I was on the verge of weeping all through this. As a 50+ year opera fanatic I had not heard of some of these great voices. One cannot but be greatly moved by all the hard work and HEART it takes to make this kind of magic. Bravo and thanks for posting.
I love the commentary in this-full of interest and insight. The biggest revelation for me is Antonio Annaloro. I don't know how old he is but for an older man his voice is incredible!
What a lovely example of how to listen to classical singing. Very few singers are infallible and certainly fewer audiences are. This is a great example of the intersection of appreciation and education. No one has created Art successful when the heart and head are at odds. We would all do well to celebrate artistic triumphs rather than expecting perfection from the basely human impulse to communicate through song. Truly enjoyable video. Young singers, be moved by the music. You may not sing everything to perfection, but be among those singers that allowed music to move through them and if you move even a handful of your audience, you are successful.
Gracias,,, Amo este tipo de compilaciones... Y la Tauber pro Dios!!!! La Volpi!!!! lloré... Es el sueño de todos, cantar al final de la vida y tener al publico, cuidandote y amandote!!!! GRACIAS POR ESTE VIDEO
THANK YOU for these LIVE videos of the great singers and EDUCATION on REAL SINGING...for the world today...those singers of the past were the REAL singers!! everyone today.."STARS" are like WOBBLY overblowing MOSQUITOS!!
impressionante ANNALORO!!!!!!!! con quanta irruenza e quantità di suono sempre in grandiosa crescenza il "vincerò". Da mettere nella top class dei NESSUN DORMA. Sembra na favola. Chapeau
Mio Nonno il baritono Mino Cavallo canto' Carmen con Annaloro a San Sebastian nel 1948 . Uno fra i i tanti bravissimi della prima metà ed anche oltre del900. C' e' un carico di emozioni in quel modo di mettere la voce che e' inspigabile
Schmidt's "Postillon von Lonjumeau" was the favourite of my great aunt and I have never heard any tenor hitting the high notes so easily and with full voice without any falsetto
Annaloro and Lauri-Volpi are just amazing. Just shows what great training and technique can do. To sing like that at advanced ages puts most modern and considerably younger singers to shame.
Il concerto di Giacomini era a Padova e anch'io ero tra il pubblico, anch'io trasecolato dalla luminosa bellezza di quelle note e dalla loro disumana potenza. Ma furono attimi. Sarebbe bello poter rivivere quei momenti, ma tutto trascina via il tempo. Bellissimo video, comunque. Grazie.
I'm surprised to see Carol Neblett. I love her so much in this clip. She had a very troubled career and I would not expect to see her in something like this.
I was fortunate enough to be in a production with Carol Neblett once and yes she was wonderful. That voice , that generous temperament. She filled the theatre with warmth and personality. Apparently she went through some tough challenges in life which maybe impacted her career, but what a kind person, a true woman of the theatre , an artiste.
Schmidt’s facility with high notes is amazing and he has a great edge and squillo to his voice. Had his career not been destroyed by the Nazi persecution I believe he would have been right up there with Bjorling.
Some favourites. My uncle was a professional singer, a tenor in Melbourne and at 14 I was introduced to the tenor who was to become my favourite…Richard Tauber and 64 years later I’m still listening to him and many others. I really enjoyed this video
Grazie mille AfroPoli for sharing this with us. I've seen brief video clips of that concert that Giacomini gave. Like you said,on his good days he was meraviglioso. What an astounding voice. Bravissimo Giacomini
I don't know how anyone can have the balls to criticize Domingo, one of the greatest tenors of all time. He has fabulous technique and his voice has changed which gives him multiple facets over the years. His deeper richer more mature sound now is just a spectacular in a different way, I just love the guy. Before I was an opera freak I would listen to him not knowing how big of a name he was, completely enamored. I play piano in violin and it was forced to learn opera ask part of my musical education and indeed actually have a voice similar to Domingo and that I can sing tenor or baritone, I have even performed in a few operas because of that feature. He is a person I look up to and again cannot find any real reason to criticize such a great singer. Then again, everyone likes to criticize everything these days, I wish this world more happiness in the next lifetime
I like your respectful critical point of view you present in your videos. All technique aside, we are still humans who can make mistakes but try their best when making art. It is not fine of this percentage of people completely destroying singers with their criticism as they mostly didnt sing on stage or do not sing at all. This video shows it is still art and singers had also very rich moments in their ladder of career. 👍
Grazie. Una selezione intensissima. Mi ha emozionato fino alle lacrime il finale di "Addio, fiorito asil" cantato da Barioni veramente alla grande! Ma è strano che il regista in quel momento decida di inquadrare il baritono...
