Di quella pira in original key (C dur). Who is the tenor?

Aug 5, 2010 - Dude, there are recordings here on YouTube where Pavarotti does sing this aria with high C's, and also you can hardly say others transposed this down since the original doesn't call for a high C at the end.

Aug 26, 2010 - It's Ken Collins in the Australian Opera production, directed by Elijah Moshinsky.

Apr 5, 2011 - Hallo opera lowers. I was lucky enough to see Mr. Collins live some twenty years ago in London,singing Manrico.I also bought the video. I know the tenorpart and sing in Do ,with a high C. If someone needs (inexpensive) Manrico you can see more than one video with me on youtube. The newest also with Ah si,ben mio.Filmed at home in some 8 minutes...Kári Friðriksson. karifrid@hotmail.com

burgul Says:

Sep 8, 2011 - this is great!!! i love the tempo, it's not stressed and hysterical like most performances and he sings it with a great legato. maybe not as powerful and dramatic as others but great singing nonetheless

niepce68 Says:

Sep 25, 2011 - Yes technical is correct. But he does not sing the whole phrase "A l'armi" but he sais "Ala" not even "A l'arm".

Oct 7, 2011 - Lanza also sang it in the original key (high C)

Habanero212 Says:

Oct 11, 2011 - i love Lanza so this is no dig on him. however, singing the C in a concert and singing within the context of the entire role are 2 different things. again, i adore Lanza. how big do you think Lanza would be today amongst the current crop of tenors? do you think they would have taken him more seriously in an actual opera stage? my opinion? he's far and away better than any tenor today and yes they would. you?

Dec 18, 2011 - I saw Kenneth Collins singing Manrico for Welsh National Opera in the 70s. He was thrilling. He gave his all and his voice was beautiful and silvery. I also saw him in Turandot, Tosca, Manon Lescaut and Ernani. He was a modest journeyman tenor with a voice far, far better than the tenor "superstars" like Grigolo and Villazon who are celebrated today. Mr Collins you gave me much pleasure and excitment with your singing. Bravissimo.

Feb 14, 2012 - It should be noted that Pavarotti only sang this transposed down after he was in his 50's. He sang it in the original key live on stage many times in his prime and no one ever sang it better

BERNARDOANUK Says:

Feb 19, 2012 - no es un mi. Es un Do sostenido que ya es nucho.

BERNARDOANUK Says:

Feb 19, 2012 - Pavarotti sings in High C but this man sins in High C sharp. It's 1/2 tone high

ellicantropo Says:

Feb 19, 2012 - no hacia referencia a la nota musical,el final es ALARMI y el solo dice ALAR. (Y EL MI DONDE QUEDO?)

BERNARDOANUK Says:

Feb 20, 2012 - Yo es que lo escuche ayer noche a altas horas y mis oidos no estaban tan afinados como ahora. Ayer pense que escuchaba un Do sostenido sobreagudo y la verdad...siendo asi hasta se le podria perdonar la diccion ( la falta de la silaba MI). Pero esta mañana estoy mas afinado de oido y he podido comprobar que este señor canta un Do sobreagudo natural (no sostenido como nos estan vendiendo el video) y en este caso SI DEBERIA DECIR EL "MI" porque la supuesta hazaña ya no estal...

LovisaLaholm Says:

May 19, 2012 - Lanza had a small voice which sounded great only when he was miked. He's never have been able to do Trovatore. That's my opinion.

Cesaare Says:

May 24, 2012 - with all due respect to Lanza's talent(Voice and musicality) I agree.But today opera houses mike some singers like Cecilia Bartoli, Dimitri Khvorostovskij, Jonnas Kaufmann. If Lanza lived today, he would be instead of Kaufmann:)
