“Impela ungungqondongqondo. Inhlanganisela engavamile - izwi, umculo, ubuqotho, ukukhuthala nobuhle obumangalisayo. Futhi wakuthola konke. Ngiyajabula ukuthi ngibe ngowokuqala ukubona leli dayimane ngasiza umhlaba ukuthi ulibone,” kusho uMontserrat Caballe.

“Singabantu bakithi, ngiyaqonda ukuthi ungowaseSpain kakhulu kunami. Mhlawumbe lokhu kungenxa yokuthi wakhulela eBarcelona, ​​​​futhi ngakhulela eMexico. Noma mhlawumbe akalokothi acindezele ulaka lwakhe ngenxa yesikole se-bel canto ... Kunoma yikuphi, sabelana ngokuphelele ngesihloko esithi “Uphawu Lwesizwe LwaseSpain” phakathi kwethu, nakuba ngazi kahle ukuthi ngesakhe ngaphezu kwami, ”UPlácido uyamkholelwa uDomingo.

“Umculi omangalisayo. Uzakwethu omuhle kakhulu. Indoda enhle kakhulu, ”kunanela uKatya Ricciarelli.

UJosé Carreras wazalwa ngo-December 5, 1946. Udadewabo kaJose omdala, uMaria Antonia Carreras-Coll, uthi: “Wayengumfana othule ngendlela emangalisayo, ezothile futhi ehlakaniphile. Wayenesici esakhanga ngaso leso sikhathi: ukunaka kakhulu futhi ukubukeka okungathí sina, okubonayo, okuyivelakancane enganeni. Umculo waba nethonya elimangalisayo kuye: wathula futhi waguqulwa ngokuphelele, wayeka ukuba yi-tomboy encane enamehlo amnyama. Akagcinanga ngokulalela umculo, kodwa wayebonakala ezama ukungena engqikithini yawo.

UJosé waqala ukucula kusenesikhathi. Kwavela ukuthi une-sonorous treble esobala, ethi ayifane nezwi lika-Robertino Loretti. UJosé waba nothando olukhethekile lwe-opera ngemva kokubuka ifilimu ethi The Great Caruso noMario Lanza endimeni yesihloko.

Kodwa-ke, umndeni wakwaCarreras, ocebile futhi ohloniphekile, awuzange ulungiselele uJose ikusasa lobuciko. Sekuyisikhathi eside esebenzela inkampani yakhe yezimonyo, ehambisa obhasikidi bezimpahla e-Barcelona ngebhayisikili. Ngesikhathi esifanayo efunda enyuvesi; isikhathi samahhala sihlukaniswe phakathi kwenkundla namantombazane.

Ngaleso sikhathi, i-sonorous treble yakhe yase iphenduke yaba i-tenor enhle ngokulinganayo, kodwa iphupho lisafana - isiteji se-opera house. “Uma ubuza uJose ukuthi impilo yakhe ubengayinikela kuphi uma kufanele ayiqale phansi, angingabazi ukuthi uzophendula athi: “Ukucula”. Futhi wayengeke avinjwe ubunzima ayezophinde abunqobe, usizi nezinzwa ezihlobene nalo mkhakha. Akabheki izwi lakhe njengelihle kakhulu futhi akahlanganyeli ku-narcissism. Ukuqonda kahle nje ukuthi uNkulunkulu umnike ithalenta abhekene nalo. Ithalente liyinjabulo, kodwa futhi kuwumthwalo wemfanelo omkhulu, "kusho uMaria Antonia Carreras-Coll.

“Ukukhuphukela kweCarreras esiqongweni se-Olympus edlalayo kuqhathaniswa nabaningi ngesimangaliso,” kubhala u-A. Yaroslavtseva. - Kodwa yena, njenganoma yimuphi uCinderella, wayedinga inganekwane. Futhi yena, njengokungathi enganekwaneni, wabonakala kuye cishe ngokwakhe. Manje kunzima ukusho ukuthi yini eyadonsa ukunaka kwe-Montserrat Caballe kwasekuqaleni - ukubukeka okuhle ngokumangalisayo, okuhloniphekile noma umbala omangalisayo wezwi. Kodwa kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kwenzekani, wathatha ukusika lelitshe eliyigugu, futhi umphumela, ngokungafani nezithembiso zokukhangisa, wadlula konke okwakulindelwe. Izikhathi ezimbalwa kuphela empilweni yakhe, uJosé Carreras wabonakala endimeni encane. KwakunguMary Stuart, lapho uCaballe ngokwakhe acula khona indima yesihloko.

