Un leone della lirica . Questa registrazione purtroppo non rende giustizia! Dal vivo Reali aveva una bellissima voce del Baritono drammatico vero. Fantastico! il vecchio

My God! ... I was brought up on Italian Opera and the artists of the early 20th Century - but hadn't ever heard of Boninsegna until this evening! .... Her vocal mastery and artistry in this rendition is truly magnificent!

Es treibt mir die Tränen in die Augen. Diese Hochdramatische ist bis heute unerreicht. Wer sie auf der Bühne erleben konnte, darf sic h glücklich schätzen, weil nach Nilsson keine Sängerin in ihrer Klasse zu erleben war.

Beautiful but not worth the great sacrifice it cost!

A curious choice for a film, but a superb choice for the subject! My one quibble with the film is its choice for Cenerentola's step-sisters: They're TOO attractive! My mental image of them is closer to the witches in Macbeth! BUT - fun, nevertheless!! Oh, and by the way . . . "Trrill's" bias in favor of baritones is fine with me! LOVE those juicy comic and villainous roles and their high tragic or low comedic rumblings!

I have a cherished CD of a "Don Pasquale" from the late 1930s with Poli as Dottore Malatesta, Tito Schipa as the lovesick Ernesto and Adelaide Saraceni as Norina . . . what a romp!

BRAVISSIMI. THANKS A LOT.

My favorite tenor. Some sang certain things as well or better. No one sang so much as well as he did.

Bravo, Vickers!

Caballè fa veramente paura, avrei cantato benino anche io, dopo di lei, é talmente autentica, perfetta

Obviously, a man of conviction and strong opinions. His singing has integrity.....

I can't believe this recording was unpublished...Maybe because Don Carlo wasn't a popular opera at that time? Anyway, this is simply one of the best recordings of this difficult aria. Agostinelli knows how to use the different registers to make a proper effect, achieving a high level of interpretation. Not to mention the beauty and the radiance of her tone. This relatively less known soprano's rendering is a singing lesson for anyone wants to sing this aria, which is, in my opinion, the most heart-wrenching in Verdi's repertoire.

Thrilling!

Amazing Guelfi!!! Suliotis was 22 years old!!!

Her tonal quality is outstanding!! It's even throughout the entire aria and very pure!

The accompanist deserves a big shout-out as well! The piano itself is magnificent too! Would LOVE to know what piano they're using.. to my ear, sounds like either a Steinway or a Mason and Hamlin.

A Soprano should have easy high notes! Brigit is a high soprano.

Caspita ! In Tedesco

Is there a technical explanation to why he leaned his head backwards?

Can i say i love Birgit and am a huge fan but i dont like her Turandot ?

Tibbett is the Colossus of American baritones

Precious, thank you!

in speaking of these films, he mentioned the semaphore style of gestures, but it was probably just the way he did it on stage

Some people are just born with such gifts and trained to brilliance.

du métal en fusion! fabuleuse Birgit

Да, это петь ему не надо было

This is the way opera should be. Battistini is a miracle and the rest of them are lesser miracles. Hooray. I completely agree with ladivinafanatic!!!

Прекрасная певица!!! Bellissima!!!

Rest in peace, Eleanor.

Peter Schram - The FIRST recording of an opera singer (1889) - Leporello aria excerpts, is the oldest known wapped recording (where no, they not know it be wapped), where they didn't know they were recording when recording it, but had, and kept the song because people of regular music again thought it was interesting. Brahms Plays His Hungarian Dance No.1 (Excerpt), 1889, is the 2nd oldest wapped recording (where no, they not know it be wapped), where people of regular music recorded it because others (who weren't of wapped or regular music), thought it was, "interesting."

Now I finally see why Toscanini was a great conductor! he shows absolute command of the orchestra.

Why zero comments? Wtf She is divine

Grande artista .Tecnica perfetta ,fraseggio,meraviglioso il passaggio nei registri,pero' non mi piace.Sembra un tenore invece di un baritono,ed in queste arie verdiane,e' preferibile uno alla Titta Ruffo per intendersi,o Granforte,se non un certo Bastianini....a mio umile parere e gusto.

Truly a time to be apart of ballroom during this time period I've been so honored to have performed alongside and battle against several individuals in this video 📷 it has and will always be about striking poses this what vouge'n is Darren Twiggy Chanel Moschino Prada....Icon!

Two grandmasters 🎉❤

❤Unicos e Inolvidables.!!!❤❤

This recording, in addition to being made in the studio and based on video, went through all the remasters imaginable.

Creo Callas cantaba con el mas grande de todos los baritonos de ayer hoy los que vendra . Esa voz fue unica impresionante .

Absolutely beautiful , resonant voice. He has more ease on the top than at the bottom, almost like a tenor, but the colour definitely baritone. Miss a bit of the Italian " accent"

Pertile is the one who sang the meaning of the words not just the notes.

The reference recording that everyone needs to listen and learn from. Imo he is even greater than many of his Italian contemporaries.

Besides the very odd interpolation I really like this.

Thank you for posting this great performance, no equals. To bad he didn't do more commercial recording. I saw him a few times at the met opera.. Rigoletto and nile scene in Aida gala.. I those days they were almost taken for granted. I wish they were still here.

Aw. What an honest video and performance. Great!

She is superb!!!!!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Шикарный голос и исполнение.

One of the great ˋold chestnuts ´that one seldom hears anymore. I must drag it out again sometime. I still have all the notes. Warren really sells the piece & the posting here is much appreciated.

Madness…

My Grandmother who was a resident of San Diego was a musical acquaintance of Ernestine Schumann-Heink. Grandma occasionally would play piano in accompaniment of Mrs. Schumann-Heink during her practices. My Grandmother was an outstanding pianist and organist.
