Biography

José Carreras, one of the legendary "Three Tenors," was born Josep Carreras (Josep is his Catalan name, the equivalent of the Castilian Spanish José) in Barcelona in 1946.

LOOK NO FURTHER 4 Jan 2004
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
This recording magnificently captures the sense of drama within Don Carlo (even although it is not the full 5 act version - unfortunately!) and documents some of the most magnificent singing of this work. von Karajan has the Berliner Philharmoniker under a tight rein and inspires them to pour out a magnificent and luxurious carpet of sound and bring this performance alive. All of the singers are unequalled in their roles and each leave their own unique stamp. Carreras, full of fervor and impetuousness as the ardent, young Don Carlo, sings in a fresh, unstrangled voice with a clean tone while Mirella Freni, tackling one of the heavier roles that many doubted she could successfully portray, uses her incomparable italianate voice veiled with the right amount of morbidezza to convey Elisabetta's anguish and torment over her forbidden love. However, the real scene stealer is Agnes Baltsa's high voltage portrayal of the scheming, jealous Eboli. Baltsa, at the outset of international stardom, sails through technical demands of her role with unrivalled virtuosity and turns out a viscerally exciting "O don fatale" using her dark-veiled voice most effectively. Piero Cappuccilli and Ruggero Raimondi are no less remarkable in their characters. Cappuccilli is completely overwhelming as Rodrigo and we can almost feel the tension during his duet with Filippo II while Raimondi's dark-hued King is one of the most noble on disc. There are also some interesting names in the cast - Edita Gruberova, Barbara Hendricks and Jose van Dam all appear (early on in their careers) in the smaller parts. All in all, this is a fantastic recording and should be a strong first choice for those who are looking for a 'performance' of Verdi's masterpiece.

I think I prefer the four Act version of Don Carlo, and this recording is worth having along with Solti & Giulini's five act recordings. All the soloists are superb. Karajan blasts his way through the score and the Act four duet "Ma lassu ci vedremo" with Freni and Carreras melts the heart.

Perfect 24 Jan 2004
By E. WOOLSTON TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
The ingredients are right, Freni as Elisabetta gives her usual beautiful performance. Carreras is suitably heroic and Ghiaurov actually makes you forget for a moment what a nasty old hypocrite Filippo is, when he sing 'she never loved me' (Ella giammai m'amò!). For once, Karajan doesn't drown his singers with the orchestra. Instead a lush, rich, haunting sound is produced.
