This is a very, very old style of singing which I so wish sould return.

@courtneybaritone01 But what if *our* fav singer is from the period decades BEFORE *your* fav singer? Then your lament is just an introductory pretext for heaping praise on your fav singer. Opera singing wasn't created in 1950, particularly bel canto singing. If you want belcanto singing you just go to the generations of singers who were trained in belcanto years and even decades before Bergonzi was born. Would have been more honest of you to just heap praise on the object of your affections like every other youtube fan and spare us the one-sided comparison. And if you haven't hear Bergonzi pouring out decibels indiscriminately like every other tenor you have listened very selectively only to the recordings in which he doesn't.
@@arepo Janie Honey if you don't like Maestro Carlo why do you have to leave your hate in every Bergonzi video.. sweetheart go listen whoever you like... not everyone understands refinement. Take the hint.
@@auntiezy4008 Honey, if you confuse critique with hate, your problem, not mine. If you believe someone can form an opinion about a singer without listening to them first, you are even more confused than I have thought it possible. I listen first, EXTENSIVELY, then I form an opinion, and because we live in a free world, I have the right to express my opinion. You would like to introduce censure? LOL. Poor Klonia, the knee jerk reaction of the offended and uneducated fan. And now Klonia, after getting so intimate with each other thanks to you "honey"-ing me, and I returning the familiarity, let's part ways again, I with my refinement and understanding of opera, you with... "Maestro" Carlo? Took the hint, darling Klonia?
@@mstipich1 Why ? well, He had the best phrasing ever ( he is always singing , never shouting or screaming, He was always aristocratic, elegant and refined). His breath control was impressive, the legato, nuances, colors. And even his top notes ( he was never the king of high C's ) in a good day were marvelous.
@@mstipich1 There's no need to envy him his ear or understanding, he's just a fan vaxing lyrically like many others. Bergonzi has the best phrasing ever? Why, has he listened to ALL tenors who have left recordings, beginning with those born in the 1840's and ending with those born in the 1990's, compared all these recordings with each other and made notes? He must have been terribly busy these past 50 years. Rest assured, Bergonzi did shout like every other tenor of the 1950-60's when it suited him. As to his so called top, he had very few good days.
@@arepo Well, long time ago I saw few TV interviews with his partners that praise Bergonzi's technique. As layman, I like Del Monaco's singing since it is very emotional and exiting. And Tito Gobi's
Oh, how much i miss you, my lovely, courageous, wonderful GREAT Maestro, please, bless us from HEAVEN!!!! Your singing is our consolation in this world!!!
My father took me to my first Opéra at the Old Met . I was 12 , it was a matinee , Rigoletto. Bergonzi was the Duke , Gianna D’Angelo , Gilda , and Cornell MacNeil was Rigoletto . All sang do beautifully .

