Fleming, Villazon, Bruson - Di Sprezzo Degno! "La Traviata"

Renée Fleming as Violeta, Rollando Villazón as Alfredo and Renato Bruson as Germont singing the end of the first scene from the third act of Verdi's La Traviata. Conductor James Conlon, Los Angeles Opera, 2006

I was there in the audience for this, and I will NEVER EVER forget it - utter perfection in the marriage of theater and music. In the recording Villazon and Bruson sound powerful, and Fleming sounds light and lyric. In reality, in the house, Bruson and Villazon sounded lyric and sometimes muted (especially Villazon). But when Fleming came in with her interjection in the middle of that scene - her voice rang so purely and beautifully, it absolutely filled the entire house. It was breathtaking.

Omg, when Renee comes in at "Alfredo, Alfredo.." you are swept away in the utter beauty of her voice. I love it. I want this DVD!

[@disneylandman66]

Bruson is and was always so marvelous.

[@user-ry9zf5fp4v]

Какой Baritono!

[@MadonnaImperia]

@phronie125 I agree, he's absolutely marvellous. No big gestures physically or vocally, but he has such presence!

lindo pasaje

[@EuSuntVoievodVlad]

His voice may not be what it used to be when he was ten or more years younger, but please, present me with a singer his age with equal musical and dramatical abilities. I really can't see why you feel compelled to insult an artist who is indeed past is prime, but definatly not living on past glory.

[@aragall77]

I don`t know what to say. I wanted to write "I am not a Fleming fan but...". But I am a Fleming fan actually.

[@111Jabberwocky]

Good God, Alfredo!

[@operadoc]

lovely although a bit too slow

[@nelsonlswong]

Good guess! Throwing down the gloves means "I challenge you to a duel".

[@FabyEDDMAC]

Sarebbe carino seguire i tempi scritti da Verdi....

[@jorgealbertojoselettera4829]

Hermosa, dulce y excelentemente cantada la Violetta de Fleming. Lástima todo demasiado lento.

[@EuSuntVoievodVlad]

I am sorry my nickname misguided you, but I am Italian, not Romanian; my understanding of Romanian is very limited (at best), so can you please rewrite your answer in English (anyone would then be able to follow), Italian or French (or at least Spanish), so that I can get your point fully? Thank you

[@TrendynatoR]

Actually,LadyArmide is the end of the second scene from the SECOND act...fix that!nice video btw...!!!

[@radames5855]

Ho ascoltato ora Bastianini...

[@user-ry9zf5fp4v]

Я слушаю именно его в Травиата 1955 года с Ди Стефано и Каллас..там был триумф троицы,гений режиссёр.Голос Бастианини там идеальный, баритон веков

[@romearomeo]

Va bene...a fare i confronti con i tre mostri sacri Callas/ Di Stefano/ Bastianini è come voler provare a mutare acqua in vino...ormai altri tempi...altre voci...altra tecnica vocale...altri ascoltatori...altre orecchie...ecc

[@radames5855]

Io non ho fatto nessun confronto...ho scritto che ho ascoltato Bastianini.​@@romearomeo

[@Y2H]

T´as raison.

[@jojolaterreur1]

Moi aussi, ma scène favorite, bien chantée, mais lent, trop lent surtout au début, dommage.

[@verdi17]

tan mal canta que a todos les gusta, me pregunto si tu cantas tan bien o mas bien dicho tan exelente valga la redundancia como para dar criticas...........

[@pavarottithebest]

Come canta male Villanzon,mi piace più Bruson a 72 anni ke lui.Vergogna questi sono i tenori di oggi.Andate a casa
