Product description

UNA FURTIVA LAGRIMA - AIRS DE BEL CANTO DE BELLINI ET DONIZETTIFLOREZ JUAN DIEGOMUSICA CLASICAINTERNATIONALMUSIC

Amazon.com

Here again young Peruvian tenor Juan Diego Florez proves himself a pleasure to listen to. The music on this CD is not as florid as on his previous recital, but the manner in which he approaches this selection of scenes by Donizetti and Bellini is just as artful. The tone is beautiful and even from bottom to amazingly easy top; he gets "in" each character; his smooth, elegant delivery ("Una furtive lagrima" is simply and meltingly sung, as is Ernesto's aria from Don Pasquale) is as wondrous as his acrobatics--rarely have Tonio's nine high Cs from the Fille du Regiment aria sounded so natural, so part of the character's enthusiasm, and rarely has Arturo's abrupt rise to high C sharp in "A te o cara" sounded so effortless. Florez's basic sound is sweet, but he can exclaim excitingly, as he does in the scene from I Capuleti e i Montecchi. And wait until you hear the ditty from Donizetti's Rita! Rarely has singing sounded like so much fun. Conductor Riccardo Frizza leads the orchestra (and chorus) with knowing early 19th-century style. Don't miss this. --Robert Levine

5.0 out of 5 stars A definite advance on his first album
Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2003
Verified Purchase
Juan Diego Florez established himself as the up-and-coming Rossini tenor with his debut album. This second CD shows him displaying more sides of his art, including a traversal of the famous title aria. His rendition of Nemorino's brief, eloquent romanza, as good as it is, won't erase memories of the many great tenors who have recorded this piece--his basic timbre is not as rich and round as, say, Pavarotti, and may not be to everyone's taste in this mainstream music. However, as a totality this album represents a definite advance in expressive range over his first disc, with Florez showing a particular talent for projecting light comedy, as the first track from Donizetti's "Rita" illustrates. Elsewhere the mastery of florid technique and rock-solid high extension that have thrilled live audiences are amply in evidence. The concerted numbers from "Puritani" and "Centerentola" have chorus and supporting singers of somewhat variable quality filling out the other vocal parts.
This is a good album that will win yet more fans of this exciting singer.

This Peruvian tenor has loads of vocal agility, charm and stage presence---he always does justice to the theatrical aspects of a role. He's entertaining, and fun to watch! Though he can ---and does---- hit all the notes, and at speed, for me, the timbre of his voice a trifle thin, a tad light; it just doesn't resonate with me as much as do the voices of more middle range dramatic tenors, Pavarotti, Corelli, Del Monaco, or Calleja, for example.

When it comes to reviewing classical music, I feel a little bit like a hillbilly at the opera. I really like it, but I'm not all that sure what's going on. And like that hillbilly at the opera (there aren't any hillbillies out there, reading this are there -- Mammy? Pappy)? I love classical music, but I can't honestly say I know much about it.

What I DO know is that to my untrained ear, Mr. Florez' voice is incredibly beautiful, a pleasure to revel in. Listening to his "Una furtiva lagrima" seems to transport me to another time and place. His voice is warm and tender and seems to soar effortlessly as he hits one high note after another and is worthy of appreciation by fans of any music style.

If you want an album filled with exquisite singing, this would certainly be a fine place to start.

5.0 out of 5 stars Addictive Florez
Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2013

This is Juan Diego at his best! Track 6 "Tutto è sciolto...Ah, perchè non posso odiarti" is just fantastic. I've had this CD for a couple of years and listen to it at least every few weeks in the car - it's very addictive and very pleasurable. I've gifted this to a few people who are relatively new to opera ( i.e still in their Puccini phase - not that there's anything wrong with that! ) sometimes they like it but often not - as Bel Canto takes some getting into.

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2005

After hearing the first track ("Allegro io son") on our local station ([...] I immediately bought this album. I was a little nervous that there would only be one good track, but (after listening _many_ times) consider most of the tracks to be "keepers". The title track is very moving, but my personal favorite is "Com'e gentil", for the wonderful match of voice and instrument.

