I’ve never cared for opera singers who just rely on thunderous notes. But I have to admit that Del Monaco’s cries of “Wälse” are truly incredible. I ran out of breath just by listening!
His voice is SO perfect for the Wagnerian repertoire. His voice is so strong and powerful that he does not have to "work" to produce volume. He can therefore also sing lyrically where many heldentenors are just forcing to try and be heard. His dark but still tenory tone perfectly suits the range and tessitura of the Wagnerian roles. Yes, his German is not the best, but he grew up at a time when Wagner operas were performed in Italy in Italian (and Verdi operas performed in German in Germany)
Just as I was thinking about Mario del Monaco being a helden-tenor before listening to this and not a Calaf. His top tone was too short in that one. Not either "Si puo". He was not a baritone but a heavy, dark tenor. He could as well have two Wagner orchestras behind him. Any singer would envy this volume and that sostenuto! Magnificent!
Non mi stanco mai di ascoltarlo.mi riempie di energia la sua voce.altro che medicina.....la voce la voce vera è l'energia trasmessa come una TRASFUSIONE
How can anyone quibble with Del Monaco in this section? It a heartfelt rendition by an honest, refined artist. He was steeped in the Italian tradition but remember, there were no “Wagnerian” singers during Wagner’s time. Most of the singers had Italian training then. Imagine the foremost singer of his time, late in his career, experimenting with a different repertoire and tradition. It was brave of him and says so much about his personality. He believed the leap was too radical. But he tried. He will always be remembered as one of the handful of great singers Of the post-WWII golden age, and a major force of the Twentieth Century. I was fortunate to heard him live late in his career in a concert at Carnegie Hall and Otello in Philadelphia. He left an indelible mark on me.
Each artist is unique, for talent, genius, study, but few are rare, Mario Del Monaco is unique and rare at the same time, exceptionally pure timbre, immense and infinite vocality, fantastic breath and without any effort, incredible live and attentive interpretation, crazy sound depth, it seems that every note comes out of a different musical instrument, it will remain in the past, in the present, in the future, indelibly, it is always a pleasure and a privilege to listen to it. Ogni artista è unico, per talento, genio, studio, ma pochi sono rari, Mario Del Monaco è unico e raro nello stesso tempo, timbro eccezzionalmente puro, vocalità immensa e infinita, respiro fantastico e senza alcun sforzo, interpretazione incredibile viva e attenta, profondità del suono pazzesca, sembra che ogni nota esca da uno strumento musicale diverso, resterà nel passato, nel presente, nel futuro, in modo indelebile, è sempre un piacere e un privilegio ascoltarlo.
Sono d'accordo con il suo commento...se ascoltiamo i pezzi staccati registrati nei primi anni del 1950 possiamo affermare con certezza che Wagner avrebbe avuto in Del Monaco un interprete di prim'ordine...peccato per la scelta diversa di questo grande interprete!!! saluti
I disagree. He was a great singer. But he's not a great Wagnerian singer. I think he was right not to do more Wagner. He may have sounded a bit better if he focused on Wagner, but I worry that he might have had a shorter career.
He was entirely right to avoid Wagner, as he himself knew well. In spite of his magnificent performance above, his was a genuinely Italianate production and sound,. Although he was often called, back in the day, an Italian Heldentenor, he himself knew the necessity of turning down the huge fees he would have been offered to sing, for example, a Tristan, in favor of retaining the opportunity for a long career.
Del Monaco was one the greatest ever heldentenors!!!, he really delivers one of the best ever redemptions of this extraordinary aria by Wagner (Die Walküre is my favorite of the tetralogy).Thank you very much for sharing!!! BRAVOOO!!!!!!!!
He sounds like a baritone! My God! I've never heard such a beautiful Heldentenor- aside from the one and only Melchior of course. Who cares that you can't understand a word, we've got surtitles nowadays anyways...
