I heard Brownlee sing this at Lyric Opera of Chicago this afternoon. The audience was so delighted with his performance that he sang the song twice! He's is magnificent.

The pianist smiling at the final high end note is priceless :D

He should be way more famous he is exceptional!!! His control is impeccable.

The cleanest sounding high c's I have ever heard!

Gah!! That final C....no pressure. Completely on a line and effortless. Wow.

My God, what a voice!

I saw him sing this at the Met in January 2012. Outstanding! (I also love the look on the Pianist's face in this clip as the end high C goes on...and on.....and on.....AND ON).

This man has a beautiful tone and amazing range. What a great high c. Definitely gifted.

His high c is great.

Love to see the pianist smiling.

Beautiful tone and vibrato, pure tone, plenty of power and control. Where have i been to not have heard of him.? Thank you for upload !🌹

I seriously just launched my phone across the room when he held that note.

The accompanist is absolutely magnificent!

Good God! Those high Cs just hang in mid-air and shine and glow and shimmer like a star!

For heaven's sake, why didn't I come across this reincarnation of all the best tenors earlier? I am deeply impressed. I hear the best and only the best of Domingo, Björling, Pavarotti in just one voice. What a warm, and yet shining, precise voice! The tempo is quite neck-breaking... But Brownlee gets through it with ease. I do envy this guy. Absolutely top-notch tenor. A. von Uri, Switzerland

Wowwwwww I'm just discovering this guy, he's reallyyyy talented. His attention to the text is wonderful!!! I speak italian, I understood every word in his "una furtiva lagrima" and I'm studying French and was able to make out alot of the text in this aria....and of course that final top C :::standing ovation::: BRAVO!!!!!!!

Wonderful. I wonder how far he would go in his career. He has a potential to attain the height of people such as Pavarotti.

Brownlee is incredible. Florez is incredible. There is room at the top for many great singers. So happy to see a new generation of young tenors emerging.

Those high notes (and the whole piece as well) were absolutely gorgeous. I could listen to him sing all day :)

I got to see him live a number of years ago... love him! I love watching a video that makes me start clapping alone in my living room, applauding furiously as an audience of one :) Brownlee has it all- the tone, the range, the looks, the charisma, the acting. He's the total package, a dream tenor for sure :)

This guy is stratospheric!!!!!! High quality talent❤️💓💜💛💚💙

Lawrence's last high note was carried so long making the pianist smile warmly and appreciatively...yes, impressive and so memorable. After Luciano's absolutely definitive version and listening to all the others on the list, Lawrence was tops with Flores and the tenor informally dressed in jeans like in front of a class, were runners up.....Great selection also starring Alfredo Kraus, still in terrific voive if looking much older....

He has to be one of the greatest tenors of all time.

Lawrence Brownlee has an amazing voice & his range, as well as his vocal clarity are both superb.

I heard Pavarotti sing this aria in 1974, in a terrible hall at C.W. Post College on Long Island. Most of his performance was (for him) relatively light pieces. He saved Ah Mes Amis for his encore, and he was spectacular. I never thought I would hear a better performance but now, 47 years later, I have. I would love to see Mr. Brownlee perform it live. When I heard Pavarotti I was with a friend and his uncle, and the uncle pointed out that Pavarotti seemed afraid, before beginning. And I think he was, a bit. I would be surprised if Pavarotti was afraid at the Met, but a recital is a more intimate performance. Clearly in this performance Mr. Brownlee was definitely not afraid. The smile as he shot his cuffs before beginning tells you that knew that he was going to hit it. I also love that moment at the end, when he is holding that last note, when Mr. Burnside smiles, ever so slightly, in recognition that he, too, is experiencing something extraordinary.

Such vocal range and power. With such ease. Lots of personality. He owns this.

Wow. I hope I get to hear Mr. Brownlee live. He is fantastic.

Just saw him in recital at Baylor last week and haven't been able to get enough! A consistent, robust sound that just makes you melt! Definitely the greatest Tenor of his time.

Bravo to all the tenors!!!