WE NEED MORE of the live performance videos!! RENATA TEBALDI..NILSSON...JERITZA..GIGLI..SIEPI..PONSELLE...MUZIO...MELCHIOR ..FLAGSTAD..etc etc etc ALL the ones BEFORE OR UP TO BEFORE 1980'S ...
Great compilation. I note that there is an inexplicable strong and violently anti-Bergonzi thread in comment boxes, contributed by native Italians. (The Nucci clip makes me sympathetic to the opinion that he was really a tenor.)
Domingo did the right thing here. Instead of singing those dramatic Verdi baritones that even the real baritones are struggling with, he should just sing art songs like this one!
I'm glad you made a list without the radicalism we quite often see on some sections of youtube. I may not agree with everything but like you said it's subjective. Well done!
Strange case Mr Domingo .....couldn't never be a real admirer. I have the greatest respect for his career , specially his activities as a leader of an opera-house resp 2.....as conductor or founder of his Operalia....but in the core of the business : as a tenor I had always problems with the art of Placido Domingo.
Wonderful wonderful commentary to compliment the extraordinary singing; pity the overrated Placido Domingo is included all this is as good as he gets to be fair ; that Gianni Poggi has been selected here is a monument to the intelligence of our host
I was at the Opera this year in Amsterdam, my children gave me two tickets for the Rosenkavelier, didn't expect it, was very interesting, Opera is not dead yet!
I could, but I liked the Bolshoi one the best. Then, it is super annoying to replace a clip when you already have recorded your voice over. I did not have time to do that yesterday.
Some people claim that his arching and looking up opens the throat while looking down (which includes neck extension) closes it. There is a video of a lesson with bass Bonaldo Giaiotti where he explains the theory behind it.
@@AfroPoli Thank you for the reply. I'll admit not sensing any tension, especially from Gigli. Now, Di Stefano is another matter. I'll look up R. Giaiotti, thanks.
The great Lauri Volpi , Tenor of tenors: Class, phrasing and musicality, intelligent technique, power and delicacy, great voice, charisma, etc. These are adjectives necessary to be a great opera singer, there are many mediocre singers (in this video there are some that I will not mention) but very few exceptional singers.
Let's review it from my point of view 40. Domingo Song - old Domingo, and still thin voice, he is a lieder singer, not an opera one...sorry. in the 60's he was better...and even that isn't good enough. 39. Bergonzi - Wow. You don't need to add more on the most elegant tenor ever. he is excellent in Verdi, especially in the early ones. I think he is less suited to Versimo (contrary to u), because of the orchestral scale 38.Nucci - great clip. very nice baritone. not a favourite of me. 37. Zancanaro - the best we have nowadays...... 36. Jaritza - just divine. end. 35. Schimdt - a god. what a loss to humanity he died so early. 34. Tauber - same like 35. 33. Piccaver - huge voice to the category of voice he is in. just great. 32. Kiepura - same like 36. 31. Gigli......the greatest. 30. Poggi - such a great voice, king of legato, not remembered enough. great bel canto example. 29. Pavarotti - divine between 1961 - 1980. the rest is also great. 28. Neblett - never liked her. a shadow of great spinto sopranos. though the clip is very good. 27. great Arroyo. no comment on the horrible piece. 26. Ramey - very good bass. like him. though not a god of some sort. 25. Giacomini - huge tenor voice. but ugly timber to me. matter of taste 24. Barioni - true versimo tenor. not remembered enough. 23. Annabelo - impressive. not a favourite 22. Volpi - god!!!!! the example that good technique never gets old! 21. Del Monaco - the divine singer and actor....just fabulous 20. Reinmar - a great singer, Wotan especially!
