Corelli. In any case. Pav. Is a lyric tenor . Manrico's part is for dramatic or cpinto voice. Pav takes liberty to sing any part he choses, which is no good He even was bold enough to risk Othello, whic was a disaster!😮
As my mother pointed out - when we watched 'Trovatore' - this is the first really big aria for the tenor, and he's had to do a lot of singing before it already. So by the time he gets to this point it's been at least 1hr, and suddenly he has to do this major aria ending on a high note (literally). So really, the only way to properly judge this is to judge actual performances, rather than random solos.
Actually, Verdi didn't write the climax with the high C's (or rather the many high B's we are hearing here). It was improvised by a tenor known for his big upper voice, Eric Tamberlick. Tamberlick then visited Verdi to show him and get his approval. Verdi listened and said "if this is what the audience wants, give it to them. But-they had better be good."

Corelli Bonisolli Lauri Volpi Caruso Bjorling Lanza Del Monaco Fisichella Pavarotti Este es mi Top10 Ahhh ¿falta uno porque mencioné a 9??? Yo hubiera agregado a Aureliano Pertile, pero no está entre los publicados.
Hey dear friend,I hope you don't mind making new friends and music,you seem to be a music lover do you have any recommendations for me,I love gospel songs ❤
I think it might have been fairer to have a rendition of Luciano Pavarotti's when he sang it in the original key as he did in the 1970s. The version played was from the 1990s when, still excellent, but below his prime performances of the aria. Both the version Caruso and Mario Lanza sang was a concert version, which in Caruso's case would probably have been down to recording space on an acoustic disk. The version of Mario Lanza's is from the movie Serenade, so I am not quite sure why he did not sing the entire ending... perhaps trying to keep the length of the movie down, the movie was very much edited as it ran quite long. I would have loved to see the full cut as there were whole heaps of stuff cut out. Del Monaco sings everything the same, so ... Hard to judge exactly. As it is not contesting like with like.
One can hear this aria Mario Lanza sang in its entirety, just by looking him up on RUclips. It is only cut in the movie for the sake of time but he sang the whole aria before the movie cut its beginning. I promise you that you will like it quite a bit.

