I revisited the performance today at a matinee and it was even better than the premiere. The acting was really moving - I had tears in my eyes on many occasions and I'm not that easily moved. The cast, especially Mr Bezduz and Ms Juntunen did a great job. This is a performance worth preserving.
I really liked the production; well acted and sung by Bezduz, Juntunen and Zetterström, and the orchestra under Pietro Rizzo was excellent. Mr Bezduz sings with finesse and has no problem reaching above the orchestra because of his good tecnique. I like listening to voices singing, not screaming. He has a natural flow and is a believable actor. Well done!
Bulent Bezduz Grammy Awards winner, a brilliant opera singer ( playing the role of Edgardo, Alfredo, Rodolfo ,Nemorino and Fenton ) has through his performance proved to be one of the top tenors today. The time has arrived to introduce him in North and South America's opera houses, otherwise opera audiences might be deprived of a great contemporary opera tenor, BB.
Bravo: A really clear easy tenor voice with a sweet tone. Good stage presence and easy movement. This young man could have a major career since the voice will get bigger with maturity.
A great voice, still to be worked, a great star and a hope for Puccini interpretation and for the tenors arround europe. BRAVO Bulent!!!!, beautiful timbre, the short C good and brave, young and to be followed. You already have a big group of funs in Romania. Bravo again. Look for romanian soporano Roxana Briban, you could do a great duet with her.
Sevgili Bülentciğim, Biraz önce aryalarınla birlikte yorumladığın türküyü de dinledim.Hepsi de güzeldi.Kutluyor ve kucaklıyorum. Bacanağın ve abin Hüseyin Vural
I listened to Mr. Bezduz a couple of days ago in Göteborg, Sweden, and must say that his high C was much more impressive now. Just a small, but perhaps interesting, detail.
I bit nervous throughout I thought,tenattive and short on the high C,BUT his voice is glorious and we may have a new huge star in the making.Handsome and lean-he'll be in demand!
Seems you guys have forgotten about Giuseppe Di Stefano...who Pav himself says he idolized growing up. Pav's is no doubt amazing, but I think this song is owned by Di Stefano...listen for yourself right here on youtube.
I love a lyric voice for Rodolfo. I usually hear spintos; but, lyric seems to handle this score easily enough and the timbre suits the character. If you have the old Wunderlicht recording, give it a listen and marvel how he sings the words after the high C.... just a Puccini wrote it.
Dear Rodialva! Thank you for your notice I appreciated ! Website bezduz com is dedicated to Mr Bezduz and every Bezduz fans all around the world are welcome !!! My best wishes from Montreal Gabriella
Dear Rodi Alva ! Can we (B.B.fans) rely on you to share your experience in Montpellier with us ? How did you like La Favorita (stage design ,stage director ,costume designer orchestra, and above all the performances of Bulent Bezduz and Béatrice Uria-Monzon Thank you Gabriella
Today I have noticed in the Metropolitan Opera 's schedule 2010/2011 season and I relized no one has received the role of Rodolfo (La Boheme) hmmm ... hmm ? Isn't the right time to introduce Mr.Bezduz to the New Yorkian people ???
they mentioned the name of this song in the book: lover enshirened by J.R. ward that was such a great book I had to look up this song... a hot, tough, troubled vampire man with a bad past sings this ooohh in the book I mean.
William Berger (author of Puccini without excuses ) Rodolfo : An impecunious poet.Althought nothing ever said explicitly ,we immiediatelly get the feeling that Rodolfo is a handsome and very popular with the ladies.The role written in a manner agreeable to lyrical voices,althought like Mimi ,he should be capable of projecting some heft at various points in the score Listen BB's duet with Juntuen : O soave fanciulla :)
@drewski67 Well - taking my words back - looked up the score - the aria is in D-flat and that dolce speranza is a modulation on the Double Dominant to Dominant - Bb 7/9 -> Eb - so it has to be a high C - the strings really do double the C which is what Rodolfo sings (but not in the original version - he sings a D -> Eb. HOWEVER I still maintain that the recording / or the performance may be transposed down a bit. Sorry for the bitchy comments - but that's how I am before my morning coffee
Nice voice, but I'm more blown away by some of the inane comments on this wall. -It's Wunderlich, no 't' (as we already established) -It's a high-C, not a B-flat -Before you go running to look at your scores, know that 'la dolce speranza' hasn't been sung since the beginning part of the last century, when it practically became mandatory to sing the C
Here is the latest news :):) Mr Bezduz LA BOHEME as Rodolfo - upcoming SWEDEN Goteborg 2008 December 4,12,18 and 2009 January 9,11,14,17,21,24,29 February 1,4,8 Hope
Dear Gevork ! Would you please advice another opera singer who can sing this aria better than BB.(I mean contemporary ,young upcoming generation) Sincerely :ojdf
Yes, great technique and grazie voice (reminds me a little of young Carreras), but these days we are lacking spinto and dramatic voices, no more excitement. Never get any excitement in the house these days...only listening to old live recordings can do that for me.
@MrKiliev I appreciate you being mature enough to admit when you're wrong, but I don't get where the D-Eb is coming from. Original version?? Tenors have been known to sing the aria (and sometimes the whole scena) down a half step, but you mentioned UP a half step?? No tenor would ever transpose this aria higher than the original key. Yes, Bezduz sings the E-flat in 'Lucia' as written. VERY few tenors do it though.
He could, I know he could. But he may not. Got it? If you want it to be a real succes, why hurry, give him some more time - his singing is good, but not perfect.
I revisited the performance today at a matinee and it was even better than the premiere. The acting was really moving - I had tears in my eyes on many occasions and I'm not that easily moved. The cast, especially Mr Bezduz and Ms Juntunen did a great job. This is a performance worth preserving.

The similarity of timbre between Bülent Bezdüz and Stephen Costello is uncanny!

How many times did Carreras sing che gelida manina in the wright key on stage

Dear Gevork !

Sincerely :ojdf
I love this aria so much...but I can't sing the high C part....hahahaha.toughest. my top note currently..is a pushed high A.
I want to hear him in few years. If he works just a little bit more he can be a great singer!
I prefer him in "La traviata"
Yes, great technique and grazie voice (reminds me a little of young Carreras), but these days we are lacking spinto and dramatic voices, no more excitement.
Never get any excitement in the house these days...only listening to old live recordings can do that for me.

Manque un peu d'épaisseur mais charmant.
Comparing singers to Pavarotti is quite unfair, similar to saying, "John is nice, but he's no Jesus!"
He could, I know he could. But he may not. Got it? If you want it to be a real succes, why hurry, give him some more time - his singing is good, but not perfect.
great voice, not a great actor :/
