Zitto, zitto, piano, piano

[Makashi11]

This isn't bad however I would recommend five times over this the Abbado Cenerentola (1981). Type in "zitto zitto desderi" here on YouTube and view the one whose thumbnail is dark. It really is awesome from both Araiza and Desderi.

[gary52100]

Ahhh Rossini, che genio, cazzo!!!

[SparafucileDiMantova]

Diego Flores, Brillante, y aun pude superarse. Alessandro Corvelli en su cuspide, mas arriba no llegara. Es un excelente dueto!!!

[911jp]

nicely played and really good voices!

A pity it's not available.

So extra thanks for posting it!!!!

[AM642]

chiave positiva, mi scusi. Forse sono troppo progressista o troppo poco tradizionalista per la vecchia nonna cultura italiana, ma quella parola mi ricorda soltanto il marcio e la noia (e anche un senso di sconsolatezza) di momenti come quelli di questo video.

[AM642]

continua a gustarsi sonorità semplici e superate, senza volgersi, non dico alle avanguardie (per le quali occorre un'apertura mentale obiettivamente inarrivabile ai rossiniani), ma quantomeno ai filoni contemporanei "colti" più assimilabili a quelli antichi, come il rock progressivo, il post-rock, il rock sinfonico, l'elettronica di qulità e decine di altri generi e sottogeneri che sarebbe inutile citare a chi non ne è pratico. Non vedo in che modo il passatismo possa essere letto in

[Albuserveruspiton]

magnificamente fantastico

[Joestn77]

[LauraZubelzu]

Siempre Juan Diego tan impresionante...

[Darjaius]

Me encanta la voz de juan diego. Corbelli es un enorme actor comico. Y encima Cenerentola me enamoro de Rossini. Que grandioso y afable genio. Escribia felicidad.

[vazquezneyra]

Y a quienes estás viendo???

[theaitetosscience]

Ἀσύλληπτο!

[bodiloto]

zitti,zitti senza voce...

[musicarius]

What an incomparable pair! Surely the best version of this duo I have seen or heard.

[Wildlatinae]

Excelente

[cicco93B]

Corbelli è troppo simpatico!!! xD un baritono bravissimo in ambito di opere rossiniane buffe!!! xD bravoooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooo :):)

[mentesana98]

chi lo conosce sto pirla

[ioaletto]

Corbelli è GRANDISSIMO, ma come la sua interpretazione di Gianni Schicchi non ce n'è! XD

[Flaviat57]

Corbelli é fantastico, come sempre.

[fabiocasadeiturroni]

Grandissimo Corbelli

[gelsomina29]

does anybody knows the name of the men that represents dandini?

[Flobert55]

Alessandro Corbelli - Baritone

[gelsomina29]

thanks! love his voice!

[gelsomina29]

ame a florez!

[sousukesagaraJKD]

Florez is awesome! :)

[ligth95]

wow....

[joboy1992jesto]

where is this 4rm .. i like it!

[ViVaTijuana44]

I like it with a soprano

[tripekomin]

Pues lo siento pero el duo es para tenor y baritono...

[sebare]

@tripekomin que imbecil, I like it with a soprano!!! En ese caso me gustaria que Cenerentola fuese Bajo o Baritno pero no se por que no se puede!!!!

[idaspe]

@tripekomin Sumi Jo cantando Di quella pira, Hvorostovsky cantando Der hölle rache, ¿por qué no? jajajajaja! Excelente el duo-cuarteto, impecable :o)

[juliekremm]

@tripekomin yes it begins as a tenor/baritone duet but the ladies join them.

[SparafucileDiMantova]

@ViVaTijuana44 De que hablas Tijuana. Es un Duetto para Baritono y Tenor. Y este, particularmente esta muy bien conducido y perfectamente actuado y cantado POr Flores y Corbelli.

[michaelmartind]

I wouldn't be surprised if this was Corbelli's last Dandini. He's starting to look old for the part.

