I heard him singing this at the Met today. He not only nailed the top "C"s but did so with astonishing power. He was terrific - and his acting was very good as well.
Meraviglioso. Era dai tempi del.mitico Kraus che non ascoltavo qualcosa di cosi valido. Raffinato ed elegante nei cantabili potente e facile nello squillo. Complimenti
Yes, its the right voice for that song. A lot of other very fine tenors (say Domingo or Pavarotti) just don't sound sufficiently young and effortless for it - it takes suppleness rather than power (except perhaps for that final high C).
En el minuto 03:27 se ve cómo Camarena ha llegado a tal dominio de su instrumento que parece que acaricia la música con su voz. Se da el lujo de bajar el volumen, regular el flujo y el resultado es una obra de arte.
It used to be that no one sang this or if they did they transposed it down. Sutherland and Boynge asked Pavarotti if he wanted to sing it transposed like everyone else but he said he would try it as written. The rest is history. But there are some famous excellent tenors who have bigger richer, warmer voice who sing it but shouldn't. This guy Camarena sounds great because he has the right kind of voice for this part. But even so that wasn't the vocal production Donizetti expected. Remember the High C from the chest was first heard in Lucia when Duprez sang full voice up to the top and created a sensation. Prior to that tenors sang the top notes in falsetto. Most big name tenors never sing a High C on stage. Domingo, Vickers, King and many others simply didn't have a C. On the other hand I talked once to a tenor in the chorus of a Traviata I was in who claimed he could sing a G above High C. He probably could, but you couldn't hear him a foot away. Most of the really high voices are small voices. Camerena sounds like his voice would carry in a big hall because it's so pure. Caruso changed what people expected a tenor to sound like. So did Pavarotti.
''Most big name tenorss never sing a High C on stage''. I don't know hoy many is ''most'', but there were some big tenors who certainly did: Di Stefano, Corellil, Pavarotti, Lauri-Volpi, Bjorling, Lanza, Gigli, Gedda, Kraus, Tucker, Aragall, Kunde, Araizal... Should I keep going?
No tienes ni idea, los mejores tenores en cuanto técnica, potencia e interpretación son Juan diego Florez, el mejor, y el segundo Jonas Kaufmann, este último con una impostación exagerada pero no se le quitan meritos.
Esta hablando en serio honas es muy buena persona pero como tenor dramatico es un desastrees perverso su vozno corre en el teatro y sus agudos o sobreagudos son inesistentes
@@fredycastropinzon7342 de hecho todo lo contrario, como tenor dramático es muy bueno, como lo podria ser un tenor lírico no es bueno, problema en los agudos desde el do, pero como tenor dramático no hay mejor.
Es verdad despues de mucho fue el que consiguió doble bis cosas que aún no ha conseguido otro cantante lírico. Mil respetos para Juan Diego pero Javier actualmente es el #1. Lo indican los números.
@@leonardotigre2310 de hecho, todo lo contrario, los numeros indican a juan diego como el mejor, y para que hablar en presencia de teatro, interpretación y técnica vocal, quizá en tesitura camarena sea mejor, pero como calidad vocal y lo que representa el tenor en si no.
Obviously very good but something about his sound is not as sweet as I would love from a light lyric tenor. Just personal preference, with that said would definitely pay to see this man
他是道地的墨西哥人，而且在墨西哥学的声乐。Born in Xalapa in Mexico’s State of Veracruz, Javier Camarena studied with mezzo-soprano Cecilia Perfecto at the Universidad Veracruzana before completing his musical studies with honors under Hugo Barreiro and Maria Eugenia Sutti at the University of Guanajuato. In 2004, he took first prize in Mexico’s Carlo Morelli National Singing Competition, and the following year he won the Juan Oncinas Award at Barcelona’s Francisco Viñas Competition, after which he was invited to join Zurich’s International Opera Studio under the mentorship of fellow tenor Francisco Araiza. From 2013 to 2016, Lideres Mexicanos included Camarena in their list of Mexico’s most prominent leaders, and in the 2014-15 season, Quién magazine named him as one of 50 leaders transforming the nation.
He actually enjoyed singing that piece which most tenors are just praying to get through it. Outstanding job!!!
I heard him singing this at the Met today. He not only nailed the top "C"s but did so with astonishing power. He was terrific - and his acting was very good as well.
Just heard his Met brdcst. of Lucia today, he was excellent, I'd love to see him in house.
Meraviglioso. Era dai tempi del.mitico Kraus che non ascoltavo qualcosa di cosi valido. Raffinato ed elegante nei cantabili potente e facile nello squillo. Complimenti
Bravo Javier Camarena, genial intérprete. Gracias.
Quality!!! Soft voice which is nice. Bravo!
Yes, its the right voice for that song. A lot of other very fine tenors (say Domingo or Pavarotti) just don't sound sufficiently young and effortless for it - it takes suppleness rather than power (except perhaps for that final high C).
Bravo maestro!! y cómo no, Viva México!!
¡¡¡Qué placer oir a este maravilloso tenor!!!!
Very good indeed a beautiful lyric tenor with a gorgeous sheen to his sound glorious last C to boot bravo 👏

