OK, so they aren't Bjorling and Merrill, etc. AND Milnes was dealing with vocal cord problems, which he was trying to surmount with a softer onset -- which, in my judgment, hurt rather than helped his voice in the long run. But forget all that. These are two first-rate international opera singers. They were so then, and would be now. No tenors nor baritones of this quality today.
they sing the best version of Tosca i have ever heard, along with Leontine Price and Paul Plishka. it is amazing! and its the opera that got me completely hooked at 10 years old.
A chi critica sempre dico questo: non ascoltate solo con le orecchie, ascoltate col cuore! Questo pezzo è favoloso! Domingo e Milnes arrivano dritti al cuore!
Fantastic! Milnes=my fav baritone. Domingo=my second fav tenor (after Mario Lanza). They really caress the melody. And that exquisite melody is one of my all-time favorites. This duo should get 10 stars in a 5-star rating system!
Two greats: a low tenor and a high baritone show that their overtones are identical for the first time this gives me the shivers every time I hear these two sing this duet. It's ONE VOICE!
Isn't it amazing that they never sang the roles together at the Met - and indeed that Milnes never sang Marcello there at all? How good would it have been! At least we have this lovely moment. Thanks wansob for for sharing.
Words cannot describe how touched I was by this wonderful performance of a truly affecting duet. Domingo and Milnes both sing it beautifully and blend together just as well.
Yes I was thinking that too. I used to hear him every week introducing the Met Opera Radio Broadcast. That distinctive, seductive voice that always drew me into that week's performance. :)
A great duet! Their voices blend in such a fascinating way & their looks are splendid. Marvellous!

They have a lot of hair between the three of them!

P.S. And it's good to hear the voice of Peter Allen too. Ahh, memories! I started listening when Milton Cross was THE voice of the Met!
I've watched this clip a dozen times, and I just now noticed the typo in the subtitles, at 1:30. "My paintbrush is abomidable." It makes me giggle.
It still conveys the right sentiment for that line.
It’s like this duet sung by the Duke of Mantua and Scarpia.
mike obrien - Yeah, two beautiful villains!
Two of my favorites at the prime of their careers.
selten so ein Duett in der Perfektion, sowas kommt nicht wieder und dann der tragische Hintergrund
3 giants: Sherill, Levine and Domingo in one beautiful song! Superb!
Ismon1 -How true. All three in top form in a heartbreaking duet. How sad they never sang these roles on stage. And James Levine was superb as well.
Milness dominates Domingo a vocal level.
At 3:14 ~ 3:27, the great bariton makes me almost cry...

Que pianissimos...envidiables...
One of my favourite arias from La Boheme.
Two beautiful men making beautiful vocal music! Well, maybe that should be three men!

Un.dueto de leyenda....grande los 2...
Bendras ansamblis labai geras!
Yes, it is very wonderful :-)

Dois grandes cantores líricos cantando trecho de minha ópera favorita.Thanks for the pleasure.
very beautiful duet!
where did you get this concert?? on the Met website there isn't...
The greatest pair of voices since Jussi and Robert Merrill. Glorious. Thank you.
No, wait.
It`s a duet.
