I'm pretty sure his smile of victory at the end just extended my life by 10 years.

[kmoore]

The look on his face when he finished and the orchestra was wrapping up said it all. He absolutely nailed that performance and knew it.

[erikkeever]

When the hardest part of the aria is holding in the victory smile for 10 seconds while the orchestra plays the last bar.

[WildPhotoShooter]

The general public don't always see operatic arias as great songwriting, but this masterpiece by Puccini will be with us as long as humans walk on planet earth.

[samsilva]

Oh my god what a performance and that smile at the end is priceless.

[vpetit]

Un chanteur allemand, un orchestre britannique, une musique italienne et mon commentaire en français : tout le génie de l'Europe !

[Dasher-dygf]

What a great audience, they wait until the very end to applaud.

[michaelweston]

don't think i've ever seen a singer look as victorious as he did here when he finished singing that he will be victorious.

[thekoukikid]

Jonas Kaufmann is the greatest tenor of the modern era.

[isaacxcii]

I don't care what people say about him or his voice: his interpretation gives me goosebumps.

[LeeJCander]

His face at the end made this! Clearly someone who loves singing and performs this Aria wonderfully!

[mackindle]

The range of a tenor, with the timbre of a baritone. Totally unique - the breath control throughout is faultless, the high B at the end especially. Was privileged to be standing in the audience just metres away from him... a night I'll never forget :")

[lawrenceallen]

This man is a tenor who sings like a KING-Glorious timbre

[skeeterblanton]

I find it amazing no tenor ever had a stroke singing this.

[waterbird]

He's gorgeous and he's the best tenor I've ever heard. Where has he been all this time ? I never heard of him. What a crying shame. Why isn't he out there for the world to see? Did I mention he's gorgeous ? He's got a mouth and he knows how to use it.. A majestic voice, he's a gem, A winner in the opera world. Thumbs up, thanks for Sharing.

[jimpanzee]

The smile at the end. Yes my friend, you nailed it, drink it in.

[MultiKamil]

"I shall be victorious" You truly WERE victorious Jonas with this performance!

[caveydavey]

I just love the look of utter triumph on his face at 2:58

[oatsquares]

This is an absolutely brilliant performance of Puccini’s Nessus Dorma, such as I have never heard before! God bless you Jonas Kauffman!!! You are blessed and highly favored!!

[PapaCowboySr]

Since discovering this amazing version I can’t stop going back to see it again. Jonás Kaufman’s voice is incredible
