This is a rehearsal and only one take. Mr Kaufmann, like any other tenor who wants to preserve his voice, not just for the recording session but for longevity, will want to pace himself. There can be no doubt that he is more than capable of issuing the ringing high C of 'La Speranza' anytime he wishes. You only have to hear the power and tone of his 'Chi Son!' to know he possesses all the attributes to do this comfortably. High Cs are thrilling but middle and lower notes are also vital and Jonas Kaufmann colours all these quite beautifully with his unusually rich and dark timbre.
Our son did that for a NATS competition this past weekend and was also able to hit the high C easily. It's quite powerful. th-cam.com/video/DmKmL16_i78/w-d-xo.html
Vous savez ce qu’est un « legato » ?! Il ne chante pas, il aboie. Son timbre est Wagnérien mais il massacre la musique italienne 💚🤍❤️ Inversement, Roberto Alagna dans Lohengrin est ridicule 😊
I always cosidered Roberto Alagna to have been the best in rendering this magnificently beautiful aria. Jonas Kaufmann is right up there with Alagna. Superb rendition.👏
Merveilleux interprète : puissance vocale, sensibilité, profondeur et émotion, très belle technique. Je ne vois pas pourquoi certains esprits jaloux et aigris se croient obligés d’insulter Jonas Kaufmann. En attendant, merci Monsieur Kaufmann, continuez à ravir nos oreilles. ❤️❤️❤️🎶❤️❤️❤️
To be crude, hiss and boo your own selves. I don't know this piece, but it brought me to tears. Singing is not a horse race or a football game - any high 'c' can be thrown away in service of this level of artistry. Gorgeous.
First of all, it's a rehearsal, so it's understandable that he marks the highest note. Secondly, Caruso himself transposed the aria down a step because he no longer had a high C, and Puccini had no objection. Many great tenors transpose this aria down a step so that the highest note becomes B flat.
***** I stand corrected; thank you. His recording of "Salut, demeure chaste e pure," for example, contains a magnificent high C. However, his 1906 recording of "Che gelida manina" is transposed down a half step, so that the climactic high note is B natural. That does not take away from the beauty of the performance. Puccini himself authorized the transposition, and it is used frequently enough that the transposition is included in the published orchestra parts. The transposition down is only a half step, not a whole step as I erroneously wrote. You are of course right that he had a high C. (I am sometimes wrong, but I do try not to be stupid!)
10 de julho seu natalício, nova idade, nova vida, novas vitórias. DOM, talento carisma, risada lindíssima. KAUFMANN esplêndida voz e performance perfeita merecem muitos aplausos de pé sempre e por longos, longos minutos. Garotão lindíssimo, puro encantamento, alegria te amo muito , voz magnífica, melodiosa, KAUFMANN vc é tudo de bom . Bravo maestro KAUFMANN, parabéns , seus sonhos sejam todos realizados, feliz natalício Boa noite,bênçãos de DEUS.
If I die then it is with the knowledge that this is one of the finest interpretations of this piece of music......Puccini would be very happy to know that he had created a masterpiece.....I had to play it a few times it had my very soul.
ninia semira Why should a "young delicate poet" not have a masculine voice? Btw Kaufmann is more known for beeing sensitive with his roles than for beeing macho-like.
ninia semira I understand your point. But art would be dead if artists always would follow rules or traditions. So why not respect different approaches?
If you like more "masculine" voices singing light roles like Rodoldo is your right,I don't like that.For me the german recording of La Bohème with Lucia Popp and Francisco Araiza that I found in SPOTIFY is one of the best,despite is not in the original libreto's language.Klaus Florian Vogt is the best wagnerian tenor of today for me.
Everyone here complaining about no high c. HE HAS THE C. he probably didn't sing it here at the conductors request, but you can listen to other recordings of him doing this and he sings the hell out of it. that c is a godly note for him.
Then why release this version for public consumption if it is not representative of his capabilities? If it is 'Take One' then fine, but as a Promo? Hard to explain.
I agree with you ! For all those ignorant "High C-Freaks": Here's the link: ..../watch?v=6zD9nGOsWXE ! Kaufmann is singing a great High C - live and in person !
For all of u that are arguing over the high c, this is just a footage of his recording, and this is one of the few takes of the song in a roll, he is saving his voice. th-cam.com/video/kY3LPb6AZtg/w-d-xo.html. In this trailor video of his debut, he goes for it and sings the high c on 9:15. So calm the heck down and be generous to a singer who is trying to keep his instrument healthy.
Good answer ! For all those ignorant "High C-Freaks" out there: Here's another link: ..../watch?v=6zD9nGOsWXE ! Kaufmann is singing a great High C - live and in person !
I have always found utterly disrespectful to disparage the work of professionals such as Mr. Kaufmann. He might not be the best one ever, true, but he certainly does a good damn job. If all you want to hear is a high C and the same opera legends, there are plenty of recordings to consult. Myself as an amateur pianist can only imagine how much work one has to put to arrive to this level of proficiency. Even if you can do it better, have some respect and at least enjoy as much as these musicians are enjoying their art.
As an amateur pianist, there may be pianists whose technique you do not find sufficient. You may think that no matter how good they work there are still a bit overrated. The problem isn't whether or not Kaufman hits a high C. What I criticize as an amateur singer is that a singer with such bad technique (and there is a lot to be said about his technic) became such a star when excellent singers never manage to get a contract.
@@eustochium2275 you're right Kaufman is woefully less vocally prodigious than any mid tier Italian tenor was 50 years ago. Additionally even today im sure there's many more deserving tenors today. But he looks good in stage that seems to be a priority today. His throaty woofy production bad ... He needs a Mike
+Roberto Barros perhaps he knew that his voice was off this day. Or perhaps the composer asked him to do something different. He is definitely capable, but perhaps unable in THIS particular performance. Or perhaps he was rehearsing and building to a show and did not want to put extra strain on his voice. This is very wise, my sister (who is a mezzo soprano)doesn't speak the day of a concert. There are many reason why.
