It still remains astonishing how this immensely gifted conductor was able to exercise such supreme control over the orchestras he conducted and yet had so little self-control that he gave in so frequently to all his sexual urges and was even prepared to engage in illegality while doing so.
Merv Griffin’s focus is like a laser. His eye never leaves Domingo while talking and listening. Incredible concentration and charisma. During the early days of RU-vid, someone posted (in several clips) not just his full interview with Domingo, but also the one with Giuseppe Di Stefano and Carol Burnett. I wish someone would repost it. It was a wonderful interview. Burnett does the Tarzan Yell, and Di Stefano said that her voice “carries.” I would love go see it again.
or u can just listen to it as a standalone aria. That's actually how most ppl listen to opera music. That's how I listen to Verismo operas. Cause the stories I don't like. But I really enjoy the music.
Oh man, no one can put this over like Mr. S. NOONE . Thy're may have been better voices but Frank was the best singer. You can almost feel his pain here ( did somebody say Ava Gardner)
