I love how the few notes he cracked a bit didn’t phase him. He still delivered an amazing performance. It’s refreshing to see humanness in the process and that we can still make mistakes while sounding beautiful.
There's always some. If I had to guess what it was with opera fans though it's probably because his voice isn't super dark and dramatic. There is a weird contingent of opera listeners that refuse to enjoy any tenor voice that isn't super chesty and dark. I have to imagine they're not themselves singers. In my experience a singer's singer is typically one with great control and the ability to sing with agility and sweetness in the upper register simply because that's so hard to do. Non-singers tend to equate volume and a darker timbre with difficulty and skill, which I think is generally wrong.
For me, there's two things. 1- It's a nice voice, but I'm not sure he does enough with it. Line disappears often, he seems to get exhausted towards the end, and I don't always get the sense of nervous energy this aria requires. He's young and it's promising, but there's work to do. 2- I was in the hall for the final, and Emily D'Angelo was miles and miles ahead, at the age of only 23. John Brancy was excellent as well. So Bahg was not an unworthy winner, but he did not have the assurance and excitement that D'Angelo provided (and indeed, she's now singing first roles in major houses, and just released a well-received debut album).
It is possible that it has to do with race/culture .Or, not to be unkind , but perhaps it is because he is not particularly visually appealing ( just a guess ) In my opinion this chubby little man more than makes up for it with his phenomenal voice and singing ability . The thumbs-down people aught to listen with their eyes closed , because all that really matters is the music . I'd choose him any day over all these modern 'pretty-boy' wanna-be 'tenors' !
Not really. There have been a number of really great Korean tenors. Most have done really well in competition and then taken on steady gigs somewhere instead of touring or trying to make it big. I think Bahg is the best though. Not just among Korean tenors, but if he keeps polishing his technique I think he could be one of the best of this generation. The first time I heard him he reminded me a sweeter Pavarotti. There is a fullness and ease that you rarely see in the same voice.
He will go down in history as one of the greatest tenors of all time but sadly not in my life time. Wonderful voice, expression and control like this is rare.
Mario Bahg (박승우) I m listening to his singing right now it's been first time I am really impressed with His voice. Beautiful voice with full emotions !!
Best I can tell he's doing gigs between Montreal and NYC but is currently in Korea during the pandemic. I wish he would create a website that has a performance schedule. He performed in a recital in Montreal a few months ago that I would have absolutely gone to if I had anyway of knowing it was happening.
A true Alfredo: the delicacy with which he manages the times, the emission of a clean, clear, serene voice; the treble and over treble attacked with mastery and a deep feeling, crown the person, at the height of the legendary singers who have played the role.
I am 😯.To be an asian operatic is not a problem. yihje Shi is a perfect belcantist.Yosep Kang wonderful in Paris in Huguenots. His voice is superb wonderful legato, i don’t care 🤷♀️ the weight, Michael Spyres becomes one of the mist famous tenor with his weight. He is a splendid Alfredo.
This rather suits his voice better than other things I heard him singing. But he needs to let rip and go further with the music. There are certain places where singing with more abandon could make the difference.

Yeah, he ran out of breath at the end of the phrase preceeding the final few bars. Very well recovered though.
목소리가 자꾸 듣고 싶어지네요.
몇번째 듣는지...
한번 듣기 시작하면 4~5회는 반복해서 듣고 있읍니다.
아름답습니다.
멎진 음악을 들려줘서 감사합니다.
Effortless singing and at the same time very beautiful!
The first time I saw him perform in an evening concert in Mannheim Palace, I was so enchanted!
I'd really love to know why some people are giving this a thumbs down? I mean...what more could people want? This performance has it all.

Usually envious amateurs fearing that their idol‘s fame is endangered by upcoming singers

I would like to see you in an operahouse in Germany soon if you are not already somewhere there:)
Best I can tell he's doing gigs between Montreal and NYC but is currently in Korea during the pandemic. I wish he would create a website that has a performance schedule.

BRAVO BEAUTIFUL VOICE AND SINGING.

소리에 꿀이떨어지는 공명 매끄러운 레가토 중음과 고음의연결이 절묘하고 다이나믹이 또렷한한소리
마지막으로 영혼을 울리는 보이스칼라가 돋보이는 세계적수준의 테너인것같습니다~브라보
Brilliant.
Magnifique !
마지막 긴 고음 High C, 헐!!! 아무 테너나 다 부를 수 있는 아리아는 아니다! 대단하심!
Love the guy's face in the background.
Very good voice !bravo!!

마리오 박! 부드러우면서도 힘있는 전형적인 오리지날 테너
음성 !감동 입니다!!

I have never seen a Korean vocalist with such a beautiful voice. He is superior to any present tenor in the world.
You must be easy to please then Cha seung

독일 가곡도 잘 어울릴 것 같은 소리입니다.
Awesome ❤
Bravo!
Браво!
Narodil se druhý Pavarotti! Nádherný okouzlující hlas
Es la voz de Calleja y Pavarotti
오케스트라와 협연할때 목소리가 더욱 빛나는 듯! 아름다움과 슬픔이 같이 있어요...
5:09 Na buuu
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Tiene un timbre muy bonito, me recuerda la voz de Aragall
1:49
크흑😂😂😂 GOAT!
Bravo…
Mario
This rather suits his voice better than other things I heard him singing. But he needs to let rip and go further with the music. There are certain places where singing with more abandon could make the difference.

눈을 감고 들으면 루치아노 파바로티의 음성이 들린다.. 크게 될 인물이지 않을까 싶다!
와......!브라보~!