Maestro eres uno de los mejores de todos los tiempos
Not just good top notes but commanding top notes
Grande gusto musicale, colori studiati nei minimi dettagli, piglio brillante ma al tempo stesso dolce e romantico. Una meraviglia..... Bravissimo!!!!
Mah...a me non piace moltissimo
Brilliant voice!
Magnifique !

Bravo
Genial!! En pocos meses lo tendremos en el Teatro Colón de Argentina.
Just a gorgeous performance in every way.
Thank,you so very good 🤗
Braaaaavoo the great Tenor caviet camerana
Excellent!!!
greatest bel canto technician in the world
Simply awesome
Outstanding
Ángel Rodríguez uno de los mejores pianistas en su tipo, tal vez el mejor. en mi opinión. Gran trabajo juntos
the finest lyric tenor singing today
Leggiero tenor perhaps?
Diego-Florez is better.
Bravo!!!
Bravissimi!!!!!
Orgullo Mexicano... BRAVO¡¡¡¡
Mexico tiene muy Buenos tenores(excelentes) Javier es el maestro .
Me encanta!!!
wow!
Mil likes!! Camarena
maravilloso.
una aria a la que inclusive pavarotti le tenia respeto, es todo un reto, al maestro camarena le queda bien al ser un tenor ligero, muy bien ejecutado
Grande padronanza della voce (e grande simpatia umana)
MARAVILLOSO.
El mejor tenor de estos tiempos junto a lawrence brownlee
Gracias por el comentario, no conocía a Lawrence Brownlee. Acabo de ver un vídeo de él, genial.
No tienes ni idea, los mejores tenores en cuanto técnica, potencia e interpretación son Juan diego Florez, el mejor, y el segundo Jonas Kaufmann, este último con una impostación exagerada pero no se le quitan meritos.
Esta hablando en serio honas es muy buena persona pero como tenor dramatico es un desastrees perverso su vozno corre en el teatro y sus agudos o sobreagudos son inesistentes
Y Juan Diego queree
@@fredycastropinzon7342 de hecho todo lo contrario, como tenor dramático es muy bueno, como lo podria ser un tenor lírico no es bueno, problema en los agudos desde el do, pero como tenor dramático no hay mejor.
though many have tried no one comes close to Pavarotti so much daylight until the next one.
…….y el pianista, espectacular también
That pianist is really good.
Maravillosa voz.
Excelente tenor, no cualquiera del Bell canto interpreta esta aria, pero con todo respeto el mejor en esta aria fue y será el gran Alfredo Kraus
Es cuestion de gustos, pero a mi parecer es mil veces más auténtico, libre y bello que Florez. Grande Javi!
Ángel Emmanuel Barbeyto para mí mejor es flores..
Es verdad despues de mucho fue el que consiguió doble bis cosas que aún no ha conseguido otro cantante lírico.
Mil respetos para Juan Diego pero Javier actualmente es el #1.
Lo indican los números.

Bella interpretazione. E non intendo solo gli acuti.
Incanta ☺
This aria belongs to Camarena, Florez and Brownlee!
And one day Jonathan Antoine all being well.
21 secolo - il secolo dei tenori tipo - zanzara ...
El atrevimiento vale
Obviously very good but something about his sound is not as sweet as I would love from a light lyric tenor. Just personal preference, with that said would definitely pay to see this man
Well done. Not close to Pavarotti though. He is still the undisputed master of this area.
Yes. But that smile with those dimples! So much expression!😅
Ich perforiere nach wie vor Florez brillante Stimme, klingt nicht so gequetscht
明显能听出来是法国人...

Incluso mejor que Florez!
a mon avis mejor que Flores
Molto meglio di Flores e di tanto. Flores ha una vocetta.
Pavarotti didn't do it any better!
Donizetti should not have written this note, it never sounds good!
Bravo!
