- Tenore Robusto ANTONIO PAOLI (1871-1946) sings "Dio mi potevi scagliar" from Verdi's Otello on a G & T 78 rpm disc # 025173.
Paoli, who was a giant of a man, had one of the MOST POWERFUL voices of any tenor--- EVER!
What till you hear the CLIMAX of this recording. You'll be astonished. Such passion!
Paoli was known as "The King of Tenors." He is considered the first Puerto Rican to reach international fame in the musical arts.
Throughout his active career, he wanted to perform at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City. This never happened as he was prevented for appearing by Enrico Caruso who had great influence with the house's management and board of directors. What Caruso wanted, Caruso got!
In the early days of record-making, singers
were told to step back from the horn when it came to some powerful part of an aria so that the recording diaphragm wouldn't be damaged, or to prevent blasting. As might be expected, Paoli was difficult to record...

i 1st heard him nov 2008 & bought 3 CDs & listen to him ever day can't get enough!!!
divino.
uno dei migliori Otello nella storia della lirica .
una vocalità gigantesca .
BODILOTO. veramente un grande tenore. Ce ne fossero oggi cantanti cosi ! Comme nous disons en français hélas !
Ha fatto circa 300 Otello, come Pier Miranda Ferraro.
Comment : Who was greater, Paoli or Caruso? Depends whom you prefer. Both were great artists.Paoli attended Cruso's funeral and spoke good things about Caruso. Giacomo Lauri Volpi, Tito Schipa considered Paoli a phenomenal voice, without equal. All the crowned heads of Europe choose Paoli as their favorite.
Also he was a superb actor with an impressive stage presence. At 29yrs. old he
sang 6 performances of W. Tell at the Paris Opera 1899.
Vocally, brilliant. Interpretively? He leaves me cold. With all respect due to the crowned heads of Europe, they are not necessarily connoisseurs of vocal talent.
Incredible powerhouse voice awesome!!!
Every note resonates, includes the parlato, as is true of the greatest singers who knew the lost Art of Singing
@SrTopocho Si, esta usted muy correcto. Tamagno fue el elegido de Verdi. Paoli entra en escena cuando Tamagno esta en retiro y enfermo del corazon. Fue en ltalia donde la critica consagro a Paoli como el mejor Otello, despues de Tamagno y se le titulo como El Rey de los Tenores y el Tenor de los Reyes. Leoncavallo eligio a Paoli para grabar la primera opera completa, 1907, I Paggliacci. Mascagni contrato a Paoli para cantar su Ratclif en gira por los EUA 1902. Fue una epoca de oro.
Splendida performance...che temperamento!!! grazie
TYVM please don't EVER take this down!!!
Probablemente el mejor Otello de todos los tiempos... Es simplemente genial!!!! Gracias por compartir esta joya!!! Saludos!!!

Probabilmente …
Merli? Completo.
@gmmix Giacomo Lauri Volpi declared on his book Voci Paralelle pg.135:
Paoli and De Muro together with Tamagno constituted the three phenomenal voices
( voci - fenomeno ) per power of vibrations ( squillo ) in the last 50 years.
To find similar voices in the history of singing we have to go back to Tamberlick
and Duprez.

Dal momento nel quale il Fenomeno
Lauri - Volpi incominciò di parlare male del Gigante Miguel Fleta purtroppo ha perso tutta la sua credibilità.
Miguel Fleta con la sua vocalità Sublime e tecnica perfetta rendeva geloso non solo Lauri-Volpi….
- Della sua voce Enorme tremavano le pareti del teatro !
Queste erano le parole delLa Riccardi amica e collega di un certo Beniamino Gigli…
Qua parliamo del Teatro a Vienna e non di quello di Parma…
no comment

