Giorgio Germont: Piero Cappuccilli Conductor: Richard Bonynge Coro y Orquestra del Teatro Colón, Buenos Aires Giuseppe Verdi - La traviata "Di Provenza il mar" Buenos Aires, 29. May 1969
Piero Cappucilli gives his Germont credibility and heart, seems neither bored nor insensitive, but also doesn't try to make this rather calm aria artificially more exciting by letting himself being tempted to use any antics, or musical or dramatic idiosyncrasies ... 🌹🌹🌹 Thank you for sharing this commanding and convincing performance! 🙏🍀
Indeed!! I agree with you! On a slightly related note, I remember a very interesting interview by Jerry Hadley where he was singing in a Maria Stuarda that got cancelled, so they did a Traviata last minute instead. Hadley walked into the dressing room to come face to face with a Piero Cappuccilli who had just showed up to do Germont! Ileana Cotrubas sang Violetta
@@TheAnalogAria Thank you for sharing this! I admire professionalism in an artist! Of course you have to have substance to be professional to the core, without losing the part of yourself that makes you an artist instead of a civil servant who fulfills his duties… The best of the best had it all…
