Grandissimo Mario Del Monaco qui si presenta con un Canto più aperto che gli si addice stupefacente lo smalto.vocale il sib lanciato come una saetta prodigi ormai sepolti di un Canto davvero.REGALEEEEE
So magnificent and thrilling. The focus of energy in the resonating parts of the vocal apparatus produce a supreme shine to his voice. Such an inspiration to every dramatic tenor. A go to reference performance for me.
Not a difficult night but a normal one for this stage.of his career. By the mid 50s he was losing the ability to sing anything under mezzo forte. He was loud and louder.
THERE ARE SO MANY NEGATIVE COMMENTS HERE ON THE GREAT DEL MONACO. I WONDER WHY THEY BOTHER TO VIEW AND COMMENT ON AN ARTIST THEY DISLIKE AND DISRESPECT. IF I DO NOT ENJOY AN ARTIST. I IGNORE THEM. PERHAPS THEY ARE ANGRY THAT SO MANY LOVE AND ADMIRE THEM AND RESENT THEM FOR DIFFERING. HERE IS MORE FOOD FOR YOUR RESENTMENT. WHEN I WAS 18 OR SO IN THE LATE 1950'S. I STOOD ON LINE STANDING ROOM ONLY AT LEAST 5 TIMES TO HEAR AND SEE MARIO DEL MONACO AT THE OLD MET IN NY. HE WAS MAGNIFICENT AT EACH PERFORMANCE. THE AUDIENCE WENT WILD WITH APPLAUSE AND ENTHUSIASM. ENJOY YOUR RESENTMENT. IAN KAYE
a me personalmente piace e meraviglia sempre; inoltre sappiamo bene cosa è stato questo artista nel mondo e nella sua epoca non mancavano di certo i concorrenti di altissimo livello. Ritengo inutile polemizzare o criticare, al limite, se non piace, voltate pagina e ascoltate qualche altro artista piu consono al vostro gusto
@Albert B. Evans la mia frase ' non riesco a dimenticarlo' era riferita all'esortazione della signora Facchiano a non dimenticare del Monaco . Io non posso dimenticare che del Monaco non sapeva cantare e la sua memoria è sostenuta da emeriti incompetenti e masochisti.E con ciò , considero chiusa la disputa .
@@alessandrodelmagno9125 è grazie a "maestri" come lei se oggi esistono solo più tecnicissimi grilli a cantare Chenier....Le dico in verità che preferisco di molto il tempo degli incapaci come del Monaco
I find MDM's powerful, full throated sound so vividly exciting...He holds your total attention through the sound of that great voice like very few others. have ever done, before or since.
Come un bel dì di maggio Che con bacio di vento E carezza di raggio Si spegne in firmamento Col bacio io d'una rima Carezza di poesia Salgo l'estrema cima Dell'esistenza mia La sfera che cammina Per ogni umana sorte Ecco già mi avvicina All'ora della morte E forse pria che l'ultima Mia strofa sia finita M'annuncerà il carnefice La fine della vita Sia! Strofe, ultima Dea Ancor dona al tuo poeta La sfolgorante idea La fiamma consueta Io, a te, mentre Tu vivida a me sgorghi dal cuore Darò per rima il gelido Spiro d'un uom che muore
Che tournée quella del 61a Tokio:ogni rappresentazione un trionfo, di quelli veri ,dati dal pubblico competente, non quello decretato da critici compiacenti e ignoranti che oggi frequentano i teatri lirici ..."deserto sulla terra.."
Lo sappiamo tutti quanti che l'Andrea Chenier degli anni 50 è imbattibile rispetto a quello del 60, quindi non state a rompere scrivendo che poteva cantare meglio o che ha cantato tutto aperto. Ha fatto delle interpretazioni negli anni 50 così fuori dal comune che si fa fatica a poter pensare di riproporla meglio e senza contare che quest'opera grazie a lui poté essere rappresentata di nuovo al Metropolitan visto che non era stata più eseguita da dopo la morte di Caruso. Del Monaco era ed è l'eccellenza dell'eccellenza. Invece di criticare questa interpretazione dopo più di 20 anni di carriera di cui 10 che vanno dal 50 al 60 sono a dir poco miracolosi, andare a criticare lo Chenier del 54 al metropolitan. Quello del 54 al San Carlo. Quello del 55 con la Callas. Non so quanto ci sia da criticare però...
