I saw Milnes live performing the role of Don Giovanni in Caracas (Venezuela). That was a few years ago, but will never forget his powerful and compelling performance. For me one of the best baritone of all time.
Cosa si può dire di due meraviglie così??? Loro e la loro arte sono la testimonianza che Dio esiste! Grazie Milnes e Grazie Alfredo (il più grande tenore del '900 per me)
Your devotion to keeping the conductor misidentified in the Description is impressive. Milnes is the greatest baritone of all time, a colossus among giants.
I was fortunate to be able to sing with Mr Milnes years ago when I was performing in local music venues in Phoenix. A memorable time for me. Wonderful gentleman.
I heard Milnes in concert in the early 70's. Not only a great voice, but so vivid interpretations I knew what he was saying even before I knew the arias. And after all those exciting arias he ended with a mellow, non opera voice singing Shenandoah. I imagine to calm us after all the excitement.
Quite superb! Was this from one of the Richard Tucker galas? Certainly Bonynge was a master of the French style. I enjoyed many Kraus and Milnes performances at Covent Garden from 1980 onwards and in fact Kraus sang outstandingly until his death, and without transposition.
I SIT BEHIND MILNES AT TAMPA BAY PERFORMING OPERA' ONCE MENTIONED TO HIM, THAT YEARS AGO, WHEN HE WAS 1ST STARTING OUT, I SAW HIM PERFORM AT N.Y.C. OPERA. HE LOOKED AT ME WITH CONTEMPT CAUSE HE WASN'T MET YET F. HIM
Never heard them together Like Schipa the voice of Kraus is small but cuts like a laser and is more audible than the bigger voice of Milnes. A great singing lesson here. Placement Placement Placement !
Wrong, wrong, wrong. I heard both at SF Opera many times. It was Milnes who had a disappointingly small sound compared with the other great baritones then singing like MacNeil or Wixell. Kraus was very damn easy to hear. Clear, focused, and he sang in the right fach for him. Both were at the high end of their respective ranges.
@@samueljaramillo4221 I had expected more. The first time I heard him live was in Thais. He was a high baritone and that is a low baritone part. People who heard him told me he was sensational in Rigoletto. But I also heard him in Ernani which should have been a good part for him. and he was pale. SF Opera is a big and not very flattering hall. Bergonzi for example sounded quite weak there. He was better in smaller European halls. The best tenors in SF were guys like Vickers, King or Corelli. I only heard a few operas at the Met. I think it has better acoustics than SF. But I was responding to mostly to the comment that Kraus had a small voice. I heard Kraus quite few times and he sounded fine. Of course he sang only roles that were appropriate for him. But I never thought of him as having a small voice.
@@samueljaramillo4221 It was in Ernani that I remembered him.. It might have been because Plishka was so good that evening and the bass role is high. So it came across as two baritones. Milnes suffered in the comparison.
@@Agorante Singers have bad nights. They’re not going to be in good voice in every performance . The public tends to make demands on them. They’re not machines that can’t perform 100% every time. The nights I heard Milnes sing he was magnificent. One particular evening I can remember was Otello with Milnes and Domingo. That was a spine shilling performance. I think I saw him at the Met 15 times. And we actually met him out in the foyer during intermission at one of the Met galas we attended. He was very kind.
@100, both. Milnes is 6'4" and Kraus was 5'9-10'. Both the physical stereotype for their respective vocal types. Glorious artists, spellbinding singing.
Alfredo Kraus squillante voce cuts through the orchestra nicely. Soon after this, his voice wasn’t the same. His technique wasn’t that perfect after all. And don’t tell me it was due to aging, when the great tenors of the past sang past their primes with their voices intact. Lauri-Volpi, Gigli etc etc
Bellisimo duet di Bizet with two giants, Kraus and Milnes ❤
Ogni volta un emozione sino alle lacrime..Dio ci ha donato musica celesti ale ed Artisti superlativi..... Grazie
Huge fan of Alfredo Kraus not to mention Milnes. Have never seen them perform together in a concert! BRAVO!!
I saw Milnes live performing the role of Don Giovanni in Caracas (Venezuela). That was a few years ago, but will never forget his powerful and compelling performance. For me one of the best baritone of all time.
What a great duo,and the vocal harmony is breathtaking 🅰️⚡⚡🔥

Uno de los más bellos dúos que hay en la voz de dos impresionantes intérpretes. Me encanta Milnes y adoro a Kraus. Gracias por compartir esta belleza.
Absolutely gorgeous miss these 2 singers. Sherrill Milnes still with us.Julius Rudel marvelous conductor.
Bonynge is conducting
@@OrpheuCe oh someone said Rudel. Fantastic
I was fortunate to be able to sing with Mr Milnes years ago when I was performing in local music venues in Phoenix. A memorable time for me. Wonderful gentleman.
Milnes e Don Alfredo Kraus duetto di grande livello
Wow, how nice to see a new version! Thanks for posting. Especially nice to see Kraus and compare this to his version with Barry McDaniel.
Great Modern School Baritone and Great Old School Tenor
Beautiful !! A masterclass in singing. (but it is the Australian, Sir Richard Bonynge, who conducted the orchestra.)
Simplemente perfecto.

Due Grandi!!! Grazie
Brilhantíssimo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Impresionantes !!!
Bravo to this dinamic duo. Gorgeous harmonizing from these two outstanding artists.👏👏👏👏👏👏
Two of my favorite singers!

The conductor is NOT Julius Rudel. It;s Richard Bonynge!
Magistral Duo!!, una de las Obras mas bellas que escuché en mi vida
The best !!!
Sherrill Milnes me encanta!!!
Krauss un Dio
Duo fascinante y aria majestuosa
Bravissimo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Alfredo top 10 !
I sang with both of them.as a soloist with Sherrill and in the chorus with Kraus.
Rudel isn't conducting; Richard Bonynge is! I remember Sutherland and Kraus singing a number together that night.
Impresionantes
Dos grandes cantantes en su mejor época.
Nop. Kraus hacía veinte años que había pasado su mejor época.

This conductor is not Maestro Rudel but Richard Bonynge
Me canta la voz del BARÍTONO MILNES
Люблю.
ZWEI GIGANTEN DER OPER
🎼👌 👏👏👏👏👏👏 💝

He was a great singer but not a pleasant man.
Never heard them together

This one tops them all even Jussi and Robert
No Way! Bjoerling/Merrill sang this better than every other pair!
Não é Rudel Regendo é Bonynge
Björling-Merril......
Is Milnes so tall - or was Kraus so short?
Milnes is very tall.
@100, both. Milnes is 6'4" and Kraus was 5'9-10'. Both the physical stereotype for their respective vocal types. Glorious artists, spellbinding singing.
Kraus es el maestro por antonomasia.
Es normal que un tenor "tape" con su voz a un bajo? Y no es cualquier bajo!!! Qué voz tenía el Maestro Kraus ♥️♥️♥️

Milnes never did it for me....sounds like an angry bear.
Kraus messes up the words right at about 1:20. Funny.
Bravó🌺🪴🌹

The crazy cushion climatologically blink because scraper generally disarm anenst a bustling desire. pathetic, callous dock
No fue el dia de Kraus ese....
Usted estaba tomando cuando hizo este comentario?
El Kraus ese ha sido el mejor tenor lirico ligero del siglo XX. Ignorante!
Very boring
Y que haces comentando y viendo el video
Ahhhhj...es que estabas aburrido en casa