As much as I enjoyed this video, it's really sad to hear, how present singers (even those considered "big stars", like Kaufmann) struggle to sing anything close to old masters. I mean come on: who called Grigolo "the next Pavarotti"? Ridiculous. I like most versions recorderd before the 90s, with the exception of ones, where it was "o teco corro a morir" instead of "All'armi!". I don't know, what year was Fisichella's version recorded, but I liked it too. My favorite? I think here it would be Pavarotti's one. Although in general I love Corelli's performance from his Met debut most- check it out :)
Bonisolli and Corelli! At their time, there was not so much PR as later for the 3 Tenors, so they were not so popular outside the opera houses. But their voices still outshine all others.
So many of these are not even high C's, they're transposed into B major, even Pavarotti's is a high B.........for me the best C's are Corelli, Bonisolli and Fisichella
you have to take into account that the older singers didn't have technologically advanced recording equipment. it was just singing into a horn, basically.
Someone who got ears in place and watch full video knew 3 or for best voices ever. Caruso, Gigli, Volpi, Del Monaco, Corelli and 2 tenors who have enough technique and intellect to do not this role in full opera. Fisichella and Kraus of course. Bjorling one of most impressive singers)
Ooh hi, I have a request! Can you do who does it best for the riffs in Heart of Stone! Here are some examples: - Natalie Weiss (she deserves more recongition) - Jasmine Forsberg (there’s a few, but the one from the Desk show that actually shows how clear her riff was!) - Natalie Parris (OG of the OG) - Abby Mueller - Claudia Karuki - Caitlin Tipping (her whistle notes are very clear!) - Jason Gotay (yes, he actually did a cover!)
This may not be ideal repertoire for him, but kudos to Fisichella. A well-placed, ringing high C (not a B as in many of these clips) which he sustains well. His high notes were always fantastic.
Franco Corelli owns this aria and Manrico, Franco Bonisolli was also very good, as was Lauri-Volpi. Mario Del Monaco was also good in this role. Many of these singers would struggle to sing this role night after night. A lot of them are singing B4, not the C5, it is often customary to sing this one note lower when performed live.
Bonisolli is so ridiculously over the top , is so very old fashioned in his "acting" - running down to the edge of the stage, in case the audience didn't know he was singing - and I do Not need or Want to see his navel, or what passes for chest hair - seriously, that's just gross....lolol Corelli and del Monaco *should* sound decent - their's were pre-recorded in a Sound Studio and they had 25 takes or more to get it right --- and Corelli, as is often the case, scoops up to the final note from about a 3rd below
@rugby8-Philadelphia :: 25 takes to get it right !! If it took that many takes, the tenor shouldn't be singing Manrico ! Corelli, "scooping" ? Corelli rarely scooped and definitely not here.
@@rugby8-Philadelphia Bonisolli was certainly not the most nuanced or thoughtful singer. But he did have a very good voice, opera is about the voice. Corelli probably sang this role live more then anyone else, his live recording with von Karajan from 1962 alongside Price is one of the very best versions available. Del Monaco was a good Manrico but the role was slightly to high for his voice, he only performed the role a handful of times.
@@cliffgaither Scooping? Yes Regarding the takes - have you ever been *in* a recording studio, or sound engineer's booth during the recording process ? Believe it or not, there are Often an inordinate amount of takes. Sections, phrases, etc
@@ZENOBlAmusic Lol - I agree with your comments, except, Opera is not ALL about the voice, or it would have remained in concert, or oratorio, format. Fortunately through the last 6+ decades a larger expectation has been put upon the singers for dramatically valid, and Honest connection to the text. Not running around like a WWE wrestler on steroids showing off his ... "Masculinity". Although, Lord knows, tenors have often done that since the beginning of time 😜😜😜
Hey dear friend,I hope you don't mind making new friends and music,you seem to be a music lover do you have any recommendations for me,I love gospel songs ❤
En la realidad Luciano Pavarotti es el mejor de todos iguala al Doctor Corelli, y a Bonisolli, tomemos es cuenta que las operas que se cantaban en las temporadas no sé puede estar repitiendo a cada rato ese gran reto de estar agudizando la voz hasta Do sobreagudo o lo que muchos le llaman Do de pecho, el exigir estar a cada rato cantando Diquella Pira, en cada presentación estar cantando a cada rato Do sobreagudo desgasta también la cuerda vocal de cada tenor y es por eso que en este video podemos apreciar a Luciano Pavarotti que le hayan bajado medio tono de esa área lo cual en este video no han puesto a Luciano Pavarotti cantando Di quella Pira, en su poderoso y verdadero Do Sobreagudo, que dejaría opacados a todititos los que han puesto acá.
corelli, and it isn't even close. Bonisolli, Del Monaco, Volpi and Björling were the only other ones doing the climax justice. Arturo Chacon surprised me tho tbh
Tô me, it was Mario Lanza, hands down. Not just in this aria, but also, in every one that he has ever interpreted, and in every song he sang. He is considered to be on top of the greatest tenor and baritone of the nineteenth century. Nobody comes close to him when he sings “Un di allo azzurro spazio”. It os as of Thiago aria were composed especially for him. Also, the aria “Chi mi frena in tal momento”. Spectacular renditions of just two of all his electrifying way of singing.
He couldnt sing a full opera esppecially chenier,he was fine singing arias indivdually but singing entire operas no way,its great you love lanza,i like him myself but better tenor than del monaco,corelli,vinay,pertile,bjoerling,bergonzi,di stefano,gigli,caruso,vickers,tucker,martineli,merli,kraus,gedda,etc..not a hope,all these tenors sang real opera on stage not hollywood opera like lanza

Tra l'altro è imponente anche prima dell'acuto
Mario Filippeschi and Lauri Volpi
Corelli, Corelli ed ancora Corelli. È irraggiungibile.
Beh, debbo dire che è una bella sfida tra Corelli e Bonisolli
correct. Hands down. He was the master.
Corelli era un tenor perfecto para esta ópera.
As much as I loved Pavarotti, I would have to say Corelli in this case.
Corelli. In any case. Pav. Is a lyric tenor . Manrico's part is for dramatic or cpinto voice. Pav takes liberty to sing any part he choses, which is no good

Franco Bonisolli and Franco Corelli are the best in this role
Bonisolli has amazing projection
@@amandac9894 He had good projection he was a spinto tenor, Corelli's voice had far more projection and size in realty.

C. O R E. L L. I👏👏👏👏👏
Corelli! Bonisolli!
I suppose at the back of his mind Verdi must have imagined a voice that could do justice to this aria and generations later along came Corelli.
Agree. The most dramatic and the best voice.
Actually, Verdi didn't write the climax with the high C's (or rather the many high B's we are hearing here). It was improvised by a tenor known for his big upper voice, Eric Tamberlick.

