That's because the other were in scope of the mass media. Domingo and Careras didn't deserve it. Pavarotti is another story, Pavarotti was THE VOICE anyway. An unique voice. Giacomini was a great tenor, a dramatic one, while Pavarotti was rather lyric tenor. You cannot have both at the same time.

@@blaht15 👌 🆗️ sono d'accordo su Carreras Domingo...diciamo che Pavarotti fino a che non ha fondato "Pavarotti e Friends " è stato un ottimo tenore nel repertorio lirico-leggero...poi è diventato solo business...

@@radames5855 to the degree, yes. Ha made business with his great gift as well. Nothing bad in that. But he had been singing pure opera long time and these performances are the greatest. Remember the era of singing with Jean Sutherland.

Like Sutherland he WAS the Bel canto of tenor voice. I doubt anyone now could really replace him.

I admit that I never warmed to the voice of Pavarotti. I think he could make any aria sound like a street song...no matter the opera it always sounds as if he's singing 'O Sole Mio' whilst winking at an audience. Then I hear Giacomini sing and I think, "Oh, THIS is how it's supposed to sound!" A beautiful, studied, mature performance.

No me canso de alabar esta voz ;la potencia de un trueno de un dios griego cantando desde las alturas del Monte Olimpo .

E che squillo ! Grazie del dono .

Уникальное сочетание красоты,силы,чувств, благородства!!!

We have Kaufmann. Can you compare Giacomini to Kaufmann. ? Es ist lächerlich...

@@Katharsis44-091 Kaufmann ist ziemlich gut, solange er nicht so tut, als wäre er ein Heldentenor. Dann ist ER lächerich.

@@Katharsis44-091 Kaufmann mit Giacomini vergleichen zu wollen?? ... Alleine der letzte Ton und der erste Ton hier spricht Bände gegen JK Geschweige denn bei Othello..

@@rudolfsmolej9495 Ich habe Kaufmann in München vor ein paar Jahren erlebt.....Mittelmäßigkeit pur, echt sehr enttäuschend....Warum er so " geschätzt " wird ist mir ein Rätsel, vielleicht weil er ein netter und gutaussehender Mann ist, man hört mit den Augen.....

@@Katharsis44-091 ja ist auch mir ein Rätsel.. habe seinen Othello in London erlebt, dann nochmals in München.. kein 3x mehr .. und auch sonst enttäuschend

He sounds like a high bari

@@samsschool3639 he’s a dramatic tenor

Lol fuck that, it makes me wanna get the hell outta work and into a practice room!

@@samsschool3639 He is most definitely a tenor....

One of the descendants of Melocchi's students.

Alfredo Kraus could definitely “touch his technique”. He had a longer career and greater success. But both tenors were excellent and magnificent. Two phenomenal voices.

Kraus would be an overtone in giacomos voice. But AK does have good technique. But again AK is not nearly as prodigious as GG.

@@brunoantony3218 Weird that you are trying to educate someone who actually sang on-stage with Giacomini. Also weird that you would ever compare Kraus to Giacomini. The two are completely different in terms of voice type, size of voice, timbre, and vocal production. Alfredo Kraus was a fine artist in terms of musicality, phrasing, and emotion. However, by his own admission his vocal production was very much in the mask. In my opinion, this is the reason it lacked the darkness of a chiaroscuro full lyric sound. Giacomini may be a little bit wooden in his interpretation (compared to Kraus, but not generally). But, his vocal technique was in another world.

@@benjaminjacobs5553 I agree wholeheartedly Ben. An opera singer is a vocal athlete. & the closer one gets to the outer edges of the full potential power & range of the voice, the more temperamental the voice becomes. A light lyric voice is inheritantly stable, because it functions comfortably inside its ultimate dynamic potential. A huge dramatic voice, however, is always produced at 90% of its full dynamic potential. Therefore it has almost no reserve capacity to draw upon when the singer's health, hydration, sleep, or bio rhythms are not 100%. Consistency is far more challenging than with the smaller voices. It's like a weight lifter, who cannot expect to lift his maximum weight on every occasion he attempts it. Muscles need rest & time to consolidate. Sometimes, the voice just doesn't want to know, & there's nothing to do but to back off & nurse it along on the technique.

rare voice indeed

SeokJong Baek will save us, don't worry. Kaufmann and other overrated ridiculous woodcutters are done!!

I can't agree more

excelente opinión

Indeed one of the very best,unfortunately the marketing machine that gives us kaufman,florez,etc didnt seem inclined to make him a super star.but then those of us who truly love real singing know the difference

Great, indeed :) thank you for leading me there.

@@ajbj3619 You're welcome. He has so much squillo in his voice!

He was a fach independent of anyone else who ever lived. The sole entry in his category of singing.

Vickers kills it.

I sang in operas with Giacomini: and his incredible musicality was indeed one of the greatest facets of this incredible voice: you were riveted by his performance from the first notes!.

I think you might find del monaco was equally good and in live recitals even better as live he was at his very best,giacomini should have been a super star

Yes, Giacomini's voice was totally unique from many point of views...Firstly, his dark timbre and powerful made him an ideal singing artist for performing the greatest verdian roles, adding a brand new shine and dimension to them! And he was great as Canio, Turiddu as well! ☺

Holy shit, I bet his Canio and/or Turiddu would be AMAZING!!!

I agree with you. He had a great voice of dramatic tenor. One of the great voices of the 20th century.

People don't know what real fully supported singing is these days. I maintain that Kaufmann reworked his voice with him, as only then could he attack the heavier repertoire. Rossini did not write for this kind of voice.

Edmundas Seilius - This was a wonderful performance. His upper register is as good as anybody's. Listen to the applause.. Bravo.

Wow. Very true!

Я думаю они просто не хотят!

E strana la voce di giacomini perché è uno di quelli che ha la voce scurissima e va bene nel repertorio romantico e non drammatico. Nel repertorio drammatico dove ci vuole la forza, perde mentre qui con le agilità e' perfetto. Un po' come Terranova che ha un bel timbro col chiaro/scuro e canta la figlia del reggimento e altre opere leggere ma piene di agilità e acuti.

è STRANA perchè Giacomini è un baritono con il Do nel senso che è un baritono che arriva agli acuti dei tenori, però non lo è secondo me, e va bene nel repertorio romantico perchè ha l'eleganza propria dei baritoni.

Bravo !

Me too!

This is true; he did have some very bad days, but always bounced back. I know because I was there, but on form, it was incredible to witness.

Domingo had very bad days. But the MSM and the record companies protected him.

jpower316 Because he is not 6'4" has black wavy hair and a sexy scowl. Otherwise we would all have heard of him years ago

@@CarloQuinto He was also a family man. No scandals were ever heard from this gentleman.