Commentate pure a favore o contrario a questo tenore, ma una cosa è assolutamente vera: una voce del genere, dopo aver cantato in quell'epoca , più di 190 Aida, 230 Andrea Chenier, 400 Otello, ecc. trent'anni di carriera, credo non abbia riscontri in nessun altro cantante lirico, di questo mondo, per di più la voce è ferma e limpida, a parte qualche suono fuori dall'interno, ma sempre con un autocontrollo esemplare. un saluto
@@EJR3MDM se sei d'accordo penso che Del Monaco abbia sempre avuto il massimo rispetto del pubblico e di chi lo stimava , di riflesso si sentiva non in dovere ma pronto ad ogni occasione nel esibirsi come in segno di gratitudine, fino a quando la sua malattia non ha preso il sopravvento .artisti di questo calibro sono solo da applaudire e prenderli come insegnamento non solo per il grande spettacolo che ci hanno regalato ,ma prima di tutto da loro si impara a crescere e diventare uomini
+Sensitivo Uditivo Well, first thank you for your interest in "tenors Saxons", but I have to clarify to you that I am Brazilian with Italian last name and do not speak Italian, so do not know qualify a tenor with such perfection. To speak truth with you, I love classical music and singers and lyrical singers, but not deeply know singers. The question of Mario del Monaco is because since childhood I listened to my father and so I started to like deeply, for this reason, but I think if done a Google search for the phrase "Singers tenor" is very likely to appear this names.But I reaffirm that would not know a say in the perfect pronunciation of these singers. I apologize for not knowing inform with this precision. Big hug and thank you for visiting my and you have a good taste in music. Kind regards.
+Sensitivo Uditivo, no problem and everything is fine, now I would like you to know that I'm developing a translator and that the page is already in the air, precariously and still only 25 sentences, but I believe that within 02 (two weeks ), I'm going up a new database, with 30 languages and about 60,000 translated phrases including the Italian language, because I have some special friends in Italy, like you, then click this address: www.unifrases.com And see how is, then the difference will be huge, because my translator is different from others because the sentences already go to the Bank of translated data, and errors are much smaller. I'll let you use for free. Thank you very much for your attention. Big hug. Jonathan Gagliardi Madeira.
@@Vogeln I don't know German but I know when it happens for stranger singers which doent know italian and it's terrible too... to know the language is a must...
I speak perfect German. I have some level of difficulty understanding him but as far as I know Mario Del Monaco ended his career and retired in Austria so he did speak German. His son was born and raised in Austria and he speaks perfect German. I saw his son in a documentary here on TH-cam.
Vallo a dire a questa massa di deficienti..È la fine del mondo..Non riconoscere eccezionalità nella vocalità di DEL MONACO la lirica è proprio finita...andate ad ascoltare i vostri cantanti da teatro odierno.
Alessandro Moccia Non la riconoscono perché non hanno idea di come poter riuscire a far emettere a qualche cantante anche solo una nota cantata in quel modo. Oltretutto cantava così a 54 anni e sappiamo tutti cosa era prima. Roba che nemmeno se esistesse il doping vocale, riuscirebbero a riproporlo oggi un canto simile all’ordine del giorno. Scusate questa affermazione ma la lirica oggi non riconosce il miracolo vocale di Del Monaco come gli ebrei non hanno riconosciuto Gesù Cristo. Perché? Perché fa comodo così.
Bravissimi Alessandro ed Einar,. Che Dio vi benedica per la verità e la passione che mettete nelle vostre parole! La cattiveria e l idiozia che dilagano senza motivo, solo per colpire con tanta asprezza chi non c'è più, andrebbe ignorata, ma è impossibile non ribellarsi e vi ringrazio per averlo fatto anche per me!
Talk about busting a gut....the pace the conductor is taking is so slow that snails are whizzing past him. I doubt if even Melchior would have enough wind to get through it at this tempo. My God. The performance is probably STILL going on...
expression and presence of a hero has just born, show me anybody, come on, Vinay Melchior, Windgassen I am going through to check my own point, MDM is just great
I prefer Vickers as Siegmund over anyone. There's just something about his lyricism that does it for me. But del Monaco is amazing here, there's also a phenomenal In fernem Land of his.
Love Del Monaco and his incredible instrument! He sounds very good in the beginning portion of the aria but struggles with the lower register at the end. His Wälse! Wälse! is unbelievable though!