Kwadlula izinyanga ezimbalwa kuphela, futhi izinkundla zemidlalo yaseshashalazini ezihamba phambili emhlabeni zaqala ukubekelana inselele nomculi osemusha. Kodwa-ke, uJose akazange asheshe ukuphetha izinkontileka. Ugcina izwi lakhe futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo athuthukise amakhono akhe.

UCarreras uphendule zonke izinhlinzeko ezilingayo: “Angisakwazi ukwenza okuningi.” Ngaphandle kokungabaza, wasamukela isicelo sikaCaballe sokucula eLa Scala. Kodwa wakhathazeka kwaba yize - ukuqala kwakhe kwaba ukunqoba.

“Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kuqhubeke, uCarreras waqala ukuthuthuka kancane kancane,” kuphawula u-A. Yaroslavtseva. - Yena ngokwakhe angakhetha izindima, ukukhiqizwa, abalingani. Ngomthwalo onjalo hhayi indlela yokuphila enempilo kakhulu, kunzima kakhulu kumculi osemusha, ohahayo esiteji nodumo, ukugwema ingozi yokulimaza izwi lakhe. I-repertoire kaCarreras iyakhula, ihlanganisa cishe zonke izingxenye ze-lyric tenor, inombolo enkulu yezingoma ze-Neapolitan, iSpanishi, zaseMelika, ama-ballads, ezothando. Engeza lapha amanye ama-operetta nezingoma ze-pop. Mangaki amazwi amahle asuliwe, alahlekelwa ukukhalipha kwawo, ubuhle bemvelo kanye nokunwebeka ngenxa yokukhetha okungalungile kwe-repertoire nesimo sengqondo sokunganaki emshinini wabo wokucula - thatha okungenani isibonelo esidabukisayo sikaGiuseppe Di Stefano ohlakaniphe kakhulu, umculi uCarreras ambheka. wakhe omuhle kanye nemodeli iminyaka eminingi ukulingisa.

Kodwa uCarreras, mhlawumbe futhi ngenxa kaMontserrat Caballe ohlakaniphile, ozazi kahle zonke izingozi ezilindele umculi, unokwethenjelwa futhi uhlakaniphile.

UCarreras uphila impilo ematasatasa yokudala. Udlala kuzo zonke izigaba ze-opera emhlabeni. I-repertoire yakhe ebanzi ayihlanganisi nje kuphela ama-opera kaVerdi, Donizetti, Puccini, kodwa futhi isebenza njenge-Handel's Samson oratorio kanye ne-West Side Story. UCarreras wenza okokugcina ngo-1984, futhi umbhali, umqambi uLeonard Bernstein, wenza.

Nanku umbono wakhe ngomculi waseSpain: “Umculi ongaqondakali! Inkosi, lapho kukhona abambalwa, ithalenta elikhulu - futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo umfundi onesizotha kakhulu. Ezifundweni, angiboni umculi wezwi odumile emhlabeni wonke, kodwa - ngeke ukholwe - isipontshi! Isipontshi sangempela esimunca ngokubonga konke engikushoyo, futhi senza konke okusemandleni ukufeza ukuhluka okucashile kakhulu.

Omunye umqhubi odumile, uHerbert von Karajan, naye akasifihli isimo sakhe sengqondo ngoCarreras: “Izwi eliyingqayizivele. Mhlawumbe i-tenor enhle kakhulu futhi enothando engiyizwile empilweni yami. Ikusasa lakhe liyizingxenye eziculayo nezimangalisayo, azokhanya kuzo. Ngisebenza naye ngokukhulu ukujabula. Uyisisebenzi sangempela somculo.”

