Tito Gobbi - Il Barbiere di Siviglia - Largo al factotum

[marecarish]

Great

[olly809]

Stupendo!

[Sbalanco81]

la migliore versione

[TheDaiwafishing]

immenso tito gobbi...timbro possente tecnica e interpretazioni uniche!! uno dei piu' grandi di sempre se non il piu' grande

[FabioPBarbieri]

Buon Dio, quante volte abbiamo sentito quell "lalala" di apertura - eppure questo gigante lo fa sembrare nuovo e ribollente di allegria e vitalita'. Se c'e' stato un basso-baritono come lui, per non dire piu' grande, io non l'ho mai sentito.

[violetavalery]

he was so young here!!

[hannaALBARN]

lol everytime i hear this i think of Alex James on Popstar to Operastar

[FrancoMFT8]

Great performance!

Tito Gobbi is the best Figaro.

But Ettore Bastianini is also great.

[opopomozegerla]

bravissimo! :-)

[luciana76ify]

 meraviglioso!

[SINGULTOPAROSSISTICO]

pelle d'oca.adoro questo pezzo,di un'energia e di un'espressività eccezionali.

[lexusis220d]

this is sooo shit compared to gyorgy melis...

[Panoplie]

@lexusis220d I watched Melis' performance after seeing your comment , and it is indeed excellent.

[wysiwyg248]

@lexusis220d

It is if you expected Gobbi to sing in Hungarian, and stand still like a post.

This is the benchmark to judge all other Figaros on this area, not only for singing, but acting, expression and creativity.

[OscuroSupremo]

strepitoso 10 e lodeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[ducadimantova83]

mitico gobbi!!!!!!!!!

[OscuroSupremo]

stupendoooooooooo

[TheBosSauveli]

Wow what a performance!

[centaurea21]

Bravo, bravo, bravisimo!

[CateSoprano]

... e CHE ATTORE!

[AvastNoob]

Superbo. :)

[lucyllebalth80]

Spaventoso... Acuti quasi tenorili, estensione perfetta, agilità sovrannaturali e soprattutto caratterizzazione PERFETTA.... Ma quanto amo Tito Gobbi???? *_______*

[peque1204]

Genial!!! es genial!!!!... excelente!!!!

[NewHolland4everT6030]

Mamma mia...

[melkruspe]

Amazing. Just amazing. :O

[cosacegermano]

Probabilmente la versione migliore di tutti i tempi. Qualche volta dei tenori provano a cantarla, ma la caratterizzazione di un baritono puro è tutta un'altra cosa su sto pezzo. E Tito Gobbi, probabilmente, se non è il migliore, è sicuramente uno fra i più grandi di sempre, il padre di tutti i baritoni italiani. Grande pezzo e grande cantante. E' in momenti come questo che ringrazio d'essere Italiano!!!

[guerrierozc]

Commento espresso in maniera eccellente.

Concordo appieno con tutto quello che hai scritto

[gaiucciolakh2]

magnifico!!!!

[hiyadroogs]

Never ever heard this fiendishly difficult aria sung better by anyone. Superb vocal technique! Bravo! Tito!

[danimartins85]

Serie A!!!!

[SuperMarkova]

Incredibile!!!

[therussianprincess91]

Semplicemente sublime!

[MIMI5153]

Tito gobbi il baritono vocalmente superdotato Il BIG dei BIG

[PininAlpha]

Spettacolare, oltre l'audio che per essere del '46 fa invidia!

[bttfnn]

c'è tutta la follia italiana dentro e mi sentivo orgoglioso quando all'esete facevo il pizzaiolo e mi chiedevano di cantarla....

[cocolone5]

resterà tra i titani della lirica

[ledystory]

è la mia opera preferita dopo la regina della notte! wow

[mercuzio1986]

INEQUIVOCABILMENTE ECCEZIONALE!

[GiadBalGia]

Da brivido...

[akujikimoritsune]

Sono fiero di esser un baritono!!Grazie a te Tito.

[AtraniS88]

Immenso.

[MrGmfp]

la gente nn sa apprezzare questo genere e i n particolare questa magnifica opera

(ho 12 anni)

[TiochfaidArLa]

Per fortuna ci sima noi che resistiamo e diffondiamo

[violten]

tito, mi fai amare l'opera!

[stefanobelo85]

STREPITOSO,,,,,!!!!!

[baggio67]

uno dei migliori baritoni del mondo, veramente senza parole

[framadas]

[Pirtoy1]

[XanthiosXxX]

[boosniak]

clap...clap...clap...stupendo

[pirtoy]

perfetto!

[cicciojoker92]

semplicemente...FANTASTICO!!!

[jeanmolin55]

Tito Gobbi: irripetibile! Interpretazione eccellente! Nessuna sbavatura. Unica. In senso assoluto, tra le migliori esecuzioni.

[ElisabettaVS]

GREAT!

[dks880]

He made the music worthwile. It's worth every minute spent watching its majesty.

[Valmont2005]

enorme...