Some of the tracks are a little heavy on the recitative, but the album notes include the translation, which makes it more interesting to listen to.

since Pavarotti is gone, Florez took over as my favorite tenor leggero; I love every single thing he sings, hes really amazing. I own all his recital albums & when I compare them with Pavaroti or Merrit, there's no better belcanto tenor than Florez

Una Furtiva Lagrima - Juan Diego Florez
It would be difficult to find another tenor anywhere who is in such command of the belcanto repertoire.
Juan Diego Florez is a very well trained musician not just an overnight sensation. Voices like his come
around every ten years, if we are lucky. This CD belongs in every record collection of great voices.

5.0 out of 5 stars Juan Diego Flórez - Una Furtiva Lagrima: Donizetti & Bellini Arias.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 9, 2023
Verified Purchase
Flórez is perfect for this repertoire – a natural Rossini tenor, his voice set in the high tenor range – it also suits the bel canto arias of these two composers; the album is a pleasure from start to finish.
Accompanied by The Orchestra Sinfonica e Coro di Milano Giuseppe Verdi conducted by Riccardo Frizza, he`s joined briefly by guest voices on some tracks.
All texts are included in Italian/English/French/German with notes in the booklet.
A hugely enjoyable album.

4.0 out of 5 stars Il canto di Florez in Bellini e Donizetti
Reviewed in Italy on November 4, 2015
Verified Purchase
Non ancora trentenne, Diego Florez - che peraltro aveva già debuttato una decina d'anni prima - registro' per la Decca, agli inizi degli anni duemila, due CD che intendevano far conoscere ed affermare anche presso il grande pubblico il nuovo astro nascente nell'ambito dei tenori di grazia o lirico-leggeri, uno dedicato ad arie di Rossini, l'altro - qui recensito - intitolato "Una furtiva lagrima" e dedicato ad arie di Donizetti e di Bellini.
Evidenzio subito che, soprattutto alla luce della vocalità di allora, Florez emerge meglio nelle arie del grande Autore pesarese, in cui la tessitura è più acuta e talora l'intera romanza è finalizzata alla nota del l'acuto finale, mentre le composizioni di Bellini, e soprattutto di Donizetti, richiedono una vocalità più calda e mettono a dura prova l'esecutore anche nel registro centrale (e talora in quello basso) che Florez non sempre riesce a rendere al meglio, come invece nella tessitura acuta.
Fatta questa doverosa premessa, il CD offre all'ascoltatore quanto di meglio si possa trovare per questo repertorio a partire dal nuovo millennio, dopo l'epoca di Pavarotti e di Kraus: Diego Florez - recentemente ammirato alla Scala nell'Otello di Rossini e nel recital di canto a lui riservato - ha una voce limpida e perfettamente integra, sale alla tessitura più acuta con una facilità che non ha alcun rivale ed interpreta inoltre con eleganza i recitativi e le arie contenute nel CD.
A proposito del contenuto del cofanetto merita segnalare che - oltre a brani più noti tratti dall'Elisir d'Amore (da cui il titolo del CD), dal Don Pasquale, da Sonnambula, dai Puritani e dalla Fille du regiment (non poteva mancare la famosa cabaletta con i nove do sovracuti, cantata con apparente naturalezza da Florez ) - sono anche compresi il recitativo, aria e cabaletta di Tebaldo tratta dai Capuleti e Montecchi di Bellini, l'aria "Allegro io son" della Rita di Donizetti e soprattutto una vera e propria chicca: il recitativo e aria "Ah non sogno!...Disperato amante afflitto" tratta dall'Elisabetta, opera travagliata e incompiuta, mai rappresentata, di Donizetti.
Infine non si può sottacere la bella prova dell'Orchestra Sinfonica Verdi ben guidata dal Maestro Riccardo Frizza, allora anche lui giovane e destinato poi ad affermarsi nei principali teatri di tutto il mondo, che accompagna con grande raffinatezza il canto di Florez, sapendo rendere il giusto colore e il milieu di ciascuno dei brani tratti da opere fra loro molto diverse.

J'avais acheté le cd après un magnifique concert de cet extraordinaire ténor à Baden Baden, comme complément à "Amour" (une superbe réussite) et j'avoue que j'ai été un peu déçu par l'interprétation du grand ténor péruvien (âgé de 29 ans lors de l'enregistrement). Heureusement, entre temps, Monsieur Flores est devenu un des plus grands ténors lyriques de tous les temps (en concert il est tout simplement époustouflant!).