Scusate per chi Domingo è un grande cantante per gli spaltisti per i loggionisti come lui c'è ne sono altri 99 che cantano meglio di lui ci ha rovinato i Mass media
Carlo Bergonzi ist, meiner Meinung nach, als Edgardo (Lucia), als Pollione (Norma), als Alfredo (La Traviata) nicht übertroffen worden. Sein Rodolfo machte die La Boheme unter Tullio Serafin perfekt, sein Cavaradossi in der zweiten Tosca mit Maria Callas aus Paris adelte diese Aufnahme. Auch wenn Giuseppe di Stefano, merklich, an der Seite von Maria Callas sein Bestes gab, hört/ empfindet man den Unterschied!!! Das sind, tatsächlich, Unterscheidungen auf hohem Niveau!!!
As I watch this I remember reading about the premiere of Lucia di Lammermoor in 1835, when tears were heard during the cello solo after he stabs himself, then the full hysteria from the audience at the end. People running up the aisles wailing and sobbing. Artists like Carlo Bergonzi can certainly deliver on that level, the same devastation that Gilbert Duprez, the first Edgardo, must’ve made the audience experience on that first night 😭
Magnificent. My only criticism was his stabbing suicide was pitiful. I could do a better job in the third grade. His dead chicken flop at the end kind of made up for it tho.
People in movies: *get stabbed, fall down, start chocking and die dramatically* People in operas: *get stabbed but stand and keep singing their hearts out*
Excellent singing from Bergonzi! It really is too bad there are mean-spirited people like “Ballet Janie” that respond to admiring comments with unnecessary hostility. Someone leaves perfectly innocent praise and there’s Ballet Jane spouting unsolicited and dismissive venom. It’s comes from insecurity and low self-esteem. It is sad, pseudo elitists like this that ruin opera groups I no longer join. All gracious commentary on opera are attacked by these jealous small people.
Rusty-I have probably taken more venom from Ballet Jane than anyone. I have tried to reason with her , but to no avail. I happen to think that the live Aida performance from the Met 1in 1963 was one of the greatest ever with Price, Bergonzi, Gorr and Sereni. The Nile scene in particular with Bergonzi almost sounding almost like a helden tenor finishing the scene with an extended high A which brought the house down at the Met. Ballet Jane who does have an extended knowledge of operatic singing technique . Basically says that Bergonzi "bottled" the final note by not singing a B. She says that he is a jumped up baritone. Yes he did start his career as a baritone as Caruso did. But even though I do not have the" expertise" of Jane. Another Bernstein thought very highly of him and used him as Rudolfo in his musical education programme on TV in the States. I am in agreement with contributor GermanOpera Singer that Bergonzi was the finest Verdi lyric tenor of the 20th century.. It's interesting that Ballet Jane can see a very small amount of merit in perhaps the finest live performance of Che Gelida Manina from La Boheme on his debut at the Met. And even that merit is given grudgingly .
Diese ungehobene Aussprache ist der reiste Horror, so ein Prolet. Und dann noch die wollige Stimme, die fleischigen Töne, die fehlende Vollhöhe. Ich vestehe nicht wie er Karriere machen konnte. Der muss wohl sehr gute Freunde gehabt haben?
Wenn jemand keine Ahnung hätte, könnte man doch mutig sein. Ein Mann nur mit Vitamin B(eziehung) kann nicht solche Karriere machen. Er war in dieser Zeit nicht besser als Del Monaco, Corelli und Stefano, trotzdem war er auch ein bester Tenor in der Geschichte.
Aber ich denke nicht, dass alle Leute lügen, wer hier die Antwortungen geschrieben haben. Sie haben nichts zu tun mit der Beziehung von Bergonzi, sie haben nur richtige Ohren. Bergonzi war sicher ein guter Tenor in italianishen tenören Geschichte, von Caruso, Tamagno bis Pavarotti, Algna...

Carlo Bergonzi ,un grande sulla scena e nella vita
Grande persona e grande interprete che trascina, coinvolge e tocca il cuore

una mirabile interpretazione di carlo di classe bravura e precisione un grande
Grandissimo, non si finirebbe mai di ascoltarlo!
Straordinario. Fraseggio unico e scansione perfetta, paragonabile solo a quella di Di Stefano. Voce morbida e commovente....un grande Edgardo
Qué emoción escuchar al maestro Bergonzi. Gran cantante con una voz y agudos potentes. Tuve el placer de verlo en el teatro Colón
Потрясающий
Que voz tan suave y melodiosa. Con gran sentimiento. C. Bergonzi uno de los más grandes tenores del siglo 20.
Eccellente, grande Bergonzi!!!! SEMPRE CON NOI!
This phrasing, these dynamics, his legato and musicianship has no rival.
Why they say his technique is so superb?

the recording is precious. my favorite.
I saw Bergonzi in 1985 with Sutherland in Lucia at Covent Garden, 120 years between them, absolutely stunning.
Oh, how much i miss you, my lovely, courageous, wonderful GREAT Maestro, please, bless us from HEAVEN!!!! Your singing is our consolation in this world!!!
Raffinatissimo ed irraggiungibile!! ++++++
So heartbreakingly beautiful - such emotion in his voice... this is opera and why it's so powerful.
Thank you for you voice, Carlo!
Questa voce stentorea che sembra non arrivare mai, ma quando arriva si apre il paradiso.
Si
Grande tenore verdiano? No grandissimo tenore fra i più grandi di sempre
very beautiful...Bergonzi was one of the true greats...mille grazie per il tuo bel canto
His voice connects, deeply, Bravo! Love Carlo Bergonzi!
Bergonzi, what a great tenor he was!
Magic voice and wisdom and courage, and a great, real man!
Que ternura que agudos mímica waoooooo y waoooooo
This is what made me love opera even as a boy. Bravo Maestro Bergonzi. Purtroppo tutto e finito.
A me piace tantissimo qui Bergonzi.
My father took me to my first Opéra at the Old Met . I was 12 , it was a matinee , Rigoletto. Bergonzi was the Duke , Gianna D’Angelo , Gilda , and Cornell MacNeil was Rigoletto . All sang do beautifully .
Fantastic! Grande Bergonzi!
This yr of Bergonzi singing really makes me cry. So touching
Sublime
Его сердце тоже поёт
My alltime favorite... simply divine.

