Remarkable that this huge and powerful voice (note the wide open high note at 1:57 -- don't have a piano or pitch pipe, but I think it was an F) was capable of such lovely lyricism:) --

Remarkable! Greatest of all baritones! Bravo!
Great song ( 2 years ago by jbeer82)
Great song

With regard to sheer voice, I totally agree Ruffo was the greatest.
Ruffo's vocal ... ( 2 years ago by meltzerboy)
Ruffo's vocal opulence and splendor is magnificent, as always. But for a better interpretation of the song, one must go to Alfredo Kraus' 1965 version on YT.
Can't say that I ... ( 2 years ago by MrCafiero)
Can't say that I like Kraus' version, but listen to Fleta. It is very good also.
Fleta is certainly ... ( 2 years ago by meltzerboy)
Fleta is certainly stylish and those diminuendos, his trademark! Still I prefer Kraus here even though I'm not a great fan of his overall.
That is funny ... ( 2 years ago by MrCafiero)
That is funny because Kraus' version seems very white tone, almost popish in timbre!LOL! Ah well, it is a "song" after all. I think I might have Mardones doing it. I will look!
Exactly, perfect ... ( 2 years ago by meltzerboy)
Exactly, perfect tonal color for zarzuela; Ruffo is too rich sounding. On second hearing, Fleta's version is also great. I wonder if Schipa ever recorded this.
AH NO!!! My ... ( 2 years ago by MrCafiero)
AH NO!!! My friend who is a tenor from Mexico would *KILL* you for saying that ;^). He sings a lot of Zarzuela! LOL!
I don' t have Mardones doing this song, but I am posting another one of him now.
Then please don't ... ( 2 years ago by meltzerboy)
Then please don't tell your friend! Thanks in advance for the Mardones.