1) Corelli, 2) DelMonico, 3) Fisichela I can go either way on 2&3 but Corelli #1 in this case.
del Monaco was a B, Corelli and Fisichella were C's
Corelli, Bonisolli and Lauri-Volpi are the best by far. Some should not have been listed, they are not good at all.
Corelli: absolutely!
Corelli, of course 🥰
Franco Corelli as Manrico, Calaf and Andrea Chenier ❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

There were not many tenors that had better technique than Corelli.

Fisichella
Pavarotti

Etore bergamaschi
Mario Filippeschi
Filippeschi! Filippeschi!!! King of acuti!!!
Bjorling and Corelli !!
Well, considering they're not all singing C's, here's my verdict. 1. Fisichella 2. Corelli 3. Pavarotti
Fischella underrated unfortunately.
Sempre delmonaco e Corelli! Voce e bellezza!
Hey dear friend,I hope you don't mind making new friends and music,you seem to be a music lover do you have any recommendations for me,I love gospel songs ❤
Giacomo Lauri Volpi is over the top. Corelli is wonderful too. They are from another planet IMHO.
I think it might have been fairer to have a rendition of Luciano Pavarotti's when he sang it in the original key as he did in the 1970s. The version played was from the 1990s when, still excellent, but below his prime performances of the aria.

Corelli, Bonisolli !
Corelli without a doubt. I actually think Bocelli hit it right on and held it for forever. Great vid!
Франко Корелли, Марио дель Монако, Сальваторе Физикела - 👍🏻
Corelli, Lauri-Volpi (Corelli stated that he always wanted to sing like Lauri-Volpi), Bonisolli.
Volpi, Corelli and Bonisolli❤
At the original key 1.-Corelli 2.-Fisichela 3.-Bonisolli. And Domingo to the last.
You saved the best for last.
Hey dear friend,I hope you don't mind making new friends and music,you seem to be a music lover do you have any recommendations for me,I love gospel songs ❤

Pavarotti, Bonisolli, MDM, Corelli (Grigolo and Eyvazov are not seriously in this contest…)
Бочелли тоже 😊
Corelli con su extraordinario do sobreagudo sostenuto.

Corelli,
Curiosamente los dos Francos: Bonisolli y Corelli y por supuesto Del Mónaco
Salvatore Fisichella & Arturo Chacón Cruz + FRANCO CO/REL/LI (chapeau)
Corelli!
As much as i love Pavarotti, this one is done the best by Del Monaco, his Pinkerton is also unbeated!
The recording of Jussi didn’t do him justice. The tone is gorgeous but it sounds like he is behind the orchestra.
Bonisolli and Corelli! At their time, there was not so much PR as later for the 3 Tenors, so they were not so popular outside the opera houses. But their voices still outshine all others.
1.- Corelli 2.- Fisichella 3.- Bonisolli 4.- Pavarotti 5. Caruso 6.- Arturo Chacón
Giacomo Lauri Volpi for ever !!! ❤
Golightly 🥰 I’m glad you’ve posted again even if it was almost a year ago
Fisichella.
Franco corelli all the way
So many of these are not even high C's, they're transposed into B major, even Pavarotti's is a high B.........for me the best C's are Corelli, Bonisolli and Fisichella
Franco Corelli fue el mejor y más rotundo Manrico de toda la discografía.
This piece was written for Corelli
you have to take into account that the older singers didn't have technologically advanced recording equipment. it was just singing into a horn, basically.
The 3 best for me in this video are the two Francos and Salvatore Fisichella
Very privy to Bonisolli, Pavarotti, del Monaco, and Kraus.
I have my favorites, but can't decide. Anyway, thanks for posting this.
BONISOLLI.
Of course, the best one is the last one.

Fisichella as well

Corelli by a mile.
0:18 He looks like hes about to die lol

Cervelli is the best for me. He hit and held the note clearly, on pitch throughout with great tonal quality, and held it for the longest time.
Tô me, it was Mario Lanza, hands down. Not just in this aria, but also, in every one that he has ever interpreted, and in every song he sang. He is considered to be on top of the greatest tenor and baritone of the nineteenth century. Nobody comes close to him when he sings “Un di allo azzurro spazio”. It os as of Thiago aria were composed especially for him. Also, the aria “Chi mi frena in tal momento”. Spectacular renditions of just two of all his electrifying way of singing.