Del Monaco non si discute come voce e come artista,però se io voglio bene a un'artista,cerco di pubblicare il meglio di lui,invece a volte vengono pubblicati video live dove una serata non era proprio al top come al solito suo.in questo video ,si vede chiaramente un difficoltà fisica,sempre però risolta con grande tecnica,i cantanti non sono dischi,sono persone,e non sempre le serate sono uguali,hai dormito male la notte,sei un pò raffreddato,non sei stato bene con lo stomaco etc. poichè siam uomini di carne ed ossa.(parafrasando i pagliacci)
Non capisco cosa c'è che non va in questa performance.....se qualcuno vuole spiegarmelo...io la trovo cantata ed interpretata molto bene senza sbavature con mezza voce all'inizio e finale eroico...ma forse mi è sfuggito qualcosa...con tanti "critici "che scrivono su RUclips sicuramente qualcuno mi scriverà dove Del Monaco ha sbagliato in questa performance....buon Natale
@@giampierone010 credo ,non sapendo cosa scrivere riguardo ad una performance stupenda,vengono scritti messaggi senza cognizione ,a causa della mediocrità assoluta della maggior parte di noi "critici",che messaggia su youtube !!!!!!! personalmente sono d'accordo con il suo commento...grazie
If he was dramatic or not!!I don't really know!!but a full lyric tenor?no way!!an spinto,could be,but he was very heroic in temperament and this helps his dramatic voice to devoloped. He was an heroic,is what the germans call heldentenor. His voice was great and beautiful!!!!!!!
He was very clearly a dramatic tenor,the best that ever sang,he is not at his best here,that said del monaco not at his best is still way better than some of the awful singing we hear today
As much as we like a particular tenor (and del Monaco was one of the greatest), we must always be able to recognize when they are not in a good moment. Above all they are human beings. It is essential to maintain our objetivity.... In my opinion, he was only "correct" in this performace. But despite everything, he sings quite well. How easy is to criticize !!
I agree with your comments. Del Monaco was a marvelous, wonderful performer. Even with all the distortions of "You tube videos" the astonishing quality of his voice can come shining through. In this video recording , however, he does not sound good. He sounds flat on many notes, and there is an uncharacteristic honking quality to his sound. It could be that he was already sick with the disease that ended his life. Or it could be that this video recording is playing at the wrong speed. RUclips videos set too slow can make world class singers sound flat. This is not my favorite, of the del Monaco performances that I can hear as youtube videos. This is interesting for historical reasons.
imo, it's obviously because of the poor recording. 0:10 the resonance isn't there since the very first moment, which is impossible for MDM (we all know that his voice is never lack of resonance).
I thought the whole point of a performance by a spinto dramatic tenor was to produce a a spinto dramatic sound. The volume of air required to produce this very special sound will also produce a big sound, that will fill the House and thrill the followers. Or is this all too simple?
Ho letto i commenti, mi porgo una domanda da non intendetrice : la musica, il canto vivono per le emozioni che sono in grado di scaturire. Mo' stare a guardare il capello senza considerare che si è uomini, che si ha un privato, che gli anni passano per tutti e gli "acciacchi" fisici t'arrivano da soli
....nowadays you listen to much less than him..an ocean of mediocre voices ....you have no choice but to stay home....then you return home from contemporary opera and enjoy the tempi passati on records like this... Thank you!
Wow you suck, you don’t understand the very simple progression of the art of opera. Where you see mediocrity, a ton of people revel in the fact there are still pioneers of the art currently going bolstering it. You can go back to these videos and bask in the mastery because it’s pleasing to the ears. That’s the truth but do not dare slag off the opera singers off today because these past artists you praise would’ve given these current artists praise and plaudits, something you don’t know how to do.
