Ah, mes amis - Fille Contest - Alfredo Kraus video

I thought it was time we gave the tenors a turn. There are so many wonderful belcanto tenor aria and one of the most celebrated is from Donizetti's frech La Fille du Regiment. It is a wonderful display of lyric singing, and of course those 9 high c's. When putting together this contest, I was stuck with the absence of some of the "big name" tenors, however, there is some really wonderful singing here. I hope everyone takes the time to watch all of the clips, I found it interesting the differnt approaches taken to this difficult aria. Again a score of 1-5 for singing/characterization: Alfredo Kraus - 1983 Deon van der Walt - 1993 Charles Burles - 1972 Bruce Sledge - 2007 Jean-Luc Maurette - 1989 Marc Laho - 1998 Luca Canonici - 1992 Gregory Kunde - 1999 Juan Diego Florez - 2007 Marcelo Alvarez - 1995 José Sempere - 2002 Rockwell Blake - 1995 Paul Austin Kelly - 1996 Rockwell Blake - 1990 Alferdo Kraus - 1986 Juan Diego Florez - 2004
