Boy, that was incredible. I’m just imagining now what Caruso and Ruffo would have sounded like in the flesh singing this. Their recording just gives us a hint.
wow!! Magnificent. These giants are gone today (Though Domingo still with us as a baritone) but we have the memories. Domingo was always a great tenor. Milnes a superb baritone
Maestro Milnes went and doubled that final tenor note... ...so please understand that, if in attendance, after these titans got through (and I am referring to everybody on that stage, because that orchestra is just beyond superlatives...), the paramedics would have had to carry me out strapped to a stretcher, weeping uncontrollably in a state of unhinged ecstatic bliss. Thank you, Giuseppe Verdi, for the historic gemstone of a opera that is OTELLO. I need to lie down.
What we call in these parts, an Embarrassment of Riches. I hope those who attended remember that evening for the spectacularly rare gem that it was. We'll never have so brilliant a pairing again. Mil gracias.
@@BaroneVitellioScarpia1 sicuramente! Del Monaco il mio preferito! Giacomini mi piace moltissimo, ha duettato con Milnes qui: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NVir140saiY.html
