I don’t know since when Placido switched to baritone, eventually due to aging he needs to switch. With Dimash, I am sure he can do much better if he wanted to 😊
Beautiful duet! And yesterday I listened to this piece of art performed by maestro Placido with my beloved artist from Kazakhstan Dimash Qudaibergen and I am simply delighted! 😍🔥👏👏👏
Hermosa versión con estos grandes cantantes, también empiezo a disfrutarla con Plácido Domingo y mi querido y admirado Dimash Kudaibergen, grandioso y bello como mi Dimash
Eu estou aqui assistindo esse dueto depois de assistir o dueto lindíssimo de Plácido Domingo e o nosso amado Dimash. Ambos dueto maravilhosos, mas prefiro o do Plácido Domingo e Dimash 😁🤗🥰
This piece never fails to bring me to tears. To see and hear these two greats, in their gilded years, proves that music is immortal and the people who make it are gods.
My Mum knew nothing about Opera she was English,didn't speak a word of Italian,but she loved this however.She had a tragic and short life but this tune made her so happy,It makes me cry when ever I hear it.God bless you Mum I'm sorry I wasn't there when you needed me the most.I wish you were still here Mum.
It’s French, not Italian. You never get tired of this aria sung by so many tremendous singers. I’m 93 and have known and heard some of the most gifted singers. Thank you.
Love it! Had never heard this song before. As I watched the performance, though, I suddenly realized that Andrea Bocelli (my favorite tenor) has had to memorize everything! I know most singers etc. do, but seeing Placido Domingo use music sheets just reminded me of it.
MyWonderful brother-in-law introduced me to my favourite duet ever! Unfortunately, he died a month ago but l will always be so thankful to him for giving me this beautiful duet to remind me of him. Fly high Johnny as high as you possibly can.We will always love you.x❤
Super super mooi.Heel emotioneel wordt ik hier van.Wat een super getalenteerde opera zangers zijn dit.Zij strelen min gehoor met hun geweldige mooie stemmen.Bravo en groot applaus hiervoor en hartelijke dank.👏👏👏👏✨💫🌟💎💎❤️❤️💞💞💞💖💖💖💐💐💐💐
SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! Just wish my computer was louder for my dad who is 94+ and his hearing not that great. Nothing is better than these melodious tunes in opera. My Mom is 91 but her hearing is still good.
Stunning! The love & friendship between these 2 living legends adds an immeasurable spiritual dimension to the music. Their singing will touch millions during & after their time on this earth - BUT who will remember the mendacity of spirit of those with no name recognition & little talent who only criticize on You Tube lol Most of us are grateful for this posting.
I have heard much opera and other music throughout my nearly 70 years. There is nothing more beautiful to me than this particular duet. Sung by these two men, there is nothing more incredibly beautiful. I dissolve in tears at the unearthly beauty.
Bocelli is and always will be a third class "tenor" .Sung here for the money only.While Domingo is certainly no "baritone", again only for the money.Open your ears people.
I have just lost my brother-in-law recently, and it is through him that l came to know this beautiful duet. I absolutely love it. Thank you Johnny and RIP to you, with much love from us.x❤
This is one of my favourite operatic duets. Having said that the version I first heard many years ago was that from Jussi Bjorling and Robert Merrill and to my mind (and ear) that set the standard for me. Of course individual tastes differ which is why I take absolutely no notice of music critics!
To share Ben's higher wish to be heard at his memorial In all the years gone bye, I cry for me and for those who were able to receive the gifts of his soul .
What a beautiful song and performance,just lifts my soul and I can remember my Mum listening to this song when I was growing up in the 80s.My Dad brought her the single and she was so emotional listening to it,never got it then but I do now in 2021❤️
Oh ! Thank you so very much for enabling people like myself to be able to see and hear such beautiful strong Opera singers , I used to go to Covent Garden and Glyndbourne in my youth but always alone because my friends wouldn't come as they were more Pop---Rock fan's which I also enjoyed . I kept all the Programmes and still treasure them ..so grateful to feel young at heart with a desire to learn even though I am 70yrs old , Placido Domingo and the incredibly talented miracle of Andrea Bocelli . When Coronavirus enables me to travel I shall finish my own " Bucket List " and travel to Italy once more. .God Willing .
