Jonas Kaufmann - E lucevan le stelle

Every note lingers in the air, haunting and unforgettable. His phrasing is exquisite, each word weighted with sorrow, his dynamic control bringing out the aria’s aching vulnerability. As his voice swells with passion and fades into resigned hopelessness, the listener is drawn into the depths of Cavaradossi’s final moments.
