Amor Ti Vieta 10 Tenor Voices Compilation 

Pavarotti è il più grande

Pavarotti non è all'altezza di Beniamino Gigli Jussi Bjorling Franco Corelli.

Oh, I do so agree.

Me encanta la voz de Jussi.❤

Yess!

Jussi Bjorling, no one came even close!

None other can compare!

So, so beautiful.

@@ramonavandermerwe1159I agree

Indeed, what a voice! But more than that - he's much better than Domingo, Carreras, Villazon, Kaufmann and Pavarotti.

The best ❤️

I can resist, because his bad handling of the italian language

​@@michaelfuting2403Even though he was Italian?

@@PippaAT Compare his "speeking" for example with Guiseppe di Stefano! The problem is: if a voice is great and wide or broad, the voice is not good to understand. O.k. the sound can be amazing...

My thought exactly!

Totally surprised by this voice. Beautiful.

Yes Grate voice. Can also recommend Vladimir Atlantov?

Amazing!!!! Never heard him before!!!!

Absolutely. He's much better than Domingo, Carreras, Villazon, Kaufmann and Pavarotti.

@@xxsaruman82xx87 I presume you are no Teacher..Pavarotti had the perfect Bel Canto voice.. Smith is very fine but not in the same class as an Artist...

@@rationalsceptic7634 I’m not talking about technique, but fach. Pavarotti was never suited for heavy verismo roles

Smith is truly a revelation!

@@rationalsceptic7634 si a ti te parece mejor Pavarotti está bien, pero el aria Amor ti vieta no es un aria de bel canto, pertenece al repertorio verista

Non avrei mai messo.Villazon Carreras Kaufmann Domingo, al loro posto Di Stefano Pertile Prevedi Masini.

Complimenti per la sua osservazione,,, cordialità

Yeah, Donald Smith was one of the greats. I had the wonderful experience of being a rehearsal pianist for Don for four years during my time as a piano student at the Queensland Conservatorium.

@@johnely5050 u nice to hear your reply I remember you also had a glorious voice maybe you hopefully still have it how are you

What a wonderful tribute to Donald Smith. I can hear in his clarion voice everything that you reveal.

No se trata de comparar, es cuestión de gustos

Vero. Ognuno di noi ha il proprio preferito ma la voce di Corelli è di un altro mondo. Unico. ❤❤❤

​@@PinaOliva-dp1ig insomma unico, ha quel difetto delle vocali chiuse, come Del Monaco le ha troppo aperte.

Lauri-Volpi!!!

I've never heard Smith before. Magnificent.

@@xxsaruman82xx87 Yes! I knew I was forgetting someone.

Gigli. I like Angelo Loforese version.

Well said!

He has such a beautiful voice. He was less known in Europe. What a pitty!

Absolutely. But more than that - he's much better than Domingo, Carreras, Villazon, Kaufmann and Pavarotti.

Well said Robin

If you chose one of them, which one you will pick up?

@@davidglzhangzhang1049 Björling og course.

Je ne saurais lequel choisir

O K. Entièrement d'accord avec vous.

Fedora is a verismo opera not bel canto,while all singers here are great,I’d prefer likes of del monaco,Corelli true verismo singers,after that gigli who could cross bel Canto to verismo with ease

Agree. I cannot get this Melody out my mind, either. The word-play in the 《paroles》 certainly helps. These are all such brave men. Isn't that a knock-out photo of Kaufmann? What a beautiful man. Think of all the proud moms & dads of these amazing men who discovered the realization of their Power in the Arts.

Thanks for the very complimentary comment on this video. There are of course many other great tenors on the wold stage that one could choose from; These are just a few of my favourites, especially Donald Smith. This great Australian tenor (Dr Donald Sydney Smith OBE), had a wonderful career spanning over 50 years as a professional opera singer. Although having suffered a stroke in his late 60's, he recovered sufficiently to still be singing and performing, well into his 70's, before is death at age 78. On one such occasion Donald performed outdoors at the Piazza Venue at World Expo 88. Incredibly, although still unable to walk unassisted, or speak clearly, (he sounded like he had been drinking), he was nevertheless still able to produce his magnificent sound with much of his former power, clarity and emotion.

I wonder if Smith would have been more famous if he went by Donaldo Smitherini?

Interesting picks here.

I agree. Corelli was not my favourite here, or even near. Jussi forever.

Del Monaco is the best!

He blows everybody out of the water and yet, he sings still controlled. Yes, quite a rare calibre.

Gigli e Bjorling. Mi spiace dirlo ma no Carreras.

I get that impression also.

Of course his voice was the most beautiful of all.

I meant Bjoerling.

@@rafaelplazapagan9725 Of course you did!!

Me inclino hacia lo mismo... gracias...

adn this ? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-n7VEBD0-T4Q.html

Corelli is the best ever..

@@oskarlina5912 Maravilloso Franco Corelli, obvio es una voz enorme de grande y es todo un Tsunami cuando larga todo ese torrente vocal. A mí gusto; Gigli y Bjorling son la medida justa de como se debe cantar. Timbre de voz, agudeza, notas perfectas y musicalidad sin estruendos.

This of course is just a sample of some of the worlds greatest tenors singing 'Amor Ti Vieta'. The aria is short and sweet, but allows the tenor to show great passion in their interpretation, regardless of the type of voice of the tenor. Appreciate you constructive comments.

I have-to agree - even though this Compilation is not a Competition. Domingo & Smith are "right-up-there" too, here. These magnificent singers may be forgiven errors in their own life. Gigli recorded nationalistic & militaristic songs in support-of the Mussolini Era invasion of Ethiopia. Domingo disgraced himself with Women. But, put all that aside & just listen: This Aria urges Love, to forgive. And Bjoerling is the Only Tenor who makes me Cry.

He was simply amazing! What a shame that he died so young!

Thanks for your comment. Donald Smith was arguably one of the greatest Australian operatic tenor voices of the 20th Century. He had an operatic career that spanned over forty years, during which time he amassed a repertoire of 50 major operatic tenor roles. He also sung and recorded hundreds of ballads and sacred songs, many of which are now featured on RU-vid, Vimeo, Reverbnation and other sites. He commenced his operatic career in Australia in the 1950's with the Australian Elizabethan Theatre Trust Opera Company. In the early 1960's he travelled to England and joined the Sadler's Wells Opera Company, where he remained their major principal tenor for over 10 years. He sung his first 'Calaf' in "Turandot" with the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, and performed for Queen Elizabeth II during this time at Royal Command performances. He returned to Australia in the 1970's, and was the first voice to sing in the opening of the Sydney Opera House. Although he occasionally thereafter sung outside Australia in Canada, Mexico and New Zealand, he remained the Australian Opera Company's principal tenor until his retirement in the late 1980's. Fortunately he has left behind a huge legacy of hundreds of recordings of his glorious voice. He passed away in Brisbane at the age of 78.

No question about Smith’s standing as an Australian tenor. Our best by some way. Albert Lance was also very good but just didn’t have the oomph Smith had.

IMHO disagree. Gigli understands each phrase more deeply , including the colors of the words, true stresses, and little decrescendi and portamenti that give polish and elegance. As astonishing as Björling always is, here his vocal production is not his usual glorious consistency: sometimes cover is not anticipated, some parts a bit too open , including looser breath; but nice phrasing and sense of melody. Forget all the rest.

Lanza for sure a great tenor.
