My first voice teacher dated Jerry in college. She and her husband had dinner with him in Paris just a few weeks before his tragic passing. She had no idea Jerry was so troubled.
Your comment might at first seem a little outlandish but not really! If I were able to choose the last melody I would ever hear on this earth, it could easily be this one. With these two singers performing it. Jerry, you were a beautiful tenor. Flawless. My oh my why did you do it.
Just brings tears to my eyes! This was a concert I saw on PBS called the American Musical. One of the best done by opera singers for this great art form... ❤️🙏🏽👏🏽🌹
Jerry Hadley(1952-2007) and Renee Fleming in this marvelous Berstein Candide duet and chorus.With themFrederica Von Stade,Marilyn Horne,Samuel Ramey,Elizabeth Futral and Duane Croft
Lawrence Allen - He was as wonderful and down to earth a person as you could want to know on top of being a great singer. I had known him since the late 70s and he was as kind and down to earth at the height of his game as he was when he started at Citi Opera.
Hav been rehearsing Candide with a proam co Found this duet almost by accident Beautiful Hadnt heard of Jerry Hadley but glorious voice How tragic he ended his own life
o trecho que encerra o Candide, e o único realmente bonito. This choir concludes "Candide" and it is, in fact, its only beautiful theme...and the orchestral ouverture.

Foꝛ the recoꝛd, this was done after the death, burial, and reſurrection of the Loꝛd Ieſus Chꝛiſt and it was put out by PBS., aka the woꝛld. They haue no excuſe. This ſong is very ſelfe righteous, and euill, and philoſophical, exactly what the apoſtle Paul warned of in Coloſſians 2:8-10 Holy Bible 1611. Acknowledge thine euill, good, but the deuills likewiſe doe this and they will haue their end in the lake of fire. You cannot make it without beleefe, ſpecifiacally beleefe on the death, burial, and reſurrection of the Loꝛd Ieſus foꝛ the atonement and remiſſion of ſinnes. Ye muſt be reconciled to God thꝛough faith in Ieſus Chꝛiſt and what he did. Saying thou art euill and that thou wilt doe thy beſt, is not good enough, thy beſt is not good enough. Onely Gods beſt is good enough in the life and perſon of Ieſus as accounted of in the holy Scriptures.
For me Fleming's voice sounds unpleasant. Very weird vibrato and "hollow" voice in the lower range. Here Hadley is very much not in his prime, his voice just a shadow of what it was in the 80s and early 90s. Not as full nor as deep nor as secured. Still he still delivers a fine performance.
One of the best finales. “We’re neither pure nor wise nor good. We’ll do the best we know.”
For me, this single piece is Lennie's most magnificent contribution. I tear up every time I hear it, performed by whomever.
Me too. Play it weekly.
You are 100% right. A single song just completely lifts my spirit-- like I’m floating!
What a remarkable ensemble! Jerry Hadley had no rivals. How I miss him!
Me too
Mr. Hadley had a wonderful. soul stirring voice--so sorry for the loss of him.
He gave such happiness to countless numbers of folk who heard his glorious voice… if only he could have taken that in and not left us.
I agree! His loss was a great one for the music world!

Bernstein's crowning glory. The best melody ever written

Well, there’s ‘Somewhere’…
@@joelweisberg I agree - the best melody ever written.
@@joelweisberg He is the only one who knows.
One of the most sublimely beautiful pieces Bernstein, or anyone, ever wrote. I am watching this in tears from the beauty of Hadley's
Me, too! It's my favorite Bernstein piece and they're singing it beautifully, especially Jerry Hadley.
57monks I absolutely agree...
@@birdlover7776 I've seen Candide live 4 times. I've played the recording countless times. Yes, tears flow still with this spectacular ending!
Daniel Weinberg There are also beautiful passages from West Side Story. Jerry Hadley singing “ Maria” is pure perfection...
A gorgeous piece with a wonderful ensemble. Yes, I tear up , too.
Two of my favourite singers and both seemingly very down-to-earth. The loss of Jerry Hadley was truly tragic.
Jerry Hadley RIP
Remembering the great Jerry Hadley (1952-2007) with Renee Fleming
They sound amazing!!! His voice has taken on a fullness from 5 years before .
Renée is just wonderful- as always!!!
He's impressive, very passionate, makes me cry
What a voice! Truly inspiring Mr. Hadley.
Just brings tears to my eyes! This was a concert I saw on PBS called the American Musical. One of the best done by opera singers for this great art form... ❤️🙏🏽👏🏽🌹
I liked it.
Jerry Hadley (June 16, 1952 - July 18, 2007)
Perfection. Mr Hadley and Madam Fleming
JUst a joy for the soul.
Beyond brilliant!!!

Yeah, that Horne kid has come a long way since the purple egg.... :-D
Although I never knew him God bless Jerry Hadley - a great voice and a wonderful performance with Renee.

Found this duet almost by accident
Beautiful
Hadnt heard of Jerry Hadley but glorious voice
How tragic he ended his own life
Thanks for uploading! Love the bonus Samuel Ramey.
Oh that's great. The finale of what opera also today could be...
Goosebumps
너무 아름답다~테너의 목소리가 이처럼 유연하며 감미롭고 에너지가 있으니~미국 테너에서 보기드문 모습 제리 하들리
Quanta Bellissima voce!
Sung as it should be sung... glorious
sublime
Nice piece. Thanks for uploading it!
That’s ma boy Samuel Ramey in the back.
Not in the back - a starring role as Dr. Pangloss!
@@psychokarloff any questions?😉😉
Wohllaut der Töne, wie vom Himmel !!!!!!
Precioso tema
Excelente
One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever. Wait...is that Marilyn Horne?
Yep!
Hard as heck to watch this knowing he had to end his life to be set free from his suffering.....
o trecho que encerra o Candide, e o único realmente bonito. This choir concludes "Candide" and it is, in fact, its only beautiful theme...and the orchestral ouverture.
Any questions? ;)
Only a hint of the glorious voice that was to become Renee Fleming. At this time, I still would prefer June Anderson 's performance.
So do i
Elizabeth Futral must have been pissed that she wasn't singing Cunegonde lol
Darn i just watched the Streisand life version with the 3 tenors right before this one and it's a bit hard to like after barbra
June Anderson sings so much better than Fleming. Anderson had a deeper understanding of the role
You're entitled to your opinion, but, I disagree 😎😎😎
Love June also - her Lucia? Awesome!!
What a racket
The drunk banjo separately cough because liquor worryingly wobble with a natural alarm. billowy, clear french
Wish there was some other soprano instead of Fleming, she is nothing compared to the great Hadley
There are videos of this with June Anderson and Dawn Upshaw which are much more satisfying
@@fontevrault4690
There are comments here *much* *more* satisfying
😊😊😊
Opera Lover Fortunately for us, Renée Fleming is still alive!!
@operalover
........shhhhhhhhhh! This is a conversation for grownups
Reneé Fleming ruined this performance.
Why? I'm not being critical of your opinion. I'm curious as to why you arrived at that conclusion.
@@mickey1849 because Hadley performed it with June Anderson and her voice just suited the role
@@crazyorganist1609 so no one else can sing it without "ruining" it? imbecilic
@lazatarra
......ssssssshhhhhhhh!