PS
La Riccardi adorava Fleta e la sua voce Unica e di più era innamorata di Gigli …
No clue what it's about who cares it is AWESOME!!!!!!!
WOW AWESOME!!!!! PAOLI > Caruso wish u had Di mia Patria, Canzone Guerresa & Oh nobil lama al Ciel raggiante on u tube i would if i knew how!
@bacassa Sir : Giacomo Lauri Volpi said, in Voci Parallele, p. 133 " E infatti la natura non a creato, nemmeno nei nostro tempi, un cantore capace di comprendere le nobili passione ed esprimerle nella forma adecuata
comp fece il tenore portoricano Antonio Paoli, or e` quarant' anni." Allora erano in augeGrassi, Bassi, Zenatello, Garbin, Maestri, Martinelli, Di Giovanni, Ferrari Fontana, Constantino, oltre a Caruso e a Bonci. Ma nessuno di qusti, se anche ne avesse avuto il carattere vocale, ..
@bacassa Paoli, De Muro together with Tamagno constitute the three phenomenal voices per power of vibration - squillo - for the last 50 years. In order to find similar
voices in the history of singing we must encounter Tamberlick and Duprerz.
A very nice and accurate statement
Massive dramatic voice
Alucina escuchar lo fácil que le resulta cantar un aria tan huesuda...
Interpretó magníficamente la ópera "Lohengrin" de Wagner. Más aún, al cantarla en Viena, el emperador austríaco se levantó ante el tenor puertorriqueño como acto honroso (acto sumamente extraño en el linaje real). Existen ciertos comentarios cuyo valor semántico es ínfimo. Si se expresa una opinión, se expone con respeto.
Correct. We should feel ashamed of how society has abandoned this King of Tenors. He increased our musical status to a culminating point.
Good. You have a good analytical ear. listen to the diverse color, exploding in emotional extasis of anguish. Then the brutal expansion of the last phrase, overtones of phenomenal squillo.
Espagnol par sa mère portoricaine , son père était natif de canari village corse où fût exploitée une mine d'amiante jusqu'en 1970. Il semblerait que ce ténor ne s'est jamais produit au met du fait que caruso qui en était sociétaire l'en avait écarté par jalousie......il a cependant chanté en Europe dans les royaumes de l'époque ce qui lui a valu le sobriquet de ténor des cours. Difficile de dire qui était le meilleur dans les rôles dramatiques entre lui et caruso , mais sa voix était sans doute plus proche de celle de tamagno.
Se le denomina como la primera figura nacional que da paso a la elevación musical culminante de nuestra representación.
Muy bien contestado.
@bodiloto Giacomo Lauri Volpi shares your opinion. From his book Voci Paralelle p135,"Paoli e de Muro, insieme a Tamagno, costituiscono il trinomio delle voci-fenomeno, per potenza di vibrazione, apparse negli ultimi 50 anni.
Bisogna risalire a Tamberlick e a Duprez per trovarne un riscontro nella storia del canto".
Non dimenticherei ramon vinay ..
@WMP777 Retiro lo dicho anteriormente. He oido mejores grabaciones de Paoli de las que había oido anteriormente y es un magnífico Otello, no sé si el mejor, pero sí entre los mejores. De todos modos, Verdi eligió a Tamagno para el esteno de Otello, si no estoy mal informado.
The description of this gentleman as the greatest Otello well might bring partisan opinions pouring in from the admirers of other singers of this role. Caruso's alleged blocking of Paoli's Metropolitan aspirations seems unlikely, in view of consistently general reports that the amiable Neapolitan enjoyed being on friendly terms with all his tenor colleagues. His pal, the strapping 6'5" Leo Slezak was a literally towering Otello in 1910 at the Met.
@SrTopocho Giacomo Lauri Volpi un tenor de alta cultura y educacion musical, de su puno y letra declaro: Paoli "voci phenomini"fue superior a todos los tenores de esa era , incluyendo a Caruso. Laui Volpi no era muy humilde ni dado a la alabanza. Sin embargo dijo que "Paoli fue mejor que el. Toscanini le recomendo a Caruso que se olvidara de Otello, que se lo dejara a Paoli. En Espana Caruso juro no volver a cantar porque G. Anselmi era el favorito. Toda Cabeza Real eligio a Paoli.
No me cabe duda de que a este tío no le cabía la voz en el estudio de grabación...
Rafael Merino por lo q comentaba mi abuelo el tenía q cantar en ovaciones de espalda al micrófono por q los rompía o dañaba, por lo alto q subía en los tonos.

Tutto dipende della posizione e la natura della voce .
Anche una voce normale ben proiettata può rompere più di una coppa di cristallo …
Degli anni 60 avevo un amico baritono verdiano chi durante una ripetizione aveva distrutto non uno, ma due microfoni con la sua voce …

Il recitativo non è granché...ma voce e parte finale eccellenti !!!
Merli?
@WMP777 thx 4 replying. i only understand english
what year was this recorded?
I'll leave the expert critical judgements to you. My comments on the subject were based on statements reported in a Paoli memoirs, compiled from interviews from longtime friends and colleagues. Your mccormick reference is baffling. If you mean John McCormack, they operated in two altogether different musical worlds, so that any comparison is irrelevant.
Incidentally, I participated in a major Caruso retrospect in 2002 which included memorabilia from Caruso's grandson, who lives near me.
is this transposed half-step lower?
Voce imperiosa...la parte iniziale recitata è un po piatta,ma il cantabile e il finale sono spettacolari!!!
Merli?
Paoli es más que robuto, es estentóreo...
Altro Otello credibile...almeno in questa incisione...saluti
He is not better than Caruso he is light years better!!!!!
@porsche4277 NO joke but a reality well know by the critics and fans of that era.
Caruso was great, but Paoli's bread & butter roles were in the dramatic heroic repertory: W. Tell, Meyerbeer heroes, Otello, G. Ratclif. Sanson, Marion Del Orme-revival, Le Cid, Lohengrin. They share few roles. Fact: Caruso swear to never sing in Spain because G. Anselmi was the favorite due to musicality and artistic finesse. Caruso make sure his performances never coincided with Paoli's.Paoli never sang Puccini.
PAOLI ERA UNO DE LOS MEJORES TENORES SI NO EL MEJOR PAGADO; POR UN ESPECTACULO PUDO COBRAR HASTA $50,000 EN SU EPOCA WAOO!
Except that Caruso could sing in tune.
Comparing him to Caruso?- Is this a joke?
One cannot criticise Paoli. Perhaps it is Nationalism or some macho sexual thing - or both. Many, many modern day critics think his singing crude, almost laughable, whilst understanding his success. Paoli has poor intonation, a crude provincial style; his supporters worship him - it is pointless to put such thoughts to paper. The Wikipedia entry is locked, controlled by the Paoli worshippers - it is all very odd. There is no doubt that Paoli was admired and had a successful career; but why?
Jack Rance I bet your family is asking the same thing about you 😂😂
Except the success part
Come interprete è un dilettante..
Paoli might have easier Bs and Cs than Caruso but neither his tone or musiclaity were in Rico's class.
this is not too bad for Paoli - one of his better efforts. Most of his efforts are wobbly out of tune, pompous and laughable. I'll be shot by the Puerto Rican mafia for saying that.