This performance was part of a memorial for the Maestro Pavarotti!! Domingo and Bocelli gave a Bravo performance I thought!! Well done and Thank You!! ....2018
My message to the "expert" critics is that instead of analyzing and criticizing the different aspects of this performance and tearing it apart ask yourself just one question: Do you enjoy it? Does it gives you pleasure? If no, than just turn it off and listen to something else, and be quiet.
+George Marton This is very enjoyable in its own right. I don't much care if Domingo is not a true basso/baritone. I do admit that the Bjoerling/Merrill version is superior, but I liked this, mainly because I just love this aria.
Interprétation inaudible, non maîtrise du Français, une véritable cacophonie pour ceux qui ont écouté Les Pêcheurs de Perles interprété par l'inoubliable Alain Vanzo ou, Robero Alagna...cette interprétation de Domingo et Bocelli est un pur Massacre de la langue française, indigne de telles pointures
Bocelli has actually a very poor voice by operatic standards. Now that he has lured you in, look into the myriad of great tenors available on record and widen your knowledge. When you've listened - really listened - to a couple of dozen of the greats then you can re-evaluate Bocelli.
@@edwardkerrigan5356 Well said! There are such amazing tenors, Bjorling, Pavaroti, Gilgi, Caruso, di Stefano, Frans Wunderlich and so many more! An absolute treasure grove of more beautiful voices! Bjorling being my personal favorite though!
@@ramonavandermerwe1159 Yes, Bjorling is one of the greats, but my actual favourite is Jan Peerce, whose sheer quality and consistency of tone throughout his whole range is utterly exceptional.
Too many "whiny posters" here! This performance may not be the very best (over the past 500 years). But...for those who ARE truly knowlegable, this performance really does "hold it's own" quite nicely!! Now....let's quit complaining and enjoy the music.
You just had to spoil all the beautiful comments. NOONE here has been negative but you. I can't believe that even in a beautiful venue like this, someone as unsightly and unpleasant as you has to come here to spoil it for everyone else. NOONE here has demeaned Placido & Bocelli whom we all love. Scram! You idiot!
"over the past 500 years". At the time of (my) writing, in 2020, the opera had been written only 157 years ago (so, for the OP, only 151 years). To be fair, the previous 349 years would have (trivially) held no better recordings. So there is a sense in which "the past 500 years" is true. But it might as well have been "the last 4 billion years".
Disappointed to see a lot of opera snob comments attacking Bocelli, who, IMO, here sings in an adequately operatic style and pulls off this difficult tenor part perfectly well. Some people said he shouldn't do it because he's not an "opera singer", because he doesn't sing in whole operas - but he's not trying to sing in a whole opera here, just perform a piece in a concert, so what's the problem? I also saw someone saying Domingo singing the baritone part was gimmicky - they obviously didn't know he's performed as a baritone a number of times in the last few years, as, at his age, and never a high tenor, he now finds it easier, which is perfectly fine too. I actually fine it quite humble of him to do this popular piece and leave the showier tenor part to his less highly thought of (by opera fans) partner.
***** I already said that. What I meant was it could be seen as quite humble for him to do this piece, which tends to set off the tenor voice particularly well (whoever is singing it) - when he has always been known for his great tenor singing in the past - as opposed to just doing baritone solos or singing duos with female partners etc.
Bocelli couldn't perform in a full opera even if he wanted to because of his blindness. He can't read music so he has to feel the music out with his hearing and interpret it as best as he can. In the upper register he is amazing, he has the Lyric range that Pavarotti had but less powerful, however his mid and lower registers develop an unauthodox wobbly vibrato and his voice becomes thin and strangled. I found opera elitist snobbery the lowest of the lows, most of these so-called expert critics have never sang a note in their lives never mind attempt to sing opera so my advice to them is unless you can go up on stage and sing better then someone like Bocelli or any other Tenor you like to scrutinise then shut the hell up!
One of the best renditions of this I have ever heard live was 20 years ago at Wymondham College UK. Mr Glover and Mr Bell....you blew us all away. Just wow 😯
Love it! It always amazes me that most singers/opera singers need to look at lyric sheets, teleprompters, etc. but since Andrea Bocelli can't, he always has everything memorized perfectly. He's incredible!
Um, no. The vast majority of opera singers are word perfect by the the time of performance. They don't use teleprompters. Where there are screens its to see the composer in the orchestra pit.