Umculi uKiri Te Kanawa uhambisana nezihlakaniphi ezimbili zekhulu lesi-XNUMX: “UJose ungifundise okuningi. Unguphathina omkhulu ngokwembono yokuthi esiteji ujwayele ukunikela ngaphezu kokufuna kumlingani wakhe. Uyiqhawe langempela esiteji nasempilweni. Uyazi ukuthi abaculi abanomona kangakanani ngokushaya ihlombe, ukukhothama, konke okubonakala kuyisilinganiso sempumelelo. Ngakho, angizange ngiwuqaphele lomona ongenangqondo kuye. Uyinkosi futhi ukwazi kahle. Kodwa futhi uyazi ukuthi noma yimuphi umuntu wesifazane eduze kwakhe, kungaba umlingani noma umklami wezingubo, uyindlovukazi.”

Konke kwahamba kahle, kodwa ngosuku nje, uCarreras waphenduka umculi odumile waba umuntu ongenakho ukukhokhela ukwelashwa. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuxilongwa - i-leukemia - kushiye ithuba elincane lokusindiswa. Kuwo wonke u-1989, iSpain yabuka ukufiphala kancane kweciko elithandekayo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, wayenohlobo lwegazi oluyivelakancane, futhi i- plasma yokufakelwa kwadingeka iqoqwe ezweni lonke. Kodwa akukho okwasiza. UCarreras uyakhumbula: “Ngesikhathi esithile, angizange ngibe nandaba: umndeni, isiteji, ukuphila ngokwako … ngangifuna ngempela ukuthi yonke into iphele. Ngangingaguli nje kuphela. Nami ngifile ukukhathala.”

Kodwa kwakukhona indoda eyayiqhubeka ikholelwa ekululameni kwayo. UCaballe ubeke eceleni yonke into ukuze abe seduze noCarreras.

Futhi-ke kwenzeka isimangaliso - impumelelo yakamuva yemithi yanikeza umphumela. Ukwelashwa okwaqalwa eMadrid kwaqedwa ngempumelelo e-USA. ISpain yakwamukela ngentshiseko ukubuya kwakhe.

“Wabuya,” kubhala u-A. Yaroslavtseva. “Ezacile, kodwa engalahlekelwa umusa wemvelo nokuhamba kalula, elahlekelwa ingxenye yezinwele zakhe zikanokusho, kodwa egcina futhi ekhulisa ubuhle obungangabazeki nobuheha bowesilisa.

Kubonakala sengathi ungakwazi ukuzola, uhlale endlini yakho ephansi ehamba ihora ngemoto ukusuka e-Barcelona, ​​​​udlale ithenisi nezingane zakho futhi ujabulele injabulo ethule yomuntu ophunyuke ngokuyisimangaliso ekufeni.

Akukho okufana nalokhu. Imvelo engapheli kanye nesimo sengqondo, okuyinto enye yezintandokazi zakhe eziningi ezibizwa ngokuthi "ezibhubhisayo", ziphinde zamphonsa esihogweni esinzima. Yena, owacishe wahlwithwa i-leukemia ekuphileni, uyashesha ukubuya ngokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka ekwamukelweni kokungenisa izihambi kwesiphetho, esihlale simthela ngezipho zayo.

Engakalulami ekuguleni okubi, uya eMoscow eyonikeza ikhonsathi evuna izisulu zokuzamazama komhlaba e-Armenia. Futhi ngokushesha, ngo-1990, ikhonsathi edumile yabadlali abathathu yenzeka eRome, eNdebeni yoMhlaba.

