Galouzine was amazing singing this in Covent Garden in 2001!! The whole theatre almost fell down by the ovations!! Like a baritone with the high tones of a tenor and so much power in his voice!
Thank you for posting this! My favourite opera, and my favourite tenor... I was there at the performance. Do you have a video of the rest of the opera???
Good performance! But can we really call him a tenor? Too harsh for that... The best Marriinsky German for me was Alexey Steblianko ... heard him in the 80-ies... a baritone can sing high notes which doesn't make him a tenor though...
Galouzine is definitely a tenor, the problem is that since 2000 circa he started to be throaty to darken his voice, beacuse if you listened to him in the 1997's Turandot at the Orange, you could tell that he was definitely a spinto and not a dramatic tenor as he pretends to be! I like his voice, even here, but you can tell he became and is really throaty unfortunately, and that also influences his vibrato beacuse he started to be wobbly. There are also baritenori, like Ramon Vinay who had the full range of a baritone and a dramatic tenor. Usually baritones tessitura can extend to a high A, but some could event sing a B natural and even a high C. Lauri Volpi said that Franci was capable to sing an high C!
This is a true masterpiece. Thanks God, the world was given such a huge genius like Tchaikovsky.
I saw him in 1996, just coming into his fine form. Unforgettable.