So many spinto tenors who sing Wagner always sing the roles of Siegmund, Parsifal, and Lohengrin. These tenor roles are for real heldentenors. Mario Del Monaco is a true dramatic tenor who has that quality of a heldentenor but was more of an Italian dramatic tenor than a Wagnerian heldentenor but however had to sing Wagner's songs anyway. The range of a full spinto tenor goes from (C3 - B4) or tenor low C to high B. A dramatic tenor would have the same range (C3 - B4) but they would extend down to his low extremes (A2 - B2) and up to high extremes (C5 - D5). Not as many true dramatic tenors make those coveted high D's like the high lying tenors (lyric tenor and leggero tenor) or extend down to low A's in the low parts of a high baritone ( character baritone and lyric baritone). Most dramatic tenors make great high C's in performance but not in as many roles that require such high notes unlike the spinto tenors. A heldentenor would have the range be low B to high A (B2 - A4) with a low baritone extension to G's and A's (G2 - A2) as well as an easy ability to explore a high tenor extension up to B's and C's (B4 - C5). Most heldentenors rarely sing those baritone low G's and tenor high C's in performance. Most of the heldentenor repretoire lies from low C to high A (C3 - A4).
Mio Dio! This is the sloooooooooooooooooooooooooowest version of this aria I've ever heard! If this conductor wants to kill Siegmund before the end of Act 2 he's certainly doing what he can to make that happen! Only Mario's greatness will keep that from taking place. Plus, the conductor is sapping so much of the energy out of this masterpiece of an aria by doing so and is fighting Mario as Mario is trying to push a faster tempo. Despite that......Bravo Tenore!
PEccato che MDM si sia avvicinato a Wagner solo in carriera avanzata, perchè le incisioni del 1957 in un concerto non hanno eguali e qualsiasi grande interprete Wagneriano ne rimarebbe sconcertato. Parlo di quattro arie da Lohengrin, e Walkiria assolutamente belle e ripeto senza eguali. ascoltatele . un saluto
Woah!!! Even allowing for that thick Italian accent, Del Monaco is AMAZING!!!! Jonas Kaufmann isn't quite in that class yet, but he's getting there fast. And he's the only one i can think of who could come close.
+Maven Whitlock I love Kaufmann and he may get there some day, but Del Monaco was simply the greatest dramatic tenor of the 20th century. And he was all out every night. BTW, check out (here on youtube) Del Monaco and Ramon Vinay in a performance of Verdi's Otello in Dallas Texas (!) in 1962. It's the duet Si Piel Ciel (MDM is Otello and RV is Iago). It's just audio and the sound isn't the greatest (attenuated at MDM's high notes), but it took my breath away. Vinay ruled as Otello for years before MDM came along.
...to compare a friendly housecat to a lion....MDM is unique, despite his German. With that voice and dramatic expression, he could have sung it in Chinese...
SacredTemplar8 , Del Monaco ist hier nicht mal der Fiat, das ist einfach fürchterlich, bei Kaufmann ist es ein Genuss, bei MDM zerrt die Stimme an den Nerven, zu aufdringlich das Volumen der Stimme in den Vordergrund gestellt und die Botschaft vernachlässigt. Sicherlich hatte MDM die voluminöseste Stimme , aber der beste Dramatiker war Er nicht,
ursmue1937 No surprise you switched to German, expected if anything, no worries, you can keep your fellow German for yourself if you like him, he will surely not be missed by any opera fan/lover whatsoever
D'accordo con il suo commento...il tedesco non è buono..ma il canto è improntato all'eroismo di Sigmund..a cui Del Monaco gli rende la nobiltà che pochi altri interpreti gli hanno saputo dare...secondo il mio parere MDM riesce a far diventare più umano il canto Wagneriano...cordiali saluti
Del Monaco war ein grandioser Sänger - nur halt nicht im deutschen Fach. Was er hier abliefert ist eher Kraftsport, aber kein Gesang. Eine Aneinanderreihung langer lauter Töne, bestenfalls der Auftritt eines singenden Gewichthebers.
