Mario del Monaco - Figaro

[distan]

Frighteningly dreadful, rude and tin-like. Has Figaro to yell all the time?

[babeVchris]

Super

[orangie84]

ha ha..

At times he sounds as if Danny Kaye is singing it!!

[bunniesinmyhead]

this is a baritone piece...it's interesting to hear it sung in a tenor's range by one of the greatest tenores who ever lived... thank you for posting!

[Aetion]

There is another video on YT showing MDM singing the song of Toreador (Votre Tost) from Carmen! :)

I cannot understand why he was singing these baritone parties. Probably just for fun.

[jmfpk]

i really like this.

My favourite preformace for Figaro, or whatever this song called.

3:25-3:30 is very funny for me - only Mario could put such a note in such a way! (I think)

[VPTS1]

I dont agree with jmfpk.Tsere was a singer in the USSR - Muslim Magomaev.He made this aria much more better, then Mario.

[dilvishselar]

Magomaev was a good singer, but he did not hade an opera voice.

[gregilgar]

No vamos a descubrir a Del Monaco cantando casi todo bien menos esto. Esta mal cantado así de sencillo. Discutir la voz de Del Monaco es ridiculo. Supongo que la Furtiva tambien la cantará igual, y no todas las operas se pueden cantar de la misma forma.

[gustavodzo]

absolutlely amazing!!!

[neronnenn]

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.........­

[bacassa]

Absolutely AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GermanOperaSinger]

Yes, this was not very good. Although better than any other tenor could have sung it.

[raythetse]

what the hell was that at 3:26

[coralrabida]

Te refieres al falsete? muchos lo hacen.

[raythetse]

don't understand what you said, except falsete must be falsetto... it was rather ugly falsetto though, should not have been there haha.

[hiyadroogs]

What the hell was that all the way through? Truly awful. Mario has no facility for singing an aria like this. He should stick to shouting & bellowing his way through late Verdi.

[brucolino]

lol i totally agree with u! that was out of place

[radiactivo357]

Mario era grandisimo no se porque diablos no hubo mejores arreglos de esta opera... que desgracia.

[gerardotapiamojica]

brillante , es uno de los grandes

[OperaGhost1990]

SUPERB!!!! MADE MY DAY!

[sebreathnach]

This is the kind of character that brings out the best in Del Monaco; it gives him scope to let fly with his enormous dramatic talent for exageration, characerisation and playfulness...Excellent. Thank you!

[Otilia1943]

Mario del Monaco es uno de mis tenores favoritos, pero hay que reconocer que esta ópera no es para él.

[RigobertoOrozco]

esque este papel es para barítono

[luisenes]

bueno RIGOBERTO esto habla del por que el baritono es muy cercano al tenor dramatico y viceversa,es muy comun que baritonos canten algunas veces papeles de tenores dramaticos y estos a su vez de baritonos,en la opera ha habido baritonos que saltan hacia tenores ligeros o dramatico o liricos,sin embargo esto no esta mal visto siempre que un cantante maneje correctamente el papel,JORE NEGRETE en mexico siendo baritono cantaba algunas canciones en clave de tenor sin ningun oproblema,porq?no se.

[subway03]

Puxa, quem imaginaría? O grande Del Monaco perdendo-se no ritmo? Precisa quantizar os "la, la, la´s"... è engraçado ouvir isso. Caiu o mito.

[titanquest92]

come interpretazione non piace molto anche a me però bisogna tener conto che soltanto MArio con la sua estensione avrebbe potuto eseguire un'aria da baritoni

[eduardo19911]

como se llama esta aria

[cotenor]

largo al factotum.

[cotenor]

largo al factotum.

[neduddki21]

I adore Del Monaco, but this was a very poor rendition.

[ChristophGF]

i wish i could do such a poor rendition :)

[vincitor]

agreed! :) still an amazing voice!

[arredifestivi]

Figaro è un baritono, Del Monaco un tenore....che cacchio gli è venuto in mente di fare???

[harugreenleaf]

Carlo331:

Stranieri scrive:interpretazione orrenda

[harugreenleaf]

Es increíble como teniendo tan buena voz, interpreta tan mal esta pieza, no sé pero creo que debería haber escuchado un poco al Figaro de Ettore Bastianini...

Reitero, tiene buena voz, pero evidentemente Fígaro no es para él.

[izzigogo]

FANTASTICO

[allanaki]

Adoro Del Monaco ma in questa esecuzione è veramente becero. Concordo pienamente con Carlo331

[jerramy]

Why does this always remind me of Buggs Bunny?

[rafo4ever]

Me parece que esta muy mal cantada, se adelanta mucho y su tono no le ayuda mucho

[Tabo100]

mal cantada, se adelanta mucho? uy no tenes idea de la musica flaco, perdoname pero va para atras

[carlo331]

Disgustoso, interpretazione orrenda.

Ma perché gli stranieri che scrivono commenti non capiscono un cazzo?

[THETIKOS]

Excellent voice with volume and precision. I admire him immencely.

[pearlmuth3]

I saw him live at la scala in 59' sing Otello, big voice out of a short but handsome slim guy, really great dramatic tenor. Very hot singer in the dramatic rep.

[mcotecheski]

Expressa a eternidade de uma música inesquecível.:

[baritolo]
