Io ero corista in quelle recite, vi assicuro che furono trionfi. Mai sentito niente di simile. Alla fine della stagione Areniana 1989 gli fu assegnato lo Zenatello d'oro come miglior artista. Grazie Bepi per tutte le emozioni che ci hai fatto provare. Rip!!!!!!!.
Per chi, come me, ha avuto il privilegio di ascoltare Giacomini dal vivo, c'è adesso un solo rimpianto: non aver viaggiato di più per poterlo ascoltare. Eppure è sempre stato chiaro che di una voce simile ce n'è una per secolo.
Ho assistito a questa recita e dopo questa romanza ha avuto il più grande applauso che io abbia mai sentito in ARENA. E devo dire di aver ascoltato Bergonzi Del Monaco Corelli Domingo etc. Un grandissimo tenore purtroppo sottovalutato.
Ho assistito a una delle repliche ed ho un ricordo meraviglioso di quella serata. L' acuto finale dell'aria era un raggio abbagliante che ha illuminato d' emozione tuttta l arena
Io ! ho avuto la fortuna di accompagnarlo dal Vivo al San Carlo col mio Cello !!! Ascoltando questa Registrazione mi è venuta in Mente la Stessa Impressione : Del Monaco & Domingo fusi in una stessa VOCE !!!! Grazie al RIVA DI QUESTO DOCUMENTO UNICO !! Victorstarita
I have no idea why GC hasn't had the recognition he deserves. This is a real Verdi tenor. Probably more 'can belto' than 'bel canto', but an excellent voice. Probably eclipsed by MDM, Corelli and Bergonzi, but so much much better than many who have come since. Thanks for the upload.
Probably like being a tennis player now, with Federer and Nadal. Corelli was a gift from heaven. There was no comparing to him, MDM was similar. Without those two Giacomini would have been the star.
Giacomini is the ultimate interpreter of this role as far as I'm concerned, even though I haven't listened to that many different performances of it. I just can't imagine how it could be any better. He's like a superhero of tenors!
I've been at one of his performances in verona at that time, the voice just stunned me..... he surely can be put in the group of the best tenors ever, thankyou very much for the registration
He sure is one of the best ever...an ever lasting leggato with a full deep but brilliant sound, epitomizes him as a real "Tenore-dramtico" or heldentenor. Thanks for sharing this divine material of maestro Giacomini singing this lyrical jewel!!!...BRAVOOOO!!!!!!!
I saw a different video from this run in Verona where the audience bust into applause after the last Bb to Ab(would be at 5:06 in this video) and the aria had to be stopped. I wish I had that video.
Carreras' singing was stunning in his prime. I agree that Giacomini was the superior spinto to Domingo, but don't underrate the pure beauty of a young Carreras.
My comment is old enough that I don’t really agree with it anymore haha. Young Carreras was immaculate. Nobody sang like that. The passion, the sound, pure beauty like you said. My whole singing life has been altered forever by his recordings from the 70s. Young Carreras is number one in my book. Giacomini was just very very loud
@@gansonsalmon42 I'm glad you've been converted! I will say, I consider Giacomini to be more than just loud. He has a lot of sensitivity and expression, it was just such a massive voice that it took him a while to be able to sing more subtly. Particularly in the '94 Modena recital, he shows off his beautifully sculpted italianate phrasing. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1M1NDY5s0cg.html
@@TrueConnoisseur When I was singing in Bonn, Germany Giuseppe sang a run of Tosca there. After the first aria, the applause was over 5 mins. One of the best evenings of singing I have every seen. Next day, every tenor in the house was in the house practicing! That is the ultimate homage!
@31122051 Total y absolutamente de acuerdo.Comparable al gran Pavarotti o tal vez mejor.Extraordinario.No se le ha dado la importancia que realmente merece.Esta interpretación de "LA FORZA DEL DESTINO"no hay ser humano que la mejore y dificilmente lo habrá.
I saw him in this part in Chicago and he was spectacular. The right heft for Alvaro, unlike many who attempt the part. But he was apparently very erratic and had many harrowing off nights.