Ho letto da qualche parte,che il grande direttore Karajan ha insistito per molto tempo a volerlo come TRISTANO ,ma credo che Del Monaco non abbia mai accettato...saluti
@@davidsolomon8203 underdeveloped tenor, horribly underdeveloped. He could have been magnificent if he had chosen a technique that didn’t force his voice into his head, and put immense strain on his throat and tongue. You can hear the tension in his voice
2) But, of course, if the aim of their life is to offend Mario and his admirers they will continue with this very unfair behaviour. Since Mario is dead and cannot defend himself against these very offensive defamatory comments then if they continue I'll continue to repeat the same things (I just copy this comment) out of respect to his memory. And other Mario's admirers surely will do the same with other words.
Vickers,è un tenore Canadese molto esperto in ruoli drammatici,grande musicista e interprete raffinato...tuttavia vocalmente non può competere con Del Monaco...saluti
so bene chi è Vikes ma non ho stima di quella voce...quando parlate di Del Monaco non parlate di altri poiché egli è unico in tutto.Ricordatevelo...poche chiacchiere
@piasecznik Not a "standard" performance, but a "modern" performance. Now go listen to some recordings with Furtwängler, and you will hear how it should be done.
Del Monaco had a very powerful voice. His German here is mediocre. The orchestration here was also extremely slow. Del Monaco was known for being off pitch at times, and that was evident here. But if you like a powerful voice, he definitely has that. A better tempo would have helped this aria, along with some improvement in the German. But his dramatic voice was certainly suited for these heavy Wagnerian roles.
Italianate Wagner is glorious - Sandor Konya's Lohengrin for ex. (with von Matacic, though, NOT Leinsdorf). But MDM does not have a beautiful voice, IMO, which is essential for any repertoire, not just Wagner. To me he sounds horribly off pitch and coarse. Ouch! Just my opinion. We all hear with our own ears. Thank you for posting this for reference.
the voice is glorious, it has got the dark colour the role needs, but it all sounds so wrong. it has got nothing to do with the part. The Wälse - as secure and ringing as they may be - are way too long, like somebody showing off his voice; and German is not a good language for him, I'm afraid.
@baritonedimitrov Thats possible that the german is horrible But perhaps thats the way many german singers are viewed when they sing in italian or perhaps you may not think thats possible. By the way how are the vocals here?
there are a lot to mention I could not find this fire and presence as his, Set Svanholm, Roeswaenge, Vickers I find sharpness in their high notes, Calling Wotan to help is astonishing the last hope sounds in that voice
Per "bellinianodoc" "...posteggiatore da trattoria..." ? Se il mio precario italiano non mi inganna, credo che lei, signor "bellinianodoc", sia qualcuno di terribilmente complessato, che si dà arie da grande intenditore ma che, inevitabilmente, si palesa per quello che è con questa imperdonabile caduta di stile ! Un vero intenditore ed appassionato può, certamente, criticare, ma esprimere così grossolanamente il proprio dissenso è semplicemente osceno ! Altro che stile ! Perfino Bellini inorridirebbe e si vergognerebbe di un "fan" come lei ! Non si porta certo maggior lustro al proprio beniamino offendendo così sconsideratamente ! Io sono molto giovane e non mi ritengo certamente "esperta", ma ho ascoltato così tanto da poter dire che, il grande MdM non era certo perfetto, soprattutto dopo il famoso incidente, ma si perdona tutto a chi in palcoscenico ha dato sempre tutto e di più, e faceva vibrare le più intime corde dell'anima come lui, meglio e più di chiunque altro, ha saputo fare in tutta la sua lunga e splendida carriera ! Ma poi, me lo lasci dire (ma se non me lo lascia dire, lo dico lo stesso) : A me, come cantava Mario Del Monaco piace e potete abbaiare contro in centomila, non mi farete certo cambiare idea !
Melchior had no heir . I wouldn't call him vulgar and primitive. DelMonaco worked hard , and gave 100% at every performance. Because he knew the public came to hear him. He had the voice. But Wagner is another kettle of fish .i would have spent at least a year learning Sigmund .
