I am so pleased to see Santiago Ballerini included in this list. This is a man that I have had the pleasure of meeting several times and I once sang in masterclass that he gave at my university. He is an immensely talented and underrated present day tenor.
Blake in questa aria è irraggiungibile. Note corpose, bellissimo crescendo, acuti limpidissimi, agilità e fiato infinito. Una tecnica perfetta. Poi il timbro di Florez è sicuramente più piacevole, ma nel complesso Blake è a mio parere il migliore
Rocky is by Far the best here! Especially love the added D 😊😊😊 Florez has high notes, and reasonable technique. However -- he is Not an actor, except at the end of Every Aria -- when he turns to the audience with the goofy "Aren't I Great?" Smile For me....Florez = yawn
While I search constantly for a tenor who can come anywhere near to that of JDF, I continue to think he's a once in a lifetime or perhaps many a lifetime tenor. But Jihoon Son's voice grabbed my attention. The more I listen to him on TH-cam the more I life him!
I find Florez 2 dimensional as a character, with very little acting ability. He only smiles after he "shows off" his "big high note" at the end of a piece, as if to say "yep, I'm great" ....yawn
Definitivamente Blake campeón en rossini sus notas con más cuerpo más potentes crecendos más pronunciados que belleza . Flores y Camarena muy buenos pero hay una versión de esta aria Blake tiene unos años más y su interpretación es realmente inigualable....
Concordo. La voce è possente, ma non credo adatta al "bel canto" di Rossini. Secondo me occorre più grazia e dolcezza, senza far mancare gli acuti da tenore lirico leggero. Juan Diego Florez raggiunge il perfetto equilibrio fra virtuosismo e dolcezza.
I'm a big fan of JD Florez and Lawrence Brownlee but I was very charmed by Chuan Wang. Also, a fairly new tenor isn't in the list, namely Maxim Mironov. The link to his version : th-cam.com/video/Gfo0c7n_Cok/w-d-xo.html
I am a Florez fan but this time Brownlee gets my vote. Perfect! Who is Santiago Ballarini? Never heard of him but he is not only singing great but also fun to watch!

Rockwell это тупо эталон =) но ребята тоже молодцы... я тоже лирический тенор, занимаюсь вокалом больше 15 лет, но эту арию я не пою.. для меня все кто ее спел от начала до конца уже большие молодцы и просто мое уважение =)

as we all know that Rockwell Blake is known as the Rossini Tenor,he didn't earn that for nothing,no one could take that away from him so far.. i listened to Blake,Florez,Camarena,Mironov,Araiza,and every video i found on youtube,..but for this aria i like Ramon Vargas version.
Florez is the best Rossini tenor in history, no doubt. The beauty of the timbre, the agility, the style, legato line, passion, high notes, he has everything.
Florez has the style of old tenors "Aren't I Great?" "Yes, I know, you all want me" And THAT is the Limit of his acting ability. Notes, technique, sure. BORING, SELFISH ON STAGE. ....boring Gets a BIG Yawn from me
Gioachino Rossini: L'Italiana in Algeri Isabella - Marilyn Horne Lindoro - Ernesto Palacio Mustafà - Samuel Ramey Taddeo - Domenico Trimarchi Elvira - Kathleen Battle Zulma - Clara Foti Haly - Nicola Zaccaria Solisti Veneti Orchestra Prague Chorus Conductor: Claudio Scimone rec. 1980(STU) Internet Archive has it, along with a treasure trove of his other recordings. He is a marvelous tenor.
There is an american italian tenor who sung around 700 performances of the Count from Barbiere , and Cenerentola a lot and Fille du Regiment around 50 times . In german
Appears to be an attempt to showcase East Asian tenors…. Where late 20th and early 21st century performance practice has not penetrated. Still singing as if it was the 50’s.
Two Chinese, two South Korean - how is that any different than “showcasing” two Americans? All four of the Asians have been major prize winners, have sung in major US and American houses, and are only in their early 30s. I also call balderdash on your performance practice comment.
El que dijo falta Araiza está en lo cierto .....porque Araiza es mejor que todos me parece......aunque no era un tenor de Re Mi y Fa , solo hasta el Do # lo escuché .....
The same Singer from the beginning- first time with piano accompanying, last one with Orchestra. After winning the First Richard Tucker Scolarship, this is the opera with which Rocky made his Metropolitan Opera debut - with Marilyn Horne, Ara Berberian, Kathleen Battle.
Prettiest voices: Brownlee and Camarena. Technique, competence, command, clear notes, diction, musicality: :Florez and Brownlee. Sorry, guys, but Blake's voice is not right on the note so it sounds too fuzzy.
Is this joke contest ? Here some mediocre tenors , which is still too early to judge, because they have not achieved anything, but no great lèggerò ( Rossini) tenors : Raul Gimenez, Bruce Ford, Luigi Alva, Ernesto Palacio, even young Gregory Kunde! In TH-cam plenty of records.
Ritengo che Blake sia un ottimo tenore rossiniano.

