I have only just realised our heroes each died just two years apart. Dmitri in 2017 age 55, Jessye in 2019 age 74, and 2021 aged 80. How tragic. I hope up and coming stars of the future watch and learn from these three incomparable singers. We will never see their
Like again. God bless them all 💕🙏🌹🙏💕🙏🌹🙏💕🌹xxx
Dimitri and Jessye we love and miss you both forever you live in our hearts and in your loving in your song.
Unfortunately, we now have to miss Giuseppe too.
OMG!!! My two favourite operatic singers!! Had no idea a young Dmitri ( pre his silver Fox days bless him) had sung with the fabulous Jessye Norman!! How superb! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕 But oh my! It makes us all realise what a great loss we have suffered by the passing of both wonderful and charismatic people with those incredible voices. I love watching Jessie’s face as she really gets into the part and becomes that person….I’ve been transfixed just watching her other performances, particularly singing “ Mon Coeur” from Samson and Delilah, (which if you haven’t seen is a superb treat!).
I have watched Dimiitri sing much more when older, and like all of us here, it’s still so hard to believe we have been robbed of two of the most Brilliant singers of our time, and much,much too soon. We must be thankful for dvd recordings of them both, which allows us and future generations to watch and enjoy them again and again in the future, but oh my! How we sorrow ,and still feel the pain of their loss 😢. RIP Jessye and Dmitri,..Thankyou both so very, very much for ALL the pleasure you gave us during your time here on earth.
Heaven has aquired two exceptional Angels To the heavenly Choir! 💐💕🙏💕🌹🙏
Jessie is monumental. I wish there were more recordings of her with visuals too.
Now as she is gone, it is obvious she as not recorded, and she has not performed enough. How did it happen?
Hvorostovsky - his tragic and early death still leaves me feeling bereft. What a talent!
I agree. A huge loss.
How did he pass?
@@TCt83067695 He was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2015, and died in 2017. He was 55 when he passed away.
@@caramelorb oh no. I pray for his family.
Thanks for the info 👍🏾
I was shocked !
To my shame I have never heard of Giuseppe Giacomini until this performance , and my goodness! I can now understand all your positive comments about his amazing voice! Wow! And now to my horror and sadness find that he actually passed away on my birthday July 28th, 2021. 😢 God certainly chooses his heavenly choir Angels with perfect taste! And so he too joins our friends Jessye and Dmitri….what a huge loss we have suffered here! ….as I mentioned in a previous comment, that God dvds have been invented and our heroes have been recorded so we, and future generations can watch and listen to them over and over, never tiring.
RIP Giuseppe…I hope you are watching down on up and coming stars, as you continue to sing so amazingly, along with friends mentioned, who very regretfully passed away too soon too, 🌹💕🙏🙏👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Both Norman and Hvorostovsky left us far too soon. It's good to hear them both in their prime again.
Agree, it was such a pleasant surprise to find this video of them both.
So sad that we have lost all three of these special artists. Rest in everlasting peace.
Despite We are not immortals, but, we will never get use by the fact of losing some beloved and great people such as Mrs Norman and Mr Hvorostovsky. Bravo! and Well done ! Great Forever !
Giacomini is absolutely amazing
I agree. Really terrific.
Always
Giacomini is to me ITALY. I can’t live without hearing him regularly. Norman is affected and annoyingly orotund. Hvorostovsky was always appealing in a Slavic baritone sounding way though his phrasing was monochromatic every role sounds the same.
I never got to meet my hero Miss Jessye, but having encountering the singularly warm generous and bubbly Dimitry once, i can only imagine the good times and conversations they had. I miss them both so much.
Dmitri was already showing his talent😍
Golly what a cast!
Maestro- Remember! Dimitri Hvorostovski.!
I can't believe Jessye and Dmitri are both gone. It's very sad, but now they can sing together in heaven!
And now we have to add Giacomini. Very sad🌹
I find it strange how we humans expect things to remain the same and special people in our lives to live forever. We're our own cause of suffering. But of course, being tragic goes hand in hand with opera lovers.
Tres extraordinarios cantantes,un extraordinario director y una extraordinaria orquesta.
Dimitri Hvorostovsky! ❤👏💔💖
Giacomini the most perfect spinto tenor. Norman as always singing everything with a spiritual round zwischenfach sound like she is in a Baptist church. Hvorostovsky sounding radiant and fresh. A lovely recording with interesting and different approaches on this fiery opera. All three soloists in the heavens now.
Giacomini - one of the most underrated dramatic tenors. When you mention his name, so many people say "Who?". But what a huge voice! At 13.39 his squillo almost drowns out Norman (and what a set of pipes she had). What a super video.Thank you.
This is really very sad, because Giacomini was really one the best if not " the best " tenor, with his magnificent voice ( Andrea Chenier for example).
And at 6:35 he nearly knocks the players out of their shoes
Giacomini huge! all the strength of the voice through the core up to the squillo, Norman covers it, never had an 'Italian' squillo, so much so that they often spoke of a long satin mezzo-soprano, who knew no equal; anyway both big stars shining on us 🙏
Besides the great conductor mr Semyon Bychkov who is more than a wonderful conductor all the rest of the singers...they all passed away.....glorious voices R.I.P ...