Well, to be fair, Domingo will have the tenor part memorised, having played the part in 1964. And at this writing he has memorised the baritone part, as he played that role in 2018.
What amazes me though is that he had to learn the lyrics (even in a foreign language in this case), pitches, rhythms for all the songs he sings all by just listening and without anything to look at. And to be fair, extremely rarely had I seen Bocelli forgets about lyrics on stage. Considering the wide range of songs he sings, that is an accomplishment in itself.
@@stefanierohan667 I love how he has taken on major baritone roles as he gets older and his voice changes. I wonder how it feels to perform with someone else singing "his" part.
Stunning! Let us teach Maduro and Guaidó in Venezuela this beaitiful aria, let us immerse them in the realm of real brotherhood through these sublime lyrics; maybe, that way they shall aquire true patriotism, and will finally start making their nation great.
Estoy encantada y maravillada de tanta música que quisiera poder escucharla toda sólo que me hace falta tiempo pero me sirve de relax antes de ir a descansar.Gracias Plácido por tantos regalos que acabo de descubrir y me llena de felicidad a cambio le pido a Dios que te de mucha salud a ti y a todos los tuyos.Mucha suerte con toda mi admiración
@@brookeggleston9314 you do realise that by definition, your reason is misdirected? You are actually saying that, because I asked someone who was heavily criticising this music, if they could do better? And by doing so, I thereby portend to be able to! Maybe, you should ask the person who said, the performers savagely destroyed this music if they assume they can do any better... My point exactly. Stop means STOP where I'm from, and so does BELL END

Absolutely spectacular. I’m ashamed to say I’ve never heard Andrea Bocelli’s voice until now. This was a very emotional and beautiful piece of music. Plácido Domingo - my god, I could listen to him all day. I’ve always been a big fan of music. Italian opera, classical, Baroque, Renaissance- it never ceases to amaze me. I got chills listening to this.
Seit meinen Jugendjahren begleitet mich diese Duett durchs Leben.Über 50 Jahre bin ich auf der Suche nach der perfekten Interpretation. Ich kenne alle Darbietungen dieses Duettes und muss leider sagen, dass viele Menschen offensichtlich dieses Duett nur wegen der Namen Domingo und Bocelli anklicken. Wenn jemand diese Interpretation von Domingo/Bocelli hervor- ragend findet hat er wahrscheinlich noch keine Vergleichsversion von anderen Künstlern gehört.Das Duett der beiden ist absolutes Mittelmaß, Domingo ein schwacher Bariton und Bocelli fehlt als Tenor sehr viel zur Klasse eines Alfredo Kraus oder Jussi Björling. Es gibt zwei überragende Interpretationen zu diesem Duett was die künstlerische Darbietung und Harmonie anbetrifft. Viele haben schon die Namen Jussi Björling /Robert Merrill genannt, damit bin ich absolut einverstanden, das ist mein 2. Platz, aber noch besser 1. Platz, die unübertreffliche, göttliche Version von dem in der Musikbranche sträflich vernachlässigten Tenor Alfredo Kraus mit dem Bariton Barry McDaniel in der Version von 1970. Übrigens wenn ich ich hier in TH-cam die vielen Gesangsdarbietungen aller großen Tenöre vergleiche und eine Wertung abgeben müsste, ist für mich eindeutig der Tenor der Tenöre Alfredo Kraus.
Elzbieta Frey , Tenor der Tenöre, ist bei den ganz Großen immer noch eine Frage der persönlichen Vorlieben. Domingo ist hier schon jenseits von gut und böse, Bocelli singt eintönig mit dem kleinen Stimmchen. Es ist interessant zu sehen was Künstler so machen wenn die Kasse stimmt. Die Lobhudelei Kommentare, kommen von eingefleischten Fans, die Alles und Jedes toll finden. Domingo ist nicht mehr gut und Klassik von Bocelli ist nur was für Liebhaber, Schmuselieder ist Sein Genre.
