En restant sur Händel, Bach, Beethoven et Mozart qu'on appelle habituellement les quatre Grands, on oublie les trésors immenses que nous ont laissés les autres... Quelle oeuvre d'Hector Berlioz ! Quel génie vocal des interprètes !
So touching !
Herzliche Grüsse aus Kamerun.
Besten Dank !

Extraordinary! The voices of DiDonato and Spyres create the magic of love, and then Nelson brings out Berlioz’s fate and dread.

[brekkel]

Magnificent, so much love in this performance ♥️

[clairebarnett-jonesmezzo-s]

Berlioz has such satisfying vocal writing!

[josedolcefarniente]

Miserably cut! We miss more than half of the duet, only the last stanza is heard. The singing is marvellous, but, please, could you upload the whole piece? Thank you

[ransomcoates]

Who could make such a stupid cut. The introductory music to this duet is some of Berlioz’s greatest. And this is the one section where Spyres could really do well. He must have been utterly swamped at the Act I entrance.

[yannicksoprano]

Habituellement je préfère les barytons aux ténors( à l’exception de Jonas Kaufmann dont la voix est sombre et que j’ai eu la chance d’entendre déjà 8 fois) mais Michael Spyres me réconcilie avec la voix de ténor.

[utahdan]

The best is sang by Roberto Alagna and Angela Georgiou. Simply outstanding.

[fabriziogarzi]

Brava la Didonato con la voce distesa...non si capisce perche' il voler affrontare il repertorio di agilita' dove invece ci sono ben altre a cantarlo meglio. Spyres meraviglioso.

[DiomedesDioscuro]

Et avec des vraies voix d'opéra ça donne quoi ?