[miciadudu]

che dire....... divinamente strepitoso!!

[jp15sil24]

fantastique !

[Damianino85]

nessuno sa se hanno fatto un balletto classico con questa opera?

[AvrilVale23]

GREAT!! LOVE ìT!!  <3

[Exoudus1]

Un virtuoso senza compremessi. Magico!!

[Spathar]

This is Gobbi......The one and only.

[FabioPBarbieri]

STageoma... ma sei matto o che? Questo e' di gran lunga il piu' bel "largo al factotum" che io abbia mai sentito: teatrale, pieno di idee, rinnova una storia che credevamo sapere a memoria, e al tempo stesso e' atletico e incredibilmente virtuosistico. Questo e' genio canoro in azione.

[8evolutionking]

SEMPLICEMENTE UN MITO!

questa sì k è musica!!!

[slutter92]

daje!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[finnhere2]

One of the Great, signor Gobbi...

Can't help thinking what this might sound recorded with modern technique!

[stageoma]

hm..probably you are right.Its the sound of the recording really bad not Gobbi

[preruminator]

'The acting voice', wie Walter Legge ihn charakterisierte, wirkt zuweilen etwas scharftönig. Im Vergleich zu Ruffo und de Luca in der Höhe weniger voluminös. Aber in sich stimmig.

[FrancoMFT8]

I think Tito Gobbi and Ettore Bastianini the best Figaro's interpretations.

[stageoma]

Gobbi is great.But..this Figaro is not that good

[cuozzino7]

geniale

[Goliath1909]

awesome =)

[jounouchi123]

Uma das melhores versões que já vi!!

[brunnagobbi]

Viva Brasilllll!!!

[crstioherz]

Exelente Il Barbiere di Siviglia y principal si es interpretado por Gobbi sus Interpretaciones son las mejores."¡BELLO!".FIGARO FIGARO...

[radiactivo357]

i invite you to heard the version of Ettore Bastianini.

[brunnagobbi]

Este é meu tio avó!!!teu talento é raricimo...

Obrigado por mostrar o seu talento a nós.

[johntgr]

Viva portugal! :)

[forallyouknow]

One of the bes tversions.

[iblis78]

favoloso! interpretazione sublime

[jhvorotin]

The acting is UNREAL!!!

He changes his voice, once in falsetto, in it's really in the spirit of Figaro and the opera. His "a"'s are too open on high G and other high notes, though

[SaviourV]

This is, sadly, the song I would love to sing while I'm busy blasting my office up with Uzis.

I mean, when I'm really sick of my work, I sometimes WISH I could shoot everyone in the office while I'm singing this.

It's a great song, really...just that I'd abuse its beauty by using it the way I'm planning...^_^;;

[jessicajfk]

una delle mie opere preferite...come vorrei vederla in teatro...

[KonteUgolino]

Un mito, una voce bellissima!

[Ankhsnammon]

conte della Ghererdesca!Tanti secoli!qui l'arcivescovo ruggieri...

almeno concidiamo in questo:Tito è ineffabile..insuperabile..supr­emo cantante mattatore!!!

Io lo chiamo,a volte,il Gassman dell'opera...

[kalokagathia21]

Esecuzione esemplare

[ninuzzuingrassia]

fantasico!!!!qust'uomo è un mito!!!ha una voce a dir poco divina!!!

[giuseppesili]

Grandissimo Tito Gobbi...ha cantato ruoli anche diversissimi fra loro con la sua grande voce e il suo genio interpretativo....

[giusiette]

divino

[Aetion]

What a baritone and what an actor! The man was unbelievable!!

[eolopastoni]

SUPERBO!!! che grande interprete!

[ValerioBianconi]

Potente, Estroso, Esuberante, vitale e vibrante. Davvero un grandissimo artista per un pezzo immortale.

[francescoif]

non so perche tito gobbi lo abbia cantato mzzo tono sopra, so solo pero che questuomo ha una voce bellissima.provate a sentire gli altri cantanti che fanno la cavatina, fanno schifo!

[calopsyte]

uno alla volta PER CARITA'... w la mia Italia...

[rapeater]

In italy is not usual to make the cross sign out of churches. they knew it's spain.

[nadademuito]

ssssssuuuuccccaaa!!!

[gallo3d]

Bravissimi... Grande Rossini ... Grande Gobbi !! Bravo.... Figaro....

[pescatorew]

Titi Gobbi è il massimo interprete come voce e come attore, un vero artista .Nessuno attualmente lo eguaglia.

[jorjikia]

gobbi is a legend!!!!!!!!!!!

[Papageno00]

canzone?e l"aria di figaro,contadino

[zairarusso]

questa canzone mi piace tantissimo!!!!

[wysiwyg248]

zairarusso,

This is a piece (an Aria), not a song. Cretino

[Draco0589]

non mi piaceeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[gangaglietti]

peggio x te!!!

[epicondyles]

We got Guitar Hero II for Christmas, I named my band Figaro.

[Neonknight82]

Five stars to Giocchino Rossini and Tito Gobbi too!

