The world-renowned tenor releases his first album of baritone arias
“apparently unstoppable in his second career as conductor and baritone”
The Telegraph. For the very first time, Plácido Domingo records a
complete album of baritone repertoire and assembles Verdi´s most beloved
baritone arias from Don Carlo, Rigoletto, La Traviata and Simon
Boccangera among others.
Verdi played the largest part in Domingo´s long career. His debut as an opera singer was in the part of Borsa in Rigoletto. As he has sung 22 of Verdi tenor roles and has recorded all of Verdi's tenor arias, Domingo is now exploring the darker characters of Verdi’s opera.
In 2009 Plácido Domingo performed his first baritone title role as Simon Boccanegra at the Royal Opera House in London, which was soon followed by leading roles as Rigoletto, Francesco Foscari and Giorgio Germont from La Traviata. This year will see Domingo debut in the leading roles of Nabucco at the Metropolitan Opera New York and Conte di Luna from Il Trovatore at the State Opera in Berlin.
Considered to be THE Verdi tenor of his generation, Plácido Domingo presents now a new side of his vocal abilities, for which one may want to name him THE Verdi singer.
Plácido Domingo is accompanied by the Orquestra de la Comunítat Valencíana under the direction of conductor Pablo Heras-Casado.
Plácido Domingo about Verdi: “Verdi is a wellspring of great music, and every lyric singer is grateful to him. When you think of the musical distance that he travelled from his first opera, Oberto, in 1839, to Falstaff, in 1893, the evolution is almost incredible. The passion, the dramatic sense, the sensitivity to the voice – those qualities were there from the start. But the ability to develop individual characters in music, the refinement in orchestration, and the gradual transformation of Italian opera from a series of beautiful set-pieces into a logical, dramatic whole – this process of maturation seems almost miraculous. So for me 2013 must be a special celebration, a tribute, and an act of thanksgiving and love toward Giuseppe Verdi.”
