Vesti La Giubba - Louis Gentile

[operadude48]

This is really bad. No wonder Lou Gentile is long forgotten.

[MrXnews2]

Amazing! This is probably the best recording of this piece out there! Shame that the "soccer-player" mentality discouraged you from performing as much as you may have done otherwise. I mean, what other version of this scene has Canio struggling with two men, after which they leave and he throws a knife?

[danengs]

Absolutely stunning and profundly moving performance. Intense pain and passion brilliantly executed. Bravo Maestro!

[5lui5]

I say u jump right back in! Make a name for yourself, u have the talent! No one will be able to stop u but yourself.. Thank u for sharing this great performance.

[Oberon90]

What a true heldentenor!What a true and natural voice in general!Ringing high notes.What a force in performance.This is how opera should be sung, sung from the heart:)Why is there no "Verismo"-CD of this stupendous singer,but one with Kaufmann??? Things are going wrong in the World of Opera..Greetings from Berlin.

[VictoriaVenom]

This is incredible. One of the best, truly. Thank you.

[HersheysKisses637]

Oh my God, you're going to make me cry. I'm getting the chills all over. I'm so depressed... in a good way. If that is possible. You are incredible.

[ZCast1]

You are high for backing off! You are brilliant! From one Tenor to another, please do not give up. Not only can you sing, but I don't know if I have ever seen a portrayal like this one ever. Bravo Gentile!!!!!

[luigentile]

@ZCast1

My sincerest thanks for your warm and generous words. It was a magical time and it almost seems like a different life that someone else lived. Still, it warms my heart to think I can still touch someone through these memories! Thank you again!

[MrXnews]

Excellent rendition! A very unique and well-done performance overall!

[Gaussdxdydz]

lovely, but I do miss the white paint on the face and the robe in the hands..

[IxAmxSpartacus]

Lovely!

[DonPaolissimo]

Whatever happened to this man? Mr. Gentile should be singing Otello in the major theaters today!One of the greatest, hair-raising interpretetions I've ever seen/heard. The end gave me goose-bumps.

[luigentile]

This man thanks you for your praise. This man also got very tired of the soccer player mentality that rules in the opera and art world today and backed away from it all a bit. Very best wishes!

[DonPaolissimo]

Not certain what is meant by "soccer player mentality". But, in any event, this is a voice full of Italianate involvement, intensity & passion that has been long missing from these roles, & I would love to hear in Otello!

[chuckdontgiveaphuck]

please elaborate on the "soccer player mentality" if you don't mind.

[memokin06]

[brouvi]

BEAUTIFUL!!!

[Yoni89]

nice voice, love the knife throw.

Excellent tenor.

[SKimzeyDaniels]

How are you, Louis? How's Eitorf-Merten-Bach? I was so lucky to have lived there and become acquainted with so many wonderful people.

[SKimzeyDaniels]

You are a hopeless romantic!

[gmmood]

Very enjoyable!

[josuemaia]

Bravo!

[HistoryGeek4U]

Awesome. Just awesome.  This part of Pagliacci always makes me feel like crying because I can't help but feel sorry for Canio.

Hope to see this guy at the San Diego Opera sometime.

[hansquad]

Wow. the knife throwing there is super cool! haha. but the singing is i think too careful.. still Mario del Monaco's Tokyo performance is the best.

[mobiletone]

encore, encore! fantastic.

[udilio]

Bravo!

[PhoenixaSol]

This deserves no less than 5 stars! Bravo!
