+Deborah Ayache Yes, the kindest and most generous of the the great singers.

I am so glad there are people who recognize the great person who is Placido Domingo, not just as a singer but as a human being. I think I'm in love.

@an andy, you're not alone. Only a very noisy minority of whiners object to this magnificent man's talent. They are largely Operalia contest rejects (Sardus) and/or Italian futbol club fans whose team has lost again vs Real Madrid. Domingo is the greatest opera artist for all time. www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/bbcworldwide/worldwidestories/pressreleases/2008/03_march/music_magazine_domingo.shtml Paz y salud.

UppityG Livestockian that' s right 👏🏻👍🏻👌🏻💥

He may struggle up in high c and lack acrobatics as you say but that b he has is absolutely perfect and the voice just amazing

@@rojostu1 Sorry, but no! He just manages to squeeze out a strained sounding Bflat from his nose, where he seems to put all his vowels.

@@uppityglivestockian No, it's the people that actually know what they are talking about. Unfortunately, that happens to be a minority of people. This man has to be the most overrated tenor of all time. He sings through his nose and has no high notes, at least none that don't sound strained. Musically a very gifted man, but not a good tenor. He realised to late in life that he should have been a baritone like his father. Even if I compare him to tenors of today, which (mostly) do not stand up to the tenors of Domingo's era and before, i can find many, (even the ones that sound like buzzing flys) that I would rather listen to.

a la base domingo est un bariton devenu tenor dans la video il est faible sur les note haute comme a 1.22 il crie la note

D Stevens How I wish he left us with the memory of the greatest tenor of his generation, instead of lowering his rank to a third rated baritone.

Placido himself says that he is not a baritone. Even the great conductors and producers say that it is about the beauty of his voice and his magnificent interpretations that makes him unique. He sings these roles not as a baritone or as a tenor but as Placido Domingo!

bonjour,il est vrai que Domingo aura été le plus grand ténor des 50 dernières années,mais comme Baryton je ne pense pas,maintenant cela fait beaucoup de plaisir de toujours voir Domingo sur la scène même comme Baryton!!!c'est cela qui compte le plus pour ceux qui aiment Placido Domingo .

@@ininacsot exactement

je peux vous dire quille chante mal cette air domingo etait un bariton a la base devenu tenor ecouter la note a 1.22 comme elle est crie domingo a beaucoup de mal dans les hauteurs

@Esteban, si lo tiene, pero él no los dispensaría solo para callar a los llorones que nunca le gustarán. Hay ejemplos vastantes aqui en YT, lo juro. Paz y salud.

Domingo is Spanish. His French is superb. Try comparing with Corelli's one, which is just impossible to listen to.

Pienso lo mismo.

Ich bin ganz einverstanden !!!

but J.Kaufman much better than Domingo

@@jacek2256315 give me a break!

@@jacek2256315 lol🥴

Y totalmente fuera de estilo.

@@jesusmunoz2400 Je possède la version d'Alfredo krauss qui a des aigus flamboyants. Je trouve son chant froid basé principalement sur la technique . Il ne transmet pas la douleur, je préfère Domingo dont la voix chaude transmet l'émotion et nous emporte dans son personnage . A mon humble avis, c'est la version Krauss qui est démodée

@@jbvivlui4823 El canto de Domingo en esta opera es verista, como casi todo lo que canta. Esto es repertorio romántico no heroico. Domingo no es ninguna referencia en este papel.

@@jbvivlui4823 Domingo busca el efecto fácil. Kraus busca la elegancia, fraseo, medias voces, con la voz nos muestra sus emociones sin caer en la exageración.

@@jesusmunoz2400 Up to your old tricks again Domingo Bashing. When will it ever end. Your like an Hypnotic Mule, Stubborn and unrelenting. Leave the old Domingo Ball and Chain behind and be free as a bird and live joyously. There's a real world out there. Flexibility is the name of the game. I enjoy all singers, good and not so good.

@belleangele, fully agree, his Werther is nonpareil. The haunting ache he fills his voice with and the walk he does at cliff's edge of Werther's pathos is riveting. Salud.

Shame he put his voice in his nose and has no high notes. Best tenor in the world? 🤔 I don't think so

So no high C's? You have no clue, sir.

It is ludicrous to suggest that Mr. Domingo never strained to sing high notes. While some stress may be expected, claiming that ALL singers exhibit the same strain level is a gross oversimplification and a weak attempt to justify any shortcomings in his performance. Comparing high Cs sung by men to "strangling chickens" is offensive and a display of ignorance toward the vast array of vocal styles and techniques. Such a statement reeks of arrogance and a lack of understanding of the art of singing. Music is a rich tapestry of genres and expressions, and beauty is subjective. Suggesting that ALL singers have transposed and continue to do so is overgeneralization. Each singer has a unique approach, and imposing such sweeping judgments on an entire profession is sad. Accusing anyone who disagrees with your viewpoint of lying and being jealous is a petty and defensive stance. Resorting to personal attacks instead of engaging in meaningful discussions only highlights a need for more maturity and confidence in your beliefs.

Lo que hay que oír 😅😮

Hay jóvenes que vienen muy bien. Escuche la versión del joven Piero Barone que subieron por aquí, y me gusto mucho.

@Colette, why try to change the subject? Geez....

Bueno bueno!!!

Hernando Mejia Totalmente lo contrario. Kraus jugaba con el juego de intensidades vocales y la matizacion. Domingo como dicen muchos críticos lo canta casi todo monocorde. Casi siempre fuerte y no matiza. Por eso necesita exagerar en escena. Por su falta de matices.

@@marianomunoz686 Krauss maestro...Jedda Maestro...

quizás kraus? es que kraus esta por encima de el!

TheFenix888 Kraus esta considerado el mejor werther de la historia por dios. Domingo en este rol lo interpretaba como si estuviera cantado puccini. Totalmente fuera del estilo de lo q es el canto francés en repertorio romántico. Su dicción Francesa también deja mucho que desear.

@@marianomunoz686 Dice usted "Kraus esta considerado el mejor werther de la historia por dios" Yo le escuché decir a Dios que el mejor Werther fue Georges Thill.

El francés de Domingo es regular. No inventemos.

Molti anni fa. 1982 to be precise, if I am not mistaken.

I confirm "Molti anni fa" is the correct form :) 1982? Domingo was a very good tenor and you can hear he has a tenor coloratura also when he sings as baritone. P.s. la multi ani is a way to make a good wish for someone in romanian :D for example wish a happy good year etc.

Tú no terminastes ni el grado medio en sevilla y te denominas profesor de canto? Bajobaritenor.

bellini verdi Pavarotti la voz más bella de la historia. Pero el repertorio Francés y este concretamente no le iba Nada.