One of the fascinating things but his performance is that he is copying the style of acting from the days of silent movies and especially the powerful use of eye movement. but it's absolutely thrilling
@@alfredoloyola921 there is a opinion that Mario was not a dramatic tenor, but a full liric tenor with great squllo. but he sang everything with force and dramatcally
Well,a full lyric tenor!!!wow!!not even an spinto!! I don't know how a full lyric tenor!!could sustein the heavy repertoire that del. Monaco sang for more than 20 years!!without damaging his voice!!unbelievable!!
This is one of those Japanese performances, and he is not in good voice. The sound is occluded, maybe by a cold. Were it not for these being gala events I think he would have cancelled.
Anne Reilley LOL, guaranteed. You can’t sing this way without ultra-developed chest and falsetto registers-the first we hear in full display explicitly and the latter implicitly in the low larynx he maintains. So surely, he could yodel.
@@matOpera I bet that would be amazing to hear him yodel! I am not sure he has any recordings of his warmups. Ever since learning about him, I've listened to every recording of his I can. His version of Recondita Armonia is my favorite.
@@annereilley4892 I haven't found such a recording, but it's very possible it may exist! And he truly was extraordinary; one of the greatest voices ever. His "Recondita armonia" is stupefying, and I'm always glad to find others who enjoy his records so much!
@@paologaudenzi837 ah,ho capito...ognuno ha i propri gusti...Del Monaco è un fuoriclasse per quanto mi riguarda oltre ad essere un cantante colto e uomo di cultura...ma comprendo il suo stato d'animo nell' ascoltarlo...coraggio!!!
nessuno mette indubbio certe doti: Del Monaco avrebbe avuto il fisico e la voce per essere uno dei più grandi tenori di tutti i tempi ma era troppo egocentrico e megalomane per correggere e piegare i suoi limiti e le sue capacità alla musica e al teatro, se avesse recitato in maniera più misurata e cantato come le partiture chiedevano, sarebbe ricordato come un grandissimo, tutte le critiche gli derivano da gigionate da circo di pessimo gusto che inscenava per fare in Sansone(nano) del palacoscenico quando non ce n'era proprio nessun bisogno!
Che commento! se a lei non piace ,scriva con altri vocaboli!!! come si fa a cadere così in basso con un commento privo di tutto il buon senso che occorre...se lei si crede un intenditore,con questo commento ha fatto capire la sua banalità nell'esprimere un pensiero,su un artista!!! Forza Milan
Non ha mai saputo respirare sempre li incassato tra collo e spalle ...poi quando si ingolfa sulla frase "carezza di poesia" è davvero ridicolo senza contare le solite smorfiacce. Aridatece Corelli e con lui Lauri Volpi, Pertile, Merli, Gigli, Fleta.....
Credevo che il suo modo di capire la respirazione fosse giusto,fino a quando non l'ho sentito cantare...lei non dovrebbe scrivere su RUclips,visto il suo scarso apprendimento sul recitar-cantando...coraggio può fare di meglio se impara...
The aria was absolutely Butchered. Where was the Lover, the Poet, where was the Nuance, the Phrasing and Light and Shade. All these important elements were missing. MDM bawls away regardless, its if someone is prodding him from the rear saying SING LOUDER MARIO they cant hear you from the back. Its a shame really because there is no denying the Heroic quality of the voice.
Sort of manageable egoism allways, when MdM works. No silly showmanship gestures and jumping around without a clue of what he's singing like Bonisolli for instance...
Bad singing in general... Sometimes is flat without giving meaning to shorter notes... Amazing instrument though and easy top as always!!! Nothing special to be honest compering to Corelli, Björling, Tucker, Di Stefano... Even Domingo is better than MDM in this aria...
MDM must have done better in 1946 when He debuted Chenier and Giordano handed him a signed photo " To My Chenier" But what did Giordano know? Bjorling never sang Chenier, His voice was too small. Domingo's high notes were always an adventure. I think Tucker was great in Chenier, but Tucker's favorite tenor's were Gigli and Del Monaco.
