Greatest Notes from the Greatest Tenors

Back


My assembly of what and whom I find to be the greatest higher-register notes of the tenors of the 20th and early 21st centuries. This compilation is just MY opinion; mean comments will be deleted and their authors will be blocked. --------------------------------------- 1.) An exhilarating A4 by Plácido Domingo in the zarzuela aria "No puede ser" from "La tabernera del puerto" by Pablo Sorozábal. In my opinion, Domingo is the undisputed king of the A's. 2.) A wonderfully colored Bb4 by Roberto Alagna in "Pourquoi me réveiller?" from "Werther" by Jules Massenet. 3.) Plácido Domingo sings a glorious Bb4 in "Recondita armonia" from "Tosca" by Giacomo Puccini. 4.) Franco Corelli sings an extremely dramatic B4 in "Nessun dorma" from "Turandot" by Giacomo Puccini. The most explosive B I've ever heard. 5.) Luciano Pavarotti belts a resonant B4 in "La donna è mobile" from "Rigoletto" by Giuseppe Verdi. 6.) José Carreras sings an amazingly beautiful B4, also in "Nessun dorma." His voice isn't particularly suited for this role, but this B is perhaps my favorite B ever. The warmth of the note is just amazing. 7.) Jussi Björling gives one of his perfect C5's in "Che gelida manina" from "La bohème" by Giacomo Puccini. 8.) Plácido Domingo sings a short but perfectly placed and very taut C5 in "Salut, demeure" from "Faust" by Charles Gounod. 9.) Andrea Bocelli sings one of the most longly sustained, perfectly placed, and downright thrilling C5's I've ever heard in "Di quella pira" from "Il trovatore" by Giuseppe Verdi. 10.) Franco Corelli once again produces an explosive and dazzling note, this time a C5 in a lowered version of "A te, o cara" from "I puritani" by Vicenzo Bellini. 11.) Mario Lanza gives a passionate C#5 in "Granada" by Agustín Lara. 12.) Luciano Pavarotti produces a brilliant C#5 in "Vieni fra questa braccia" from "I puritani" by Vicenzo Bellini. 13.) Juan Diego Flórez sings a perfectly placed C#5 in "Pour me rapprocher" from "La fille du régiment" by Gaetano Donizetti. 14.) Luciano Pavarotti gives an impressive D5 in "Possente amor mi chiama" from "Rigoletto" by Verdi. 15.) Alfredo Kraus gives an even better D5, also from "Possente amor mi chiama." 16.) Nicolai Gedda produces one of the most dazzling notes I've ever heard, a D5 in "Ronde du postillion" from "Le postillon de Lonjumeau" by Adolphe Adam. 17.) Alfredo Kraus produces a C5 and then a short but beautiful Eb5 in "O muto asil" from "Wilhelm Tell" by Gioachino Rossini. 18.) Juan Diego Flórez gives forth a totally stunning Eb5 in "All'udir del padre afflitto" from "Bianca e Fernando" by Vicenzo Bellini.
