His Napolitan Songs album became so popular, he used to perform often lead roles of great operas in Mexico, but this 1952 performance shows the tenor at his best.
Giuseppe, caro compesanuccio, Sei stato er più di tutti i Tenori. Sei stato un grande, Sei indimenticabile. Ora non ci sei più, il Signore ti ha chiamato a sé Per ascoltati nel coro degli Angeli. Riposa in pace Giuseppe caro
Isn't it interesting that so many thousands of operatic tenors (and any tenors for that matter) have done covers of this Aria (and other arias also for that matter) still it sparks interest because no one sang it the same way twice.
Favoloso Pippo ...non ci sono confronti per nessuno con la sua voce solare, vellutata con i suoi splendidi armonici resta in noi tutti che l'adoriamo....Sono convinta che Giuseppe Verdi(deceduto il 27 gennaio) l'avrebbe amata come amava far servire il poeta prima del musicista!
I heard my grandmother name this man as a relative of hers, he also has some looks I see in my grandmother. I hope I figure out the mysterious of the Giuseppe Di Stefano Im related to!
This is fantastic! Footage of Giuseppe is relatively rare, and this appears to have been his only appearance on the Ed Sullivan show. Thanks so much for uploading it! I hope to see more great tenors like more Jan Peerce (doing both popular songs like "You'll Never Walk Alone", "The Sweetest Sounds", etc. as well as opera), James Melton ("Beyond the Sea" etc.), Mario Del Monaco, Lauritz Melchior, and many others that were on the Sullivan show. Those are some of the appearances I'd like to see the most!
That was the entertainment of the past, now it is trap, rap, reggaeton. Humanity is in it's last throes and add to it the demise of national Geographic, Reader's Digest among others. Being uncultured is a right today, something to boast about!
C'è chi scrive credendo di essere " competente" parlando di diminuendo. Pippo di Stefano è, e sarà x SEMPRE, una voce sublime del canto lirico.( Ce ne fossero oggi aimé) Inoltre un trombone da l'acuto prolungato, e poco musicale, non fa una romanza...
He had issues with covering the voice. Pitches that supposed to be covered. F, F#, G, were sung uncovered. even A's. That stuffs up the high notes. It is like driving a car and not changing gear as you accelerate past a certain speed. This caused his larynx to raise and his voice to get stuck. When you sing well you can sing these notes uncovered fairly easy. But it is against the rules of nature. In a very short time, you lose your upper notes. There is just a temptation to do it. Because it can feel quite liberating. You need to allow the covering muscles to come into play otherwise the tilting action of the larynx gets interrupted. You can see he gets stuck and he has a whole bunch of issues. His voice intonation goes off, his voice gets a little nasal and pressed. The transition up and down the scale gets more uneasy and loses the homogenous sound of good singing. You get that sense of uneasiness in his singing.
@@RadamesAida2Operaloversyou are exactly right. I suspect he had a natural voice.... not having to learn the register changes consciously and when he got off track technique wise..he was lost
Maybe so, but considering how little live video that there is of Di Stefano actually vocalizing, this is still a gem of a historical document. Del Monaco, Bjorling, Tucker and Corelli did far more live singing with Sullivan and Firestone.
As usual, he's horribly FLAT on the final B. That aside, the rest of the performance was beautiful. He surely needed to study longer and develop a much better technique especially on the top notes.
@@e-bikeskibum7141 Of course he covered! True… he sang much more open than many other tenors, but all the Ab, Bb and of corse the final B natural are covered, just not “as covered” as Corelli, Fat Pav etc… Flat? Oh well… maybe, but honestly who cares? I bet you can do better, right?
His voice was truly unique and God given like Lanza's. So if one understands that sound it has a natural cover to it as he did in his late 40s recording around the passagio and above , but as he got older he tended to open more for effect and possibly more "exciting sound"?
As a Di Stefano myself, I have to believe we were related in some small way. Very proud!
La Voce è indiscutibilmente Bella !!! 🙂
Finest, most handsome Duke, by voice and by look!!!
That diminuendo. So beautiful.
The best diminuendo i've heard.
One of the many trademarks of him, most handsome voice even without that...
Excelente tenor. Bravo.
I love him.This is beautiful.Thank you for posting❤
Documento histórico . Inédito . Bravoooooo Pippo !
Bravo, bravo, bravo, Pippo un deleite para el alma!!

La voz de Di Stefano entre 1946 y 1956 fue la mejor de después de la guerra, también lo dijeron Del Monaco, Carreras, Pavarotti y muchos otros.
Giuseppe, caro compesanuccio,
Sei stato er più di tutti i Tenori.
Sei stato un grande,
Sei indimenticabile.
Ora non ci sei più,
il Signore ti ha chiamato a sé
Per ascoltati nel coro degli Angeli.
Riposa in pace Giuseppe caro
The best ✔️
thank you for including glimpses of Ed before and/or after the performance....this really makes the difference!

Unbelievable!!!!! What a singing!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow.
The best ever
Pure Gold !!!! Pippo for ever !
Grande entre los grandes.
EL MÁS GRANDE

🌹❤️🌹
How can you do not loving him?
Too big!!!!!!
In his prime no one better considered the best since Gigli
The authentic high tenor version of Caruso. As for that soapy crooner Beniamino whatever...
VOZ DE ORO
Giuseppe Non plus ultra di Stefano

“Come on, let’s hear it for my little paesan”???
Yes, so stupid this man saying that; even Di Stefano does not put attention to it
Es el javier solis de la opera que hermosa voz
Certo a quei tempi Di Stefano non era del tutto da buttar via ...diciamo così...
Here not only he "drank" the breath, he drank the sound as well.
I suspect it's the digital sound processing. It can be all over the map in these Ed Sullivan uploads.
@@oldgoody1he is notorious for his lack of technique
Was Giuseppe tired?
No

Jamas morira
The diminuendi were gorgeous but that last note was painfully flat.
Да, полностью на головном регистре.
Couldn’t even hear a thing 😂
Singing was inimitable and superior the orchestra was hot garbage and didn't help!
Sad reminder of how vulgar our common culture has become.
You're right
Not quite Pippo's best. He tends to push a little sharp except for the the final B which is flat.
Maybe so, but considering how little live video that there is of Di Stefano actually vocalizing, this is still a gem of a historical document. Del Monaco, Bjorling, Tucker and Corelli did far more live singing with Sullivan and Firestone.
Perrosiutico, pur essendo un fan incondizionato del grande Pippo, purtroppo devo darti ragione. Ha fatto di meglio, molto meglio.
If you need to pick, suit yourself
Ha fatto di meglio ... Calante
2 diminuendi non fanno un aria
Ha fatto meno peggio...
Calante 2 diminuendi non fanno un aria.
Meglio allora Florez e Sartori...o Schreier...
As usual, he's horribly FLAT on the final B. That aside, the rest of the performance was beautiful. He surely needed to study longer and develop a much better technique especially on the top notes.
He never covered like Corelli, Pavarotti etc..... He always sang his high range wide open, which led to singing flat a lot. It's just bad technique.
@@e-bikeskibum7141 Of course he covered! True… he sang much more open than many other tenors, but all the Ab, Bb and of corse the final B natural are covered, just not “as covered” as Corelli, Fat Pav etc… Flat? Oh well… maybe, but honestly who cares? I bet you can do better, right?

@@dennisj.3439 however, he was flat on the final B natural.
OMG - not great!!!!
Cazzo , quanto naso .
Когда то он пел и очень прилично,но желание быть выше и заносы в жизни уничтожили голос и личность,за все надо платить.