[santcar1816]

Bravo Rossini!

Bravo Tito Gobbi!!

[paulostroff99]

A very great performance!

[nisticom]

wonderful interpretation. my only doubt is, could he do it while singing for real, and not in a movie?

[fitzwilliam46]

There is a wonderful colour film of the Barber with Gobbi, a little older I think and I have been trying to get it for years. The shop in Covent Garden Opera House London said they knew about it but so far I have been unable to source it, can anyone help. One way of identifying it is that the are ballet dancers all through the Overture. Derrick Fawsitt, Stamford England.

[wysiwyg248]

Forgot to point this.. Gobbi was such a perfectionist, that he even studied the habits and customs of the period. At 1:40 he goes to what is probably Virgin's Mary image, touches the candle and makes a cross signal. This is customary of Spanish speaking countries. Is it common in Italy?

[Geri97]

Italy, as in, home base of the Catholic Church. No, I can't imagine why they would make the sign of the cross there.

But the point is moot, because, as I would think you would know, Seville is a major city in SPAIN.

[wysiwyg248]

Geri97,

If you were raised in Spain or Latin America, you make the Cross Signal every time you pass a church or in front of a Saint Image. Unless you lived there, you wouldn't know. I asked if this is also a custome in Italy, if is not, then Gobi studied the habits before preparing for this part.

[GuittoInfame]

elderly people often do so.(especially in southern italy, that had for centuries the influence of spain)

[wysiwyg248]

Bravo Tito! Encore !!!!

Rossini had you in mind when he created this aria. Thank you for sharing this, I grew up listening to him but never seen him on this aria.

[LittlePasserotto]

bravooo!... he is a good actor and a very good singer...

[martadancer]

What a incredible interpretation!!! What a perfect stage dominium. His pirouette and the legs dancing when sitted by yhe fountain are simply marvelous.

[syrinx79]

Great rendition. Never heard it up a half step like this before though.

[rebusfan]

I think that's the recording quality rather than the 'actual' pitch.

[syrinx79]

Yeah, you're probably right on that. Seeing as how this sits pretty high for a baritone, why would he have wanted to make it even more difficult?

[Fozzymaple]

It does seem pretty high for a baritone, and in other recordings of Gobbi, his voice is noticeably lower, I would imagine though, some of that is do to aging. I think this is partly kind of crummy recording, and

[triade77]

Simply great, amazing voice.Awesome.

[Aetion]

No, Tito Gobbi had the possibility to change his voice throughout an extraordinary gama. That's' all.

[phantom4087]

It's playing at WAY TOO FAST a speed. Tito Gobbi has a MUCH darker timbre.

[hiyadroogs]

I have the video of this performance, it is correct. Gobbi had a bright ringing voice early on. It became darker later with maturity, time, & characterisation. In his youth his voice was very heady, & rang very clear & focused on high notes.

[stellabella6]

amazingggggggggggggggggggggggg­ggggg i LOVED it!

[jp15sil24]

where can we get the complete opera in video. i get this one with gobbi and callas, but on lp. I'd like the video

[TITO13ITALIAN]

Bel Canto Society, New York. You'll probably pick it up on the Amazon website - or eBay. Let me know if you have a problem.

[epicondyles]

He will probably be one of the greatest opera singers in history, he will be hard to beat.

[cykalox]

BESSSSSSST!!

[zakar67]

Grande baritono e grande artista!

[sefarbi]

What a treat to see this! I'd only seen videos of Gobi in performances in Tosca in 1957 and 1964. Thanks for posting it. What is the new one you refer to, Gabba02?

[archiloque]

One of the best largo al factotum ever. Leaves me speechless.

[pupulique]

There are always people who being useless in life can only spit on what a brilliant person does. It's a disease. They're ridiculous 'n they never understand that. Nobody's ever interested in their miserable 'n shameful feelings. Normal people just exchanging their opinions without insulting great names 'n anybody's feelings. The supreme Titan!

[rossarola]

amazing!

[ricordisimo]

jajajaja! the worts voice from all the history, and interpretation... there are n words... Increible, really the worst singer from all the history, thats for a little theater in a village that nobody knows...

[wysiwyg248]

"Ladran Sancho, senyal que cabalgamos"

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quijote.

Very appropriate indeed for a stupid comment like yours.

[7up4me]

WHAT A TREAT - to see him in his prime! WOW!

[Escarpialetto]

I know this aria and he was wonderfully creative in this rendition! Bravo Signor Gobbi!

[herminestover]

gorgeous and beautifully colourful voice. and he does make it look easy! one for the ages!

[smaceira]

Bravíssimo! That's a superb video! Thanks for sharing it!

[Gotthard38]

Sir , really great I am speechless..that is not only history also school.

[egrosz]

It was a great pleasure for me to watch your videos!

It is regretable that your account is suspended.

[Gabba02]

Well, I have made a new one.

[steainsy]

he looks so young. What a great video, he sounds pretty damn good as well.
