Zancanaro was a regular and great baritone in Munich and Vienna in the 80s, I saw him many times. This is a a wonderful interpretation. One one occasion his father was in a performance, I forget which opera, and the audience loved GZ's aria and bravoed then his dad stood up and called out "e lui è mio figlio!" and the house went through the roof.
GB in questo repertorio preferisco : Titta Ruffo,,Stracciari,Danise, Granforte,Galeffi,Urbano,Warren anche se nel suo canto l'accento americano era molto presente, Ancona,De Luca,Batistini, Bastianini e compagnia ... la mia lista è troppo lunga e già faccio fatica.... dal vivo la voce di Zancanaro era un'altra cosa. quando avevo sentito per la prima volta dal vivo questo bravissimo artista era la soppressa della serata !... prima di sentirlo dal vivo mi immaginavo che Zancanro canta con una vocalità pastosa,ampia, bella,ricca degli armonici... visto che la voce delle sue registrazioni che avevo sentito prima era tale... ma che delusione. aveva meno voce di Ramey.... già Ramey aveva meno voce di Vinay chi era tenore .... e' veramente incredibile il fatto come i valori hanno cambiato negli ultimi 50-60 anni... incredibile anche il fatto che esistono dei baritoni come Domingo... accanto à Nucci e i baritoni odierni Zancanaro resta un grande attore. poi il discorso della voce e il senso del patriottismo non aiutano molto... da anni non avevo sentito mai più dal vivo un tenore come Corelli,Björling,Tucker,Vinay e la loro compagnia,uno soprano come la Gencer,la Zeani,la Nilsson, la Dimitrova e compagnia... idem per i bassi,baritoni,mezzosoprani, contralti che avevo sentito degli anni 1958-68. la commedia è finita. o tempora o mores.
bodiloto caro amico siamo in tempi di vacche magre ... i tenori bolsi cantano da baritoni, i soprani sfiatati cantano da mezzo e noi ci sorbiamo quello che capita, e accettiamo quello che é passabile come gradevole. La memoria di chi cantava, ripeto cantava davvero... non ce la toglie nessuno ed a certi giganti del passato oggi abbiamo da opporre solo pigmei. Tempo fa ho declinato l'invito di andare a sentire la Netrebko , ratatouille di soprano in salsa dell'est,ed Hempson che come baritono é il prezzemolo del teatri che di voci capiscono un due di picche... Perchè pagare un biglietto per annoiarsi, ci si riesce benissimo anche da soli !!!
+numetutelare Cara amica, quello che dici purtroppo è la triste verità. Per il conto mio vado ancora al teatro quasi ogni sera sperando che un giorno sentirò di nuovo le voci di un/a giovane cantante tipo Corelli, Bastianini, La Nilsson, Ghena, La Zeani, La Gencer, La Nicolai.... dum spiro spero. Hai ragione è come! Io vado al teatro perché non pago più il mio biglietto... Poi la musica meravigliosa di Verdi,Puccini,Bellini,Rossini,Donizetti, Mussorgsky,Mozart etc.etc.etc... anzi così suonata male,urlata e gridata per me rimane immortale. Adoro di 'sentire' il polvere nel teatro,di respirare quest'aria pesante che sta provocando dei cari ricordi in me... e poi la magia quando la luce si spegne...e il silenzio del pubblico e gli applausi per il maestro... questi momenti facevano e fanno parte della vita mia. adoro il teatro,sono uno chi non arriva di liberarsi /divorziare/ della sua amante che si chiama Nostalgia. ciao.

I keep asking the question why this man is not recognized as one of the greatest baritones of modern times? I would appreciate in insightful comment; not just a bland negative statement. He has it all; legato, range, rich timber and a ringing top! And that for a baritone!
He was quite popular in Europe and had plenty of work in the big European houses. He only had 7 dates at the Met in 1982, however, so many opera cognoscenti have never even heard of him. After the 1970s he rarely performed in America. He reportedly had inner ear problems supposedly exacerbated by flying, so he preferred to stay in Europe where money was to be made; the U.S. houses could not pay as much. He also had a relatively narrow repertoire (Verdi, Puccini and a few of the French warhorses). He got a very late start in music, having been a policeman until the age of 30. He also tended to avoid the limelight, he just liked to work and get paid (and work he did - in the 1980s he was singing up to 20 nights a month, which is insane). He was certainly not unknown in his time, however.