@@ursmue1937 Ich kann Ihre Kommentare nur unterstützen, habe noch keine schlechtere Version dieses wirklich schönen Duetts gehört. Domingo versucht sich auf seine alten Tage nochmal als Baritone, was er nicht ist, er kann keinen tiefen Töne und die hohen kann er auch nicht mehr. Über Bocelli wäre jeder Kommentar fehl am Platz, er ist und war noch nie ein Tenor, allenfalls ein Schnulzensänger, aber nicht geeignet für Oper: vielleicht sollten Sie mal diese Version anhören:th-cam.com/video/p2MwnHpLV48/w-d-xo.html
@@DrFranz-xm1nh - 😛 Das habe ich schon einige Male gehört, aus heutiger Sicht, ist Jonas Kaufmann meine Nr.1 zu D.H. kann ich nur sagen Einmalig. Habe Kaufmann in der Berliner Philharmonie live erlebt, er ist super, nur das Programm hat mir nicht so zugesagt, Wien, Wien, egal, bin trotzdem ins Konzert gegangen, oft wird man in Berlin Kaufmann nicht haben, er hat zu viel Verpflichtungen weltweit. Grüße und Alles Gute.
Domingo is a vocal miracle who started his career as a teen in Mexico City as a baritone, so history repeats itself, and he sounds wonderful as tenore and as baritone. so lovely. so versatile ! WOW ! Bravo, Placido !
Being a critic must be the easiest job. You go to a cafe, order your soy latte frappe cappuccino, pull out your computer and write glowing reviews for those who paid you to and dump scurrilous drivel on those who didn't.
What absolute rubbish - you don't need to be a trained singer - although I actually am - to tell a good voice from a poor one, and Bocellis voice is poor.
Such a beautiful feeling when I listen to these two incredible voices. Hope Andrea & Placido have both shared the true love and passion they sing about in their own lives. Thank you TH-cam for bringing such joy to all.
One of the greatest operatic duets ever composed, the beautiful and powerful duet from "The Pearl Fishers" by Bizet. This is an outstanding performance by two of operas greatest tenors, Placido Domingo and Andrea Bocelli.
There is always going to be opinion differences on just about everything including this duet performance. I have heard the other one that you believe is superior and really it’s just a matter of taste. In this his case I don’t agree or disagree. Both are excellent.
@@edwardkerrigan5356 Oh oh, an expert has appeared from the netherworld of TH-cam trolls 👿 to instruct us all on how knowledge he is regarding opera and its artists. Oh great one please disappear back from wench you came so that we may hear from you no more.
@@Brace67 When did I say I was an expert - although I obviously know as much, if not more than you about the subject? Everyone is allowed to express a personal opinion, which is really what we are talking about, even me. How many of the great tenors have you listened to, incidentally? Could you name some of them? If you have really LISTENED to some of the greats you would know that Bocelli's voice is poor by comparison. By the way the word is 'whence'.
dit was het lied van mijn vader lang geleden toen hij nog leefde als hij bedroeft was wilde hij niets anders als naar dit prachtige lied luisteren en ja zo vader zo zoon groetjes curacao
The humility of the man brings me to tears! Bravo Mr Domingo! I wonder how hard it was for him NOT to break into the tenor part, which he would have sung HUNDREDS of times by 2013. Bravissimi!
Hayer once de Junio ,en plena Pandemia ,se jugó la final de Italia ,y Bocelli canto Nesunn y tuvo mucho éxito como no podía ser de otra manera ...un abrazo desde Santander España te queremos ...
I came here to see Pearl Fishers duets in anticipation of Dimash and Placido Domingo duet tomorrow 01.19.2024!
Me too..😂
Yes, I also wanted to know the difference in duets. Placido switched roles
I don’t know since when Placido switched to baritone, eventually due to aging he needs to switch. With Dimash, I am sure he can do much better if he wanted to 😊
Yes meastro P Domingo {Nadir} bariton ,greets from nederland
Me too
Beautiful duet! And yesterday I listened to this piece of art performed by maestro Placido with my beloved artist from Kazakhstan Dimash Qudaibergen and I am simply delighted! 😍🔥👏👏👏
I totally agree.
O dueto do Plácido Domingo e Dimash é mais emocionante, pelo para mim, pois chegou ao meu coração, fiquei muito emocionada.
Hermosa versión con estos grandes cantantes, también empiezo a disfrutarla con Plácido Domingo y mi querido y admirado Dimash Kudaibergen, grandioso y bello como mi Dimash

@@Mikep487 hahaha the almighty…who is that? A myth!
I love the fact that at their age, especially Domingo, they still sound amazing!!!!
