Carlo Bergonzi. Ah si ben mio & Di quella pira. Il trovatore. 

Anch'io ho arrivatto troppo tardi ! Saludos !

Jajajajaja ese bajobaritenor cuya nueva grabación de Otello es una tragedia de proporciones tristísimas. La definición decimonónica del sonido engolado

@@juanloaezaviadas500 Engolado o que no se ha sacado la patata de la boca desde que comenzó a cantar.

No me digas que el español engolado también es bajo??? Por lo menos de bajo ya no va a gritar tanto Jajaja..... Sólo le falta salir de mezzo con una minifalda.... Pensar que mi madre lo adora; le enseño y le pongo grabaciones y no se lo puedo ni tocar a su ídolo...mamma mía!!

@@pedroaranguren6160 Jajajaja, muy agudo. Bueno a una madre se le perdona todo. El próximo año el omnipresente caballero vociferante, cantará con pantalón corto con los niños de San Ildefonso, para tener un rol más, que es lo que más le gusta.

Disculpe a quien hace alusión?

John Schofield cadadia lo admiro más puse la misma arma por coreilli y ien abuelito tiene cascajo aunque se que es de los mejores pero me encanta Bergondo clarai nitidiai iagraidaiblei y sus notaisi altaisi puraisi

un grande Bergonzi, pero era un lírico con agudos redondos

E mezzo tono sotto.

@@sugarbist , sempre.

Comprendía la musicalidad de Verdi, de verdad es una eminencia en ese repertorio!!

La canta a tono, Corelli pocas veces. Pero la voz de Corelli, ay, irrepetible.

@@davidjhonlaraalayo9275 Totalmente de acuerdo.

@@pablocarrascosamiguel7680 Corelli era otro grande, con un estilo menos elegante pero un timbre y voz descomunal.

@@jesusmunoz2400 Menos elegante, peor cantante, más inseguro e irregular, pero el instrumento era la h... bomba, y el tipo en escena resultaba impactante.

It's a B-Natural, a half tone down, but it's fine.

@@sugarbist No... Listen well

@@davidjhonlaraalayo9275 I think when CB says the phrase '' suo figlio'' is where it's lowered.

In some instances, I believe there is an anatomical vocal cord structure a person is born to. Two examples come to mind of untrained voices that possessed an amazing resonance that could pierce the air and carry for miles are Freddy Mercury of Queen, and Mario Lanza who was a singing piano mover in the Philadelphia area when he was identified as strongly talented. It makes me wonder how trainable that particular vocal quality is and how voice teachers identify or reject a particular candidate.

Из той же Богемы..он и Бастианини так звучат в дуэте!

No, it's in original key. I don't like Bergonzi but in his youth he was a good singer.

Is it necessary to bring up Corelli? This was a great performance by CB. Besides, Bjorling was better than Corelli. 😝

​@@rdargeniolei non capisce niente di canto lirico ,si evince dal suo commento senza senso. Corelli è stato il piu grande Manrico di tutti i tempi,Bergonzi ottimo artista ,ma lontano anni luce da Corelli per voce, tecnica,timbro, estensione ,idem per lo svedese.

@@salvoferraro6976I admire Corelli greatly and understand the difference between singers. My point to you is that it is not necessary to elevate Corelli on posts of other singers. It’s annoying. You were clearly annoyed by my reference to Björling, which was a joke.

I heard him many times at the Metropolitan Opera from 1959 until he retired, and his voice was not small! He sang Radames, Ballo, luisa Miller, Forza, Canio, Chenier, to name a few roles. The Old Met had 3,800 seats same as the New Met. He sang there for about 30 years and was adored by the public. He could not have survived there with a small voice. He was a lyrico-spinto.

Thank you for replying and congratulations on your life-long connection to this great singer. Since I am not an opera expert, I have to rely on what I have read about Bergonzi. In an article written on July 11, 2014 by Tom Huizenga, "A Voice Of Velvet And Bronze: Carlo Bergonzi At 90," he writes: "Bergonzi may not have been as loud or intimidating as his Italian rivals (especially Mario del Monaco and Franco Corelli), but he outlasted them all..." One thing is certain, apart from the his admirers, myself included, he is not as well known to the general public as the other "greats." Mention the word "male opera singer" to anyone and what do you hear? "Pavarotti." Well... I have my special name for him: "Pervertotti."

We are fortunate to have these great recordings from tenors of the past, but the best way to judge a voice is hearing it live. Voices come in all sizes and colors. Some are big and some not so big, but to say a bigger voice than Bergonzi's is a yeller may not be accurate. Singing louder was not an option for Bergonzi as it may have been for other tenors like Barioni, Volpi, Filippeschi, Corelli, Del Monaco and Tucker. Bergonzi grew his career by singing well and received many fine reviews that are listed in the Met archives. His high notes were opaque and without squillo. But the Met archives, aside from Filippeschi, also contain many good reviews of the tenors I listed above.

Jan Ceska ● Come on ... people can't help coughing during live performances. They're not doing it on purpose.

Franz Lorenz ● Whenever I hear that a singer has a trill, I'm usually disappointed when I actually "hear" it. One commentator wrote that Bergonzi's trill was "true". I never knew he had a trill & after hearing this video, I'm convinced never to be sucked-in again. We all are entitled to our opinions about these great singers, but don't tell people so-&-so has a trill when so-&-so doesn't ! After hearing Selma Kurz, no singer, I don't care who they are ( the Castratri --- YES ! ) can come close to her mastering of that skill [ 15 seconds ] :: even, rapid speed, total vocal-control, breathlessly unwavering ; incomparable self-confidence ! As Aretha Franklin would say :: "Rock-steady ! Rock-steady, Baby !"

concordo

si in effetti, bergonzi era cantante raffinato con un bel legato e fraseggio e idoneo per interpretare Verdi e magari altro, ma la vocalita non era dirompente, non aveva squillo colore, diciamo che il suono della sua voce era povero e limitato.....lui però ha saputo ovviare a questi limiti con appunto uno stile di canto corretto e melodioso che l'ha fatto sempre apprezzare dagli appassionati.

E' sufficiente ascoltare BONISSOLI o CORELLI......o il grande Lauri Volpi per rendersi conto che nelle note acute......non ci siamo è un SI stiracchiato

Vero he un si naturale. Io ho studiato la partitura , la nota finale he scritta si ., ma volte nelle pratica si puo cantare un do. Vorrei dire anche una cosa , a quella epoca le tecniche di sonorizazzione non eranno di grande qualita e non si puo paragonare con le registrazione odierni. Sarei curioso di sapere cosa sarebbe stata la voce di Bergonzi con questi novi modi di registrazione. Scusi sono francese. saluti.

This is in the original key. C major with great high C’s!!!! I have perfect pitch and the difference from his other live recordings (in which he does transpose to B natural) is obvious!
