This is superlative in every respect. Most powerful post war tenor, if not of all time. His self confident, near brazen style captivates all with both tenderness and sexual tension. Corelli is most often my ‘go to’ tenor, but Mario had another level of power and joy in vocal expression. Extremely captivating.
@@eugeniogentili1048 Corelli was a plastic, he was with some darkness but not enough, he was so rough, especially at the end of career then he lost some darkness. Monaco was with full darkness, but too wide. You can even compare Musica probita versions of Monaco and Caruso, Caruso seems more leggero behind Monaco, so interesting
I just kept shaking my head at this performance. What the American TV audience and those that were there live must have thought, they must have had their minds blown; opera buff or not, this would shake the casual observer to the core. What power, what passion, and what a freakin instrument. Wow...
These old videos are treasures from the past. Wow, Del Monaco had a strong, powerful voice. The tone of his voice is deeper than many tenors of his time. A beautiful, rich voice. Thanks to The Ed Sullivan Show and to the late Ed Sullivan for bringing the music of opera and the opera singers to the American people.
Più lo ascolti la DINAMITE, IL TRITOLO, IL DIAMANTE della sua incredibile voce emerge sempre di più a ripulirti le orecchie da altre brutture.. MARIONE extra class🌹
Certo, nessuno mette in discussione la grandezza di CARUSO specie in questo ruolo, ma nemmeno DEL MONACO... PERTILE... GIGLI.... MERLI... CORELLI...MASINI... ecc.. ecc... Cordialità
Excellent, I saw him in 1959 in the opera house singing Otello, the greatest dramatic tenor I've ever seen in my over 63 years of attending opera, the other great Canio singing this live for me was American Spinto tenor Richard Tucker, another favorite Canio of mine.
Favorite Canio that lasts till his final hour... Richard Grand Tucker deserves to be on the preferred list. Mario and Richard Tucker's singing are so inspiring, every single time🅰🅰🅰
@@Xerxes89 No I'm not, but Neil and his wife Dawn are friends of mine for a long time, I'm only a fan of his (and a lot older) Neil was born in 1949, I'm in my 80's!
I cannot understand when people talk about who was the greatest tenor of all time and don't even include the colossus great Mario in the discussion..They need to watch videos like this one and his rendition of Nessun Dorma here on You tube.His performances, not just the incredible vocal, leaves you gob smacked and speechless.God bless the King Mario Del Monaco❤️🥰🙏
His voice is so brilliant and strong. If other tenor's voice is a ring of light, his voice could be the laser. I've been listening to his records since i was in senior high (that was just 2 years ago).

@@shicoff1398 I should also mention that on my top list there are 2 artists: MDM and R. Tucker❤👍👍👍 Magnificent heavy duty voices with warm/deep artistries ... no equal, no more...❗
@@Xerxes89 In fact, Tucker had the costume from Caruso on "Pagliacci" role. I think still that MDM and Tucker are both dramatic role experts. Caruso is the god father of tenor in general.
Ah, this is absolutely incredible! Fantastic, I loved it so much! This was apparently Mario's first appearance on the Sullivan show, and I've never seen it before! Thank you so much for posting this! I hope you will post Mario's other appearances as well! According to an episode guide, he also sang "Musica Prohibita", "Tu, Ca Nun Chiagner" and "Some Enchanted Evening" on other Sullivan shows. I'd love to see those too!
Straordinario... E fortunato!!! Accorgersi di avere la voce e usarla è una grande fortuna chissà quanti hanno la voce e vivono senza nemmeno saperlo!!! La voce... Il più grande dono dell'Universo... Dell' Universo intero (cit.)
Il mio babbo si commuoveva fino le lacrime, quando ascoltava questo pezzo, anche da Mario Lanza, il babbo mio era del 1901 di Maggio un grande appassionato di opere, romanze, musica classica e canzoni è mi intrigava che piangesse. Così mi facevo spiegare perché certa musica lo faceva piangere. Adesso sono io che mi commuovo, con certa splendida musica, brava cara Elena per passarcela. Non l'hai più suonata? Grazie👍👏🤗💞💞
What pleases me now as I listen to this and other MDM videos is, in reading the comments, this man is getting the proper recognition. Forget the critics, he is a Hall of Fame singer.
The best ever. Technique, Power, Tonality, sound richness... everything at the top
Чистый бриллиант. Без примесей
What a powerful voice. The 50s was a decade of opera monsters like Mario Del Monaco, Franco Corelli, Mario Lanza, Björling and others.
I know right. Without them the 3 tenors would never have came about.
Also of course Tucker, Bergonzi, Di Stefano and Tagliavini .
"Others"=Callas, the ultimate opera monster.
Lanza wasn’t an operatic tenor
@@Ccroes That's true, but anyway, he was great.
Who disliked? One of the absolute best singers ever at the height of his career.
Absolutely. One of the best video recordings of Del Monaco singing live that you can find anywhere. Height of his powers.
Dislikes are from jealous and/or ignorant people.
@denny b Andrea bocelli’s fans
@denny b accurate
Modern Opera Singers Are On The Disliked Section
His voice is a weapon.
Verimente
37 years old. In his magnificent youthful prime. And SO handsome.
Dpffir.
One of the best singers of all time, easily.
The greatest of all time.
Truly amazing! There is nobody today who even approaches him
Saw him in Chicago as Chenier with Tebaldi. Over 20 curtain calls. No one today could wipe his shoes!!!
UNICO
Voce e tanto sentimento
He had the VERY BEST STAGE
Presence of ANY OPERA SINGER IN OPERAS HISTORY.
Complete command. And it was compelling. The greatest vocal powerhouse of the last 100 years.
The most exciting tenor, ever.
His squillo is perhaps the best of any other opera singer's squillo.
he and Lauri Volpi
This is superlative in every respect. Most powerful post war tenor, if not of all time. His self confident, near brazen style captivates all with both tenderness and sexual tension.

