Nov 18, 2008 - Yes, I have already picked out Jussi singing "Ah, fuyez douse image" from Manon for my funeral music. I will have to hear it one more time. And his Nessun Dorma can outdo anyone.

Nov 18, 2008 - So strange to hear Placido sing a Baritone role, but really lovely, nonetheless.

Nov 18, 2008 - ugh...domingo belittled to a baritone....*sigh*the other dude kinda looks like mr. bean :Dthis still sounds like two tenors are singing it

Nov 18, 2008 - There was a mistake, Villazon forgot the lyrics or something like that, Plácido helped him, but it was very notorious

Nov 18, 2008 - Superbe!! des voix uniques et chaleureuses!!

youngbassoprofundo Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - um, hate to break it to you, but Domingo started as a baritone and then expanded his range to tenor notes.

Sono1Tenore Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - yes domingo started as a baritone because no one knew he was a tenor. dramatic tenors are mistaken to be baritones at a younger age because they seem to have an already matured voice. so it seems like you're implying domingo is a raised baritone.

Sono1Tenore Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - go listen to someone like bryn terfel or samuel ramey, and listen to domingo. completely different timbre, completely different voice category.domingo does sound awesome as always, but he's not a baritone, or a raised baritone for that subject matter, and rolando villazon (lyric tenor) does look like mr. bean. domingo singing here does sound like a tenor singing in his lower register.

Sono1Tenore Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - rolando villazon...disappointing me once again.

youngbassoprofundo Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Good to know, and as for Terfel and Ramey, they're actually my two of my favorite singers so it was kind of a brain fart on my part, and to be honest I couldn't finish listening to this piece it just didn't seem to fit.

Sono1Tenore Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - its because in place of domingo should've been a baritone/bass-baritone/bass, and villazon shouldn't have screwed up like he did. terfel and ramey are awesome bass-baritones. what didnt seem to fit actually?

Nov 18, 2008 - Sweet memories ... Placido still sings the stars of the heavens !

Nov 18, 2008 - ¡¡Qué bonito!!Rolando, te amo.

bellatrix58 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Great performance!!

jawj80 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - villazon messed up in the recit. kind of embarrassing

piervonner Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Prefiero la version de roberto alagna y bryn terfel. Se me hace que rolando la embarró en una parte pero lo discimularon muy bien.

piervonner Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - noooooooooooo Rolando, bellisima voz pero te falta experiencia para subirte a un escenario con Domingo

dianevdlinden Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - What a great performance from these two tenors. Even now Domingo has grown older he still has a wonderful voice . It is obvious that Villazon will be the second Domingo! What Domingo? He is Villazon and for me he is the best the very best of the young singers!Diane v.d. Linden Netherlands

trombo8 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Great but should be sung by baritone and tenor.Villazon sings wrong text at 4.05 and rhen Domingo interrupts him singing the correct words

Vlink7 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - I think im right in saying that Red bull are using Au fond de temple saint for the Xfighters promo ad for its series soon to be shown on Dave, fantastic song works extremely well

pecabi Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - hasta los grandes se equivocan!!!Rlando adelanta un trzo del aria que deberia ser posterior, pero son gajes del oficio,bravo a los dos por sobreponerse. El pobre Plácido lo arregla como un auténtico maestro.jejeje. entrañable!

LejeuneWerther Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Amazing and very funny (look at Domingo's face when Villazón forgot to say "ta main repousse ma main!XD), really great, I think Domingo is not a bariton, hope he won't continue this way, but just for those kind of shows I think he does it very well, I am surprised!!^^