Rocky was a leader in this fach. Without him, would we have Juan Diego, Larry, or Javi?
Absofreakinglutely Agree!!!
Thanks for the great video!
Blake followed by Brownlee for me.
Indubbiamente Juan Diego Florez, la sua voce limpida leggera ma ben timbrata, un legato magnifico e acuti di tutto rispetto mi entusiasmamo sempre.
Me, too!!!
......florez......yawn

Flores y Camarena muy buenos pero hay una versión de esta aria Blake tiene unos años más y su interpretación es realmente inigualable....
Rockwell tiene un fiato increíble. Pero el timbre que siento más bello es el de JDF. Rossini es para un ligero, de voz sin peso, ágil.
Concordo. La voce è possente, ma non credo adatta al "bel canto" di Rossini. Secondo me occorre più grazia e dolcezza, senza far mancare gli acuti da tenore lirico leggero. Juan Diego Florez raggiunge il perfetto equilibrio fra virtuosismo e dolcezza.
I agree.
rockwell canta 100 veces mejor
@@raulfernandezg
Agree!
Me encanta JDF, pero en esta aria Rockwell es soberbio!, dicción y fiato increíble!, además de tener un centro y grave impecable
Florez only wishes he could be as good an actor, as affable/accessible to an audience, and Genuine as Rocky
No Contest
😎😎😊

so true. listen to Maxim when he started in A life for the Czar...on youtube
I am a Florez fan but this time Brownlee gets my vote. Perfect!
Who is Santiago Ballarini? Never heard of him but he is not only singing great but also fun to watch!
i would say the samething Juan Diego Florez
😍
...sorry, i believe you'd be very Wrong
Unfortunately the best is not here. Maestro Araiza, beautifully agile but with a full voice,
FLOREZ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How is it that the exquisite Frank Lopardo isn't included in this video?
Brownlee all day!!!!!!!!!!!!
All day All day 🔥
Rockwellpero todos buenísimos
Juan Diego ; Chuang W. y Camarena son voces muy similares : timbre ; elegancia...voces " orecchiabili" ...🎉
Levy Sekgapane is a star!!
Where is chris merrit, or john osborn?
Aquí faltó Wiliam mateuzzi y Luigi alba
Alva!
JDF WONDERFUL👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
.....yawn

Luigi Alva was the best.
@@r.wagner5409Alva had NO top notes. No high C, and no flexibility.
No hay posible comparación, Blake es inigualable
Florez has the style of old tenors "Aren't I Great?" "Yes, I know, you all want me"
And THAT is the Limit of his acting ability. Notes, technique, sure. BORING, SELFISH ON STAGE.
....boring

JDF!The One and Only!!!❤❤❤❤
Over-full of himself
Can NOT act, and he's Boring
😎😎😎
Temo decir que la version en vivo de Ernesto Palacio se convirtió en un lost media porque no la encuentro en ningun lado.
Gioachino Rossini: L'Italiana in Algeri
Isabella - Marilyn Horne
Lindoro - Ernesto Palacio

Where are Schipa, Lauri-Volpi, and Bruce Ford in this lineup?
Lauri Volpi ? Jajaja cualquier cosa , Volpi cantaba Andrea Chenier y Otello .....
這幾個版本很好❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
최고의 테너입니다.감상잘했습니다,시원합니다
No contest!!! Florez is the best
.......Yawn!

Enrich di Giuseppe.
Levy Sekgapane does it for me...take out Florez, Brownlee of cause lol...
Blake se los come a todos 👏👏
Me robaste el comentario, JAJA!
Absofreakinglutely!
😎😎😎
Aunque apoyo mucho a mi paisano mexicano, sin duda alguna el mejor es Blake.
JDF sensibilidad, dulzura, firmeza, temperamento, no se puede pedir mas.
His acting is 2 dimensional at best, he's only concerned with audience applause at the end
Stiff, inaccessible as an audience
.....Yawn!
Ugo benelli was one of the very best
RB for good! No ultralyric whistlelike singing.. man singing man's song!!
The best is William Matteuzzi！！！
Never cared for his vocal quality. Chris Merritt and Matteuzzi always sounded like roosters in the process of becoming capons!

.....shhhhhh
Rockwell is just singing wide opened. I am sorry this is not classy.
Bull! If he was singing wide open, he would not have lasted 10 minutes, much less a career of more than 25 years. You armchair critics…
What???
What an odd and ridiculous statement...lolllol
Classy?
What in the World are you talking about?
