He sounds like a nice guy. I always thought he was a big shouter, but of course there is a lot more going on behind the scenes that we don't realise. And actually I have heard some songs which he has sung very poignantly
@flaze3 ...and the occasional part of an opera when called for, as well. In my listening, it seems as if he had to learn to sing differently for the studio -- though why he thought he might not be heard in the house I don't understand...!! The voice may not always have been beautiful but surely his artistry and musicianship were unassailable!!
@flaze3 Yes, indeed! "The World's Great Love Songs" album of his is a testament to that! On first hearing they can sound 'shouted' but later on you realize that a huge, dramatic voice such as his could not do them otherwise. somehow I doubt that any lady (esp) could resist him!!
cazzo questa intervista però è tristissima... lui parla come se dovesse morire da 1 momento all'altro... :-( però è bellissimo quando dice che è soddisfatto di aver espresso se stesso con la sua voce e la sua arte! ottimo! :-D
He was a great human being, bravo!! I like his voice very much - I wished to see him on the opera and singing also the Armenian Opera Anoush, which needs also very dramatic tenor voice likes Mario Del Monaco's one.. Italians must be proud on him, don't listen only Eros Ramazotti and Laura Pausini please!
Grazie maestro per tutta la tua arte, per la tua voce meravigliosa!! Del Monaco e Di Stefano, uno dramatico, un'altro lirico, la gloria della opera Italiana!!
We,the mere mortals,can only imagine how does it feel for him in the old age cause he was the greatest voice, incredible artist,man universally admired.Everywhere where he went to perform only the best could be heard of him.I guess that such great people really have to find the way to cope with it,with the fact that their best days are history, that they cant do it anymore.But I also guess,that its great feeling to know how big is your legacy,that you wont be forgotten,surely a soothing feeling.
Che UOMO,che ARTISTA!
IMMORTALE,SUBLIME MARIO DEL MONACO!

He has such a gentle speaking voice, but such a powerful singing voice.

Kind time! Very much I ask to remind the song name with which this record - the name and the composer begins, a memory blackout)

He was THE GRATEST OF THEM ALL.

I get the distinct impression that MDM must have already been in failing health by this time. Can someone fill me in??

Great Mario Del Monaco!!, this interview is a classic.
A great neapolitan singer (whatever it is nowadays).

I have viewed this interview several times. It is truly quite gripping, as you view the man and the fact that he truly misses singing. What a TENOR.