[zegermans750]

the costumes and hairstyles on the girls is almost identical to the movie version with araiza and von stade

[Arsace88]

Because Jean Pierre Ponnelle was the director of the film and of this piece... :)

[zegermans750]

well that certainly explains it

[PEAinSwe]

Excellent voices and superb feeling for the music!

[Luindriel]

All'amico la daro. Love that.

[Vielflieger01]

Francisco Araiza is the best Don Ramiro ever!

[puxex]

Araiza has so weight voice for rossini

[Torquemada0]

Araiza is a Don Ramiro with balls!!

[puxex]

for this character rossini needs a light tenor, because the character must has a young voice, Don Ramiro is very young and if you heard Araiza, look like older.

many people prefer heavy voices because sounds like "a real male tenor" as Domingo or Pavarotty but the character is not like.

[Torquemada0]

puxex, where is it writted that Mozart and Rossini tenors must have an androgin sound between castratti and angels? a Rossini tenor with a "male sound" is an asset!.

[puxex]

all experts says that florez is the best rossini tenor in our time. also in his time Luigi Alva was. the model to rossini tenor is Rubini who has a very ligth voice and very high notes, like a castratti but whit a natural voice. is not writted the history says.

[puxex]

Rubini had a ligth voice. he is death.

[Torquemada0]

purex, in the late 70s through the 90s Francisco Araiza was considered the best Rossini tenor. When the experts refer to JDFas the best in our time they mean 2000 - 2008 and the reason here is the lack of tenors in this period of time. I can assure you 2010 everything is looking different. You can see young tenors like Mironov, Camarena and Albelo in the Rossini repertoire already schedule to sing at the Met, Scala, Viena, Paris...they all have heavier voices and a better technique than JDF.

[puxex]

Araiza is a great singer one of my prefers singers, but I know that the best rossini in 80's was Rockwell Blake, he is a real specialist on Rossini. Araiza sings Mozart ,Verdi and Gounod, so he needs heavier voice, he is a spinto tenor whit high notes, the rossini tenor is described as a light tenor. also Mironov has a voice very similar to Florez.

[Torquemada0]

RW is a very good singer but he was allways considered behind Araiza. Araiza sang all the most important Rossini new productions in all big Opera Houses around the world, like La Scala where he sang the premiere of La Cenerentola that JDF sings today, Metropolitan , Viena, Salzburg Festival, Munich, Zurich, Tokyo, etc. FA also made the most recordings in that period of that time and he defined a new style of singing Rossini. That makes the difference between a great singer from a good singer.

[Torquemada0]

puxex, by the way, could you please tell me who describes the Rossini tenor a a ligh tenor and where? for sure not Rossini!!

[AnastasioFranco]

Sorry but fyi there is no such thing as a "real male tenor". The tenor voice as all voices are distinguished in categories depending on how dramatic or light they sound. On that basis they sing different repertory.

[puxex]

hablas español?

[AnastasioFranco]

unfortunately not

[mammuska48]

Fantastico!

[dctgfr]

Grandissimo Rossini,in ogni caso.

[eilseng]

This is awesome! Great video!

[pennapennapennapenna]

entrambi sono perfetti, ottimi attori e cantanti... anche clorinda e tisbe... per corbelli poi ho un'ammirazione sfegatata....

[AM642]

E' UN ORRORE. IO LO CENSUREREI

[gabhai7]

If you don't like it, don't watch it. Some people seem addicted to comment everything without having a slightest idea of what they're watching at all...

[dctgfr]

l'opera è per animi sensibili,non certo per gente abituata ad astruserie televisive...Se è un orrore,non guardarlo.Goditi i filmacci,le commediuole alla "salemme maniera",e quant'altro.

[AM642]

@dctgfr Hahah ho visto solo ora questa sclacinata risposta. Scusa ma a te sembra per animi sensibili "zitto zitto piano piano"?? Rossini???!!!! Non è altro che il pop di due secoli fa, non ha alcuna profondità intellettuale, la maggior parte di Rossini è musicalmente identica a se stessa e disastrosamente inconcludente. Per quanto riguarda gli intrecci, francamente Plauto due millenni prima aveva fatto di meglio. Non so che animo hai, ma questa per me non è musica per animi sensibili, ma pop.

