  • Only footage of Berger. Ave Maria was a film made in the "spirit" of the new German-Italian entente.
    With Käte von Nagy & Harald Paulsen.

    Berger has always been my favorite singer. Hearing her here with Gigli is a revelation. They both have such pure, precise voices, full of emotion but perfectly controlled.

    Curious that Gigli seemed to have 2 voices. This light one when a microphone was present, and a spinto voice in live opera. The famous Manon Lescaut ! He is an entirely different singer.

    Mrs Berger was a fantastic singer, and Gigli supreme.

    stunning in it's beauty the voice of Gigli; the mezza-voce unrivaled by other tenor; with di Stefano and Wunderlich the most beautiful tenor voice recorded.
    Thanks for the post.

    What an amazing historical document of operatic culture in Germany in the mid-30's. Seeing this for the first time, I finally realized what Gigli meant to his generation. I had a hard time appreciating Erna Berger since her light coloratura gives her smooth sailing in Sempre libera, but then there's the rest. I've often wondered what Verdi was thinking when he wrote Traviata - the only soprano I know who could carry off both the coloratura in Act I and the dramatic intensity in the following acts was Callas. On the other hand, pitch was definitely lower in the 19th century and even if slightly so made a difference to the voices. Not criticizing, just interested in what others think about this apparent disparity in the composition.

    When I was about 16 (Now 83) I went to see Gigli in his farewell performance in London. I loved his voice on the records we had and I have to say I was so disappointed. He was old (to me) maybe 60 and his voice was thin and not a patch on his best. But nevertheless I am glad I went so I can say I saw him.

    Gigli and Lauri-Volpe studied in Rome with the same teacher.. Comparing him to anyone today is very difficult. He never uses too much voice and for that reason he doesn't sound like modern opera singers. So his is the model, and not what we hear today.

    Sabia que Gigle atuou em diversos filmes inclusive ao lado de Magda Schneider, mãe da Romy. Com a derrota das forças do Eixo, foram abolidas a influência Cultural principalmente a Italiana. Os Italianos fizeram um filme sobre a Anita Garibaldi que cheguei assistir na Década de 50 e os mais velhos me afirmavam terem assistido a produção Italiana da vida de Carlos Gomes. Espero encontrar na Cultura que está sendo a Internet. Será a Internet ? Sur La Liberté de Lá Consciente de Voltaire?

    Always interesting to see opera performed during an era long preceding its "invention". That is, long before the layers upon layers of so-called "hidden, secret meanings" were at last unearthed by someone named Maria Callas. Which is nonsense.

  • @rogerpropes7129
    @rogerpropes7129 5 лет назад

    Sound tracks in movies don't give an adequate impression of operatic voices since the recordings were greatly enhanced. Berger sounds shrill here but on records she is light and girlish. Rise Stevens said that she was filmed singing an octave lower and then dubbed with her own voice so her mouth would not be distorted on film.
