A young, virile José Carreras singing a stunning Core ’ngrato. Before his medical struggles, Carreras was a truly marvelous tenor — and even after, still a deeply moving artist — but this clip especially highlights just how extraordinary his voice once was. The freedom, the color, the emotional weight… it’s all right there. If you only know Carreras from later recordings, this is a beautiful reminder of what an incredible instrument he had in his prime. #JoseCarreras #CoreNgrato #GreatTenors #Op

Jose Carreras sings "Vesti la giubba" from Leoncavallo's Pagliacci with alternative lyrics in English on Sesame Street: "Ernie's unhappy 'cause he can't find his buddy. No faithful tubmate to float with on life's pond. It is so depressing. His whole future looks muddy, and so does Ernie, because he can't take a bath. He looked inside his trusty toybox and the closet, But all he found were toys and clothing and some shoes, OOOOOH... He lost his ducky, how unlucky, where was it? He lost his duck.
