  • Splendido nella voce....! e Splendida persona...!!

  • Does anyone have the translation for this or have the video with English Subtitles?

  • Excellent. He looks like we would find him in a bus station looking for cigarette ends - but he speaks and sings the truth.

  • Can someone please tranlate this interview on english? Please...

  • Can someone please tranlate this interview on english? Please...

  • Magnifico Maestro !!!!!!!!!!

  • Giacomini ha ragione, il cantante deve dare emozione, lui è uno di questi grandi artisti come anche Bonaldo Giaiotti, due grandi elargitori di emozione.

    Grazie

  • Giuseppe Giacomini, a huge true artist!

    Nowadays there is a lack of real artists in the opera world. Singers today seem to be more interesteded in fame and money made through strong marketing and PR campaigs than in developing as artists.

  • @TheVoicelesson You are correct with one exception: It is not the fault of the singer, it's that the nature of the business has changed dramatically. I think that now that the art is not making much money, cd sales are way down, production costs are too high, that we will see a return to the old model where an artist is developed fully. For there are less options to "sell" and it makes more sense to develop. But there is only so much reinvention that the art form can take.

  • A very great tenor, strangely underrated and little known. A wonderful technique and a fine artist!

  • Ugh, why don't I speak Italian.

  • @REBECCAtheSOPRANO Learn it. Most difficult but most beautiful language.

  • @DanyNicola I took Italian 101 and 102 last year :) I plan to be fluent someday.

  • TI AMO

  • Un gran aficionado al canto...

  • A beautiful and an enorrmous voice,very high musicality has his voice also, a great artist, and a great man! He deserves all the congratulations for his career ! He is one from the last singers who use the technic with the down larynx and has a enormous breath also ! He will sing at Bucarest National Opera this saturday and I cant wait enymore to see and to hear him!

  • complimenti maestro per la bellezza delle sue parole per la sua fede per il suo credere in Dio. Un grande scrittore diceva che la bellezza salvera' il mondo, la bellezza è Dio e l'arte e' un mezzo per riflettere tale bellezza....Maestro lei e' stato uno degli specchi dell'amore di Dio

  • Sicuramente sono parole di un vero artista, da ammirare oltre che per la sua voce incredibile anche per la sua anima. Ma qualcuno di voi mi sa dire se la sua tecnica ha qualche relazione con quella tramandata da Arturo Melocchi?

  • Giacomini, Bonisolli, Martinucci, Cecchele, Luchetti...such a legacy to remeber and to keep.

  • Il più grande tenore vivente in assoluto. Uno degli ultimi veri MOSTRI SACRI.

  • commuovente.....davvero....

  • Incredible Tenor!!!!!

  • Maestro Giacomini, La ringrazio infinitamente per queste Sue parole profonde e sincere - inedite, che non mi sarei aspettato neanche da un protagonista del mondo dello spettacolo come Lei, che pure ho sempre altissimamente stimato per avere avuto il privilegio di collaborare con Lei all'Opera di Roma in diverse magnifiche produzioni. D'ora in avanti credo che ricorrerò spesso a questa Sua intervista per ricordarmi che esiste un più grande significato dell'Arte.

  • I love how he says that it is most important to hear the voice live in the theatre rather than on disc or with the assistance of amplification. Great singer and seems to be a great human being. I think very under rated for his talents by the big houses. Maybe not commercial or PR driven enough like the Pavarotti, Domingo and Carreras' of the world.

  • parole vere e vissute....allora esistono anche in quel mondo queste belle persone !? bravo primo come uomo e poi come artista!!

  • bravo Bepe

  • Giacomini es indudablemente un gran artista, y ahora viéndolo en este video realmente se acerca a la perfección personal, a la santidad, es un ejemplo para los demàs.

    ¡Bravo maestro!

  • Un grande. Ho avuto la fortuna di lavorare con lui, un esperienza che non lo dimenticherò mai!

  • I heard him singing Otello in Helsinki few years ago (I think it was 2006). He had of course some problems with his voice but it was one of my greatest opera experiences ever!

    Thank You Giacomini!!

  • His emphasis on "the spirituality of the voice," and its capcity to "repair the damage done (to the soul) by the world" shows very well that as a human being, he has far greater depth and intellect than the typical performer. This is a very, very serious artist, with a truly grand vision of his art and its purpose. He is a giant.