Ribadisco a beneficio del signor Varzi : - Potrei anche concordare con lei su alcuni dei suoi appunti, ma come si fa a ridurre un grande, anzi, grandissimo cantante, dalla generosità infinita, come Del Monaco ad una specie di figura grottesca, beh proprio non lo concepisco ! E poi i termini che lei si permette di utilizzare ! Si atteggia a raffinato intenditore, salvo poi a scadere al livello dei soliti pseudo-critici che danno fondo al loro più volgare repertorio diffamatorio . Parlando di un cantante, anche uno qualunque, poco importa, (ma nel nostro caso del grandissimo Mario Del Monaco) che, malgrado la sua lunga e gloriosa carriera, malgrado non si sia mai risparmiato (ricordo a tutti che MDM doveva sottoporsi ad emodialisi a giorni alterni !), non ostante abbia riscosso sempre riscontri più che entusiastici, richiesto sempre dai più grandi Teatri d'Opera e dai più grandi direttori d'orchestra (e non imposto a questi ultimi dalle case discografiche), vedi H.von Karajan ad esempio, portato in trionfo ovunque andasse, perfino a Mosca o a Tokyo, come si può dire di questo cantante che non è stato altro che "un ridicolo dilettante" ? Criticare è legittimo, come è legittimo non condividere il parere altrui. Offendere e diffamare è semplicemente meschino ! Beh, signor Varzi, credo che il ridicolo questa volta e con questo commento se lo sia proprio andato a cercare lei !

He sounds terrible. He shouldn't have confronted Wagner. He's not up to it.
@@wagner594 Yep, Kaufmann and Vogt are much better, right?
@@wagner594 he sounds better in the staged version he did when he was younger. This recital was of course after his prime.

A tremendous voice.
"Ein Schwert verhiess mir der Vater" which means "My father promised me a sword"
I’m impressed. He sings the role beautifully and with style. His German is much better than Plácido Domingos’s
Incredibile ! Riesce ad essere più trombone dei cantanti tedeschi.!
cioe?
PEccato che MDM si sia avvicinato a Wagner solo in carriera avanzata, perchè le incisioni del 1957 in un concerto non hanno eguali e qualsiasi grande interprete Wagneriano ne rimarebbe sconcertato. Parlo di quattro arie da Lohengrin, e Walkiria assolutamente belle e ripeto senza eguali. ascoltatele . un saluto
Bravo federic017....
Woah!!! Even allowing for that thick Italian accent, Del Monaco is AMAZING!!!!
Jonas Kaufmann isn't quite in that class yet, but he's getting there fast. And he's the only one i can think of who could come close.
+Maven Whitlock I love Kaufmann and he may get there some day, but Del Monaco was simply the greatest dramatic tenor of the 20th century. And he was all out every night. BTW, check out (here on youtube) Del Monaco and Ramon Vinay in a performance of Verdi's Otello in Dallas Texas (!) in 1962. It's the duet Si Piel Ciel (MDM is Otello and RV is Iago). It's just audio and the sound isn't the greatest (attenuated at MDM's high notes), but it took my breath away. Vinay ruled as Otello for years before MDM came along.
...to compare a friendly housecat to a lion....MDM is unique, despite his German. With that voice and dramatic expression, he could have sung it in Chinese...
Maven Whitlocke Comparing Del Monaco to Kaufman is akin to comparing a Ferrari to a Fiat
SacredTemplar8 , Del Monaco ist hier nicht mal der Fiat, das ist einfach fürchterlich, bei Kaufmann ist es ein Genuss, bei MDM zerrt die Stimme an den Nerven, zu aufdringlich das Volumen der Stimme in den Vordergrund gestellt und die Botschaft vernachlässigt. Sicherlich hatte MDM die voluminöseste Stimme , aber der beste Dramatiker war Er nicht,
ursmue1937 No surprise you switched to German, expected if anything, no worries, you can keep your fellow German for yourself if you like him, he will surely not be missed by any opera fan/lover whatsoever
thank you!!
@tenortobe I agree completely!
What year was it recorded in?
Thanks in advance...

Well said indeed!!!

Extraordinary... simply... extraordinary!!!
Lustig.
Amazing
O Dio! Not his best performance. You must be kidding. That voice would blow all the tenors of today off the stage. Microphones here we come.
Great dramatic tenor! His lowest notes sound like those of a baritone's voice.
