Dmitri Hvorostovsky sings this aria from Gluck's opera Paride ed Elena. Moscow, 1991. For a free English translation, please see the following: operainenglish.blogspot.com/20...
This video helped teach me this song. This guy's amazing, even if he doesn't pay any attention to rhythms at all. Just made his own interpretation, and that makes me respect him even more.
I love it when some people on youtube comment on professionals like Dmitri, saying .. he should do this .. he should do that when they clearly don't know what they are talking about. Hehe.
@MrCtblade I certainly want these kids to work hard in school and do well and do not look down on them. However, musicianship and the skills that are associated with it are not freshest when still in school. They continue to improve greatly when you use them on the stage, in the studio, in the classroom or wherever one finds work.
O del mio dolce ardor Bramato oggetto, L’aura che tu respiri, Alfin respiro. O vunque il guardo io giro, Le tue vaghe sembianze Amore in me dipinge: Il mio pensier si finge Le più liete speranze; E nel desio che così M’empie il petto Cerco te, chiamo te, spero e sospiro.
If you define "correct" as "intended" then obviously there is a correct interpretation that doesn't defeat the purpose of music. The composers of today, yesterday, and hopefully tomorrow write music for a reason. They have deliberate meanings and feelings to get across through the art form. Anyone can sing a song, but those with a great love for the music will try their absolute hardest to bring out that expression that the composer worked so hard to put into a score. That marks a true master.
Actually the larynx titls doown and forward as you ascend, if you are singing properly. The feeling is one of great ease and freedom. Read William Vennard's The Mechanism and the Technique
Tiene la mejor voz de Baritono que he escuchado. Maneja siempre la misma oscuridad, hasta en el FA. El problema son los matices. Es Piano el comienzo, y varias partes tambien, lo hace muy de opera Belica. Hay que escuchar a Florez y aprender, bueno o al mismo Pavarotti. Pero sigo pensando que tiene la mejor voz de baritono. Gigante.
It seems however that Renato Bruson is superior to him but certainly Renato Bruson being Italian he has more facility to make the nuances because his understanding of the text is greater...
🎼❤️🛐O del mio dolce ardor bramato oggetto l'aura che tu respiri,alfin respiro Ovunque il guardo io giro le tu vaghe sembianze amore in me dipinge: Il mio piensier si finge le più liete speranze; e nel desio che cosi m'empie il petto certo te...chiamo te...spero e sospiro💫🥰
This is a rather interesting interpretation... considering that Paris is one of THE great lovers in opera, this is just a little too strong, in my opinion. It sounds more like Paris is going off to war, rather than waiting for Helen to come across the sea.
@gyaiff This is a very dark song, requiring a darker tone, The man is a pro, Beyond all pro's. Would love to see a video response of your version. if your up to the challenge. If you do, ill do it too, lol,
o vunque o vuuuuuuuuunque! Thats very important. He should had an italian teacher before trying to sing this piece. But by all means, as we all know a lovely voice.
@jhgreenhorn Actually, for higher pitches the larynx lowers a 16Th of an inch. A study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, fluoroscope over a thousand Opera singers and every single one of those singers larynx lowered as the pitch got higher.
In your opinion larynx is not low, in the correct position, but kept low by force in order to have a dark sound? The position of the larynx must be low
I love it when kids in college give advise to world class singers, its pretty funny. I might give advice to Dmitri on how to sing in English, but that's about it.
Actually, she is a good pop singer and can do much more with her voice than other pop singers can do. Yes, I do think she's a good singer. Being able to sing at the greatest opera houses in the world is a BIT different than winning grammys. If he had horrible technique, he would have ruined his instrument by now, which he has not.
He slipped up pretty significantly @ 1:03 by starting to sing the wrong line, but I am impressed by how well he handled it. You can't tell at all without the text in front of you. He goes on as if nothing happened and I still love the performance overall. He also got a vowel wrong in "liete" (he says "lieto"). He doesn't make those mistakes in his recorded version. Also, even Bastianini clearly gets a line wrong in "Invano Alvaro" with Corelli (th-cam.com/video/2qSD9dHtzYo/w-d-xo.html ), saying "Ah! la macchia del tuo (sic) sangue" instead of "Ah! la macchia del tuo stemma." But he gets it right in the version with Giuseppe (th-cam.com/video/Z9oWPWnCPFU/w-d-xo.html ). It feels strange to see simple mistakes like these at the top level, but I guess you're never to big to slip up.
He sings with no feeling. And his head is tilted downwards the entire time, which is especially bad in with that large venue. I'm sure people up top in the back can see only the top of his head. I like his voice, but it is not suitable for this piece.
You guys know nothing about technique... you shouldnt even think of your larnyx if you support correctly it lies freely and shouldnt move at all neither should your tongue move it should lie flat in one position. You shouldnt try and do anything with your larynx.. singing is natural not forced..only force you apply is to the support
gosh this is horrible. who cares if larynx goes up or down. this man shouldn't be singing anything other than russian folk songs. a fluke of cardiff, he couldn't sound like bastianini under the best circumstances. i don't get it. did he have a translation of what this song is about? it's not a violent song.
Just because an opera singer is well known does NOT mean that he/she has great technique. I can't understand any of what this guy is singing because his sound is jammed so far down the back on his throat. It's just awful.
The mic is too close to him, maybe somewhere in his clothe, the loud breathing is very noticeable, this song is supposed to be sung with more tenderness and smoother not like somebody going to the war.And the phrasing is not refined or stylistic, just too cold labored disconnected artificially thicken and darken ingolata non free sounds singing note by note ( no real legato) one after another( but sounds beautiful for most through audio and video for most)...live without mic would be another story...P.S try listening to Ettore Bastianini or Renato Bruson, Renata Tebaldi,Jeller Filipe( such free,pleasurable and projecting voice)with real finesse, dynamic and expressiveness conveying love for his beloved....
further more turk... this man is a circus not a singer. good grief. a cardiff accident. you want a circus go see him. have seen him live, and dead and all of the above. man can't sing and pianists have to hold back... and with orchestras he gets over miked. sad, sad, sad. he is one of the operatic trageides of our time.

