Ma perché queste raccolte vengono sempre interpretate come gare?! Godiamoci queste voci che non abbiamo avuto occasione di ascoltare dal vivo, noi che ci siam persi la golden age Thank you very much Opera for your great and wonderful work
Tutti grandi interpreti ma per me il più completo è il Magnifico Franco Corelli! Suscita emozioni che altri non provocano anche se bravi. E poi voce e fiato da extraterrestre! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Pavarotti did not have a spinto sound, that would be Lauri Volpi. The problem is when it comes to recordings of lyric tenors, is that their voices are studio amplified a lot in this type of material. Spinto tenors should have loads of squillo. Pavarotti had squillo, but not close to enough to be a spinto. Spintos have loud voices. Pavarotti's voice was not that loud, it as lyric tenor sized.
@@atizaries5512 well i did say he had a spinto sound , not a voice type. And he clearly did. His Calaf was not bad, although did lack of the weight for that role. To compare anyone to Franco Corelli is always a disservice to that person. But i do agree that Pavarotti, probably, shouldn’t have taken that role. But all in all Pavarotti had a beautiful voice and had a little bit of spinto in his voice.
@@gr__mskI think Mario Del Monaco, Enrico Caruso, and Lauri Volpi had the best techniques. Corelli, who’s also a favorite of mine, had one technical issue (scooping) which wasn’t good for his voice. But he managed to put out so much beautiful music that most don’t notice the scooping. But it does hurt the singer to not be quite up in the chest before approaching the high notes. The throat takes more of the tension rather than the ribs and lungs. But I love his singing, so I ignore it, and let my teacher yell at me about my scooping.😂
Franco Corelli is by far the stand out, this aria shows more of the unique qualities of his voice, his voluptuous rich, lower notes. This is the problem with this comparison, it is all of low notes in this aria that makes interesting to hear, not necessarily the one big higher note. Joseph Schmidt’s voice also sounded more unique then the others, he had good lower notes for such light voice. Lauri Volpi did a great version, after him I would rank Mario Del Monaco. Vernetti was great as well, I have never heard his version. There were two very bad versions at the end, one unfortunately from Richard Tauber, whom I quite often enjoy a lot. But he did some very bad singing there, by only using open notes.
Where is Sandor Konya His “ non piangere Liu” is very unique and full of emotions He deserves to be in your listings U Tube has multiple examples Listen to his Manon Lescsut “ Donna non vidi mai” Lohengrin” Nun sei bedankt” All on U Tube JMHO 😉
Tauber is the best. His singing is even, pure and clear throughout this piece of musical art. He is balanced, composed. It is a song that requires restraint and power. Tauber achieved that delicate balance for this song.
I didn't know GT sang this aria. He overwhelmed the archaic microphone. Lol. GG, MDM and HR sang amazingly. Although, in my opinion FC reigns supereme as Calaf.
My favorite is Tucker's, but of the ones included here I like Schmitt. Tucker just rides the wave of the orchestra in a way I don't hear many of these guys do effectively.
Tutti 10 e lode. L' unico cui aggiungerei la menzione speciale (gusto personale?) è Pertile. Se la pelle d' oca è un termometro di emotività, bene Lui è l unico a farmela venire
) В соревновании нет смысла, поскольку есть только один настоящий принц Калаф - это Corelli и только Corelli, соответственно ему все места, с 1 по 26 )
Corelli è Calaf!!! Lauri-Volpi ha l'espressione giusta delle parole N1...mi piace anche Del Monaco,grande Calaf fino al 1950!!!...poi stupendo Pertile,che cantava benissimo tutto!!!!!
Why do these compilations never include Richard Tucker? He was an extraordinary tenor, one of the best in the world. Corelli and Del Monaco shone here and Tucker would have equaled them. B flats aside or no, I was surprised at the poor showing of some of these.
This is Corelli's opera (although this recording seems to be pitched too high). But where is Bjorling? I'd still vote for Corelli in this role, but Bjorling can't be discounted.
Martinelli was amazing in these performances at Covent Garden in 1937 it was recorded live with Both Favero and Albanese on different nights, but it was known in Britain that Martinelli was actually born in 1880 and not 1885, many singers knew this, his great friend and Colleague Aureliano Pertile certainly knew he was born in 1880 in Montagnana he knew Martinelli was Older so did Gigli Schipa and Lauri Volpi who always made a deal out of it, at 57 Martinelli sang very well indeed, my Father actually interviewed him twice for an Opera Magazine and he always smiled, Turandot was an Opera that should have been done at the Met for Martinelli, he was the first in 1921 on a visit to see Puccini with Toscanini to actually sing Nessun Dorma with Puccini at the Piano, it was agreed he would create the roll and Toscanini agreed, but of course Gatti Cassaza at the MET refused to leave him go to La Scala, Martinelli's friend the Spaniard Miguel Fleta took the roll. It was Martinelli's singing of Calaf along with Eva Turner as Turandot that made the Opera a success in London before this it was not Popular, even later in the 40's and 50's many yearned for the Past, certainly it was a opera that needs to be sung and acted.
Fleta ha fatto soltanto le prime cinque recite, sostituendo LauriVolpi, per il quale Puccini aveva scritto la parte e che Toscanini non volle, causa vecchi rancori... Fleta non ha inciso nessuna nota di Turandot, purtroppo !
Amazing voices! What a wonderful selection! But I am team Corelli forever.
Ma perché queste raccolte vengono sempre interpretate come gare?!
Godiamoci queste voci che non abbiamo avuto occasione di ascoltare dal vivo, noi che ci siam persi la golden age
Thank you very much Opera for your great and wonderful work
Domingo, Verona 1975. Absolutely one of the best.
oh, so viel Arbeit! Danke und Gratulation!
Tutti grandi interpreti ma per me il più completo è il Magnifico Franco Corelli! Suscita emozioni che altri non provocano anche se bravi. E poi voce e fiato da extraterrestre!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
aber wie=sehr treffend
So many greats. Only one Corelli.
There are so many fascinating ones here. Bravi. But then there was Corelli ,who simply owned this part.
Lots of brilliant tenors here. I wonder how they would all sound if they used similar recording technology, which would make the comparison fairer!
Gracias, aportan una gran enseñanza y educa el oido.
Bravo, Pertile!
One of the most plangent of "arias", bringing out the best in all ...
Man i just love Pavarotti's spinto sound here. Beautiful.
Pavarotti did not have a spinto sound, that would be Lauri Volpi. The problem is when it comes to recordings of lyric tenors, is that their voices are studio amplified a lot in this type of material. Spinto tenors should have loads of squillo. Pavarotti had squillo, but not close to enough to be a spinto. Spintos have loud voices. Pavarotti's voice was not that loud, it as lyric tenor sized.
Pavarotti was a lyric tenor, not spinto, He shouldn"t have dared sing Nessun Dorma, after Franco Corelli.