And his breathing very ample, such as the Melchior´s breath, that was very expansive.
D'accordo con il suo commento...il tedesco non è buono..ma il canto è improntato all'eroismo di Sigmund..a cui Del Monaco gli rende la nobiltà che pochi altri interpreti gli hanno saputo dare...secondo il mio parere MDM riesce a far diventare più umano il canto Wagneriano...cordiali saluti
Del Monaco war ein grandioser Sänger - nur halt nicht im deutschen Fach. Was er hier abliefert ist eher Kraftsport, aber kein Gesang. Eine Aneinanderreihung langer lauter Töne, bestenfalls der Auftritt eines singenden Gewichthebers.
Lyricism, feeling, nuancing- zero. Power: 100%
Where can I download original file of this video??
I can't help you about video, but you can convert mp3 here:www.youtube-mp3.org
@sugarbist it does`t matter how my italian is. i don`t sing italian in public. but the words for wagner singing are very important, so....
Yes, his German is a little bit...special... But what oooooooooommmphhh!!!!
This was after his severe car accident.
MARAVILLOSO!!!
John Schofield , leiden Sie an Geschmacksverirrung ?
3:24 ---> lungs
the sheer strength of his voice is admirable but nowadays when I hear him I just wince
Mike Callahan ... because?
c
Dio assoluto!
He might have been a good Tristan ?
Ho letto da qualche parte,che il grande direttore Karajan ha insistito per molto tempo a volerlo come TRISTANO ,ma credo che Del Monaco non abbia mai accettato...saluti
I fully agree. Tks for your comment although belatedly :-)
He could have pre-dated and forecasted Jonas Kaufmann as a Wagnerian heldentenor!!!
Kaufman isn't a real heldentenor
David Kymdell I defer to your knowledge, Sir! Kaufman’s voice exceeds what most heldentenor sing, or are capable of singing, in my humble opinion!
@@davidsolomon8203 no, hes a shit legero
@@davidsolomon8203 underdeveloped tenor, horribly underdeveloped. He could have been magnificent if he had chosen a technique that didn’t force his voice into his head, and put immense strain on his throat and tongue. You can hear the tension in his voice
@@davidkymdell452 Kaufmann isn´t al real singer!
2) But, of course, if the aim of their life is to offend Mario and his admirers they will continue with this very unfair behaviour. Since Mario is dead and cannot defend himself against these very offensive defamatory comments then if they continue I'll continue to repeat the same things (I just copy this comment) out of respect to his memory. And other Mario's admirers surely will do the same with other words.

Excellent job!
Aria: ein schwert verhieß mir der vater - Opera: ''Die Walkure''
@ezev8logos Senz'altro...Vickers sarà meglio per la lingua tedesca ma vocalmente Del Monaco non ha rivali...saluti
federic017 ma cosa sarà mai sto Vikes?
Vickers,è un tenore Canadese molto esperto in ruoli drammatici,grande musicista e interprete raffinato...tuttavia vocalmente non può competere con Del Monaco...saluti
so bene chi è Vikes ma non ho stima di quella voce...quando parlate di Del Monaco non parlate di altri poiché egli è unico in tutto.Ricordatevelo...poche chiacchiere
I'm with you siegmund
@piasecznik Not a "standard" performance, but a "modern" performance. Now go listen to some recordings with Furtwängler, and you will hear how it should be done.
bravo Mario
Del Monaco had a very powerful voice. His German here is mediocre. The orchestration here was also extremely slow. Del Monaco was known for being off pitch at times, and that was evident here. But if you like a powerful voice, he definitely has that. A better tempo would have helped this aria, along with some improvement in the German. But his dramatic voice was certainly suited for these heavy Wagnerian roles.
To my ears no one approaches Melchior. Then, Windgassen. After that, it's all downhill for Siegmund.
Viva MDM! Non posso dire altro. Un saluto da VivaRenata.
Sempre...Sempre
Tutta la vita!
Italianate Wagner is glorious - Sandor Konya's Lohengrin for ex. (with von Matacic, though, NOT Leinsdorf).
But MDM does not have a beautiful voice, IMO, which is essential for any repertoire, not just Wagner. To me he sounds horribly off pitch and coarse. Ouch!
