Natalie Dessay and Juan Diego Florez in La Sonnambula - Son geloso del zefiro errante
Posted by: thecelticspirit
Video duration: 536 seconds
Global video hits: 40920
Here is a video excerpt of the MET's Sonnambula, starring Natalie Dessay as Amina and Juan Diego Florez as Elvino in Zimmerman's new production. This is one of my favorite duet of all the history of opera. Such sweetness... And both of them deliver a very touching rendition of this duet. Terrific singing, as well as acting.

AND if I may say so, Vickers was quite? versatile. Very few tenors can effectively sing Otello, Tristan, Chenier, Parsifal, Aeneas, Siegmund, Don Alvaro, Samson (Saint-Saens AND Handel), Don Jose, Canio, Florestan, Peter Grimes, etc.
By: stevevandien. on 09 May 12, 07:07:58
As a dramatic tenor and operatic artist, Vickers possessed a broad combination of virtues, including an enormous voice that still retained the capacity for lovely lyricism, an overwhelming stage presence, and ABSOLUTE commitment to the role at hand in every way. Push-button acuti ala Corelli were not among said virtues, although Vickers' upper register included a respectable B flat, as heard here --- ?
By: dayanvolpe. on 31 Oct 11, 20:33:12
great voice? but Mario del Monaco is the best i this role!!
By: flicfan416. on 29 May 11, 18:39:46
In my personal opinion, this HAS to be the greatest reading of Pollione. Listen to all those baritone lines! LIstening to Vickers brings a whole new meaning to the? score, like hearing Callas sing Lucia for the first time.
By: ezev8logos. on 19 Apr 11, 13:23:05
yes, it may? be, I think he never paid much attention to his high notes and yet he is one of the greatest tenors in history, maybe if he had improved his high notes today he would be associated with another type of repertoire
By: phanface. on 17 Apr 11, 03:04:05
I remember reading in Vickers's biography that his reason for not singing Pollione at first was because he claimed to not have a high C, but your (welcome) comment makes me question his sincerity. This was also when? he first worked with Callas in Medea, and though the two seemed to work together well, perhaps he didn't want to become "Callas's tenor".
By: ezev8logos. on 16 Apr 11, 21:20:52
you can hear a lot of his high b on otello's duet "cho m'accora" and also the short? high c on "dio ti giocondi sposo" from the live recordings (not karajan's film)
By: ezev8logos. on 16 Apr 11, 21:17:38
you're absolutely right!!! who cares about the high notes when you hear such an amazing artist, still you? can hear a lot of his high b on otello's duet "cho m'accora" and also the short high c on "dio ti giocondi sposo" from the live recordings (not karajan's film)
By: ezev8logos. on 16 Apr 11, 21:12:26
he always sang the short high c at the? end of otello's duet "dio ti giocondi"

Uno dei pochi? Pollione, "CREDIBILI "dopo Corelli e Del Monaco...saluti

I might add that his companion uses many of the same empty gestures, so that this might have been more the stage director's? fault than Vickers'...
By: philipvanlidth. on 06 Jul 10, 12:45:35
Quite true, and I don't really understand that this would have been considered necessary. While I will agree that Vickers often cracked disastrously on a high b natural (in both of the Otello recordings I have heard from him this was true in the same place), his b-flats were usually on target. As for his acting, I have seen him live in several productions? (Grimes, Tristan, Samson, Otello), and he usually acts fairly well, even if he wasn't the actor Callas was...

The? splcing-in of Domingo's voice happens at 7'48".
By: Richiesutherland. on 04 Apr 10, 05:25:00
That's a terrible thing to say about Callas! Look at Vickers' meaningless gestures, every one used over and over again. Dreadful Italian (and yes, I noticed that he never flips his final "r"s.? Worst of all is the fraud that has always been in this videotape: please notice that the voice changes in the final bars of the aria (as the camera backs up) and his voice is replaced by Placido Domingo's! I was at one of these performances, and Vickers, as usual, cracked disastrously on the final Bb.
By: Nello7. on 25 Feb 10, 16:07:59
Yawn. Not Vickers fault, but? this is mundane by design and is why it isn't performed too often. On another note- r's are only supposed to be rolled when they are double rr or at the beginning of a word. It is done for effect otherwise. What he is doing is not incorrect.
By: FacePaster. on 17 Dec 09, 17:59:52
what an? artist. good lord. wish i could've seen this man perform live.
By: stevevandien. on 06 Dec 09, 19:18:42
Oh, sorry. My eyesight? isn't too acute these days, and I thought you'd written "y" instead of "r" --
By: jebemti. on 06 Dec 09, 14:14:00
Stevevandien, if you knew the cabaletta (and Italian) you'd have picked up what I'm talking about. Most of his R's in the cabaletta (not all) sound like AH: eg: preceding cabaletta - Baabari (BaRbari) then: Poteh (PoteR) Magioh (MaggioR)? Pensieh (PensieR) Lamoh (L'amoR) Vehgine (VeRgine). I know consonants are sometimes sacrificed in order for the voice to flow uninterrupted but if other singers cal RRRrrrrr so can he.
By: jebemti. on 06 Dec 09, 14:10:45
As AtaGiacomini said a few comments? below, (traslated from his Italian) "Vickers always sings like an Englishman...terrible!" I bet he means he doesn't roll his R's as the R in English always sounds like an Ah sound.
By: stevevandien. on 06 Dec 09, 06:17:00
How do you roll? a Y?
By: noosphere23. on 18 Nov 09, 05:55:54
Amen!!!!!!!!? Well said!

Vickers sempre canta come l'inglese....Terribile!?
By: jebemti. on 22 Aug 09, 13:42:00
Great voice - love Vickers. Just wish? he'd roll the 'r's in the cabaletta. It really grates on me!
By: jebemti. on 22 Aug 09, 13:39:23
Look, I love Vickers, OK? But I just wish to hell he'd roll the bloody 'R's in the cabaletta!?
