Blake es el rey de los tenores rossinianos de los últimos tiempos, sin desmeritar otros muy buenos también, la voz de Blake tiene un encanto particular, excelente proyección vocal, dinámicas perfectas, carisma excepcional con los personajes que interpreta, en síntesis un cantante consumado. BRAVO MAESTRO BLAKE!!👏👏👏
modesto simpatico e straordinario, questo mi ricordo di lui io che ho avuto la fortuna di lavorarci insieme: "faccio sempre galina" era simpaticissimo!!!
Well, Omar... I do like Francisco Araiza very much, and praise him for his repertoire, which was wider than Rocky's... But, frankly, to be perfectly fair... could you upload the same Aria performed by Araiza? As far as I remember, he simply avoided it, during the 1980 Aix production: so... the debate is over! Very... very few singers are, or have ever been able to master this dreadful and nightmarish aria... This is also probably what makes Rocky's way of singing both so exciting, and so strange. No question Araiza could display a fantastic sense of vocal colour... but he was simply no match with Rocky, as far as speed and precision of coloratura is concerned...
Questa magnifica aria è così ardua da cantare che solo pochissimi la hanno affrontata. Spesso era tagliata nell' esecuzione della Semiramide. Peccato il non pregiato timbro di Blake, altrimenti, per la sua abilità tecnica, sarebbe stata perfetta.
Francisco Araiza is out of place here. In this rossinian repertoire Blake is absolutely superior. The comparison with Araiza it does not make sense here.
The discussion about Araiza is ridiculous. Araiza could not sing fast and short notes which is necessary in many Rossini operas. Not many tenors can sing that but for sure Blake could. In Rossini repertoire Araiza is not even close to Blake.

The best Ah dové il cimento i´ve ever hear...
Grande!!!
Straordinario!!! Non superato da nessuno in questo repertorio rossiniano (così come in * Terra amica ", di Zelmira).
Il più grande tenore rossiniano degli ultimi cinquant'anni!
Perfection of voice!!! Thanks Maestro.
Un genio. Increible
Very nice work ,thank you for sharing it
El mejor que a interpretado rosini
Primo tenore assoluto!!!
Él y Merritt, los únicos. Perfectos no, pero insuperados sí. No tuvieron sucesores.
of course i have, and i like him very much.

Agree with opfab 1000 percent.....

Then you know Araiza is def. more technically proficient lol His voice actually has color, warmth and I would say he's more musical than Rocky
6:59 WTF
This leaves all the rossini tenors far away behind on both techique and musicality, as well as on creativity.
You've obviously never heard of Francisco Araiza lol