Numero uno
Hai detto bene.

Magnifico, unico ❤️
The orchestra is so much better than its studio version, also the way he's singing is incredible
Che uomo, che voce, che bellezza,

Il più grande di tutti grazie Mario del Monaco per la tua amata bronzea inimitabile voce
His is doing decrescendo and crescendo in this aria and yet people were saying he could only sing very loud

Che meraviglia una voce squillante senza sbavature. Grandissimo Mario rimarrai sempre nella nostra memoria
Великий Марио Дель Монако. Браво.
Che voce... Patrimonio dell'umanità... Grazie Mario Del Monaco
Perché non in inglese
Il più Grande Tenore eroico di tutti i tempi.
On n’a plus des voix comme ça. C’est fini !
The Untouchables (1987) brought me here. Thanks, Paramount Pictures.
What an amazingly powerful voice he had! Beautiful! No wonder 20th century was the era of great tenors!
That left me speechless. It's a privilege to witness such greatness. I loved his smile once that gut-wrenching aria was finished.
Обалденный голос! А какой красавец ! 😱
The power

110 percent
Stunning! This is an immortal performance.!
Absolutely voice! The Best of the Best!
This Italian opera song by Mario del Monaco was heard in The Untouchables (1987).
@@Naminski1a Thanks. I know it. He is my favorite singer 😍!
Hard call to make, placido and Lanza are definitely contenders I this field. I'm sure others would also challenge. He was amazing either way
El más grande de todos los tiempos, que Dios lo tenga en sus brazos.
Magnificent

Interpretazione mozzafiato !!! L'espressione del viso è fantastica!!!!!
La voce è impressionante!!!
The best forever! Bravo maestro! RIP
Wow!I love his voice.❤
Il suo repertorio,.

The costumes, the lights, set are amazing. Hiding in the shadow from the beginning gives me chills

Mario was so damn powerful
his voice could shatter walls and bridges , absolutely fantastic
He could easily shatter the walls of Jericho!
Mario is the best Canio. absolutely, Brass Bull of Milan, together with Richard Tucker, signatured this hard role. Bravo!
Agreed, well said!
@@shicoff1398 I should also mention that on my top list there are 2 artists: MDM and R. Tucker❤👍👍👍
Magnificent heavy duty voices with warm/deep artistries ... no equal, no more...❗
Caruso first, then the two you mentioned. In my opinion 😊✌️
@@Xerxes89 In fact, Tucker had the costume from Caruso on "Pagliacci" role.
I think still that MDM and Tucker are both dramatic role experts. Caruso is the god father of tenor in general.
One of the best singer in the world!
In one of his signature roles. Outstanding!
Мощный, изумительной красоты голос! Величайший певец, браво!
El más grande entre los grande, tuve el honor de conocerlo, era pequeña pero jamás olvidare esa bendición, está feliz en la luz.
womderful powerful voice 👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👏👏👏👏😃

Que voz tan prodigiosa, Mario del Monaco es inmenso, junto a Corelli, mis tenores preferidos, ningun tenor en la actualiad les llega ni a los talones.
