Toreador Song (法語曲名 Votre toast, je peux vous le rendre) 是比才歌劇 Carmen (卡門) 第二幕的經典詠嘆調,也是一首專為男中音量身訂做的曠世佳作。這首豪情狂放的詠嘆調,旋律快意優美,是 Carmen 歌劇中的耀眼明珠,也是許多知名男中音口袋必備的曲目。 1 B5 o. E( [( T# P4 x/ _) d! b, O' ~3 d+ x) e# d6 u

世界知名男低音 Nicolai Ghiaurov 五十年前錄製的版本。& U) f1 r" h. ], d9 P4 C+ m
Nicolai Ghiaurov 的音域較廣,從 bass 到 bass baritone 都可以勝任,所以可以完美詮釋這首 Toreador Song。 ' L" a) c3 { V2 {! `3 U I7 y: P/ o7 U