It's so sad that he passed, when he should have had many more years to share his beautiful voice. He was a fantastic singer.
What a beatiful voice Hvorostovsky has!!! Bravo!!!!
One of my favorite Italian Arias that I've been singing for a year or so now. I will bring that song as far as I can.
This guy is great, of course.
Beautiful voice! Love this interpretation.
wow, what a voice! and passion.
I love this particular performance. Wish I had a voice like that.
I like very much this song !! And in Dimitri's voice sounds very good. I'm in love :D
This video helped teach me this song. This guy's amazing, even if he doesn't pay any attention to rhythms at all. Just made his own interpretation, and that makes me respect him even more.
bellisima cancion y bellisima interpretacion, estubo de lujo
I love it when some people on youtube comment on professionals like Dmitri, saying .. he should do this .. he should do that when they clearly don't know what they are talking about. Hehe.
veramente bravissimo..
So beautiful I cried
Fascinating . Thanks.
Applause, tears and smiles. Beautiful performance. Thanks, bis.
awesome
Hvorostovsky is the Master!
He is the best of all baritones!
I love this soooooo much :') amazing
*sighs* I love his voice. *sighs*
@joshmills04music Exactly! I love it when kids in their 20s still in music school or non singers like to give advice to world class singers.
mi ídolo! :D
i love it
진짜 훌륭하다..
@MrCtblade I certainly want these kids to work hard in school and do well and do not look down on them. However, musicianship and the skills that are associated with it are not freshest when still in school.

Serás inmortal siempre.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Maravilloso!!!!!!!!!!! Grande Dimitri!!!
O del mio dolce ardor
Bramato oggetto,
L’aura che tu respiri,
Alfin respiro.
O vunque il guardo io giro,
Le tue vaghe sembianze
Amore in me dipinge:
Il mio pensier si finge
Le più liete speranze;
E nel desio che così
M’empie il petto
Cerco te, chiamo te, spero e sospiro.
Great
j'aime sa voix
The Best
Really? Well, the Met, Covent Garden, La Scala and every other major opera house in the world think he's one of the best in the world.

정말 대단한 깊이의 성량이 멋집니다^^
멋지네요 ^^

This man is a master Bairtone! And anyone who thinks he's not? Clearly needs ear training cause this is as best as it gets!
The 40 people who disliked this video are 40 sad souls who only wish they could perform this song as well as he could.
🎼❤️🛐O del mio dolce ardor bramato oggetto
l'aura che tu respiri,alfin respiro
Ovunque il guardo io giro
le tu vaghe sembianze
amore in me dipinge:
Il mio piensier si finge
le più liete speranze;
e nel desio che cosi m'empie il petto
certo te...chiamo te...spero e sospiro💫🥰
Parliamo di fattori culturali, di tradizionali e stilistici vero? La performance secondo me è buona!
@celtdownunder i like his aria of Posa, as he sang it in Cardiff, it is somewhere on youtube too.
💔💔💔🙏🏻
Ditto to all!
This is a rather interesting interpretation... considering that Paris is one of THE great lovers in opera, this is just a little too strong, in my opinion. It sounds more like Paris is going off to war, rather than waiting for Helen to come across the sea.