I've wondered the same thing ever since I first heard him on YT several years ago. I only had to watch a couple of videos for him to knock Yuri Mazurok off the My Favorite Baritone pedestal he'd occupied for three decades. To me, he's the Fritz Wunderlich of baritones--exquisite timbre unlike any other singer's, flawless technique, and, most importantly, he knows what GB Shaw called "the secret in the poet's heart" when it comes to communicating what composer and librettist intended. I was a Met regular back in 1982, didn't hear a word about him on the standee grapevine, & the NY Times ignored all his performances. Glad to know he was properly appreciated in Europe, but what a loss for US operagoers!
Ogni parola è valorizzata, sceverata, riempita di senso e di emozione. Niente è buttato lì alla buona. Esecuzioni così si potrebbero ascoltare cento volte ed ogni volta goderne.
The Director must have disliked the wonderful talented Giorgio Zancanaro ! Notice that During the most exciting part of the aria , the director makes him sing it with his back to the audience and puts the attention on Neil ! Had a director asked me to to that , I would have done it for all the rehearsals ,then on opening night I would just plant my feet looking out to the audience and sing ! Some directors have no clue about the traditions of opera !!!!!!
Does anybody else sing this with the sort of gorgeous attention to the score markings (articulation! dynamics!!!)?? Maybe not the most “cavernous” voice but everything about the vocal interpretation is so well executed
I baritoni, ma i cantanti in genere, con queste voci rimangono per sempre perchè sono gemme preziose che non nascono tutti i giorni (come nel calcio di Pelè o Maradona basta una mano per contarne in un secolo). Oggigiorno accanto a queste voci monumentali nello web, a disposizione di chiunque, girano voci di ogni tipo. Io penso che tutto serve per capire meglio e per farci sempre più apprezzare chi veramente ha il bronzo ed il velluto nella voce.
Claudio Frezzini bronzo ed il velluto nella voce di Zancanaro ?!?! sogni d'oro ... dal vivo era un'altra cosa ... Zancanaro aveva una voce fonogenica e le sue registrazioni purtroppo non hanno niente a vedere con la verità artistica . da anni le registrazioni false sono alla moda ... dal vivo Zancanaro aveva meno voce dei Tenori che avevo sentito dal vivo degli anni 1956-66. mi immagino sul palco Zancanaro /Jago/ accanto a Vinay /Otello/ ... dopo la recita rideremo insieme ... il vecchio
Or...he did realize it but then all the major companies are like: “but placido...we currently don’t have anyone better, if you don’t sing these baritone roles we are going to lose even more money than we are already losing at the moment.” Btw, yes I’ve heard modern baritones, they are absolutely nothing compared to domingo. So your comment is completely idiotic, sorry.
Éste sí en un verdadero barítono, no como los tenores fallidos que se van de barítonos y no tienen el timbre. Excelente interpretación y una voz hermosa.
Andrés Felipe Mejía Pinzón No fue mi intensión herir susceptibilidades de "Tenor sin agudos", no me digas que eres un "Barítono Matin" por que lo dudaría mucho. De todas las variedades de barítono que hay ninguno debe sonar a tenor, pues si es así en realidad es un tenor de closet, un tenor disfrazado de barítono. Hay que aceptar la realidad y definirse en la vida.
+Andrés Felipe Mejía Pinzón Si comprendes el idioma italiano (lo cual dudo mucho) puedes ver el comentario anterior al mío, el de "numetutelare" pero principalmente las respuestas a ese comentario y como verás no se puede tapar el sol con un dedo. Los conocedores de ópera te lo pueden confirmar, acércate a ellos, podrás aprender mucho, es comprensible tu respuesta a mi comentario, pues eres aún muy joven.
Wonderful to hear a dark baritone even in his higher tones. On top of this he sings bel-canto both in his piano and in his forte Listen to his Tabarro fo the dramatic darkness! Great!.
Voce di prim'ordine e dizione esemplare...quello che più manca è l'espressione della parola cantata!!! è un'interpretazione che lascia indifferenti...purtroppo!!! Saluti
@@道-p2e McNeil never sounded weak on anything. Same for Warren and Bastianini. Germont Pere is not weak - he is a tough, hard and manipulative father. He shows Violetta no mercy in Act 2, he manipulates his son/or tries to in this aria and, in Act 2 scene 2, he is brutal in his admonishment of Alfredo and as tough as they come as he sees the suffering of Violetta. Zancanaro is a superb fit for this role. So are the others you mention - but NOT for the reasons you set out.
