In my early 20s, I heard GG at The Little Gem Church in Manchester in the early 1980s. He was on tour at the time with Royal Opera in La Forza Del Destino. He sang Panis Angelicus by Cesar Frank accompanied by the church organ. I immediately recognised his voice was the biggest voice I had ever heard and of a beauty as well. It was an extraordinary experience. And afterwards the congregation waited outside and applauded him as he came out with the priest. It was like a scene from a movie. Remarkable memories!
My uncle / Singing teacher showed me this video in one of our very first classes and I still remember it with so much affection. My uncle is gone, but his teachings are still with me, even when this video wasn't easy to find after a few years. Thank you for uploading it.
Thank you so much for posting this! I have searched and listened to all of Giacomini's recordings multiple times but I never heard this. What a joy to hear that voice again - glorious as always.
Glielo da', quel suggerimento, uno che di Opera non sapeva nulla e ne diresse assai poche in verità. Si chiamava Gianandrea Gavazzeni ( che dirigeva quell'Opera.. ). Il video fu fatto dal baritono Giuseppe Riva. Esiste anche la versione in scena, della stessa rappresentazione, con un video fatto da dietro le quinte dove Riva dice, con grande ragione, alla fine dell'aria, "Il più grande tenore del mondo". ruclips.net/video/bQuqg7znLkk/видео.html
@@St.Garoosh Giacomini sang many times in Chicago and at the Met. All to very good reviews and not one review stated that his voice was throaty or as you say Ingolata. It was a big voice in the theater that carried well.
@sugarbist sorry you dont hear it. Big voice has nothing to do with it. Listen to Correli, Bjorling, Pavarotti Caruso, any of the great tenors. None of their voices are ingolata.

One of the greatest underrated dramatic tenors!
Grande tenore del mundo

Grandissimo artista lirico tenore grande amico mio e artista di grande prestigio. Un abbraccio Nadia Rossi ovunque tu sia
Фантастический голос!!! ❤
A vocal magician! R.I.P.
Certo ci vuole coraggio a dare suggerimenti d’espressione a Giacomini … una delle voci piú espressive mai sentite ❤
E' vero !

I was watching this in university back when I was studying opera singing
And it is still a huge moment for me
Da brividi.
сам ты противный или сама
Is that Mirella Freni in the back?
Yes.
@@ArturoMelocchiAcademyI know she’s thinking, ‘schifo! Una voce ingolata!”
@@St.Garoosh She says to him "Bravo" after he finishes the aria.

The greatest tenor after Caruso
N importe quoi