me amore!
i can't find this aria in the key he's singing in. E flat minor makes it more epic than the D minor in the schirmer 24 italian aria book.
@celtdownunder you mean at the singer of the world competition 1989:-))? really? did you guess he would win?
@marcellny Homophobia not needed here...thanks for playing.
o vunque o vuuuuuuuuunque! Thats very important. He should had an italian teacher before trying to sing this piece. But by all means, as we all know a lovely voice.
@jhgreenhorn Actually, for higher pitches the larynx lowers a 16Th of an inch. A study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, fluoroscope over a thousand Opera singers and every single one of those singers larynx lowered as the pitch got higher.
lowered or tilted? There's a difference
In your opinion larynx is not low, in the correct position, but kept low by force in order to have a dark sound?
The position of the larynx must be low
I love it when kids in college give advise to world class singers, its pretty funny. I might give advice to Dmitri on how to sing in English, but that's about it.
baritonebynight lmao
Lo importante es seguir cantando, terminar de cantar el aria. En que parte se olvidó la letra?.
Don't think he needs your help.
❤有人8
Wow. His hair is brown!
Is this in B flat minor or ? Cause I know there's a d minor for low voices
Yea with a focal point of F#
Wait isn't it in E flat?
what language is this song in?
Katie McGovern Italian
Key?
I'm pretty sure it moves actually. Even if only incrementally.
Maybe I should listen better but I would say that the larynx is low then the throat is open.
I reserve a new audience to understand better.
beautiful voice but i just don't anderstand a word haha
@cfreetenor
You clearly don't know this aria
RIP
oh no!!!! when did he die?!
Last year
중간에 가사도 실수하고 ..감정도 없네유..
Helal zamki
You don't understand a word 'cause u are not italian. I am and I can say his pronunce is good.
too fast !
let the time of emotions !
Ddhabbou Oim The score says moderate
@baritonebynight yeah, and Christina Aguilera has won like a million Grammys. Do you think she's a good singer?
Actually, she is a good pop singer and can do much more with her voice than other pop singers can do. Yes, I do think she's a good singer. Being able to sing at the greatest opera houses in the world is a BIT different than winning grammys. If he had horrible technique, he would have ruined his instrument by now, which he has not.
Too much chest voice but good for pop
He slipped up pretty significantly @ 1:03 by starting to sing the wrong line, but I am impressed by how well he handled it. You can't tell at all without the text in front of you. He goes on as if nothing happened and I still love the performance overall. He also got a vowel wrong in "liete" (he says "lieto"). He doesn't make those mistakes in his recorded version.

But he gets it right in the version with Giuseppe (th-cam.com/video/Z9oWPWnCPFU/w-d-xo.html ). It feels strange to see simple mistakes like these at the top level, but I guess you're never to big to slip up.
he's too cold... very good, but cold.
He forgot the words at 1:03 haha.
Perhaps he was a darker lover... rather like Rochester... He was a Trojan after all.
You can't really have a correct interpretation of any piece of music.... that would defeat the who purpose of music
Absolutely not, the throat is open and the voice is correct.
tout est toujours serieux ceremonieux avec ce chanteur , on dirait qu'il ne sait pas ce qu'il chante ( meme s'il chante tres bien)
Se le olvido la letra xD
He sings with no feeling. And his head is tilted downwards the entire time, which is especially bad in with that large venue. I'm sure people up top in the back can see only the top of his head. I like his voice, but it is not suitable for this piece.

You shouldnt try and do anything with your larynx.. singing is natural not forced..only force you apply is to the support
that's incorrect. Lower your larynx and you will FEEL the openness.
he's too cold.
gosh this is horrible. who cares if larynx goes up or down. this man shouldn't be singing anything other than russian folk songs. a fluke of cardiff, he couldn't sound like bastianini under the best circumstances. i don't get it. did he have a translation of what this song is about? it's not a violent song.
Just terrible, listen Mattia Battistini!
EW
What is ew about it?
Just because an opera singer is well known does NOT mean that he/she has great technique. I can't understand any of what this guy is singing because his sound is jammed so far down the back on his throat. It's just awful.

But he is still good at singing
You're just stupid
further more turk... this man is a circus not a singer. good grief. a cardiff accident. you want a circus go see him. have seen him live, and dead and all of the above. man can't sing and pianists have to hold back... and with orchestras he gets over miked. sad, sad, sad. he is one of the operatic trageides of our time.
O del mio dolce ardor

Il mio pensier si finge
Le più liete speranze;
E nel desio che così
M’empie il petto
Cerco te, chiamo te, spero e sospiro.