Nakhu okwabhalwa uLuciano Pavarotti encwadini yakhe: “Kithina sobathathu, le khonsathi eBaths of Caracalla isibe ngesinye sezenzakalo ezibalulekile ekuphileni kwethu kokudala. Ngaphandle kokwesaba ukubonakala kungenasizotha, ngithemba ukuthi sekuyinto engasoze yalibaleka ngeningi lalabo abakhona. Labo ababebukele ikhonsathi ku-TV bezwa uJosé okokuqala ngqa selokhu alulama. Lokhu kudlala kubonise ukuthi wabuyela ekuphileni hhayi nje njengomuntu, kodwa futhi njengomculi omkhulu. Ngempela sasisesimweni esihle kakhulu futhi sicula ngesasasa nenjabulo, okuyinto engavamile uma sicula ndawonye. Futhi njengoba sanikeza ikhonsathi evuna uJosé, sanelisekile ngemali encane yakusihlwa: kwakuwumvuzo olula, ngaphandle kwezinkokhelo eziyinsalela noma ezibanjwayo ekuthengisweni kwamakhasethi alalelwayo nawevidiyo. Sasingazitsheli ukuthi lolu hlelo lomculo luzothandwa kangaka futhi kube nalezi zinto ezilalelwayo nama-video. Konke kwaqanjwa njengomkhosi omkhulu we-opera onabadlali abaningi, njengenkokhiso yothando nenhlonipho kuzakwethu ogulayo noluleme. Imvamisa ukwenza okunje kwamukelwa kahle ngumphakathi, kepha kunomsindo omncane emhlabeni.

Emzamweni wokubuyela esiteji, uCarreras uphinde wesekwa nguJames Levine, Georg Solti, Zubin Meta, Carlo Bergonzi, Marilyn Horn, Kiri Te Kanava, Katherine Malfitano, Jaime Aragal, Leopold Simono.

UCaballe ucele uCarreras ngeze ukuthi azinakekele ngemuva kokugula kwakhe. “Ngicabanga ngami,” kuphendula uJosé. “Akwaziwa ukuthi ngizophila isikhathi esingakanani, kodwa kuncane kakhulu osekwenziwe!”

Futhi manje uCarreras ubamba iqhaza emcimbini wokuvula i-Barcelona Olympic Games, uqopha ama-solo disc amaningana ngeqoqo lezingoma zothando kakhulu emhlabeni. Unquma ukucula indima yesihloko ku-opera i-Stiffelio ehlelelwe yena ikakhulukazi. Kuyafaneleka ukusho ukuthi kuyinkimbinkimbi kangangokuthi ngisho noMario Del Monaco wanquma ukucula kuphela ekupheleni komsebenzi wakhe.

Abantu abamaziyo lo mculi bamchaza njengomuntu onengxabano kakhulu. Kuhlanganisa ngokumangalisayo ukuzihlukanisa nokusondelana nomoya onobudlova nothando olukhulu lokuphila.

UPrincess Caroline waseMonaco uthi: “Ubonakala engifihlela ngandlela-thile, kunzima ukumkhipha egobolondweni lakhe. Uyingcosana, kodwa unelungelo lokuba njalo. Kwesinye isikhathi uyahlekisa, ezikhathini eziningi ugxila kakhulu ... Kodwa ngihlala ngimthanda futhi ngimazisa hhayi nje njengomculi osezingeni eliphezulu, kodwa futhi njengomuntu omnandi, onesipiliyoni.

UMaria Antonia Carreras-Coll: “UJose ungumuntu ongalindelekile neze. Ihlanganisa izici eziphambene kangangokuthi ngezinye izikhathi kubonakala kungakholeki. Ngokwesibonelo, ungumuntu ozigodlile ngendlela emangalisayo, kangangokuthi kwabanye kubonakala sengathi akanayo nhlobo imizwa. Eqinisweni, unomoya oqhuma kunayo yonke engake ngabhekana nayo. Futhi ngabona abaningi babo, ngoba eSpain abavamile nhlobo.

UmkaMercedes omuhle, owathethelela bobabili uCaballe noRicciarelli, kanye nokubonakala kwabanye "abalandeli", bamshiya ngemuva kokuba uCarreras eba nesithakazelo kumodeli osemusha wasePoland. Nokho, lokhu akuzange kuthinte uthando lwezingane zika-Alberto noJulia ngoyise. UJulia usho kanje: “Uhlakaniphile futhi ujabule. Futhi, ungubaba ongcono kakhulu emhlabeni.
