is around here. This is good too but not my favorite.

@Barone Vitellio Scarpia Agreed. Though Moldoveneau is great, as are Bergonzi, Labo, etc. and Carreras gave it a good stab. Domingo's recording is from 1970, when he was in most youthful voice. He is OK there, and the remainder of the cast, bar Raimondi, is excellent.

@fr.jamesjohnson1567 8 жыл бұрын

+Ellen Edgerton Because they are singing correctly with support (unlike just about everybody singing today). Opera singing is done correctly with great pressure created in the body not the throat.

@detectivefiction3701 6 жыл бұрын

Yeah, but you don't necessarily have to stand just like they're standing to "support" correctly. I think it's more likely the case that those Renaissance doublets they're wearing tend to force the body into that type of position.

I much prefer and always have many other great baritones to Milnes. His voice (after mid 70s, ) seemed manufactured., Pushed , and seemed like different productions in different parts of the scale. However I knew singers who sang with him in his youth, ( 60s and early 70s). One lady told me Milnes made a Soprano he was singing with sound like an overtone in his voice! Milnes of course had a far greater stage appearance than most baritones. I prefer vocal greats like Bonelli, protti, stracciari, Tagliabue, Merrill, JCT, even sereni (who didn't have the loudest sound). By many accounts Milnes is and was very personable. He told a voice teacher I knew, he was friendly to others in opera on the way up, because he knew on the inevitable future decline of his career he wanted others to be nice to him. Another wonderful voice teacher I knew who sang internationally (but more in comic roles)...simply said "Milnes always forced when he was younger, but later could only sing by forcing." But he obviously had a large voice with easy(even if overtly hooking into them) high notes....and a very powerful, commanding stage presence.

@@Michael-mh4vr I feel you are right, it does sound manufactured and unbalanced to me too and his acting also a bit limited. Nevertheless he does a pretty decent job overall. In this particular I find the tempo rather rushed as well. I know this scene by heart but at first hearing, I think most of it would be lost on even an Italian speaker.

Horrible barking? Ahahahahahahahah! If you meant Dmitry Hvorostovsky, then I can agree with you.
