I heard Brownlee sing this at Lyric Opera of Chicago this afternoon. The audience was so delighted with his performance that he sang the song twice! He's is magnificent.
Brownlee is incredible. Florez is incredible. There is room at the top for many great singers. So happy to see a new generation of young tenors emerging.
I saw him sing this at the Met in January 2012. Outstanding! (I also love the look on the Pianist's face in this clip as the end high C goes on...and on.....and on.....AND ON).
For heaven's sake, why didn't I come across this reincarnation of all the best tenors earlier? I am deeply impressed. I hear the best and only the best of Domingo, Björling, Pavarotti in just one voice. What a warm, and yet shining, precise voice! The tempo is quite neck-breaking... But Brownlee gets through it with ease. I do envy this guy. Absolutely top-notch tenor. A. von Uri, Switzerland
Definitely! In my years of living near Chicago's Lyric Opera, I've heard many great tenors including Domingo and Pavarotti and Hadley and Heppener, but I think that Brownlee is my favorite. He sings those high C's so effortlessly! And his stage presence is so charming.
I got to see him live a number of years ago... love him! I love watching a video that makes me start clapping alone in my living room, applauding furiously as an audience of one :) Brownlee has it all- the tone, the range, the looks, the charisma, the acting. He's the total package, a dream tenor for sure :)
Wowwwwww I'm just discovering this guy, he's reallyyyy talented. His attention to the text is wonderful!!! I speak italian, I understood every word in his "una furtiva lagrima" and I'm studying French and was able to make out alot of the text in this aria....and of course that final top C :::standing ovation::: BRAVO!!!!!!!
Мне вот просто интересно было бы взглянуть на тех людей, которые поставили дизлайки!!! Я просто в шоке!! Это сколько же в них зависти и подлости... Лоуренс Браунли вместе с Хуаном Диего Флоресом - величайшие тенора мира! Уникальные голоса!! А тут просто и придраться не к чему, даже если очень захотеть!! Великолепно, красиво, благородно, виртуозно, чисто... Нет слов!! Браво!!!!!
Just saw him in recital at Baylor last week and haven't been able to get enough! A consistent, robust sound that just makes you melt! Definitely the greatest Tenor of his time.
I heard Pavarotti sing this aria in 1974, in a terrible hall at C.W. Post College on Long Island. Most of his performance was (for him) relatively light pieces. He saved Ah Mes Amis for his encore, and he was spectacular. I never thought I would hear a better performance but now, 47 years later, I have. I would love to see Mr. Brownlee perform it live. When I heard Pavarotti I was with a friend and his uncle, and the uncle pointed out that Pavarotti seemed afraid, before beginning. And I think he was, a bit. I would be surprised if Pavarotti was afraid at the Met, but a recital is a more intimate performance. Clearly in this performance Mr. Brownlee was definitely not afraid. The smile as he shot his cuffs before beginning tells you that knew that he was going to hit it. I also love that moment at the end, when he is holding that last note, when Mr. Burnside smiles, ever so slightly, in recognition that he, too, is experiencing something extraordinary.
It is impossible compare anybodys version of this aria to Pavarotti's but of all the other version this is without a doubt, in my opinion, the best. The top notes are crisp and perfect and the tone of his voice in phenomenal. A fantastic performance summed up by the pianists face at the end of the piece. What a final top C!
BRAVO !!!!!! He is on my list of "must see" opera singers for the coming season !!! It is absolutely marvelous to have such a breadth of tenors in this repertoire. Different timbres, different "feel" for the music, different deliveries, different expressiveness !!! They each give us a glimpse of true beauty !
une très grande voix qui prouve bien toute la sensibilité de ces artistes trop méconnus. IL y a une nouvelle génération qui nous donne bien du bonheur . Pour preuve le reine Elisabeth d il y a deux ou trois ans
I LOVE Mr. Brownlee! He is the best out there today IMO! He is so charismatic, his voice so warm and agile. He makes it seem so easy and effortless! I hope to see much, much more of him in the near future!! Bravissimo!
Flores has the face, charm, comprehension, and obvious talent, a master tenor...and there's certainly room at the top for several, if not many, talented tenors. Krause may now be too old to take on the roll but all the others including the talented Asian tenors were all so good...but Brownlee may be Luciano's ultimate successor for this fun and so anticipated aria.
Tremendous words that I would oppose were there an untruth present but none I can see. Brownlee's agility and ability to maintain legato and roundness throughout his range lends itself to possibly even begin to cover the territory accomplished by the great Pavarotti. Only time will tell.
I think he is a perfect example of how the voice must be totally free and loose in order to reach that top so beautifully, that fast vibrato is great proof of it
Oh, so wonderful! The Operngala for AIDS-stiftung in Berlin 2009 brought me here. I rewined and listened to the song at least 10 times - got goosebumps everytime. Hat off to you, Mr Brownlee!
this is a great example of Bel Canto singing. Very flexible (downright elastic) voice, even tone, agile. I love it. His top notes are everything you could ask for in a leggiero tenor.
Ah! mes amis, quel jour de fête! Je vais marcher sous vos drapeaux. L'amour qui m'a tourné la tête Désormais, désormais, me rend un héros. Ah! quel bonheur oui mes amis Je vais marcher sous vos drapeaux. Oui, celle pour qui je respire, A mes voeux a daigné sourire Et ce doux espoir de bonheur Trouble ma raison et mon coeur! Ah! mes amis, quel jour de fête! Je vais marcher sous vos drapeaux.
Lawrence's last high note was carried so long making the pianist smile warmly and appreciatively...yes, impressive and so memorable. After Luciano's absolutely definitive version and listening to all the others on the list, Lawrence was tops with Flores and the tenor informally dressed in jeans like in front of a class, were runners up.....Great selection also starring Alfredo Kraus, still in terrific voive if looking much older....
Brownlee was fine, but the tenor I am most impressed with is Roderick Dixon 2001 --- his version in Three Mo' Tenors is a powerful piece. All the other tenors sound "wimpy". I like the POWER in Dixon's voice and version, just saying. Check it out on you tube.
His voice is like mine, light lyric tenor. Smooth like butter, seems like no effort at all being put forth but the focus is like a laser. Such a satisfying voice.
I heard Brownlee sing this at Lyric Opera of Chicago this afternoon. The audience was so delighted with his performance that he sang the song twice! He's is magnificent.
I heard him Nov 21 and he was marvelous!
I agree. I adore him!
The pianist smiling at the final high end note is priceless :D
omg I always watch the pianist at the end it is soo exciting, by the way very nice omogeneus sound and his timbre is a great gift!!
they probably didn't practice the sustain to be that long.
he sang the last note too long, and so accurate
The pianist was like "ok, i'll wait with pleasure"
When you feel the C has come out completely in place, you can just sit on it. Awesome.
He should be way more famous he is exceptional!!! His control is impeccable.
But we all know why...that is the case
The cleanest sounding high c's I have ever heard!
Absolutely! His note placement is impeccable!
Brownlee is incredible. Florez is incredible. There is room at the top for many great singers. So happy to see a new generation of young tenors emerging.
You've heard nothing until you've heard Jonathan Antoine, the voice of the century and still only 23.
go get hearing aids
Adam Knight AHAHAHAHAHAH I hope you're joking :)
🙏😢
Good God! Those high Cs just hang in mid-air and shine and glow and shimmer like a star!
I saw him sing this at the Met in January 2012. Outstanding! (I also love the look on the Pianist's face in this clip as the end high C goes on...and on.....and on.....AND ON).
I think he held back the rest of the performance for that one aria. But he certainly nailed it.
Gah!! That final C....no pressure. Completely on a line and effortless. Wow.
This man has a beautiful tone and amazing range. What a great high c. Definitely gifted.
Beautiful tone and vibrato, pure tone, plenty of power and control. Where have i been to not have heard of him.? Thank you for upload !🌹
My God, what a voice!
The accompanist is absolutely magnificent!