@@sugarbist Yes, Tucker was a great Chenier and in fact when asked by myself back stage once in a conversation with him about singers of the past, I asked Tucker as a young tenor singing in the opera of the great tenors before your time in opera, who did you most admire for voice in the past and now of your Peers, and he told me lyric Gigli with his very sweet voice and in his own time, Del Monaco was a great favorite of Tucker, so when MDM was singing in Verona in Carmen, Tucker attended and was back stage after the opera in MDM' S dressing room, each tenor promised to take the other out for the best dinner in town the next time they met, as MDM called Tucker the Primo number one tenor in NY at the Met.
Tucker and Corelli were excellent Cheniers, but Bjorling never sang the role and Domingo squeezed his way through the passaggio, cutting phrases short, while his high notes were always an adventure.
I have no idea where this ranks in various recordings of this aria...not being a MDM fan I thought I'd give it a listen, and try to be fair, but outside of the at times obvious power of the voice, I find it as bad as I imagined. No poetry, after all he is reciting a poem a beautiful vision, kind of lurching around the line, and not even particularly over whelming as is his usual approach. I can think of many tenors who do it much better.
Labienus It's 1961's record - not best time of MDM. I think you have to listen studio record of 1952 year - it is great record. ( ruclips.net/video/YUzM0iO3fDY/видео.html )
Григорий Фокин I'm hardly a MDM fan, even at his best, but I thought this far from his best. I keep trying to see-beyond the obvious power and aspects of the tone itself-why some people like him so much, but I want to be fair. By the way if this was the state of his voice at this date, I understand why he never returned to the Met, and why he was overwhelmed by the impact of Corelli in the late 50's.
Labienus Listen to MDM singing Samson, Aeneas in "I Troiani" (Berlioz's Les troyens translated in italian) or his Forza live recording under Dimitri Mitropoulos.
Allzumenschliches44 As I said I'm not a fan-he generally seems to know only one volume level, loud-but I know he's capable of much better than this. Sure Samson, Pagliacci, even Forza, certainly Otello-but not even my favorite in that-but he's not going to be remembered for Troyens In Italian-full of transpositions lapses of style-for the heroic parts of the role he could have been good, but he distorts it-but it has to be sung in French Every once and a while especially in the earlier phases of his career he surprises me, but mostly I don't find him interesting, and as fewer people remain who heard the voice live, his reputation has faded
Labienus I'm fan and must agree with your remarks. I don't have a clue why he insisted on powerful and trumpet-like voice. He was definitely capable to perform lyrical parts.
Che bella voce ! Grande tenore Mario Del Monaco!
It's always interesting to see him singing with his whole body. The gestures and facial expressions are phenomenal !
Grande e unico.
Unica voce, di sfolgorante timbro, metallo aureo, bronzeo,e comunque di pura trasparente bellezza...
His entire being delivers feelings. This is a great example of great singing from the soul.
Certe sensazioni le sentiamo solo con del MONACO
dico Bravo Mario del Monaco che mi procuri emizioni nelle tue esecuzioni fatte nel corso della tua lunga carriera. Felice di essere italiana come te.

Beautiful singing ! Bravo MARIO DEL MONACO !
2:11 sounds like a brass instrument!!!! Wow!!!! What a voice!!!! Bravissimo MDM!
Mario. The best tenor for ever!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's probably not the best of all but always the most exciting tenor on stage who's willing to give it all to the audience. Enjoy!
So magnificent and thrilling. The focus of energy in the resonating parts of the vocal apparatus produce a supreme shine to his voice. Such an inspiration to every dramatic tenor. A go to reference performance for me.
L'interpretazione in assoluto migliore che abbia mai ascoltato. Qualcosa di stupefacente.
Even having a difficult night here,del monaco is still hands down better than anyone ive heard since
Not a difficult night but a normal one for this stage.of his career. By the mid 50s he was losing the ability to sing anything under mezzo forte. He was loud and louder.

Come un bel dì di maggio
Che con bacio di vento
E carezza di raggio
Si spegne in firmamento
Col bacio io d'una rima
Carezza di poesia
Salgo l'estrema cima
Dell'esistenza mia
La sfera che cammina
Per ogni umana sorte
Ecco già mi avvicina
All'ora della morte
E forse pria che l'ultima
Mia strofa sia finita
M'annuncerà il carnefice
La fine della vita
Sia! Strofe, ultima Dea
Ancor dona al tuo poeta
La sfolgorante idea
La fiamma consueta
Io, a te, mentre
Tu vivida a me sgorghi dal cuore
Darò per rima il gelido
Spiro d'un uom che muore
Bravo
Sempre coinvolgente
FORÇA DA NATUREZA.
