Can you please compare this to an older performance of his? I genuinely wonder what has happened to his voice/technique in the past couple of years. It feels sometimes like he's singing without support from diaphragm and fully relying on his throat around the passaggio. Very interested in hearing your analysis of this compared to an older one, say from 2010.
From the words "E lucevan le stelle" to "mi cadea fra le braccia", old tenors spoke these phrases (Corelli, Caruso, Gigli, Di Stefano, Del Monaco; etc), they do not think about the voice output. In the opera it is important to express the words you are singing. Jonas kaufmann is more interested here in sound dark (like always), than express the words he is singing. Corelli, and all those old tenors, specially Beniamino Gigli, arrives directly to my heart when I heard the melancholic expression of those first phrases, however, Jonas Kaufmann does not. In addition, old tenor did not push high notes, Kaufmann does. Thank's God there are a lot of recordings live of those genius of the opera, and I do not have to listen this new generation. It is not neccesary to sound dark to be an spinto tenors. For example, Martinelli and Tucker did not have dark voices, however, they were spinto tenors. I agree with you in your analyse. Merci beaucoup par partager te connaisance avec nous!
Yes, but Kaufman is not anywhere close to being a spinto tenor, his voice is far too small. He is a Mozart tenor, that is where he has done the best. Darkness alone does not equal a spinto or dramatic tenor.
Мы можем найти много видео, где Jonas поет арию из Токи. Раньше это было божественно. Сейчас, к сожалению, посредственно. Понятно. , голосовые связки стареют.
Dit voelt een beetje als een laffe aanval op Jonas...dat verdient ie niet...natuurlijk is zijn stem gerijpt...maar nog steeds even prachtig....ich liebe ihn für immer❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
With that tone, permanently produced from the gola, it's impossible to enjoy the singing.The sound production is constantly strained, all the vowels sound muffled, the voice doesn’t sound free, and it’s exhausting to listen. I can’t stand him.

Absolutely agree. Have been Loving Jones for years. Not even loving.. Admired. This is a big difference in voice sound and technic as well....

You truly understand

@@ZENOBlAmusic I agree with you. He is not an spinto tenor. However, he is singing Otello!!...

I would not say [его голос повзрослел]. UNFORTUNATELLY THERE IS NO SINGER WHO COULD NOT START TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH HIS/HER VOICEE WITH AGING...
Ook al zegt ie fijne dingen over hem....wie is die man? Is Jonas hiervan op de hoogte?Als ik hem was zou ik dit filmpje verwijderen....