That emotion make me cry
Bravo!
Bravissimo!!! 🥰😍❣
Che meraviglia.
Hermosa voz sentimiento afinado vocalizar perfecto
Superb!
Canto maravilloso!!! Enorme Bergonzi!!!
Simply beautiful
che meraviglia...voce piena, potente, magistralmente gestita: grazie !
que hermosa voz que dulcemente canta
Grande, bravissimo Maestro Plinio Clabassi, maestoso basso!!!!
Bravo!!!!!
As I have just posted elsewhere, either the second greatest tenor of all time or just in front of Caruso
Maestro!! Que entrega!! Bravo!!
By far, the greatest rendition, only Pippo comes close.
Pippo still had a long long way to go... he never was able to come close to Bergonzi.
I have just watched this clip and I am sure the bass was Clabassi. He was a big man both in stature and voice
A legend who deserves the name!!! A dying art! Thank you for posting this
treasure of treasures!!!
RIP, Maestro! :(
Scusate per chi Domingo è un grande cantante per gli spaltisti per i loggionisti come lui c'è ne sono altri 99 che cantano meglio di lui ci ha rovinato i Mass media

In my top three
Нельзя объяснить словами..как прекрасно его работа на сцене..и голос
wow I would give anything to see him live :) I know I come late but I wish it nonetheless
Insuperabile
Карло непререкаемый авторитет..его голос ласкает сердце
Thank you for your great and eternal gift to my profession!! Requiescat in pace...
The art of singing at its highest level!
He made time stand still with his singing
Yes
Nessuno come lui. Meraviglioso
un hombre de voz esquisita
Anche il portamento a volte grossolano, meraviglioso
La meraviglia

La sua voce stentorea, sembrava che non arrivasse mai, poi quando quando arrivava si apriva il paradiso, purgatorio, inferno e la bellezza assoluta
pure belcanto

Duprez hatte eine funktionierende Vollhöhe und konnte gutes Italienisch. Der hier hat weder noch.
Bergonzi's singing is so beautiful. Can anyone tell me who that powerful bass is? Could be Clabassi?
Yes, could surely be.

Is that Richard Gill with Bergonzi in that scene.
Todays tenors ought to study this and learn how to sing properly.
Magnificent. My only criticism was his stabbing suicide was pitiful. I could do a better job in the third grade. His dead chicken flop at the end kind of made up for it tho.
Bergonzi canta de manera sublime. El bajo es Plinio Clabassi?
Sí, Plinio Clabassi.
Why the breathing noise was so loud?
Perfecta interpretación como todo lo que cantó...Es muy.raro escucharle un error vocal...
Bergonzi uno de los grandes tenores del siglo XX. Sobre todo en verdi. En el final de Lucía canta muy bien pero no supera a Gigli y a kraus.
Siempre tiene que haber un listo. Como tú. Si tanto sabes, dale tus opiniones a los cantantes. Te harán el mismo caso que nosotros: ninguno.
@@felixdelvallevigon6157 in democracia hay libertad de expresion
Los supera a los dos.
@@rockyfood8903 A Kraus no lo supera en este papel ni en sus mejores sueños. Bergonzi era un maestro pero sobre todo en repertorio Verdiano.
@@felixdelvallevigon6157 Ahora resulta que la libertad de expresión es pecado. Seguimos viviendo en una dictadura.

Peccato per la dizione della S … sccc…. Per il resto grandissimo
Cosi si canta… voce coperta e sul fiatto
mellifluo
Dio cantava
Nice but half tone lower...
Voce verdiana, ma grande interpretazione
