It's much more fun for the audience when singers of this caliber recognize and embrace the original intention of this music: it was a gladiatorial competition engineered to engage and transport.
Bravo, bravissimo Gioacchino! And with the two best tenors of the moment, obviously enjoying themselves as well - astounding - just doesn't get much better than this.
1:05 Amazing High C and High D(Brownlee) 2:17 Amazing High C Sharp and E-Flat(Spyres) 3:40 D-Flat(Spyres)+ For me the Best is Spyres but both sounds great!
@@Bulacio_Elias and if you notice how many open strings are used in the violins right behind the tenors, you'll see that my ear is correct, and that the duet is in C Major, with c's and d's as the top notes.
First of all, the sound on the recording doesn’t do justice to either voice-there are certainly examples of these singers which shows off their voices much better than here. Second, in sooooo many of these recordings, male or female, commenters are often OBSSESSED with what kind of voice he is or she is. What’s with that? And comparing opera voices with pop voices. I don’t get that either. It’s comparing apples and oranges, don’t you think?
C. Saint-Saëns Good point. I’ve sung (choir) and played classical music my entire life and have recently been studying classical solo singing, so I find people’s different takes on who has what voice equally fascinating and infuriating. With all the yammering that they do, I wonder if some of the commenters actually know what it feels like physically to sing an aria, for example. Anyway, that’s all I know. 🙂
Well, if people enjoy half-falsetto, nasal tenor voices with caprino and no squillo, it's up to them. These singers would be booed off stage 100 years ago, when people knew the sound of a free, declamatory voice.
@@celibidache1000 Bless your heart, you have no idea how voices sounded 100 years ago. There are recordings, but recordings in 1920 certainly do not show the true sound of voices like today's recordings do.
@@alicenelson8615 Have i ever stated that I know exactly how a singer sounded based recordings from the 1920? (let's see if you are honest enough to answer without being a condescending a*****e)
When Rocky was in high school, our voice teacher Renata told him to lay on the floor and lift his father's bowling ball straight up over his head - 10 times with each arm - and then increase the reps His chest went from 36 to 46 over a number of years -- amazing support and agility. (I may be slightly off on the numbers, but I guarantee they are close -- this a story I was told about 45 years ago...lolol) 😎😎😎
Barone Vitellio Scarpia is exactly right. I see Spyres as a kind of goofy guy with a weird voice he likes to play around with. Nothing very serious artistically going on with him. (It’s always nice to see Larry Brownlee, who I sang with several times at the very start of his career. Did well for himself, didn’t he?)
Mention Corelli in the post with Rossinian singing is means that once understand nothing in opera singing, performing styles and opera art itself, but know only "brand" opera voices. If you like wright about Corelli who never sung Verdi's Otello in the posts with Verdi's Otello, not Rossini's as in this case. In the time of Rossini Corelli was meant as a shouting monster by the way. So, thinking first, read something about the histoty of opera and evolution of performing technique and only then post your comments. Gosh, what a pity...
This is the best bromance in opera ever

These geniuses with Javier Camarena must give the closing concert of the Qatar 2022 World Cup. The New Three Tenors, Bravooo!!!
Bravo, bravissimo Gioacchino! And with the two best tenors of the moment, obviously enjoying themselves as well - astounding - just doesn't get much better than this.

Não me canso de ouvi-los... Magníficos!
Amazing Michael
Excelente tenor ligero y excelente baritenor.
Eu queria estar presente nesse dia...
Loved it!
Amazing!
Spyres 💕💕
I know opera singers rarely use mics. But this could have used them,I would have enjoyed this more.
Special Bravi Tutti. Thanks.
“I see your octave leap, and raise you another octave” - said nobody, ever, except these guys
Brownlee sounds like like a leggiero tenor and Spyres sounds like a lyric tenor. Both have beautiful voices.
Bravi! My only question/comment is why is Spyres tailess? That is without tails, tux, frac.... whatever? Is the new asthetic alternative to black tie?
Because *that* is how he chose to dress...lol
🤪🤪🤪

1:05 Amazing High C and High D(Brownlee)
2:17 Amazing High C Sharp and E-Flat(Spyres)
3:40 D-Flat(Spyres)+
For me the Best is Spyres but both sounds great!
Spyres does a C and D around 2:17, just like Brownlee. 3:40 is also a C.
@@JameSongMaker actually no, if You check it with a vocal pitch monitor You Will see
@@Bulacio_Elias and if you notice how many open strings are used in the violins right behind the tenors, you'll see that my ear is correct, and that the duet is in C Major, with c's and d's as the top notes.
@@JameSongMaker then spyres is out of tune

Armchair singologists have been feeding their boredom into youtube comments since decades, it's annoying but it's great too.

The perks of having a larger chest, eh Michael 😉 wow!

@@biancacastafiore8760
How do you explain your bizarre taste?
You Don't
It's unfortunate for you.
Try education ....

@@rugby8-Philadelphia I’m sorry, I cannot have a conversation with ignorant, uneducated and rude riffraff

Spyres is triggered 😂😂😂
Spyres is a Baritone, it's all in the timbre of the voice, high notes or no high notes.
Bad sound quality 👎

(It’s always nice to see Larry Brownlee, who I sang with several times at the very start of his career. Did well for himself, didn’t he?)
You are Incredibly off base....or Jealous perhaps?
Lolololol
there is nothing more annoying to see then two " mosquito voice" - tenors - trying to sound like Franco Corelli
Please, listen to wonderful Corelli and get annoyed being here
@@nattie-k8380 sorry for hurt your feelings