[dctgfr]

@AM642 :l'immortalità di questa musica basta a rispondere al suo "scalcinato" commento."Profondità intellettuale"?.Questa è un'opera buffa tratta dalla fiaba di Giambattista Basile.E' una commedia!.Lei giustamente cita Plauto:se davvero conoscesse il commediografo latino,riconoscerebbe nelle opere musicate da Rossini i personaggi della commedia Plautina(Figaro =il servo scaltro,Don Bartolo =il vecchio brontolone,l'avaro) ed i Topoi della stessa commedia:intrigo amoroso,scambi di persona...

[dctgfr]

@AM642 ...2 l'agnizione...Ho l'impressione che lei non sappia di cosa sta parlando.Mi spiegherà poi che intende per "musica disastrosamente inconcludente"...

[AM642]

@dctgfr Ed infatti non riesco francamente a comprendere come un'opera del genere sia da definirsi per animi sensibili, mi sembra, come detto, il pop di due secoli fa. Se in Italia abbiamo ancora il festival di San Remo e una cultura musicale fra le più limitate ed ottuse d'Europa, il motivo è essenzialmente legato al retorico conservatorismo e passatismo del popolo che innalza a capolavoro quel poco che conosce.

[dctgfr]

@AM642 : sostenere che Rossini sia il "pop" di 200 anni fa significa,per caso,pensare che fra 200 anni si ricorderanno di Laura Pausini,Gianni morandi o chi so io? Se permette ne dubito fortemente.In Italia abbiamo una cultura musicale tra le più limitate d'europa?Lo dica ai vari Muti,Abbado,Ughi acclamati e richiesti in ogni angolo del mondo.Se la musica d'arte (o classica),ancora oggi,parla Italiano lo dobbiamo ai vari Rossini,monteverdi,paisiello,d­onizetti,verdi,bellini,puccini­.

[dctgfr]

@AM642 L'opera,in generale,è uno spettacolo per animi sensibili,adatto ai pochi che riescono davvero ad afferrare la grandezza di uno spettacolo "totale",che unisce musica,teatro e poesia.Conservatorismo e passatismo sono due termini bellissimi se per essi s'intende la volontà di preservare un patrimonio di inestimabile valore minacciato dall'ignoranza e dal pressapochismo(vedi i tagli al FUS del ministro Bondi).

[dctgfr]

@AM642 Poi,ognuno è libero di pensare come ritiene giusto.I gusti non si discutono.

[AM642]

@dctgfr Ma senz'altro non posso che essere orgoglioso dei successi dei nostri storici autori all'estero, ma noto con orrore che nella musica, come in buona parte del resto (politica, ricerca, economia..), l'Italia ormai giace mollemente sugli allori. E' dai tempi di Russolo che si avverte la necessità (sarebbe l'ora!) di un rinnovamento musicale nel nostro Paese: mentre il popolo continua a razzolare fra le avvilenti mostruosità commerciali del pop, la vecchia e polverosa classe "colta"

[wellbn1]

Corbelli è fantastico! Io l'ho vista dal vivo alla Scala! Una bellissima versione...

L'opera poi è un piccolo capolavoro, libretto e musica sono eccezionali!

[rottenear]

Dandini

Ma non diamo in bagattelle. *

Maritarsi a due sorelle

Tutte insieme non si può!

Una sposo.

[alva060358]

At the original Vocal Score it's written: "...Una sposa...E l'altra, e l'altra...all amico la daró..." Anyway I think it's a great performance on both artists.

[piasecznik]

Well, Corbelli was Dandini in virtually every good Cenerentola version of the last 25 years, so I think he knows what he does. I mean- the last part of Largo al Factotum is also different when you listen to different baritones (a te fortuna non manchera vs. fortunatissimo per verita)

[LeTraveler09]

Dandini messed up on one part. Instead of one female spouse, he wants one male spouse. "Una sposo", instead of "una sposa".

