Was taken by my father and grandmother to see and hear him on his final tour of the uk in I think 1954/5 in Bradford. I was a 12 or13 a young choir boy. I still cannot get over his breath control true bell canto. Gran had heard Caruso at the Met in New York in the 20’s .her comment was she had now listened two of the greatest voices in her life time and would not wish to live on the difference. Caruso for presence and power Gigli for control and sweetness..her words came back to me in the chapel in Laverno where Gigli was a choirboy we we were there on a holiday touring Italy in2005. Strange feeling to sing at mass in the same chapel as the mystro

Sorry the maestro. Got that feeling that put me in my place. H
The greatest tenor ever with a magnificent silky head voice. Matched bby no other singer past and certainly by no one present
Head voice at its finest by the master. Uncompairable
Perfekt und gefühlvoll gesungen.Eben in Gigli-Qualitaet!
Che bellissima dolcezza!
Divino. Meraviglioso
❤Поют выдающиеся артис ты оперы .Слава им в веках ....
His voice stayed at or near its peak for a remarkably long time. Some of that’s talent, but his technique must have been impeccable.
Потресающе ! Беньямино Джильи - Великий Тенор !
Un documento maravilloso...un tenor enorme en un teatro para muchos desconocido ...con la acustica mas perfecta ...por algo Gigli lo visito.
Excellent!
EINFACH SUPER
Insuperable!
If you’d said recorded in 1938 I’d have believed you.
That technique has been taught to Rosati's students who teach. Mario Lanza was an example.
MAH... NON MI SEMBRA BENIAMINO GIGLI, MA GIUSEPPE DI STEFANO... SI o NO ⁉️😳🇮🇹
Gigli sicuramente
No, ruclips.net/video/Vl7E2Ks47IU/видео.htmlsi=QiGv5c_T5_DBfZkF
Most definitely Gigli. Di Stefano could not match Gigli's dimminuendi.
Meraviglioso.
