My God some of you people are ridiculously critical! He sings the whole thing magnificently and then has a little blip on the last b flat which he sucessfully sings through. If I'd paid to see him I'd have been very happy to hear such a great voice sing so stylishly, and I am a tenor who has sung Aida many times myself and knows how difficult it is.

He's awful, but not as embarrassing as he became later. This doesn't sound horrible, just third rate

Браво !!! Очень красиво!!!!!!!!

Excelente!.Que bella música cuanta armonía!

This is a great voice with excellent technique. The voice is even from bottom to top. He sings softly in places which is hard for a dramatic tenor. And this is a live performance!!

I agree, you never know as tenor how it will go :) Sometimes small cold can make you crack

one of the greatest dramatic tenors in our life time!

@bigus Very true Bigus. The aria shows just how far one is with their technique too. This aria is written in such a way that anything that is "extra" or "too much" is immediately heard. Verdi put in piano all over so the singer can concentrate on open throat ringing tone and a spun yawn to spin every single tone and trust it to be enough. The music is heroic without the need for "extra". Even if you are the "best" what the end requires is specific. Few of us have solved these problems.

БРАВО!!!!

Le plus grand Tenor dramatique actuel inégalable

if you're implicating that all russians are unmusical and bawling, you must simply not be able to recognize pure passion and music that comes from the heart.

He has problems with every single F, most of them are flat, and you can hear that he feels awkward. After the first B-flat, he is finished. It's not about the last crack, the last crack is the sum of what happens before.

I guess he could have covered all the F's and saved his voice from this struggle?

what i find most difficult about this aria is the fact that it has so many ascending lines, the last one even in piano all the way up to b-flat. but i'm a real fan of galouzine's and i simply cannot imagine he isn't really ill in this performance. this is not like galouzine at all! yes, very painful, but no, no reason to judge someone if you don't know what was wrong.

Love the quality of his voice, but a lot of underpitch singing and quite hoarsy sometimes.

@taythema I agree, every single opera house in the entire world should only hire an entire cast born and raised in Northern Africa with classical schooling of elite standard. Seriously, when was the last time you heard an Ethiopian tenor?

@taythema You are confusing Sub-Saharan Africans (Blacks) with the Hamites (Egytptians) and Semites(Cartheginians) of Northern Africa. Egyptians left lots of records of who they were. They considered themselves the Red People. They represented the Numidians as Black people. The plot of Aida reflects this. Aida is a Black slave. If all the Egyptians were also Black - no drama. In most movies the Romans are played by the British actors and Americans typically play Jews.

Saw his performing the same role yesterday. What can I say, I like his singing (and his costume) in this video better.((( By some freakish accident I even end up on the same picture with him.

crack... oh! dear... go to see any video of P.Domingo singing this aria and you will feel so stressed to see him struggling with the high notes. The crack on this man was just an accident, nervs... anyway I feel that nowdays he have a different place for his voice, I mean have more center, more body support. I like it.

Verdi e la sua musica non perdonano chi urla.

His timbre reminds me Corelli a bit.

I think since '95 his voice has come under more consistent control,

What a powerful performance. Microphones were not even visible. There are some hmm.. but very forgivable. I don't know how many songs he sung before this. Power is very apparent.

@Lovelytenor1 i think your absolutely right, and i will remember that advice if i ever sing this. i dont have a heroic tenor voice so i will probably steer clear of most of these type of arias. if its not easy for me i dont even attempt it. i believe that no matter what you sing it should be easy on your voice. a helden tenor can sing the heavy roles easily because it doesn't hurt his voice where for someone like me it would be suicide.

He has a fantastic voice but his technique is not on the same level.

Según mi parecer es difícil ver el cuando completo de la carrera de un artista, en lo que al final logra convertirse, no es fácil salir a un escenario y enfrentar incontables dificultades que no están relacionadas con la voz. Todos los artistas tienen un desarrollo, hay que acompañar ese desarrollo para que sigan adelante y puedan perfeccionarse, es muy fácil hacer una crítica de un aria aislada, tengan en cuenta que las variables por la cual un cantante debe enfrentar el vivo son muchísimas y todas ellas van a definir como va a cantar esa noche. A nadie le importa si canto todo el resto del rol bien, si esta incorrecta el aria, eso genera automáticamente un estigma. Todos los grandes, han tenido días difíciles. Cantar Òpera es mucho mas que un aria, y quien ha cantado en el teatro comprende perfectamente de que hablo. Valoremos la resultante del artista y apoyemos el camino, todos podemos tener un mal día y no por eso ser juzgados por tal.

..he cracked on the final note....

@Lovelytenor1 i agree. mdm sounded good sometimes but like you said he also sounded bad alot and i think went off pitch manytimes too later on. i heard some mdm recordings recently that left much to be desired.