Just my opinion. We all hear with our own ears.
Thank you for posting this for reference.
the voice is glorious, it has got the dark colour the role needs, but it all sounds so wrong. it has got nothing to do with the part. The Wälse - as secure and ringing as they may be - are way too long, like somebody showing off his voice; and German is not a good language for him, I'm afraid.
@baritonedimitrov Thats possible that the german is horrible But perhaps thats the way many german singers are viewed when they sing in italian or perhaps you may not think thats possible. By the way how are the vocals here?
AWESOME!!!
there are a lot to mention I could not find this fire and presence as his, Set Svanholm, Roeswaenge, Vickers I find sharpness in their high notes, Calling Wotan to help is astonishing the last hope sounds in that voice
does anyone know the name of the die walkure song?
Per "bellinianodoc"
"...posteggiatore da trattoria..." ?
Se il mio precario italiano non mi inganna, credo che lei, signor "bellinianodoc", sia qualcuno di terribilmente complessato, che si dà arie da grande intenditore ma che, inevitabilmente, si palesa per quello che è con questa imperdonabile caduta di stile !
Un vero intenditore ed appassionato può, certamente, criticare, ma esprimere così grossolanamente il proprio dissenso è semplicemente osceno !
Altro che stile ! Perfino Bellini inorridirebbe e si vergognerebbe di un "fan" come lei !
Non si porta certo maggior lustro al proprio beniamino offendendo così sconsideratamente !
Io sono molto giovane e non mi ritengo certamente "esperta", ma ho ascoltato così tanto da poter dire che, il grande MdM non era certo perfetto, soprattutto dopo il famoso incidente, ma si perdona tutto a chi in palcoscenico ha dato sempre tutto e di più, e faceva vibrare le più intime corde dell'anima come lui, meglio e più di chiunque altro, ha saputo fare in tutta la sua lunga e splendida carriera !
Ma poi, me lo lasci dire (ma se non me lo lascia dire, lo dico lo stesso) : A me, come cantava Mario Del Monaco piace e potete abbaiare contro in centomila, non mi farete certo cambiare idea !
WOW ...
Y qué se le había perdido a "éste" en "Die Walküre".
"Vulgar and primitive" - maybe, but if he had really worked on this repertoire, he might have become the vocal heir of Melchior
!
Melchior had no heir . I wouldn't call him vulgar and primitive. DelMonaco worked hard , and gave 100% at every performance. Because he knew the public came to hear him. He had the voice. But Wagner is another kettle of fish .i would have spent at least a year learning Sigmund .
Everything but vulgar and primitive
Ribadisco a beneficio del signor Varzi : -
Potrei anche concordare con lei su alcuni dei suoi appunti, ma come si fa a ridurre un grande, anzi, grandissimo cantante, dalla generosità infinita, come Del Monaco ad una specie di figura grottesca, beh proprio non lo concepisco !
E poi i termini che lei si permette di utilizzare !
Si atteggia a raffinato intenditore, salvo poi a scadere al livello dei soliti pseudo-critici che danno fondo al loro più volgare repertorio diffamatorio .
Parlando di un cantante, anche uno qualunque, poco importa, (ma nel nostro caso del grandissimo Mario Del Monaco) che, malgrado la sua lunga e gloriosa carriera, malgrado non si sia mai risparmiato (ricordo a tutti che MDM doveva sottoporsi ad emodialisi a giorni alterni !), non ostante abbia riscosso sempre riscontri più che entusiastici, richiesto sempre dai più grandi Teatri d'Opera e dai più grandi direttori d'orchestra (e non imposto a questi ultimi dalle case discografiche), vedi H.von Karajan ad esempio, portato in trionfo ovunque andasse, perfino a Mosca o a Tokyo, come si può dire di questo cantante che non è stato altro che "un ridicolo dilettante" ?
Criticare è legittimo, come è legittimo non condividere il parere altrui.
Offendere e diffamare è semplicemente meschino !
Beh, signor Varzi, credo che il ridicolo questa volta e con questo commento se lo sia proprio andato a cercare lei !
condivido il suo commento...anche se il signor Varzi non meritava risposta
