VIncenzo Scalera is a magnificent partner, not calling him an accompanist, because he is a true magnificent partner. One of the greatest alive today! BRAVO! Just discovered him by listening to him with Juan Diego Florez onTakt1! Great pianist and musician
As I have just posted elsewhere on youtube, Bergonzi is the very greatest tenor of the past 100 years, with the possible exception of Caruso. Incredible.
Sounds to me like he models his style on Gigli but although I admire him he is a poor second to Gigli listen to anything he sings then Gigli No comparison
Sorry John I can't agree with you. Gigli at his best is a great tenor but he has poor taste much of the time and is far too self-indulgent with excessive vibrato and breaks up the line, showing a lack of appreciation for the composer's intentions. Bergonzi never offends against taste or style.
You have no idea what you are talking about Offending who I would ask Bergonzi is a manufactured voice Gigli was a natural successor to Caruso Bergonzi if he were alive would laugh at you comparing him to Gigli obviously you are not a singer and if you are your a poor one You not agreeing with me made me laugh 😂 nobody would agree with you I could name 40 Tenors better than Bergonzi
You are entitled to you opinions. I have trouble seeing how he is a greater tenor than di Stefano, Gigli, Wunderlich, Corelli, Pavarotti, Bjorling, and Del Monaco.
@andresfRC The songs that signor Bergonzi sings is in order: 1. Cesare Andrea Bixio, Solo per te, Lucia 2.Ernesto de Curtis,Ti voglio tanto bene 3.Cesare Andrea Bixio,Mamma 4..Cesare Andrea Bixio,Parlami dámore Mariù All four songs belongs to the repertoire of the great Beniamino Gigli.
Qual menestrello d'amor, piccola bimba del cuor, io vorrei nell'estasi sospirar chino ai tuoi piè. Ogni segreto dolor scorderò, sol per te. Solo per te, Lucia, va la canzone mia. Come in un sogno di passion tu sei l'eterna mia vision. Una vision d'amore che mi tormenta il cuore e nel mio sogno vivo per te, sol per te, Lucia. Solo per te, Lucia, va la canzone mia. Come in un sogno di passion tu sei l'eterna mia vision. Una vision d'amore che mi tormenta il cuore e nel mio sogno vivo per te, sol per te, Lucia.
In 1951, after retraining his voice, he made his debut as a tenor in the title role of Andrea Chénier and still at this age he sings marvelously! He must be doing something right technically, yes? LoL
Absolut. Aber meines Verständnisses nach blieb er immer konsequent in der Deckung wo viele andere die vokalbildung allzu offen praktizierten. Ein negativ Beispiel dieser gesangstechnischen grundbasis stellt für mich di Stefano dar,der immer viel zu offen sang.
Molto meglio il pianista del cantante.Bergonzi non affronta queste canzoni con la grazia del grande Gigli, è afflitto da manierismi e ha difficoltà evidenti nel registro acuto (basti notare il pessimo finale de 'Ti voglio tanto bene',in cui l'acuto è proprio evitato).Da anziano Tagliavini era molto più degno di Bergonzi ad omaggiare un mito come quello di Gigli
Ferruccio Tagliavini much better singing this a baritone or even a bass could sing in these keys that’s tenor quality not tenor tessitura put a decent voice beside him you wouldn’t here him Stupid eyes looking to the ceiling singing F lol 😆 Just love the pianist
