I love Tito Gobbi. He seems so straightforward, at first, but he's actually really subtle, the way he changes the color of his vowels when he repeats a word or a phrase. He was great as DonG, but even better as the Count in Le nozze di Figaro. Audio only, alas: ruclips.net/video/tl5TlMNaNDk/видео.html
I think part of this comes from the sound track being slightly sped up (from what I understand something they had to do for old movies, to match up the sound to the video?) it sounds higher to me than normal for Gobbi
This is a great find. If only the transfer speed was corrected so we could really hear them sing this in the original key of D minor, it would've been perfect.
I am currently making some preparations to work on an animation project for Don Giovanni's penultimate scene. It's always great to find new references and inspirations!
Even better you can download the film with this link: ruclips.net/user/redirect?v=5uyfHtBRyJQ&redir_token=9nCtnb9yPPllA0Zajep6kDkxhDV8MTU5MDY5MzU2MkAxNTkwNjA3MTYy&html_redirect=1&event=video_description&q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.filefactory.com%2Ffile%2F3ruya7li9uwp%2FEldfageln.1952.Gobbi.Gedda.mp4 Dont worry it’s not a virus. Thanks!

Tito Gobbi should not have touched this role. This role is for strong bass, not for a light baritone. Gobbi is an actor, but his voice is not for everything. Sorry! I have many strong basses in this role and Gobbi is nothing in comparison. See Mozart's partitura; he says, the role is for bass.

At times a very open sound...so natural...even sounded tenor like.

Never heard him as Don Giovanni, not even mentioning seeing him! Amazing find!
La dimostrazione che Gobbi se voleva sapeva cantare ! incredibile