DEJO LA BARA MUY ALTA...😒
I seriously just launched my phone across the room when he held that note.
Wonderful. I wonder how far he would go in his career. He has a potential to attain the height of people such as Pavarotti.
Those high notes (and the whole piece as well) were absolutely gorgeous. I could listen to him sing all day :)
Wow. I hope I get to hear Mr. Brownlee live. He is fantastic.
His high c is great.

+Frederick Lasker I could not agree more!
If you're referring to Alfredo Kraus, he's been dead for nearly 20 years now.
Kraus se murio hace muchos años

don't talk nonsense
What a deep pleasure to listen to this singer !!!!! Braaaaaavo !
Lawrence Brownlee has an amazing voice & his range, as well as his vocal clarity are both superb.
Diego Flores is nice but Brownlee has an energy, a charisma that keeps one hooked.
I agree. Both are wonderfull.
They both bad singers

The greatest tenor right now in my opinion.
Jessica Gonzalez along with Juan Diego Florez yes.
Do you know Javier Camarena?
Victor lml adrian I don’t agree
I believe Juan Diego Flores performs this piece much better, live. Leaving the Link for you.

Outstanding, right up there with Diego-Florez version. Lawrence Brownlee is a real modern-day maestro!
Fantastic. I had the pleasure to listen to him in Kurhaus in Wiesbaden. He sung together with Irina Peretjatko
Brownlee has a great unique style. I like this version very much.