  • Bellissime parole da un vero Maestro di canto e di vita anche...

  • One of the very best Tenors of our time. Just divine!

  • what an attractive shirt that is...

  • You must be a faggot.

  • *gentle, like speaking voice

  • Listen to Franco Corelli and Hans Hotter speak. They seem to speak away from the depth of their singing voices. Others lean into the spoken voice and sound similar to their singing voice while speaking.

  • wotan3000, I agree, thats true. Listen to Bariton Dimitri Hvorostovsky, also a very light speeking voice.

  • I would not expect a guy with such a gentle, light to sing like that.

  • Questo uomo e un vero artista, grazie maestro!

  • Tutto quello que esiste dentro poi lo vedi fuori, queste Huomo e un Santo , e tu non arrivi ne anche a essere Judas. Bravo maestro , tu sei eterno comme l'amore Bravo ancora.

  • Maestro!

  • Mi piace,perche è sincero.Maestro,grazie per la sua arte stupenda.

  • è un grande e dice belle cose solo che si dilunga troppo e, forse sarò stupido, talvolta perdo il filo del discorso e non capisco di cosa sta parlando....

  • vero :(

  • Cerca di dire delle cose senza essere troppo esplicito, è un'intervista, non sta parlando in privato, altrimenti ci avrebbe messo 2-3 frasi per spiegarsi.Non è facile dire quel tale è un bluff, le case discografiche creano problemi, ecc...!

    Se lo ascolti 2-3 volte riesci ad afferrare quel che c'è dietro.

  • damn why am I so lazy... and still haven't learned italian beyond "lesson #1" ....

    I have the box right here on the desk... with 4 CDs or so... to remind me... lol

    Unfortunately there are lots of papers on the box now :-D

  • lol, Agatarco, would you mind deleting my last post with all that spelling errors asnd this one, leaving the once that will follow after this? I'll correct the spelling.

    Thanks :-)

  • damn why am I so lazy... and still heaven't learned italian beyond "lesson #1" ....

    If have the box here on the desk... with 4 CDs or so... to remind me... lol

    unfortionately there are lots of papers on the box now :-D

  • It might be good for us all. But all do not understand Italian that well or our understanding of Italian is very limited or non-existent. If so, this video is worthless.

    Can this be reposted with English subtitles or dubbing?

    Thank you.

  • He speaks very well, and very much to the point. He comes across as a man and an artist who has a very clear idea of what he is doing. Giacomini was an excellent musician and stylist. His stage diction is the best I have ever heard from a tenor. He takes the trouble to carefully sing the closed e's and o's, and the result is a very dignified presence, which conforms to his intelligent and musical singing.

  • Excellent observations, David. His register balance was splendid, as can be heard both from the sonorous richness at the bottom, & the laser like squillo at the top. The brilliant closed ee's & the focused bright oo's both rely on a correctly produced upper register. Oo's & ee's are not vowel sounds that can be 'boomed' in a full lower register after the voice has risen above the bridge. This is why many of todays baritones & tenors have almost indistinguishable vowel sounds & no vocal colours.

  • Semplicemente un Grande Maestro con Arte ma senza parte !!!

  • Grande Artista, grande 'persona'!!!

  • grande artista, grande 'persona'!!!

  • Nice shirt

  • Parole sante, maestro. (holy words). Very moving words, especially at the beginning.

  • Fantastico, grande.

  • Bravíssimo Maestro Giacomini!!! muitos se prendem à produção técnica mecânica e perdem de vista a expressão ....o conteúdo artístico, dramático, de verdade...a finalidade da música: emocionar !!!!

  • Thank you Agatarco!

    Thank you Maestro Giacomini!!!

    EXEMPLIS DISCIMUS

    "Lets learn by examples".

  • Thanks! now for the others please!

  • In a nutshell, he says you shouldn't go to the opera house wanting to judge a singer by how he will produce his high pitches, how he will do this or that technically, but rather you should go there to receive what the singer has within himself, what really counts, not what is visible outside.

  • could any body tell me if mr.giacomini give master classes???'

  • I wish someone could translate this into english
