This is FANTASTIC singing. No thickness, no distorted vowels, totally chiaroscuro, "covered" in the right places. NO ONE is singing like this now. Not by a LONG shot.
Protti was a great interpreter. He knew how to thrust the voice out to the audience. Something that is greatly missing today. Notice how he opens up many of his vowels. He achieves great ring and anchors the voice in the chest. This is exciting singing. A real Baritono Verdiano and Verissmo.
Questa si chiama tecnica italiana. Quella vera che permetteva ai cantanti di cantare per anni e anni senza dannegiare l'organo vocale. Cero occorrevano anni di studio ad un alievo prima di essere pronto ma poi si poteva considerare un vero professionista.
One of my favorite singers. It's a pity that to much attention is payd to one singers(Pavarotti, Caballe, Domingo) ad such a Masters like Protti, Hines.. are practically unknown

Quei bastardi estremisti di sinistra hanno piu volte distrutto la targa che commemora Aldo Protti a Cremona, Aldo Protti ha interpretato 425 volte Rigoletto e vanta ben 380 recite al prestigioso Viener Staatsoper.
Enfin, musicalement, à lexception du dernier "a" de "amor", la voix soliste et l'orchestre sont parfaitement synchrones (qualité relativement rare, dans du "vérisme", aux expansions, allargando, ritenuto et/ou ritardando aléatoires). Magnifique ! Un exemple à suivre !
@bodiloto Mon cher Nicola,tu sais que je ne suis plus un enfant et que j'arrive encore à entendre correctement. Je trouve le timbre de Bellantoni somptueux,ainsi que sa ligne de chant,dans un enregistrement de 1910! Il m'est difficile de ne pas entendre les qualités ou les défauts dans une prise de son de 1961!Tu sais pourtant que mes oreilles ne peuvent me trahir à ce point... Je t'embrasse,mon grand et très cher ami. Mitia.
Never a star but the best of the second tier baritones. He has a really well produced and focused voice. His problem may have been he stature. He looks to be only about 5'2" in many of his TH-cam videos. I like him so much better than Juan Pons, Thomas Hampson, or Carlo Guelfi. Most of the time I have little patience for those who over praise past singers. But not this time.
I don't think that it's a question of living in the past. We have to admit that the singers of today can not compare in point of view of vocal production with the ones of the past. There are not a lot of true maestri of singing and we can hear the results when we campare the glorious singing past and the present.
Ici, ce n'est peut-être pas forcément la voix du siècle, quoique le timbre est fort beau.
Nonobstant ce qui précède, il convient néanmoins de relever la remarquable maîtrise technique de l'émission vocale, ainsi que celle de la gestion optimale du souffle (le fameux "appoggio"), le tout allié à une qualité de diction et de prononciation italienne absolument exemplaire.
Ici, les i sont vraiment des i, les ou ressemblent à de vrais ou (et non des ô, voire carrément des o ouverts, comme cest trop souvent le cas chez certains interprètes... et non des moindres), en sus de toutes les consonnes & double consonnes, égrenées avec brio, pour la joie de lauditeur, lequel peut enfin comprendre le texte issu de sa propre langue, sans devoir implicitement recourir, pour autant, à déventuels subterfuges annexes, destinés à asseoir la compréhension du texte.
Demasiada intensidad constante, no hay contrastes, la voz luce excelente, pero la interpretación no es artísticamente la mejor. El personaje interpretado con este canto intenso, parece neurótico y desquiciado. Carece de momentos reposado de reflexión y añoranza o arrepentimiento. Cómo ejercicio vocal está muy bien.
I'm surprised he didn't modulate his voice more for this. But ,perhaps the theatre's acoustics gave him difficulties in sensing his volume. I've heard singers who performed in the old Met make that complaint. Both his Otello recordings for Decca were fully nuanced and always made more of an impression on me than Toto Gobbi. His approach was more aggressive but still gave pleasure.
@abacradabranque- Peux-tu nous donner un autre example qui soit aux antipodes de cet extrait et qui ne date pas d'avant la naissance de l'enregistrement électronique ? Et en même temps, un lien vers l'enregistrement dont tu parles ? Autre question : Lorsqu'un soulève la voix, cela se manifeste dans quelle(s) partie(s) du corps?
A "tour de force" of acting and singing despite the passage of the years. He really means it, dosen't he. But it's not the the most beautiful baritone sound Iv'e heard.
@bodiloto Si je te parle de Bellantoni précisément,c'est qu'ils sont aux antipodes l'un de l'autre dans la façon de chanter.Le premier est élégant,souple,rond,il soulève la voix.Le second est plat,pousse la voix devant,et n'a aucune noblesse, ni dans le timbre,ni dans la manière de s'en servir.Tout ce que je n'aime pas,et tu m'obliges à le réécouter pour te fournir un argument construit,c'est dur!!! Loin de moi l'envie de te décevoir,mon grand frère,cependant je me dois d'être honnête. Mitia
Although I like the balance in his voice, he seems to be forte the whole way through. This song is a big, fantastic song, but it needs it's dynamic contrast. Otherwise it seems like you're blasting.
Hello zs1968. Don't you think that the fact that my rather innocent comment is marked with too many negative votes, sort of proves my point. For me singing is not a contest anyway, Personally I listen a lot to past singers, but it is real easy to overrate them because of a general tendency of people to glorify the past. Ask any old geezer and you'll know what I mean.
Voce stupenda ed emissione impeccabile, ma se posso permettermi interpretazione monotona, tutta fortissimo, per me ci vorrebbe molta più varietà per dare rilievo psicologico al personaggio (Cappuccilli docet).
Please just listen to the Late Bastianini for a perfect interpretation of this aria ,this Protti has a ACID voice ,are you people deaf ? He is Italian ,jet his diction and phrasing is disgusting and out of plce ,Please look elsewhere for your enjoyment Grazie Gino
Maddalena, - you are entitled to your personal opinion of Protti's timbre & phrasing, - but not to TELL other people what or who they should enjoy. You are NOT the arbiter of taste & quality for anybody but yourself. To accuse others of being deaf because they enjoy listening to someone you dislike, only speaks to your inability to listen objectively.
This is FANTASTIC singing. No thickness, no distorted vowels, totally chiaroscuro, "covered" in the right places. NO ONE is singing like this now. Not by a LONG shot.
Erenesto Petti is!
@@xxsaruman82xx87 Cool guy, but there are questions! Microphones, cameras allways suck!
@@jimmychoo1857 ?
Aldo Protti forse l ´ultimo dei grandi,
Ettore Bastianini e Aldo Protti,immensi.
Una voce chiara, limpida, riconoscibile, forte e misurata. Mi sembra di aver sentito diverse volte questo baritono a Cagliari, dove era solito venire.