Oh well

[gabhai7]

He didn't mess it up at all. "Una sposo" means "I will marry only one" and not a male spouse. The singer is Alessandro Corbelli, an Italian himself, do you really think he'd make such a mistake in his native tongue? Don't criticize others before you know what you're talking about!

[tristan1865]

The libretto reads 'Una sposa', not 'Una sposo': obviously the subtitles here follow what Corbelli sang: either it was an error, or a change was made to the line, which is highly unlikely and inexplicable. Even for the 19th-Century audience 'Una sposo' would have sounded confusing, if not laughable ('Sposo una' makes sense, but in its inverted form it certainly doesn't). @gabhai7

[romafre70]

OMG, here is one comment that shows how ignorance can be deceived in a seemingly educated discourse. "Una sposo" is perfect italian, even nowadays. What is laughable and confusing (and dangerous) is the way people try to rationalize the limits of their knowledge. Di queste bagattelle e sciocchezze il mondo è pieno!! Che deficienti... Yours "libretto" was written by someone who didn't have a clue on what he was writing.

[fabiantenor]

That's the correct text from the critical edition, the explanation from gabhai7 is correct!

[cozmin1984]

great scene...

[rosacotton]

One of my favorite parts of Cenerentola. Florez sounds wonderful. Can anyone tell me who Dandini is? He's really good!

[LOVERofCLASSIC]

Excellent performance!

[Ortica2]

Ah, fantastic!

[cmorgan22]

We don't know what year this was recorded, but Florez gets better every time I hear him. And let's not forget Alessando Corbelli who virtually owns the rold of Dondini.

[clashguy]

The best belcantist tenor nowadays.

No doubt about that.

I can't wait to see and hear him this sunday in Barcelona in this role!

[goossensfrank]

hello, i fully agree with you !!! juan is simply the best !!!

how was the performance last sunday ? i'm going next wednesday january 2nd ... can't wait !!! thanks for your reply

frank (belgium)

[Spinple]

I like his Ah, mes amis better

[gabriellaelvira]

have you also the sextuor "questo è un nodo avvuluppato" with the interpretation of florez? thank you

[gabriellaelvira]

which edition is this?

[krakazyablya]

Thank you,tripekomin,for posting this!I`m a fond of Rossini`s music,and this is a great stuff!Florez is good,but who is the baritone?Have you got any other parts of this stage?Please,if it is possible,post "Un segreto d`importanza" and "Come un ape".Many thanks))

[tripekomin]

The baritone is Alessandro Corbelli

[yaso77]

Thank you very much, I am waiting for more

[yaso77]

what is it about? translation, anyone?

[Luindriel]

Ok- I could be wrong- but... You know the story of Cinderella? The two women are the evil stepsisters. I think the prince and his valet are pretending to be each other and the vain women are only interested in who they think is the prince. Sotto voce, piano piano is quiet voice, quiet quiet. I'm sure there's more to it. Perhaps someone else will be able to add more.

[Luindriel]

On the other hand, the older guy could be their father? I'm really not sure! I'll find out though, I just took this CD out of the library.

[EmilyGreene1984]

Yeah that's exactly it. :D Essentially, the Prince wants to test the women in the kingdom to make sure that the woman he marries will love him for his good character, rather than his wealth, power, and title. And so he and his valet, Dandini, changed places to test them.

[yaso77]

Juan is a good actor as well, isn't he? he is so good, very professional

[Luindriel]

This is cool! Can you please post when and where it was recorded? Is this from a commercially available DVD? Do you have more from it that you can post? Thanks for posting this!

[tripekomin]

La Scala, 2005, is not available, yes i have more and i will post (my english is very bad, jeje..)

[Luindriel]

Your English is molto bene. Io non parlo Italiano... Grazie per <posting> tutti gli videos! (vidii????) Mio Italiano is very bad... :)

[Luindriel]

Pero mi espanol es ok... ahora me doy cuento que eres de espana, no de italia! Estoy muy confundida como ves. Gracias por poner esto video. :)
