Vocal camp at its finest

Yoko Ono

彼は見事に回復し、結局のところ、一行や二行を忘れなかった人はいないでしょう...特に今回のような長いオペラでは...彼はさまざまな言語で歌い（ほとんどが母国語のハンガリー語ではありませんでした）、完璧に歌いました！

My toxic trait is that, if I crack, I stop. The show will not go on lol

Tremendamente efficace....brava

It's so obvious Tebaldi masterfully conveyed with this very theatrical feat the exact moment when Marguerite loses her mind completely right after her brother dies cursing her. It's meant to sound like crying that turns into laughter that then becomes a desperate and uncontrolled laughter, a laughter without joy, but with a somber, even scary feel, as if she just can't control the hysterical laughter as a sudden dissociation from the harshest reality. Tebaldi did make her sound like she is clearly broken, her senses having been definitely shattered, and acting bizarrely and hysterically, as expected to explain how she is caged in a mental hospital in the next act and was able to kill her own baby. Say what you wish about Tebaldi's acting skills on the stage, but VOCALLY she had an extremely rich gamut of vocal expression through colors, phrasing, portamenti etc.

There is a possible solution for this-ban audience to enter the concert or opera performance if they are sick or smoking addicts.

Fantastica,strepitosa,INEGUAGLIABILE NOVIKOVA!!!! Da andare in DELIRIO!!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

At the end of Tosca she would get upon a box and when it was time to jump a stagehand would grab her by the waist and carry her off!

There's an urban legend that Sutherland and Horne went to one of her performances. Horne almost had to be carried out out when prostrate from laughing, and Sutherland's comment was 'I never in all my career got such applause!' lol

Well, for me this is the best version ever!

Bravo!!! They sing in such a way that one can touch the colorful cords of Carlo. Didn't know this version. Thanks. Are their recofdings of Gesualdo madrigals available online?

It is a clean even voice that soars effortlessly the higher it goes

Der beste Tenor der Welt

So glad this was posted! I was hunting for it. So many opera singers have shared it prior to computers. He is trying so hard and expressive. with no technique! It is so perfectly awful it is a gem!

Inquietante... Peraltro, da italiano non so dire in quale lingua stia masticando. Belcanto significa cantare sulla parola

Bliss, sheer bliss...

Hard to believer she sang at Covent Garden under Beecham, mostly in Mozart operas!

She needs to listen to Ffj

Jesus Christ. Just . . . wow.

It's amazing how some people start hacking away as soon as a concert starts. They should feck off out of the theatre.

0:25 1:34 2:05

Until you hear Sue's "Sempre Libera" from the same session, you ain't heard NOTHIN'!

Does somebody know who is singing in second piece, just after Gedda? I can't stop laughing 😂. And however, the voice is beautiful!

Pity it's just the first part.

It's the "Oh my god" at the end that does me in.

❤❤❤

I saw Vickers at Covent Garden in Tristan and he was imperious...but having heard this, I'm glad I didn't cough!

The catalogue says 2/26/78. Germont was Dominic Cossa; cond. Pallo. I talked w/ the guy who had the original recording. He said they never found out the woman's name. The note reads: "She was obviously afflicted in some way."

It's remarkable that these recordings weren't destroyed.

I recognised two times Nicolai Gedda, one time Luciano Pavarotti and one time Ferruccio Furlanetto. The tapes of the other singers are too bad.

Atleast he can sing Piano!

Is the Che Gelida Manina Pavarotti? It sounded like him.

"Io quella lama" at 5:46

The chicken gets me every time 😂

Cò cò deeeeee 🐔🐔

Cette musique ne semble pas être une musique de pénitence!… Juste le reflet de son étrange état d’âme après avoir tué sa femme et son amant. Je me demande si ce n’est pas le reflet d’un versant psychotique, encore que les crimes d’honneur étaient monnaie courante à cette époque, surtout venant d’un prince! N’empêche que cela est d’une inquiétante beauté! Et très moderne! On dirait de la musique atonale!!!! GESUALDO était musicalement en avance sur son époque, et en retard par rapport à la spiritualité! D’où peut-être toute son œuvre en contradiction avec les faits!!!

Only those who appreciate the finer arts will understand the beauty of such a rendition.

It is not Björling and its not Gedda.Björn Haugan? He always cricket.

Very amusing. This antiquated, vulgar melodrama is faintly unhealthy, but she makes it lots of fun instead of just irritating. Spasimi d'orror.

Florence foster jenkins versión tenore 😶

Her voice is bigger than all the soprano dramatics :o.

Many opera singers have had bad moments (Caruso, Martinelli, Gayarre, Domingo, Bergonzi, Pavarotti, Carreras, Callas, Moffo, Caballé, and so forth). So, we must understand how complicate is to be an opera singer and their challenges. Sincerely,

I’m glad I’m not the only one whose voice has cracked on stage <:D Seriously tho, props to the opera singers for keeping their cool

ahhahahaha, lack of concentration in most cases ... they are humans not robots

why Florence Foster J never sang this??

How sad. Like a person without emotions and culture. Her son carried on her lack of perception.

He sounds chinese, oh my God Fritz Wunderlich would turn in his grave

enchanting!

That Puritani high F is just silly and stupid. I've yet to hear a tenor doing is so it sounds good. I can't do it, not by a long shot. The nicest one I've heard was Pavarotti's falsetto.