+Redeem the Nation ...more like he just can't sing Puccini very well, I found his Nessun Dorma far too stiff and heavy sounding. There's no sweet lightness in his tonality at all, I respect Kaufmann alot. He is very versatile in other roles and singing other composers work and is definitely amongst the best Tenors currently but I think with Puccini he found his limit.
There are many excellent recordings of this aria and each singer interpets it the way he feels it. Jonas Kaufmann has an excpetionally beautiful Spinto tenor voice and top C's are not a problem for him, but he is very careful to look after his voice,, so why sing the top C in a rehearsa ?. Perhaps more than any other tenor currently singing, Jonas has a voice which is instantly recognisable, the richness of tone of a baritone, with ringing top notes, and his ablity to "carress notes" for greater emotional impact which is rare in opera singers, a technique used more with non classic singers, no better example than Sinatra.. Much to enjoy in this recording, obviouslty some listeners are so absorbed with the top C, they have faled to listen to the rest of 4 mins 50 seconds of superb singing.
BRAVO!!!!!! Amazing Performance!! As for the naysayers regarding the C, I have no doubt it was your choice, not ability that made the decision! You are amazing to listen to sir! Thank you for your art!!!
DIVINE VOICE !!! DIVINE MUSICIANS !!! DIVINE Maestro !!! THANK You ENDLESS FOR The BIG PLEASURE !!! GOD BLESS You Dear Jonas, Dear MUSICIANS, Dear Maestro !!! GOD BLESS The Your DIVINE TALENTS !!! With love Your eternal fan Nadya Mirkova from Bulgaria !!!
People who are complaining about the high C are displaying extreme ignorance (imagine such a thing online!) Not sure why Decca decided to replace the original version (which contained the high C) with this one . . . but it hardly matters. I've seen La Bohème three times: Carreras (year he made his Met debut), Pavarotti, and Domingo. This ranks up there with all three of them (and might surpass at least one of them LOL). If you have no idea what you're talking about, please go away.
Very nice clip, thanks. It shows how arias are recorded in our days: difficult parts are recorded separately and mounted afterwards. Unfortunately, the singers cannot perform the same tricks in the theatre, and they have to get more help from electronics.
+AfroPoli If you'e talking about the high C, he never had the intention of singing it. He waived to that unnecessary embellishment after giving a superb rendition of Puccini. This is the one and final version you'll hear in the disc.
+AfroPoli Only: he can do it live. And does, daily, with astounding technical bravoura. (This is a fact, by the way, no matter what your personal tastes regarding a singer´s voice material and technical choices may be: whatever Kaufmann is doing, he obviously worked hard on it and it is obviously working for him.) He seems quite confident and hence doesn ´t need to boast, to prove to himself that he can cope with the technical difficulties of his trade, every minute of every day. As for the "dishonesty" of current recordings: welcome to the 21st century, sir. By the way: the manipulation of recordings, perfecting them afterwards, has been around for quite some time. I would think that a man as obviously obsessed with perfection as you are, would be able to appreciate that...
Don't make any difference what negative comments you put up . He's up there making a fortune and you are 9 to 5 if your lucky and miserable... but he is doing what he loves so good luck to him ...Wish it was me ....
Most of these comments are at least 2 yrs old and he's still here and doing very well. I know nothing of technique ( probably why I like him, some will say) but I love his voice and his stage presence. I am and will remain a great fan.
your comment is disgusting a child looking for attention. grow up! If you must comment make it intelligent and constructive. No one can please every one. so get your head and mouth out of the gutter or go away. you are totally offensive. I just wonder if you speak to your parents, grandparents, children, siblings or significant other in this manner. They would be so ashamed.GROW UP OR GO AWAY!!!
In the recording studio, tenors often leave out the top notes, getting a good 'take' of the rest of the piece, and then splice in the high notes later, when they are fresh.... one more reason one should not compare a live performance to a studio product....
Wunderbar Jonas, ganz herrlich, mit viel Stimmfarbe und Intensität. Die Stimme wird immer besser und die Einfuehlsamkeit, in die Rolle ebenfalls. TOP...🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
@@MrBillybooks Jonas Kaufmann can hit the high C... he does it in the official recording. He also did it in a live recording that you can find on TH-cam. And he has hit many high Cs in all the other operas that have them. So he is obviously able to hit it. And he can do a very controlled diminuendo with the high C (did it in faust Gounod) so that shows that he is very capable. I'm not sure why he didn't do it in this one, but that hardly matters. It is one small, albeit important, part on the whole aria. He did the rest of the aria so excellently and with such color that one should still be able to enjoy this recording. I do not accuse you of only liking opera for the high notes, but if that is the case, you have a long ways to go in classical music. Very much worth it in the end though; it is an acquired taste, I would say.
I could listen to him all day. Awesome

lol comparing this shit to Caruso
Even Pavarotti frequently sang it in G major, making the high note a b-natural.
retrogamerdave le meilleur pour che gelida manina et pour l eternite restera luciano pavarotti
pavarotti etait 10 fois meilleur que les tenors d aujour d hui dont j kaufmann

Intelligent phrasing and absolutely beautiful, masculine sound that many other tenors -- I won't name names -- never achieved.
Rodolfo in La Bohème is a young and delicate poet,not a macho man like Otello.
ninia semira Why should a "young delicate poet" not have a masculine voice?
Btw Kaufmann is more known for beeing sensitive with his roles than for beeing macho-like.
This role is not for spinto or dramatic tenors like Kaufmann,it's simple.
