@@mickey1849 Er... In this aria Canio is NOT angry and NOT ready to kill .You confuse arias. Here he is supposed to be desillusioned , grief-stricken and despising himself . Reading the libretto anyone?
@@mickey1849 Is your last comment supposed to tell me something or did your keyboard get stuck? People who went to school are able to write entire sentences.
Lauri Volpi and Caruso are my favourite performers of this aria. They had different tones (Caruso's tone was dark and heavy, Lauri-Volpi's was light and ringing), but both were masterful singers educated in the verismo era.
Highest possible vowel placement, early covering and no pushing at all. As a result he sounds almost innocent and much less dramatic compared to the powerhouses MDM and Corelli... technically very similar to what Caruso did.
He's wasted on this inferior stuff... or is he? Lauri-Volpi's very careful attention to phrasing makes even an undistinguished aria sound like interesting music, when in fact it’s anything but interesting. Perhaps this is the true measure of greatness, make uninteresting stuff sound interesting... perhaps this is the greatest distinction Leoncavallo's unsophisticated music can expect, to be sung by a lyric-dramatic bel canto tenor... but I still feel he's wasted on it. Everybody can sing Canio, few can sing Arturo, Arnold, Raoul, all Verdi, and, and.
In singing as an Opera Singer NEVER PUSH, Lauri-Volpi was right in all his renditions!
First learn the rules, then break them if/when the moment is ripe. THIS Pagliacci is angry and ready to kill. Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!!

Beautiful singing ! Brava GIACOMO LAURI VOLPI !

Cobalt Blau checkout also Corelli’s vershion. I find it astonishing as well.
PURA MARAVILLA
On this recording he has a voice resembling so much Caruso!
Would've liked to hear him push the high notes a little more, make them more strident, but overall an excellent rendition.
MAI SPINGERE NEL CANTO LIRICO, NEMMENO GLI ACUTI!

Which doesn’t work very well for this aria, seeing as he is supposed to murder two people in the next act.
Bravissimo.. Peccato solo che le grandi voci del passato stiano cadendo nel dimenticatoio... Questo nn è giusto
Esatto. Ora la gente apprezza bocelli e domingo😨