@Englishtenor2 different fach. this is still in the lyric spinto realm, maybe i should have clarified. the roles you mentioned are more heroic tenor roles that lighter tenors wouldnt be singing anyway. but for a sizable heroic tenor voice that doesn't need to push to be heard those roles wouldn't be too tough. most tenors say aida is the most difficult because of the tessitura etc, but maybe some would find siegried or otello harder for different reasons. or of similar difficulty.

Mr.Poli i am right that you wish to sing like Mr.galouzine only one second in you life

His singing is far from subjective canons of the opera. But Galuzin the only one who is convincing in the role of Radames. He is strong, can go on an adventure for the sake of love. It is felt in his vocals. Inlikely to Pavarotti.

laboured technique, can tell how stressed he is after he comes down from the high B note at about 2:10. That and the fight for the llast note that when raspy. His voice won't last long like that.

i once went to see my singing teacher in a production and his singing was terrible. honest as i am, i said so and he told me that behind the stage he'd received a call telling his mom had just been taken to intensive care with heart failure. he said: it blew me right off my feet, i must have dropped years back in my technical development. that's what personal stuff can do to your singing, if you're sensitive to it. so don't judge someone by one performance if you don't know the story behind it.

he still has a laboured technique and all the videos i've watched of him, his voice sounds dull by the end. And not everyone is stressed singing live. If you have the technique you can do it better with no stress.

This also reminds me of a performance of Mozart's Tito here in Amsterdam with Jerry Hadley as Tito. As a fan of Hadley it was really painful for me to hear that almost everything went wrong, much like in this clip. Then I judged him for it, disappointed as I was. Only much later did I hear about his wife who had divorced him, which eventually may have been the main reason why he ended his life. First I pointed my finger: you've been cheating us with your fake singing, now I'm deeply ashamed.

just so everyone understands, this is bar none the hardest role a tenor could possibly perform. almost every tenor who sings it sounds like balls excuse the term. there are very few who have the technical mastery sing it much less sound good. and NO one sounds good every night, its THAT taxing. Pavarotti had machine like perfect technique and he quit this role because of the toll it was taking on his voice. vlad was probably just tired here. if you are the least bit tired you will blow this aria

Estupendo, pero ya he comprobado que las notas altas (si bemol, si natural...) le resultan algo así como inseguras, escapa de ellas con rapidez, en ocasiones casi rompiéndolas, peligrando en el gallo. Pero, no obstante, qué chorrazo de voz.Estupendo.

@bigus I do agree with you, but could those that pay lot money to watch him, will think like u and me? :-)

Ha ha ha U r great tenor ....

very good! but it is not his best day.. listen how tierd hi became in the second part of the aria, and the end. I think he was ill in that day.

eh?

I think that Vladimir Galoutzine labours in this role,a strong voice but often flat,this my opinion.Rene

sembra una caricatura...

B-flat.:D

Bueno, lo he escuchado en ,mejores arias. Prefiero escucharlo y verlo a él que a Placido Domingo. Indiscutiblemente el Gran Franco Corelli fué es y será el mejor.

Galouzine is just now 51 years old, an age in which Martinelli sang his first Otello!

moskwa123, might have her comments, but for singers out there, Galouzin in this rendition was too HYPER. moved around too muchh, lost concentration, otherwise he could have pulled it oof much better. Celeste Aida is a difficult opening aria. PERIOD, so approach with great respect, and CALM. In adiition the theme of hte song calls for a relaxed, beautiful feeling, Celeste Aida, go on the heroic path, or in this case the hyper path, and S U F F E R.

And by the same token Barbra Hendriks should sing Aida, and let's have Kathleen Battle as Amneris and every madame butterfly should be strictly Japanese... and the next time we have Le Roi de Lahore we'll be off to Pakistan to get an authentic cast...and for The cunning little Vixen Please Taythema get a life

...he is in a bad shape this evening. First he is out of tune (beginning: celeste Aida....), then he is out of fokus (vicino al sol...). then he cracks (last ...als sol...). This recording shows, how difficult this aria really is. I think, we could find more recordings like this, even Pavarotti, Domingo, Carreras, Alagna had Problems with this aria.

Un truono vicino al sol ,ma per favore ha urlato tutta la romanza.

@bigus What hogwash. For Pavarotti, this role was too heavy and he cracked a million times.

Ну голимотьё, совсем не итальянский звук. Такую оперу нужно петь на пике мастерства а не дрожащим срывающимся голосом.

Martinucci is better.

Vai a cantarla tu senza steccare..ciao

Надо петь,петь и еще раз петь.Верди,дабы уличить глупость. гордыню теноров нарочно написал эти три si-moll.Это означает,что он орет и облажался.Наличие голоса без ума -трагедия.То, что оперное пение очень тяжелая ноша ,знают многие,но сцена глуха к любым оправданиям.