Jesus, the richness of his voice!!!! Tenors, you're shit out of luck and baritones, good luck on the booking. This guy, this man, wow.

I got goosebumps! Absolutely fantastic!

Love the smirk on the accompanists face as he hits the final last C. Great!

His voice is like mine, light lyric tenor. Smooth like butter, seems like no effort at all being put forth but the focus is like a laser. Such a satisfying voice.

what a beautiful voice.

une très grande voix qui prouve bien toute la sensibilité de ces artistes trop méconnus. IL y a une nouvelle génération qui nous donne bien du bonheur . Pour preuve le reine Elisabeth d il y a deux ou trois ans

Diego Flores is nice but Brownlee has an energy, a charisma that keeps one hooked.

It is impossible compare anybodys version of this aria to Pavarotti's but of all the other version this is without a doubt, in my opinion, the best. The top notes are crisp and perfect and the tone of his voice in phenomenal. A fantastic performance summed up by the pianists face at the end of the piece. What a final top C!

Perfect for king Opera Tenor

ES IMPECABLE ESTA PIEZA , ES ASOMBROSO EL SUPER CONTROL ABSOLUTO DE SU VOZ!!😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉 BRUTALLLLL

OMG, what incredible singing!

Мне вот просто интересно было бы взглянуть на тех людей, которые поставили дизлайки!!! Я просто в шоке!! Это сколько же в них зависти и подлости... Лоуренс Браунли вместе с Хуаном Диего Флоресом - величайшие тенора мира! Уникальные голоса!! А тут просто и придраться не к чему, даже если очень захотеть!! Великолепно, красиво, благородно, виртуозно, чисто... Нет слов!! Браво!!!!!

BRAVO !!!!!! He is on my list of "must see" opera singers for the coming season !!! It is absolutely marvelous to have such a breadth of tenors in this repertoire. Different timbres, different "feel" for the music, different deliveries, different expressiveness !!! They each give us a glimpse of true beauty !

From south Korea Amazing! I never heard this rich voice!

What a deep pleasure to listen to this singer !!!!! Braaaaaavo !

Flores has the face, charm, comprehension, and obvious talent, a master tenor...and there's certainly room at the top for several, if not many, talented tenors. Krause may now be too old to take on the roll but all the others including the talented Asian tenors were all so good...but Brownlee may be Luciano's ultimate successor for this fun and so anticipated aria.

Extraordinario tenor es Mr.Brownlee...BRAVÒ!!!!

what a warm voice, with pure top notes!

Wow, that last High C was NUTS!

this is a great example of Bel Canto singing. Very flexible (downright elastic) voice, even tone, agile. I love it. His top notes are everything you could ask for in a leggiero tenor.

Truly breath taking

I see him Thursday I'm excited :)

What can I say but wonderful singer he is Mr brownlee

Still Amazing!!

유투브 최고 테너를 찾다가.. 깜짝 놀랐습니다. 오늘밤 잠을 제대로 잘지.?...할 말을 잃었습니다.

I was just told he's my cousin. 0__o

Fantastic. I had the pleasure to listen to him in Kurhaus in Wiesbaden. He sung together with Irina Peretjatko

Gorgeous sound.

Brilliant !!! thanks !!!

I LOVE Mr. Brownlee! He is the best out there today IMO! He is so charismatic, his voice so warm and agile. He makes it seem so easy and effortless! I hope to see much, much more of him in the near future!! Bravissimo!

BRAVO!!!!

The greatest tenor right now in my opinion.

Brownlee has a great unique style. I like this version very much.

No lo conocía! Me encantó su voz, su potencia! Y el tiempo que sostiene esa nota. Cielos! Es admirable! 🥂

Amazing!!!!!!!!

Listen to the last high C and listen to the overtone G and tell me it doesn’t sound like Dream On.

Outstanding, right up there with Diego-Florez version. Lawrence Brownlee is a real modern-day maestro!

Bravo!!!!!! BRAVO!!!!!

DAMN. That was fantastic

Phenomenal. Has Pavarotti tones with perfect control