Thrilling
Great performance from my favorite tenor! Please upload the full opera if you have it!
Unbelievable!

The aria was absolutely Butchered. Where was the Lover, the Poet, where was the Nuance, the Phrasing and Light and Shade. All these important elements were missing. MDM bawls away regardless, its if someone is prodding him from the rear saying SING LOUDER MARIO they cant hear you from the back. Its a shame really because there is no denying the Heroic quality of the voice.
Sort of manageable egoism allways, when MdM works. No silly showmanship gestures and jumping around without a clue of what he's singing like Bonisolli for instance...
Altra stronzata...bravo
Bad singing in general... Sometimes is flat without giving meaning to shorter notes... Amazing instrument though and easy top as always!!! Nothing special to be honest compering to Corelli, Björling, Tucker, Di Stefano... Even Domingo is better than MDM in this aria...
MDM must have done better in 1946 when He debuted Chenier and Giordano handed him a signed photo " To My Chenier" But what did Giordano know? Bjorling never sang Chenier, His voice was too small. Domingo's high notes were always an adventure. I think Tucker was great in Chenier, but Tucker's favorite tenor's were Gigli and Del Monaco.
Shut tour f... M..ok?
@@sugarbist Yes, Tucker was a great Chenier and in fact when asked by myself back stage once in a conversation with him about singers of the past, I asked Tucker as a young tenor singing in the opera of the great tenors before your time in opera, who did you most admire for voice in the past and now of your Peers, and he told me lyric Gigli with his very sweet voice and in his own time, Del Monaco was a great favorite of Tucker, so when MDM was singing in Verona in Carmen, Tucker attended and was back stage after the opera in MDM' S dressing room, each tenor promised to take the other out for the best dinner in town the next time they met, as MDM called Tucker the Primo number one tenor in NY at the Met.
@@sugarbist This is a lyric aria, he would be greater in the first act aria, but earlier in the 1946, I'm sure was great in this also.
Tucker and Corelli were excellent Cheniers, but Bjorling never sang the role and Domingo squeezed his way through the passaggio, cutting phrases short, while his high notes were always an adventure.
I have no idea where this ranks in various recordings of this aria...not being a MDM fan I thought I'd give it a listen, and try to be fair, but outside of the at times obvious power of the voice, I find it as bad as I imagined. No poetry, after all he is reciting a poem a beautiful vision, kind of lurching around the line, and not even particularly over whelming as is his usual approach. I can think of many tenors who do it much better.
Labienus It's 1961's record - not best time of MDM. I think you have to listen studio record of 1952 year - it is great record. ( ruclips.net/video/YUzM0iO3fDY/видео.html )

I'm hardly a MDM fan, even at his best, but I thought this far from his best. I keep trying to see-beyond the obvious power and aspects of the tone itself-why some people like him so much, but I want to be fair. By the way if this was the state of his voice at this date, I understand why he never returned to the Met, and why he was overwhelmed by the impact of Corelli in the late 50's.
Labienus Listen to MDM singing Samson, Aeneas in "I Troiani" (Berlioz's Les troyens translated in italian) or his Forza live recording under Dimitri Mitropoulos.
Allzumenschliches44 As I said I'm not a fan-he generally seems to know only one volume level, loud-but I know he's capable of much better than this. Sure Samson, Pagliacci, even Forza, certainly Otello-but not even my favorite in that-but he's not going to be remembered for Troyens In Italian-full of transpositions lapses of style-for the heroic parts of the role he could have been good, but he distorts it-but it has to be sung in French Every once and a while especially in the earlier phases of his career he surprises me, but mostly I don't find him interesting, and as fewer people remain who heard the voice live, his reputation has faded
Labienus I'm fan and must agree with your remarks. I don't have a clue why he insisted on powerful and trumpet-like voice. He was definitely capable to perform lyrical parts.
