Carlos, for me, is the greatest baritone ever! There has never been a dark voiced male singer who thrilled me as he does! Not even Samuel Ramey used to do it. I got very very pleased whenever I listen to Carlos Álvarez singing!
Carlos Alvarez, es sin duda uno de los mejores Baritones del mundo, por no decir el mejor, en esta interpretación del toreador de Carmen, es el mejor con gran diferencia, Bravo Carlos eres un Maestro!
por si alguien de habla no hispana no me entiende ... Carlos Alvarez is one of the most important Baritons of world, he is really incredible singer and elegant on stage, he is great! thank you Carlos you are the best!
versión insuperable!!!!!!! que increíble es Carlos Alvarez! a mi parecer es un gran Baritono y un gran artista, con un talento extraordinario, además tanto a nivel vocal, como interpretativo canta este torador como nadie, Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!
Carlos Alvarez es andaluz, y nos muestra el auténtico espíritu del arte de el sur de Espana, el temperamento, la pasión, incredible tanlento! es normal que ningún otro Baritono pueda cantar de esta forma este rol.
There was a time when I was the only one who knew about Alvarez. I used to tell people that the greatest living drammatic baritone was Carlos Alvarez. To which they would always respond, "Who?". I would tell them about Domingo's protogee who could only be heard filling in the duets on a basso recital album. Alas the word is out. Everyone now knows. A voice for the ages.
Magnificent performance, from a magnificent Baritone. Such a strong, commanding, edgey voice. In my opinion the archetypical Verdi-baritone voice without trying to be to stereotypical. He possesses copious amounts of squillo, cut, ring etc. (whatever you want to call it), cutting through the orchestra with ease.
Joder Carlos, como cambia la situación de estar en mi salón charlando a estar en los grandes escenarios del mundo triunfando! jaja Un saludo, tu amigo Aarón.
Sobre todo, es un hombre noble. Es muy grande, con un físico tremendo, y a primera vista, transmite mucha confianza. No sé, es un tipo genial la verdad, es muy amigo de mi madre, y lo suelo ver aquí en Sevilla, en mi casa, cuando descansa de tanta gira mundial. Sin dudo, un tipo grandioso.
For a low bari he can hit those f's really well. I can't imagine having the right voice to sing Largo Factotum though...it doesn't seem lyric enough. What an amazing instrument he has.
This is superb singing. I suspect he is more bass-baritone, but it would not surprise me if he started singing di Luna. If he could do that would shortly be at the Met.
I love Carmen for its brilliant story held together by perfect music and lyrics. The dissection of vocal technique is what gives opera a bad name. This was the pop music of its day. Bizet was never stuffy about it so why 134 years later is it ok.
no lo creo Alvarez la canta canta con gallardia,con excelente tecnica no le falta respiracion como a dimitri.ademas la gallardia taurina Alvarez la lleva en la sangre,dimitri no.
Great voice, although his pronunciation could be better (jusques, gens...). And that high note is sometimes a little unsure, but any baritone knows the difficulty of singing that note perfectly. Of course, great baritones should do it right.....Most of the time he does.
Well that one's easy, he is as much one of the best baritones of the world as I'm retarded. Unless you think that I'm retarded because you say so, in which case he is one of the best baritones of the world because you say so. And who are you?

Great technique !! Bravo!!!!

Magnificent voice! I would call him the successor to Samuel Ramey as the greatest baritone-bass in the world today.
That final note was STUPENDA!!!!
beautiful singing Carlos Alvarez..
Elegance, Voice, style,Charisma
all combined.
I didn't know him. He's great!!
Este tipo si que es grande
grande carlos alvarez .........

No one seems to be able to hear the electronic enhancement that give the squillo a very metallic edge to it. As well as the triangle.
bravooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Supremo!!! No se molesten en imaginar mejor...pues nno lo hay.
Beautiful!******** LONA :)
@NIKOFIGAROS por que echarlo de menos, aun no muere... o como???
This is how a baritone is supposed to sound! Just heard him live last night and this is no microphone wonder voice. Loud with squillo to burn!
Como sea... así se canta!
Orgullo malagueño
how can anzone even compare this great artist with barking Hvorotovsky...!
Malaga, Spain
The microphone doesn't hurt
This is superb singing. I suspect he is more bass-baritone, but it would not surprise me if he started singing di Luna. If he could do that would shortly be at the Met.

But Carlos Alvarez can hurt any microphone with his magnificent voice
Would you care to provide some analysis into what "the problem" is?

Alvarez is great.Dimitri H.Isn't convincing in this aria,he sound too"russian" for a toreador,it seems funny,not to say ridiculous.
well sung.... but home boy looks like he's try'n not to poop pants the whole time
Nasal!
I hate the orchestra in this version..... And his singing is certainly not the best you can find on youtube.... Nevertheless, quite good.
good, good, good. but i bloody hate the orchestra. sorry.
This guy abuses his voice, and his face looks like he is on fire most of the time. Pretty bad!