@@道-p2e Utter rubbish. What do you mean a dark old voice? Domingo? It requires a properly trained, bel canto, Verdi baritone. Of that era, Cappuccilli, Bruson and Zancanaro (not to mention Silvano Caroli, Mario Zanasi, Glossop, Thomas Allen - I could go on) I heard them all. With great respect, you clearly know very little and certainly not sufficient to tell the world "what this role will need". Do you have any idea, any idea, how "big shining and strong" was MacNeil's voice? It was ENORMOUS with phenomenal sonority. So too, Cappuccilli - one of the greatest Germonts who appeared never to breathe in this aria (search out the TH-cam of him his breathing is extraordinary - th-cam.com/video/JtqFLtlclC0/w-d-xo.html). Bruson (th-cam.com/video/sMXK8FsucKs/w-d-xo.html) and Zancanaro (th-cam.com/video/M5ub0fSHObw/w-d-xo.html), although different, brought a phenomenal nobility of sound (even through the cruelty) to the role of Germont. Just what Verdi intended.
@@Tevyeh613 You even know Rubbish of your mouth. Certainly you know overwhelmingly ton of trash. I only narrow on this particular aria and opera role. I do not think Z is best fit for this, but not to deny his great voice nor singing. What is the point of you taking this too personal or angry, what a silly little closet pity you are!!!
@@Tevyeh613 Only you mentioned Domingo here, if he is your God. Not in my interest. I am not interested in "telling the world" or tell you whatever, it is your own problem of getting angry easy. Go to see doctor asap. MacNeil and Ruffo did the finest versions on this aria. I repeat here. You clearly do not read nor listen, just too much of yourself.
I saw Giorgio Zancanaro live as Germont in 'La Traviata' at l'Arena di Verona. His voice had both fullness and edge, easily reaching my stratospheric location in this 20,000-seat venue. He was overall the most satisfying Germont I've ever seen, with a sound much like Ettore Bastianini.
I love both Ettore Bastianini & Giorgio Zancanaro. It's not surprising that Bastianini influenced Zancanaro. However, given that Bastianini started out as a bass, he always seemed more like a bass baritone than a lyric baritone to me. Zancanaro is essentially a strong lyric baritone. He reminds me somewhat of Riccardo Stracciari. Both are WONDERFUL! How I wish we had baritones like this now!
@bodiloto OK.Certes,il est particulièrement léger pour ce rôle et l'interprétation sans la vraie couleur ne pose pas le personnage de père "noble":Celà devient sommaire,même bien chanté...Il était bon de préciser ta pensée et sa pertinence pour l'édification d'auditeurs moins avertis que toi! Salut mon ami.
Una linea di canto a dir poco superba....un baritono verdiano nel senso più pertinente...rara bellezza armonica e interpretativa...grandioso Giorgio...❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏.....tanto di...🎩
How ridiculous are all these who always want to compare a singer with another one. I only get a great pleasure listening all these wonderful voices and I should be so happy if Gos had given me such a voice!Sorry I don't speak english very well. ON PEUT AIMER DES STYLES,DES EXPRESSIONS DIFFERENTES SANS JETER LE DISCREDIT SUR DE GRANDES VALEURS DE L'ART LYRIQUE;
So many schools for singing and opera houses are ridiculous because they compare singers. And Verdi and Wagner were ridiculous. They compared singers in order to choose adequate voices for their operas. They rejected singers that were not well suited for some roles. Yesterday and now there are singers uncomfortable with some operas, composers, roles,etc. Others just read the scores and....no more. Indeed, if you read some interviews, many singers analyze the art of singing and underline the problems, and advantages of many recognized artists/ partners. Not everybody is good or excellent in all the roles. Some conductors are not masters of singing and choose inadequate voices. Read 2 books: Bravo and Diva.
If Giorgio Zancanaro reminds me of anyone it's Riccardo Starcciari, and that is high praise. Both baritones had what I would call relatively bright baritone sounds with open production. Each singer is what I would call intensely musical. That's not just musicianship, which can be acquired, but musicality. That's something you have to be born with, there's no way to fake it. I strongly prefer Giorgio Znacanaro to the other baritones of his time, Sherrill Milnes; Ingvar Wixell, Louis Quilico, Leo Nucci, Piero Cappucilli, & Renato Bruson.