DIMA!💔
Tragic deaths of both Jessye Norman(1945-2019) and Dmitri Hvorostovsky (1962-2017)
And now we have to add Giacomini. Very sad🌹
I've heard it said the Giuseppe Giacomini had so much "blade" in his voice, it was almost painful to be in a small rehearsal room with him. Glorious. This is what singing is supposed to be, to me. I am delighted to see him in action, alongside some other big voices.
I saw him sing manrico in the theatre. Magnificent sound.
@@stevenmathers6661 - How lucky you were to have seen that performance.
Semyon Bychkov, Norman and Hvorostovsky, the best!
Csodás énekesek, zenészek, zene! Boldogság hallgatni!
Спасибо за Дмитрия Хворостовского !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Дима был моим другом.
@@caramelorb может, ещё есть чем поделиться))
@@bladsshot9361 У меня не так много видеозаписей Димы, которые еще не были размещены на TH-cam. Этот короткий документальный фильм предназначался для показа в магазинах звукозаписи, распространения среди розничных продавцов пластинок и отправки средствам массовой информации для популяризации записи "Cavelleria rusticana" 1990 года. К счастью, у меня сохранилась копия, которую я недавно нашел.
@@caramelorb Спасибо огромное Вам .
Нет равных Дмитрию Александровичу.. ,незабываемый голос его остался на нашей планете... Навсегда.
@@kornodo002 Я согласен. Он был уникален, и его время с нами было слишком коротким.
Maestro Giacomini! What a voice 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I knew Hvorostovski and Norman were outstanding singers. But Giacomini was the surprise. Turridu was one of the most important characters, one of the foundations of the opera. I only had seen videos of him in concerts and recitals. I thought he was talented in those videos, but to see him as Turridu here made me realize he could have been one of the great ones. He could have been successfully cast as a Pinkerton, a Rodolfo, a Calaf. And more. I wish I had a video of this whole performance.
Shirley Rombough There is no video but there is an audio recording:

12:44 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that scream.... the drama.... so good
🦅
How I would have loved to see this cast in this one of my favorite operas.
Attended her recital in Melbourne many years ago. Not only a magnificent voice but incredible stage presence.
What an absolute treasure! Thank you so much!
Three absolutely fantastic singers...they have so much to teach the younger generation...unforgettable 😪👏🏼👏🏼❤
Jessye Norman and Verdi, she sung this music like no other.
Wish she'd sung more from this composer.
So good!!!!!
this is by Mascagni.
God gracious! How fabulous everything.
Wonderful
thank you so much for posting! Amazing to hear the young Dimi's voice, strong, before it deepened, and, of course, the incomparable Jessye Norman! wonderful to watch them recording! Bravo!
I did not know this recording. Bravissimi tutti!
It's insane that both are gone.
And now we have to add Giacomini. Very sad🌹
What a great cast! Bravo!
Gracias! Este video es una joya invaluable por su alta calidad.
Mis respetos a tres GRANDES💖💝
Que time fortíssimo de cantores que escolheram para essa gravação!!!!!!!!
I went to a concert of Jessye Norman in Ediinburg😊 such a beautiful voice
unfortunatly I started coughing and I had to go in rhe corridor to listen to the end
What an incredible energy she channeled. Such commitment. May I and all those wishing learn to operate at this level of passion.

voci straordinarie!
🎼😥😪😥 💝 ergreifende cavalleria 😳 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 👌🏆💐
Dimitri young!
Jessye Norman was a magnificent soprano. Her death was such a loss to the music and opera world.;
Wow! Absolutely wonderful, truly a great gem 💎 thank you for finding this little piece of history very much appreciated 😘
Glad you enjoyed it
Потрясающие музыканты.! Получаешь истинное наслаждение.
Bravi !!!! Grazie mille !!!!
Sie ist "Mutter Erde" des Gesanges, nie kann ich sie vergessen!!!
Giacomini is extraordinary here. Model singing for this repertoire and a recording that needs no enhancement.
divina!!!
Wybitni artyści powinni być nieśmiertelni, by swoim głosem cieszyć kolejne pokolenia. Ta trójka: Norman, Chworostowski, Giacomini to najlepsze karty w historii opery. Ciężko bedzie ich zastąpić
What an interesting cast. I love to see these three together, each coloring his or her performance with their own individuality. I would have loved to see this performance in person. Now we are bereft of maybe all three. Is Giacomini still alive? But probably not still singing. But what a Cavalleria they must have made.
Giuseppe Giacomini is still alive -- 80 years old this past September. Is he still singing? Domingo is 4 months younger and is still performing, so it's possible I suppose.
This cast was assembled specifically for this recording. Often, repertoire is recorded following rehearsals and performances. Record companies then swoop in and record what is "ready-made" without having to pay for the preparatory work. In this case, Jessye Norman and Dmitri Hvorostovsky had never previously sung these roles, and learned them specifically for this project. I don't know if this is also the case with Giacomini.
