Jerry Hadley was, no doubt, the best American tenor , and still is! The beauty and pureness of his voice plus his innate musicality, good taste and excellent vocal technique made him unique. So sad having lost him so prematurely. RIP, admired maestro!
@@boundary2580Jerry was a Lyric Tenor which allowed him to perform roles from Broadway to serious opera. Richard Tucker was a Spinto Tenor which is a deeper and stronger voice for heavier operatic roles. But undoubtedly Hadley could have been the successor of Tucker should he hadn’t died relatively young. His voice would have settled to a much bigger voice with the passing of the years but death robbed him from that opportunity. The opera world lost a great artist with his untimely passing. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
The light heady sound at 2:50 was bloody stunning. I'm an aspiring Tenor and Mr Hadley's voice is such an inspiration to me. Up there with the old greats.
@@romanpears8442 o.k. Carreres did it at Bernsteins recording - but Lennie wanted to have Jerry. DG thought t have better success with money. That's business...
That Bb4 at 1:52 is beautiful but it makes me so emotional. I never knew about Jerry Hadley until 2013 as a freshman in college. I feel like I missed out... what a voice.
I grieve at the loss of Jerry Hadley. What a gift, and he sang correctly. RIP. This version is great, so well done. He was a great artist. (Symphony Hall, I knew it immediately! The Boston Pops has had incredible guest artists.)
This is the GREATEST AMERICAN TENOR EXTREMELY WELL TRAINED BY TOM LOMONACO. THE VOICE IS SO FREE AND WITH RICH RESONANCE AND FULL OF LIFE. HIS UNDERSTANDING OF THE APPOGGIO BREATHING TECHNIQUE IS VERY EVIDENT AND FLAWLESS.
a very fine rendition of this great song! Jerry Hadley would have been a great member of the WSS 1985 recording. Having said that, it is not because Jose Carreras' voice wasn't lovely because it WAS! But I do think his heavy Spanish accent was detrimental to him playing Tony an "American" shark. . Still, Carreras did a great job particularly singing Maria and One Hand One Heart. RIP Maestro Hadley.
what a lovely instrument and what a tragic waste of a great talent! I felt he never got his due as a singer. I loved the sound and tone of Hadley's voice! Why they chose HEAVILY ACCENTED Jose Carreras for the recording instead of truly American and equally gifted ,Jerry Hadley I do not know! He did this well! Larry Kert is still my favorite!
Jerry Hadley was Berstein first choice as Tony in the 1985 WSS recording. But DG wanted a more famous tenor to sell the recording.They called Neil Schicoff and Peter Hoffmann but when couldnt Jose Carreras was cast.Berstein didnt like his performance as we see in the video of the recording.Later in.1989 Lenny cast Hadley for his Candide recording.
It's truly a shame we couldn't hear him with that recording. Carreras is a wonderful talent but was just adrift in the recording. It needed Jerry's sensibility and timbre. What a Tony he would have made.
I believe Bernstein wanted JH for this recording but Beverly Sills would not let him out of contracted performances at NYCO. It is a nice tribute to JH that Carreras was his backup.
My most favourite version of Maria done by an opera tenor. So exquisite and more honest compared to Jose Carerras' version! Any more versions of this done by a tenor? Please let me know!
He was Berstein first choice as Tony in the Berstein West Side Story recording but he couldnt as also couldnt Neil Schicoff the second Berstein choice and Carreras was cast but Berstein didnt like his performance

Agreed on all. He was one of the timeless greats.
I still like Tucker more, but they are different kinds of tenors so I think of them both as the best.
Yes!

I think Rockwell Black is the best, he is a unique leggiero tenor, not just a lyric
The most beautiful sound I ever heard...

Lee Cander I’m a fan of Jose Carreras but Hadley sang it better.
check out Rouvaun doing this...
"The most beautiful mullet I've ever seeeeen"
I've never been a fan of Hadley, but I must admit, he nailed it. In fact, that is best damn version of this song I have ever heard. RIP Mr. Hadley!
The gold standard for this song...No one has ever done this song any better.
YES!!!
What about Carreras? Not take a pronunciation
@@romanpears8442 o.k. Carreres did it at Bernsteins recording - but Lennie wanted to have Jerry. DG thought t have better success with money. That's business...
@@michaelfuting2403 I wanna tell you as for me Carreras has a more beautiful voice, but maybe yes Jerry would be better because of pronunciation
@@romanpears8442 You want to have a beauiful voice - I want to have the truth of the situation...
That Bb4 at 1:52 is beautiful but it makes me so emotional. I never knew about Jerry Hadley until 2013 as a freshman in college. I feel like I missed out... what a voice.
Jerry Hadley had a CD called "Standing Room Only" with all the Broadway hits; It was great.. RIP Jerry.

It is not only the wonderful voice, it is also what he can do with the words - a real artist!
Such a beautiful rendition!! ❤️
Truly beautiful. Thank you Jerry Hadley
You left us too soon 🌸💥

PERFECCION!!

🥺😍🥰 I love it
love and miss him.
Sublime
Outstanding
This is how this wonderful music SHOULD be sung. And the diction! Who said that the words are not important?
Heavenly
The definitive "Maria," in my opinion.
Bravissimo

stop comparing tenors like this. Its not nice. Both had great careers and have different things to bring. Sad this man lost his life early.
Definitive

Here's another recent version: th-cam.com/video/3JyTTs9ymyA/w-d-xo.html
Ah!
Also, listen to Johnny Mathis's gorgeous version.
Luis Mariano también la cantó.
Didn't he pass away a few years ago?
He was Berstein first choice as Tony in the Berstein West Side Story recording but he couldnt as also couldnt Neil Schicoff the second Berstein choice and Carreras was cast but Berstein didnt like his performance
I love Jerry Hadley, but Im sorry these lyrics are just killing the name maria xD
Well, to prolong the agony, catch JH's version of "Ave Maria" elsewhere on TH-cam...