Didn't expect that much from Valente , never heard of him before and I'm not a random listener. He definitely had the quality of a great tenor .
His Nessun dorma is also great. He was a great tenor.
CORELLI is the only Callaf Mestro Puccini had. In mind!!!❤
Pertile is gorgeous as well 😊
Hard to choose. So many great singers in the past and so few today.
So true.
Todays best Calaf for me is Martin Muehle .
Luckily saw him in this role live in House.
Corelli of course! Corelli and Lauri Volpi have the greatest vocal technique out of all tenors!

Hermoso
А интересно услышать и сравнить, как пели в начале века , в середине и позже! Спасибо!!!
Спасибо за ваш красивый комментарий. Приятного просмотра.
Ma scherziamo o cosa?Il grande Corelli è fulgido esempio di Calaf.Ineguagliato e temo ineguagliabile.
Maestro Nicola Martinucci is still alive… 😢
1)Corelli 2)Barioni 3)Di Stefano 4)Granda 5)Schmidt
Where is Sandor Konya
His “ non piangere Liu” is very unique and full of emotions
He deserves to be in your listings
U Tube has multiple examples
Listen to his Manon Lescsut “ Donna non vidi mai”
Lohengrin” Nun sei bedankt”
All on U Tube
JMHO
😉
Where is Björling? His version is breathtakingly beautiful!
Tutti bravi ma per me Corelli,Pertile , Barioni su tutti.
While I agree, they all are magnificent in their own ways. Nobody sings like that now.
@@johanneskreisler7647yes 👍
Tauber is the best. His singing is even, pure and clear throughout this piece of musical art. He is balanced, composed. It is a song that requires restraint and power. Tauber achieved that delicate balance for this song.
The most beautiful version and sung with most emotion is Joseph scmidth but all are great
I didn't know GT sang this aria. He overwhelmed the archaic microphone. Lol. GG, MDM and HR sang amazingly. Although, in my opinion FC reigns supereme as Calaf.
For me the best is Mario del Monaco:)
My favorite is Tucker's, but of the ones included here I like Schmitt. Tucker just rides the wave of the orchestra in a way I don't hear many of these guys do effectively.

Pertile è davvero un bravo artista. Uno dei tenori che amo ascoltare.
❤❤❤😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉
The great maestro Franco Corelli,the best Calaf ever
Corelli, Corelli y Corelli

В соревновании нет смысла, поскольку есть только один настоящий принц Калаф - это Corelli и только Corelli, соответственно ему все места, с 1 по 26 )
Antonio Cortis 🔥
Yes
Jeez, Masini wasn't screwing around...lol
Nicola Martinucci 👍
Di Stefano
Schmidt
Tauber
Corelli
Pertile
Pavarotti
Nessun dubbio Franco Corelli su tutti e non di poco
manca the best Franco Corelli
Corelli , he is a born Calaf , maestro Puccini would have chosen him !❤
The singers brilliant ring in there voices appeal more to me. Granda, Ziliani, Vernetti, Schmidt and Corelli.
Del monaco ❤️👑
Corelli, Corelli, Corelli. Absolutely.
Corelli è Calaf!!!
Lauri-Volpi ha l'espressione giusta delle parole N1...mi piace anche Del Monaco,grande Calaf fino al 1950!!!...poi stupendo Pertile,che cantava benissimo tutto!!!!!
Falta Fleta, Lázaro, Domingo Carreras Aragall, Pedro Lavirgen!!! Está incompletoooo!!!

1. ALESSANDRO GRANDA
2. ANTONIO CORTIS
3. PERTILE
4. DI STEFANO
5. CORELLI
This is Corelli's opera (although this recording seems to be pitched too high). But where is Bjorling? I'd still vote for Corelli in this role, but Bjorling can't be discounted.
In my opinion it’s Corelli by a mile.
Alessandro Granda died in 1962. Thanks
Thanks for information 😊
Calaf=Corelli=Calaf

Lauri Volpi and Franco Corelli are the best ones IMHO.
Ma il primo Calaf, Miguel Fleta
Fleta ha fatto soltanto le prime cinque recite, sostituendo LauriVolpi, per il quale Puccini aveva scritto la parte e che Toscanini non volle, causa vecchi rancori... Fleta non ha inciso nessuna nota di Turandot, purtroppo !
Galliaono Masini ᆢ ^^
Just about an hour ago, I was singing this aria to myself in the shower, and now you've uploaded this video. Amazing!
Coincidence :)
