Marechiare - Tosti -Tito Schipa w/Translation

[mark32646]

great video

[jrtrmish]

Truly one of the greatest if not THE greatest pure male lyric voices.

[nancywilken]

Schipa IS my fav tenor (have most of his recordings)--although was voice was small indeed, the technique is impeccable, annunciation incredible--and, as a former dancer, you are able to actually "dance" to his voice (understand he helped Joan Crawford when he was in Hollywood). Met Opera made the correct decision in choosing Gigli over him as he (nor Gigli later on w/his lyric tenor) could replace Caruso in 1921 (Gigli developed that sob to gain breath for dramatic roles, I was told).

[BigJiggety]

Bello bello ! Whatever happened to this gorgeous genre ?

[LaurisStephani]

La plus plaisante !

[birdtribes]

[angeloTass]

[TheWisemonkey8]

Great stuff.

[dncadnl]

Cando iscurto sas cantones napulitanas dae sa boghe de Schipa mi tocant de prus sos sentidos.

[PopeEdward]

I have always loved this song - how great it is to be Italian!

[fraluy]

Una de las facetas, entre tantas otras, en la que Schipa fue supremo, y en esta grabación queda patente, es el sentido del ritmo, el sentido de la cadencia.

La mayoría de tenores pecan en este setido, y ello les resta espontaneidad y fluidez al canto.

[archiloque]

Beautiful, very natural, full of simplicity. Reminds us that the "grazia" by tenors relies in the quality of the emission. A relaxed throat, a very elegant sound, make for a great singer who doesn't try to sing bigger than he is. He's using his mask perfectly, without projecting too much. The voice is so balanced, everything is at its right place. Then the music can play. Wonderful artist.

[Bizhan85]

WOAOW.

I love this kind of music.

...and to think that I wouldnt have found this without cs, heh! weird :-D

[biigzen]

A great interpretation...although my heart claims Luciano's as the best rendition of this song, Schipa nonetheless fails to disappoint. Very strong and upbeat. I really enjoy this rendition

[wnicholassi]

Schipa was a such a magnificent singer!

[reduxmisc]

yes he was....

[dclb1942]

Me gusta mas Luciano Pavaroti en esta cancion...

[ilser73]

Non diciamo bestemmie il caro Tito se lo mangia a colazione big Luciano, lui stesso lo potrebbe ammettere, se fosse ancora vivo.Che DIo li abbia in gloria ambedue.

[josemariasalvador]

Tito Schipa , che meraviglia , che commozione , che grandezza !, ringrazio mio padre che mi ha fatto conoscere questo artista . Pensate che la prima canzone che ho sentito da lui , è stata la Cumparsita. Ah come vorrei che l'Italia fosse tutta così con questi nobili o artisti!

Un abbracci Tito , Maestro sentimi cantare e proteggimi da lassù

[jacobsimon]

He had such beautiful frasing.

[mrevanmylo]

The first picture looks so very much like Jascha Heifetz. Only a picture. Many great renditions by Tito Schipa.

[jagsluiperd]

Schipa has such a beautiful, agile lyric voice - Pavarotti admired him greatly. His voice never disappears into the haze of vibrato like so many other singers' :)

[mayflash67]

Beautiful! Hear the Joseph Schmidt's version! Is very nice also!

[emilyromer]

Gracias!, hermosa voz, y grandioso tenor. Tuve el placer de conocer personalmente a su primo, en Argentina..., una familia maravillosa.

[CraigFrancisSoto]

Grazie mille Philly 1967 for posting the "Napolitano" lyrics to this wonderful tune.Che bellissima canzone e che bella voce.One of the best light,lyric tenors ever.He had marvelous diction and phrasing.Bravissimo Schipa!

[Philly1967]

Quanno sponta la luna a Marechiare pure li pisce 'nce fanno all'ammore

Se revotano l'onne de'lu mare, pe'la priezza cagnano culore...

Chi dice ca' li stelle so'lucente nun sape st'uocchie ca tu tiene 'nfronte.

Sti ddoje stelle li ssaccio i' sulamente, dint'a lu core ne tengo li pponte...

(Music by Paolo Tosti, lyrics by Salvatore di Giacomo, 1886)

Viva Napoli Capitale!

Viva Le Due Sicilie!!!

[olderngod]

Schipa is glorious! So is the "Marechiare". Together they are pricelss. Thank you.

[amerant1973]

una delle piu belle interpretazioni di questa mitica canzone napoletana

[darchimede]

Decisamente la più bella interpretazione. Schipa si conferma sempre come il più grande erede del gusto italiano nel canto.

[alexisbeauchemin]

[judizer]