My Mum knew nothing about Opera she was English,didn't speak a word of Italian,but she loved this however.She had a tragic and short life but this tune made her so happy,It makes me cry when ever I hear it.God bless you Mum I'm sorry I wasn't there when you needed me the most.I wish you were still here Mum.
It’s French, not Italian. You never get tired of this aria sung by so many tremendous singers. I’m 93 and have known and heard some of the most gifted singers. Thank you.
Love it! Had never heard this song before. As I watched the performance, though, I suddenly realized that Andrea Bocelli (my favorite tenor) has had to memorize everything! I know most singers etc. do, but seeing Placido Domingo use music sheets just reminded me of it.
А теперь Димаш 💕💕💕💕
This song always brings back memories of my father, who died 50 years ago, when I was 15. It always takes me back to a time when he was here. ❤️
Peace and blessings to you and your Father.
he was so young, sorry for your loss
Sorry for Your loss at such a young and pivotal year.
We never forget love do we? I’m sorry you lost your dad when you were so young ❤

This piece has lifted my heart and soul for over 60 years . Yes I have heard it sung better , differently and worse but the music is amazing
Modern music needs to take a lesson from the classics. Opera and Classical have nothing to fear of modern music. Always will be my choice.
This brings peace and healing to a tired and broken soul! Breathtakingly beautiful!
agree
🙏
The right moment for me to hear this.
SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! Just wish my computer was louder for my dad who is 94+ and his hearing not that great. Nothing is better than these melodious tunes in opera. My Mom is 91 but her hearing is still good.
This song duet, has always touch my heart.❤️And the opera is magic!
Can’t stand the critics. Enjoy the moment , and where the music takes you, for heavens sake !,,! ,!,

A very emotional piece even if you have no understanding of the text.
I adore this aria, no matter who sings it. Thank you so much.❤

De mooiste stemmen die het mooiste duet aller tijden zingen. Alles komt bij elkaar.
I love this duet so much it makes me cry.Well done.
Oh, me too.
One of my FAVORITES.
This reaches my inner soul! So beautiful. Sob, sob.
Ich muss auch heulen , wenn ich das höre und dabei an Björling denke 😛
When you know the story of the opera it speaks volumes xx
This is one of my favourite operatic duets. Having said that the version I first heard many years ago was that from Jussi Bjorling and Robert Merrill and to my mind (and ear) that set the standard for me. Of course individual tastes differ which is why I take absolutely no notice of music critics!
I agree. Of the later interpretations I love Hvorostovsky and Kaufmann, very moving.
All three performances are indeed extraordinary, but the one I have always found the best was that by Alfredo Kraus and
....and Barry Mc Daniel
That was a magic performance.

Estoy encantada y maravillada de tanta música que quisiera poder escucharla toda sólo que me hace falta tiempo pero me sirve de relax antes de ir a descansar.Gracias Plácido por tantos regalos que acabo de descubrir y me llena de felicidad a cambio le pido a Dios que te de mucha salud a ti y a todos los tuyos.Mucha suerte con toda mi admiración
This is just wonderful
Amazing! I had the opportunity to see this performance live great song
It makes us cry! Thanks a lot for posting this amazing aria from the Haven!!!
Superb singing. I love their voices, and could never grow weary of them. They have brought so much to the music world. Brilliant!
What time do you go back in your cell
For my late closest friend, John, who loved this and introduced me to it
Thank you so much for sharing. My heart goes out to you and your loved ones. “X” parsons
You are not alone
Magnificent music and a performance to match. I play it over and over.
one of my favourites
What a great duet, by two amazing singers! Placido is 72 yrs old at the time of this... wow...
A seventy two year old savaging a two hundred year old aria don't know what bocceli is doing abyssmal
@@davidevans3133 could you do better then?
@@Happyheart146 You assume the fallacy that you must be able to do it, in order to know how it should be done. BASTA!!🦅
@@brookeggleston9314 no, you assumed I was assuming, merely my asking if the critique could do better. Get a grip!
@@brookeggleston9314 you do realise that by definition, your reason is misdirected? You are actually saying that, because I asked someone who was heavily criticising this music, if they could do better? And by doing so, I thereby portend to be able to!
Maybe, you should ask the person who said, the performers savagely destroyed this music if they assume they can do any better...
My point exactly.