No con tutto il rispetto Bruson ha due difetti, la salita agli acuti problematica e il subilo sulle esse che inficiano la pronuncia... Non ultimo Zancanaro è un gran signore, Bruson un presuntuoso vanesio...

LOVELY story!
Delightful singing and acting as well. Thank you for posting!
Es perfecto. Impresionante.
EXCELENTE!!!
Surprised at the rather underwhelmed ovation from the audience. For me this is probably one of the finest performances of Di Provenza.
Perfetto esempio di baritono verdiano ... lo ascoltino i baritoni attuali che spesso sono inascoltabili !
GB
in questo repertorio preferisco :
Titta Ruffo,,Stracciari,Danise,
Granforte,Galeffi,Urbano,Warren anche se nel suo canto l'accento americano era molto presente, Ancona,De Luca,Batistini, Bastianini e compagnia ... la mia lista è troppo lunga e già faccio fatica....
dal vivo la voce di Zancanaro era un'altra cosa.
quando avevo sentito per la prima volta dal vivo questo bravissimo artista era la soppressa della serata !...
prima di sentirlo dal vivo mi immaginavo che Zancanro canta con una vocalità pastosa,ampia, bella,ricca degli armonici... visto che la voce delle sue registrazioni che avevo sentito prima era tale...
ma che delusione.
aveva meno voce di Ramey....
già Ramey aveva meno voce di Vinay chi era tenore ....
e' veramente incredibile il fatto come i valori hanno cambiato negli ultimi 50-60 anni...
incredibile anche il fatto che esistono dei baritoni come Domingo...
accanto à Nucci e i baritoni odierni Zancanaro resta un grande attore.
poi il discorso della voce e il senso del patriottismo non aiutano molto...
da anni non avevo sentito mai più dal vivo un tenore come Corelli,Björling,Tucker,Vinay e la loro compagnia,uno soprano come la Gencer,la Zeani,la Nilsson, la Dimitrova e compagnia... idem per i bassi,baritoni,mezzosoprani, contralti che avevo sentito degli anni 1958-68.

ciao.
si e no... ci sono anche altri baritoni verdiani per esempio il rumeno George Petean che ha una voce meravigliosa!!! Pure che ha detto e vero 80%.
George Petean's teacher is... Giorgio Zancanaro :-)
Possibly one of the sweetest baritones of all time,
Grandissimo Artista con tecnica saldissima e presenza scenica eccellente! Dizione fraseggio e accento di prim' ordine...Ammirato diverse volte in Arena dove... con la voce non si può barare...
It's nice to listen to a baritone who doesn't compress the breath and artificially darken...bravo Zancanaro!
Baritones everywhere should study this video as a masterclass in navigating tricky register transitions.
I agree Nate, Zancanaro has such a superb technique. A true master.
Grandissimo Zancanaro. ❤❤❤

I'm just sorry this magnificent baritone didn't do more recordings during his career. Love him
Me tooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually, he did a lot of recordings, u can find tons of them on Deezer.
Powerful rendition.
Clear diction. One of the best performances I have ever listened to.
Un vero baritono verdiano: potenza, volume, voce bella e tonante, timbro scuro, acuti sicuri, fiato lungo nel finale! 🤩🔥🔥
His voice possesses that rare combination of heft and tenderness. My favorite baritono
Zancanaro forever !!!!!!!!!

Guido De Pascale
negli ultimi anni grazie allo stereo tutto e' diventato possibile ...
Absolutely love his technique...his breathing is phenomenal
AWESOME! i love the brightness of his upper register. it's not foggy and unfocused like so many baritones with darker tone.
Yes, and he manages the difficult feat that many cannot, of being seamless between middle and upper register
One of the greatest Baritones of the last 100 years,hugely underated by record Companies
Mio marito Giorgio ha fatto molti dischi !!!
I should add that it's dramatic in the best sense of the word. He knows WHAT he is singing - not just notes.
Came across this by accident - one of the best versions of this lovely aria that I have ever heard. What a lyrical, beautifully modulated voice.
The richness of his voice is just remarkable, coupled with the surprising brilliant glints of the top.
Giorgio Zancanaro (Germont), Neil Shicoff (Alfredo), Carlo Rizzi (conductor ) La Fenice di Venezia.