Grande Protti, voce centrata, interpretazione drammatica perfetta, il piu' grande di tutti.
Artista immenso. Interpretazione ineguagliabile
Aldo Protti war wohl der beste Rigoletto!
Прекрасно! Настоящий темный и звонкий тон, не жирный, не болтающийся! Спето идеально

Andavano a lezione tutti i giorni in conservatorio....TUTTI I SANTI GIORNI lezione di canto.
Bravissimo
voce potente e virile.....tecnica solida bravissimo.......ad avercene di baritoni cosi'....
Immense artiste. Emission percutante, jamais grossie. Grande tradition italienne.
Aldo Protti, der wohl bedeutendste Italo- Bariton aller Zeiten!
Wow! This is a singing lesson. Grande 💜💛💚💙 whoever doesn't like this , has no clue of vocal technique whatsoever....
Immensa voce!!!
Many years ago I heard him in Vienna and his Rigoletto was riveting.
So grand, what a great baritone!!!
@Barone Vitellio Scarpia That is a great one. New to me. Appreciated,
One of my favorite singers. It's a pity that to much attention is payd to one singers(Pavarotti, Caballe, Domingo) ad such a Masters like Protti, Hines.. are practically unknown
3 tenors, that is the worst.
@@道-p2e No, they are great artists.....but Giacomini, Kraus, Cecchele, Shicoff, Gedda....to mention a few...are also great....

A wonderful technique and a fine stage presence.
A REAL baritone singing on stage for the audience and at light years distance from ANY baritone of today
True....
Sadly…
Meraviglioso
Brilliant.
Stunning! 😃👍👏👏👏
wo sind sie geblieben die vielen tollen italiener?- in heutiger zeit?
Una delle voci più belle e possenti mai sentite in teatro, dotata di tecnica perfetta e persona simpaticissima e umana.
Quei bastardi estremisti di sinistra hanno piu volte distrutto la targa che commemora Aldo Protti a Cremona, Aldo Protti ha interpretato 425 volte Rigoletto e vanta ben 380 recite al prestigioso Viener Staatsoper.
BRAVISSIMO!!!!!!
4:06 WOW!!!! Bravissimo!!!!!!!!
@Barone Vitellio Scarpia I love both! The one you sent me has darker high notes.
@@eternalmariacallas2283 I prefer Bastianini.
Enfin, musicalement, à lexception du dernier "a" de "amor", la voix soliste et l'orchestre sont parfaitement synchrones (qualité relativement rare, dans du "vérisme", aux expansions, allargando, ritenuto et/ou ritardando aléatoires).
Magnifique !
Un exemple à suivre !
Sono giapponese cantante. Protti è un mio ideale.
Splendidissimo!!!!!!Stupendo!!!!

superbo!!

Compare with Sereni's famous cut of this and you'll see there's no comparison.
What do you mean OVER praise?
@@Jaybeard Sereni..had an attractive voice..but he would only be overtone in Prottis voice
@jwdietsch1 His acting s really first class. The small dcetails of dipping the quill in the ink.

Shaky recording, but you can still recognise the quality of of Protti's singing. He was a great Iago too.

so true, and so sad.

@jwdietsch1 well said
Why didn't the orchestra ritard with him at the end?
4:32 yeah!!! Why not? They just go ahead before him at then he has to rush his “amore”
I thought it was DelMonaco for a second. hahah