Stop means STOP where I'm from, and so does BELL END
loved this. love them both. i almost like placido better as a baritone especially in his golden years
This music give me joy in heart ⭐
Domingo and Bocelli...Fisher Duet...Magical...thank you every so much
Thank you, music truly lives
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for making this available to me and others who share the same love of beautiful music. Kathryn Stager, Hawi, Hi

Absolutely spectacular. I’m ashamed to say I’ve never heard Andrea Bocelli’s voice until now. This was a very emotional and beautiful piece of music. Plácido Domingo - my god, I could listen to him all day. I’ve always been a big fan of music. Italian opera, classical, Baroque, Renaissance- it never ceases to amaze me. I got chills listening to this.

You haven't missed much - Bocelli doesn't compare with the operatic greats.
Heavenly music sung magnificently!
P. Domingo & A. Bocelli , ---El Pescador de Perlas, preciosa Aria.
Let only music caress your hearts fans & never let any evil dare to harm you guys ❤🎉❤
This piece always gives me goosebumps.
this is a full bodied aria of incredible power.
You're kidding?
Seit meinen Jugendjahren begleitet mich diese Duett durchs Leben.Über 50 Jahre bin ich auf der Suche nach der perfekten
Interpretation. Ich kenne alle Darbietungen dieses Duettes und muss leider sagen, dass viele Menschen offensichtlich dieses
Duett nur wegen der Namen Domingo und Bocelli anklicken. Wenn jemand diese Interpretation von Domingo/Bocelli hervor-
ragend findet hat er wahrscheinlich noch keine Vergleichsversion von anderen Künstlern gehört.Das Duett der beiden ist
absolutes Mittelmaß, Domingo ein schwacher Bariton und Bocelli fehlt als Tenor sehr viel zur Klasse eines Alfredo Kraus
oder Jussi Björling. Es gibt zwei überragende Interpretationen zu diesem Duett was die künstlerische Darbietung und
Harmonie anbetrifft. Viele haben schon die Namen Jussi Björling /Robert Merrill genannt, damit bin ich absolut einverstanden,
das ist mein 2. Platz, aber noch besser 1. Platz, die unübertreffliche, göttliche Version von dem in der Musikbranche sträflich
vernachlässigten Tenor Alfredo Kraus mit dem Bariton Barry McDaniel in der Version von 1970. Übrigens wenn ich ich hier
in TH-cam die vielen Gesangsdarbietungen aller großen Tenöre vergleiche und eine Wertung abgeben müsste, ist für mich
eindeutig der Tenor der Tenöre Alfredo Kraus.
Elzbieta Frey , Tenor der Tenöre, ist bei den ganz Großen immer noch eine Frage der persönlichen Vorlieben. Domingo ist hier schon jenseits von gut und böse, Bocelli singt eintönig mit dem kleinen Stimmchen. Es ist interessant zu sehen was Künstler so machen wenn die Kasse stimmt. Die Lobhudelei Kommentare, kommen von eingefleischten Fans, die Alles und Jedes toll finden. Domingo ist nicht mehr gut und Klassik von Bocelli ist nur was für Liebhaber, Schmuselieder ist Sein Genre.
@@ursmue1937 Ich kann Ihre Kommentare nur unterstützen, habe noch keine schlechtere Version dieses wirklich schönen Duetts gehört. Domingo versucht sich auf seine alten Tage nochmal als Baritone, was er nicht ist, er kann keinen tiefen Töne und die hohen kann er auch nicht mehr. Über Bocelli wäre jeder Kommentar fehl am Platz, er ist und war noch nie ein Tenor, allenfalls ein Schnulzensänger, aber nicht geeignet für Oper: vielleicht sollten Sie mal diese Version anhören:th-cam.com/video/p2MwnHpLV48/w-d-xo.html
@@DrFranz-xm1nh - 😛 Das habe ich schon einige Male gehört, aus heutiger Sicht, ist Jonas Kaufmann meine Nr.1 zu D.H. kann ich nur sagen Einmalig. Habe Kaufmann in der Berliner Philharmonie live erlebt, er ist super, nur das Programm hat mir nicht so zugesagt, Wien, Wien, egal, bin trotzdem ins Konzert gegangen, oft wird man in Berlin Kaufmann nicht haben, er hat zu viel Verpflichtungen weltweit. Grüße und Alles Gute.