Commercial initiatives like this are a gamble, like planning to catch lightning in a bottle.
@@caramelorb - Thank you for the information. I didn't know Placido was almost 80. I saw him on a You Tube performance in La Traviata as Alfredo's father. It might have been 4 years ago. He looked and sounded great. It seemed to me that the producers of this Cavalleria caught the lightening in the bottle. I would love to buy a recording of this performance. Bravos all around.
@@caramelorb thank you for that information!
Giacomini!!! Bepi should be in the description.
Thanks for your comment. I've now added the cast.
Jessie’s recording of Strauss’s Four Last Songs has no equal…it transports me to another realm
Hearing her do it live in Salt Lake was one of the key moments of my life!
Only flagstad could equal it..
I saw Jessie Norman a few times at Carnegie hall a few times. I was
never a fan of her repertoire.
🖤So Charming.....🇻🇨🇻🇨✍🏿
Cheveux grisonnants et beauté naturelle.....voilà DIMI
fabuleux.
Dina looked like a boy there, but what a voice! Such confidence.
I meant Dima of course
Благодарю Дима! Помним, любим, смотрим!
Beautiful.

Brava Jessye!!!!!!
Обаятельная девушка рядомс Дмитрием его первая жена, Светлана Александровна, мама близняшек
I’d pay just to sit in on the rehearsal! 😅
Bene SOLO Giacomini
😍😍😍😍😍
Jessye Norman dans Santuzza!! C'est pas possible! Elle est beaucoup trop sophistiquée et intellectuelle pour ce rôle. On y croit pas une seconde
I think she adds depth to the role. We don't know what lies Santuzza had to tell herself to continue with Turridu. And, pushed to her limit, she scr3eamed the famous curse.
Michel Klein: You’re an ass. The majority of women singing Santuzza are sophisticated and intelligent. She’s just performing a role.
Wao, La Lola la hizo la Colombiana Marta Senn.
Dramatic voice Mss. Norman.
Si è vero che sono situazioni che di possono incontrare tutti i giorni ma Lei forse non può capire cosa vuol dire quella situazione in Sicilia e in quel periodo....
“And it is something that one finds in life everyday.” Aw 🥹💔
All were still alive, young and well.
Martha Senn is Lola
Three wonderful singers in their prime!
Don’t like that Norman conducts her performance for the conductor though. Imagine if the conductor was a Toscanini or Mascagni! Whew! Star power I guess….
Alli esta Marha Senn
Wonderful!!!! Just a little something. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Jessye Norman with all of my heart, but for me the singing approach is a bit too clean. BEAUTIFUL.....but just a little too neat and clean.
I agree. I adore Jessye as well but her singing wasn't idiomatic in this.
Yes, quite well noted. She is still a Goddess in the German rep! :D
Well, if this is too “neat and clean” then try the Scotto/Levine, Tebaldi/Erede, Callas or Simionato with Serafin recordings among many others. But there are many people who love great singing to enjoy this recording.
Moi,je t’adore.
Сач а воисе деар Норма
Giacomini se le mangia gli altri due. Norman completamente fuori ruolo.
Il colore è bellissimo ma la dizione non rende la drammaticità di Santuzza
Funny that Beppe is a minor character for this documentary.
I love all three artists, but Norman's Santuzza was just as much off the mark as her Salome. Her voice and style just didn't sit right with Italian opera, and especially with the kind of unbridled passion Santuzza needs.
Dimitri sounds like a tenor singing next to Giacomini.
you need your ears checked
Norman avait la voix et technique le moins italiennes possible. Le russe et granitique. Le chœur n'est pas très bon.
Jessye was no Santuzza, or Carmen for that matter. She was more suited for legendary, grandiose, noble characters (Ariadne, Cassandre, Phaedra, Dido/Didon), not realistic, verismo types. She over-enunciates like a proper British lady, she just doesn’t get down and lets loose. See how she throws out the line “A te la mala pasqua.” Do you believe her?
Young DH had quite a pleasant voice. Unfortunately it went downhill quite early, becoming husky and weak. He was a heavy smoker I believe
When you listen to this recording, you clearly understand who is really great and who is just a promoted name in the opera. Against the background of Giacomini, they are both children with lyrical voices not suitable for this opera.
Jessye Norman, a lyrical voice lol. Ok
As if a lyrical voice could ever be heard in Wagner, which she was famous for.
Just because she wasn’t pounding the hell out of her voice like Giacomini, who was singing way too damn loud the entire time, doesn’t mean she didn’t have a great big voice.
This is a recording session, not a theater. He was singing as if he was on stage, and she was singing while conscious of the fact that she was in a recording studio with a mic close to her that would pick up her voice even if she’s singing at a lower volume. Thus, there was no need for her to be going full voice for no reason, especially if she had several performances lined up that week. It’s called singing smart and taking care of your instrument.
Y’all need to stop making stupid statements when you don’t know what you’re talking about.