I love Zancanaro
There are apparently 9 people on the internet who don't know world class singing when they hear it.
Hoy he descubierto a Zancanaro, me encanta. Pura música, bellísima voz, bellísimo arte.
Bravo! This is opera singing the right way.Viva the art of opera.

Una de las mejores voces de barìtono que pudo haber. Tècnica y estilo, soberbios.
THAT POWER OF VOICE AND SO MELODIOUS , REALLY WAS ONE OF THE GREAT.
Eccellente interpretazione. Tocca il cuore la grazia e la commozione con le quali ZANCANARO porge questo meraviglioso brano.
if domingo heard this guy he wouldnt try it baritones have more horsepower
Merveilleuse voix. Je l'ai entendu plusieurs fois au Grand-Théàtre de Bordeaux.❤
Wonderful, rich voice. Perfect interpretation. BRAVO.
BRAVO !!
Domingo should listen to this marvellous baritone and realise he isn't one snd continue conduting

I love both Ettore Bastianini & Giorgio Zancanaro. It's not surprising that Bastianini influenced Zancanaro. However, given that Bastianini started out as a bass, he always seemed more like a bass baritone than a lyric baritone to me. Zancanaro is essentially a strong lyric baritone. He reminds me somewhat of Riccardo Stracciari. Both are WONDERFUL! How I wish we had baritones like this now!
Yo escuché varias veces en vivo. Un Baritono con buen gusto pero simplemente correcto.

ON PEUT AIMER DES STYLES,DES EXPRESSIONS DIFFERENTES SANS JETER LE DISCREDIT SUR DE GRANDES VALEURS DE L'ART LYRIQUE;
So many schools for singing and opera houses are ridiculous because they compare singers.
And Verdi and Wagner were ridiculous. They compared singers in order to choose adequate voices for their operas. They rejected singers that were not well suited for some roles.
Yesterday and now there are singers uncomfortable with some operas, composers, roles,etc. Others just read the scores and....no more.
Indeed, if you read some interviews, many singers analyze the art of singing and underline the problems, and advantages of many recognized artists/ partners.
Not everybody is good or excellent in all the roles.
Some conductors are not masters of singing and choose inadequate voices.
Read 2 books: Bravo and Diva.
Bravo.
Zancanaro and Cappuccilli are my favorites baritones ever.
Great.
Fantastici entrambi! ❤
Grande Giorgio!
Genuinely sorry I missed out on this guy's career. (I don't suppose he is still singing...)
een van de mooiste baritons ooit !!!
Me gusta mucho esta versión Me piace moltissimo la sua voce On peut dire qu'il chante trés trés bien cette aria
Desde Santiago de Chile
Que maravilla, que belleza de voz!!!, Bravo!!!!!!!!
Bravissimo!
I adore Zancancanar's singing--so beautiful and sexy.
the best of the best
Grandissimo Baritono
This guy is a beast.
Mindblowing!
많은 성악가들의 노래 중 가장 아버지 다운 목소리와 감정을 표현 한 듯 합니다...브라보
Bravo, bravo, bravo!!!!!!!!!!
Zancanaro is great
Yes, very moving
If Giorgio Zancanaro reminds me of anyone it's Riccardo Starcciari, and that is high praise. Both baritones had what I would call relatively bright baritone sounds with open production. Each singer is what I would call intensely musical. That's not just musicianship, which can be acquired, but musicality. That's something you have to be born with, there's no way to fake it. I strongly prefer Giorgio Znacanaro to the other baritones of his time, Sherrill Milnes; Ingvar Wixell, Louis Quilico, Leo Nucci, Piero Cappucilli, & Renato Bruson.
great...!!!
georgeous
Up there with the best recorded versions!
una voz asombrosa, quizá la que mas bella y potente quede escuchado nunca junto a Renato Brusson
No con tutto il rispetto Bruson ha due difetti, la salita agli acuti problematica e il subilo sulle esse che inficiano la pronuncia... Non ultimo Zancanaro è un gran signore, Bruson un presuntuoso vanesio...
it's a nice aria. he sung it very good.
This must be close to the definitive performance of this magnificent composition. Bravo.
Voce che plasma ogni nota emessa, emoziona la "rotondita' " vocale
That was the most moving, convincing and excitingly sung rendition I have ever encountered! Much praise to both singers and director.
Grande Maestro tu sei il mio eroe!!!!
