да, сейчас развалилось. Дирижеры заставляют певцов кричать, т к играть надо громче. Агенты "затаскивают" голоса. Певцы срываются. И культуры пения меньше.

Vse tochno k sazhaleniu. Svyata slova drug moi

Ora voci costruite colori neutri

Senza nessun dubbio

Duetto incomparabile

It's Ettore Bastianini.

I had heard that it was Giulietta Simionato who stated that if black velvet had a sound, it would be the voice of Ettore Bastianini. I've always loved that description.

God's gift to us!

You weren't too bad yourself. The ENO mafia Rigoletto must have been a career highlight.

You are, tragically, quite correct. It is terribly depressing.

@@jphubert You will not even find one single italian baritone anymore who is comparable to the rich voices like Bastianini, Taddei, Protti, Panerai, Sereni, Guelfi, Gobbi and many more...The same with german Heldentenors...What happened?

@@WolfgangAPalm-ju9er I think it is multifactorial. First, wireless microphones can now be attached to every major cast member. They have no need to develop a voice that will carry throughout the house. Second, for the past several decades and perhaps even longer, what was once thought of as outstanding opera singing (almost a controlled, yet highly resonant/focused yell in a certain sense) has been demonized as in-artful and almost vulgar by major music programs at the university/conservatory level, all to the detriment of producing credible opera singers (comparable to the great artists of the 20th century). Students are now told by voice teachers/coaches not to sing loudly or to develop an effective "chest voice" unless base-baritone or contralto. This virtually eliminates the possibility of producing a dramatic tenor. Third, we must accept that the social/cultural developments of the past several decades has produced a kind of affect in males that is incompatible with virile/highly masculine singing. Note that in popular music, males and females sing virtually in the same octave, men too high and women too low. All the pop females sing in an alto range, the males as high tenors or countertenors. This was not the case prior to 1970. These developments no doubt had an effect on the classical world as well. Fourth, as a result of these and other factors, the art of opera singing in the Italian mode of the 19th and 20th centuries has in large part been lost. Neither singers or teachers know or care how to emulate the superb artists of the past. This has led to mediocrity vocally and the prominence of physically attractive (especially females) singers being featured who in the past would not have been part of major companies. Admittedly, these are only my opinions, although arrived at after much consternation, analysis and decades of interest in opera. I'm sure there must be other reasons as well.

@@jphubert You are completely right, unfortunately...

Truthismaster timjph interesting analysis! Thank you!

Il 'Finalmente!'di Ettore è ineguagluabile!

Agree, what a nice way tu put it.

You speak the truth !

Verdi was a bel canto composer. These two were masters at the legato and vocal colouring demanded by Verdi's music. Not to mention the vocal expression of high drama, all within the context of "beautiful singing". That they excelled at verismo as well is a bonus.

@@brunnhilde7193 assolutamente d'accordo, valutazione ineccepibile.

I don't have better but I certainly have some notable references: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ncxlp7Z_0Ju1gZs.html - Here there is Sondra Radvanosky and Dmitri Hvorostovsky. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kOCIe71k37a-gas.html - Here there is Renee Fleming and Thomas Hampson kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kLWDraSbl9jGaWQ.html - Sondra Radvanosky kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rbh3kpmZxKvVp6s.html - Renee Fleming and Joseph Calleja kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j9CWabqUy92-hqc.html - Here is the full version of La Traviata Obviously, Corelli is better but I think these are the artists to be looking at today. Another notable mention is Elina Garanča too when singing Carmen.

No

Meraviglioso

Я в полном восторге от этого дуэта!!!

Who was Melitone?

Mi sapete dire oggi chi potrebbe allestire la Forza con Corelli, Bastianini, Tebaldi etc...oggi le opere di Verdi hanno al massimo una celebrità che non necessariamente è un/a grande cantante... Simili cast sono solo storia !!!

Oh, you are right!

Semmai è il contrario: nessuno canta la Forza come Ettore, mentre l Alvaro di Del Monaco è superiore a Corelli. Ha la voce più pulita, gli acuti più squillanti.

@@marisamassimino6418 Mah, il timbro di voce di un tenore è una questione di gusto personale. Ma se potessi scegliere... Li vorrei tutti e due!!! 👋

@@marisamassimino6418 Listen to a live version of Del Monaco singing this duet. You are likely used to the studio version. Remember this is a live performance on stage. Corelli sounds smoother live then Del Monaco, his low notes also had more weight. That being said they actually sound extremely similar in most sections of this duet. If you just took a second or two from the singing, you likely wouldn’t even know if it was Corelli or Del Monaco. They are both great. Richard Tucker and Robert Merrill also does a great version, but I would say Tucker doesn’t have the refinement of Corelli and Del Monaco. I do have video comparison of this duet on my channel.

​@@marisamassimino6418Del Monaco acuti più squillanti di Corelli? Ma in quale universo???

If you can the greatest baritono of all time underrated

Not sure if you wanted an answer lol, but it shouldn't be any more difficult to sing while kneeling as long as your base is solid. Cheers!

@@giglistignanipinza thanks. It just seems more difficult if your whole body isn’t lined up with your throat. In any case, I’m utterly impressed! Appreciate your comment...cheers!

Есть запись дуэта Корелли и Бастианини. Корелли поет полностью лежа, так как его герой умирает.

Yeah I can testify to that

Абсолютно гениальный. Переслушала его в сотый раз и поймала себя на том, что почти с замиранием сердца следила за ходом действия. Почти как в первый раз

Присоединяюсь к каждому слову!