Wonderful. Thank you both 🎉
Each of them have there unique voice and all fabulous. A opera singer from Malta is very very good also. His name is Joseph Calleja.
"there" for sure...
Domingo is a vocal miracle who started his career as a teen in Mexico City as a baritone, so history repeats itself, and he sounds wonderful as tenore and as baritone. so lovely. so versatile ! WOW ! Bravo, Placido !
baritone?? I don't think so,by any stretch of the imagination
Nah, he doesn't NASAL KING!!!
Das Miracle ist, Domingo kann nicht aufhören 😂
@@pauldeanify Domingo is NOT a baritone and I have no idea how he gets away with it.
XxVoice power , beautiful , I love this duet
A hidden gem, so glad I found this, thankyou !!
The critics are the ones who can't sing a single note. Just enjoy the moment and the gifts Placido and Andrea are sharing with us with love.
Being a critic must be the easiest job. You go to a cafe, order your soy latte frappe cappuccino, pull out your computer and write glowing reviews for those who paid you to and dump scurrilous drivel on those who didn't.
@@Tempusverum And what do you do that is so much superior?
What absolute rubbish - you don't need to be a trained singer - although I actually am - to tell a good voice from a poor one, and Bocellis voice is poor.
@@edwardkerrigan5356 I look forward to hearing you sing.
@@eugenefromaustralia4644 Too late, I'm afraid - I am ancient now.
Such a beautiful feeling when I listen to these two incredible voices. Hope Andrea & Placido have both shared the true love and passion they sing about in their own lives. Thank you TH-cam for bringing such joy to all.
So nice listening to these two singing together. √ √ 👌👍
One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed and sung
the first part is right, but the singers are terrible, neither a baritone nor atenor for opera : listen th-cam.com/video/p2MwnHpLV48/w-d-xo.html
Beautiful duet!
One of the greatest operatic duets ever composed, the beautiful and powerful duet from "The Pearl Fishers" by Bizet. This is an outstanding performance by two of operas greatest tenors, Placido Domingo and Andrea Bocelli.
A better version of this is the recording with Jussi Björling and Robert Merrill.
th-cam.com/video/5PYt2HlBuyI/w-d-xo.html
There is always going to be opinion differences on just about everything including this duet performance. I have heard the other one that you believe is superior and really it’s just a matter of taste. In this his case I don’t agree or disagree. Both are excellent.
You think Bocelli is one of opera's 'greatest tenors'? You obviously haven't listened to many then?
@@edwardkerrigan5356 Oh oh, an expert has appeared from the netherworld of TH-cam trolls 👿 to instruct us all on how knowledge he is regarding opera and its artists. Oh great one please disappear back from wench you came so that we may hear from you no more.
@@Brace67 When did I say I was an expert - although I obviously know as much, if not more than you about the subject? Everyone is allowed to express a personal opinion, which is really what we are talking about, even me. How many of the great tenors have you listened to, incidentally? Could you name some of them? If you have really LISTENED to some of the greats you would know that Bocelli's voice is poor by comparison. By the way the word is 'whence'.
dit was het lied van mijn vader lang geleden toen hij nog leefde als hij bedroeft was wilde hij niets anders als naar dit prachtige lied luisteren en ja zo vader zo zoon groetjes curacao
Fantastic. Thank you for posting.
Why does this this always bring tears to my eyes?
The humility of the man brings me to tears! Bravo Mr Domingo! I wonder how hard it was for him NOT to break into the tenor part, which he would have sung HUNDREDS of times by 2013. Bravissimi!
Too true , Andrea didn't let him down either. Can we take a piece with us? Well this would be it , for me.
Beyond beautiful. For ever.
Hayer once de Junio ,en plena Pandemia ,se jugó la final de Italia ,y Bocelli canto Nesunn y tuvo mucho éxito como no podía ser de otra manera ...un abrazo desde Santander España te queremos ...
Que maravilloso , reunidos dos grandes de la música lírica
Unicos fantastico duo inigualables
Wow! Domingo singing baritone is superb! And of course Bocelli’s tenor is always wonderful!
Domingo is a Fantastic tenor !!! Totally misses the point of the aria, nice but 2 Tenors competing
@@andrewkoltavary1183 Domingo was a good tenor - as a baritone he is very poor.
Lovely duets Thank you!