The first Bergonzi video confirms what I've always heard (and execrated): Italian singers, at least back in the day, sang N instead of M. I hear it constantly, and it sounds ridiculous. Someone as well trained as Battistini in theater diction should NOT be replacing sounds! If you can sing a P, you can sing an M! Senpre is not a word!
@@MaxdeSantana Yes, it does. Of course it does. This is basic anatomy and phonetics, dude. From Wikipedia: "The velopharyngeal port or velopharyngeal sphincter is the passage between the nasopharynx and the oropharynx. It is closed off by the soft palate and uvula against the rear pharyngeal wall during swallowing to prevent food and water from entering the nasal passages. During speech, it is open for nasal sounds and closed for oral sounds. It is affected by cleft palate, resulting in velopharyngeal consonants." N is a nasal sound. The port is open for all nasal sounds. The soft palate, when high, closes the port. When it is low, the port is open. Since the port is open for an N, the soft palate is low. "It is possible for the soft palate to retract and elevate during speech to separate the oral cavity (mouth) from the nasal cavity in order to produce the oral speech sounds. If this separation is incomplete, air escapes through the nose, causing speech to be perceived as nasal." Elevation (raising) closes the port. So what opens it? Lowering. "The voiced alveolar nasal is a type of consonantal sound used in numerous spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents dental, alveolar, and postalveolar nasals is ⟨n⟩" There you go. N is nasal, nasal = lower soft palate.
@@MaxdeSantana Read what I linked again (or for the first time). It's not complicated. "M, cause the N as i said before, and you seem to don't understand, doesn't lower your soft palate as the M consonant does" I already disproved this. You didn't even bother to attempt to back up this false claim. Why repeat yourself? Screaming into the void helps no one.
Se c'è una abitudine odiosa ormai diffusissima, è quella di voler fare le classifiche dei grandi artisti !!! I veri intenditori e amanti della musica devono astenersi da commenti come il Suo ! Basta dire : " Gigli è il MIO tenore preferito. ". Il mio tenore preferito è Lauri-Volpi, ma non direi mai che è migliore di Fleta o di Caruso o di Rosvaenge o di Gigli o di Pertile...
Domingo was a good tenor; wonderful musicality, often straining for the upper notes. He is a lousy baritone and singing Verdi was a big mistake. Yes he sings more roles than anyone else, but doesn't impress me at all. I knew of his sexual harassment in the 1980's in San Francisco. Chorus women would walk 2x2 to avoid getting "trapped." Too bad. Like James Levine, Domingo's legacy will be tainted by his proclivity for skirts. Nucci sounds wonderful but changed a lot during his long career.
"YOU HAVE IMPECCABLE TASTE.", The post is devastating, absolutely stunning how you put it together. BRAVO!!!

A shame that Leo Nucci didn’t sing like he does here very often, because he sounds absolutely sublime compared to his usual woffy, fake dramatic sound
Where was this guy when he's at his most famous?
I agree! I’ve never heard him sing this clear!
Very tenorial here...I didn't see the woofy so much until I heard this.

Lots of wobbles in these videos...
So Domingo sounded crappy even in his younger years.
Domingo da giovane cantava bene, nel periodo anni 60/ 70 è stato uno dei migliori. My opinion
Go listen to Domingo's flower song in 67 and Cavalleria in 66, and use your hearing for once instead of repeating the stupidities thrown around.
