Gino Bechi - Toreador

[Kievest]

Absolutely thrilling expression, acting, naturalism, passion all wrapped in a

resplendent warm baritone voice of stunning upper range! Along with

Gobbi, one of the magnificent Italian post-war greats! Bravo!  Thank you

for posting and to ditogam for sharing!

These old singers, they always sang with such "compact" voices. Marvelous!

[svjatazarov]

his low notes are not good...but it`s the school de l`E! His high notes ARE magnificent!

[svjatazarov]

ре -- это переходная нота, она звучит тускло, на то и были 3 основные мировые школы пения, чтобы сглаживать эти гадкие переходные ноты, у мужчин их больше, чем у женщин

[Webarton]

[dpandov]

Does anyone know who sings Carmen? I'm just curious. Thanks!

[darragh21]

It is from a film (Mad about Opera, available at BelCantoSociety's site)...and yes, Bechi was a charismatic & exciting baritone. He also, post singing career, did a stint as an airline pilot!

[primobaritono]

I love how his voice is drenched with squillo !

[archiloque]

[zenich]

[steainsy]

wow!

[ultracam]

Which note did he interpolate at the end of the song, before the final F ? A flat? It was FANTASTIC!!!

[krakazyablya]

Yes,it was G.I love Bechi & his great voice.He is wonderful in Figaro & Rigoletto.And his As in the second Duetto with Gilda from Rigoletto is superb!

[DamselinaCrinoline]

This is a strange video--is it a bunch of people watching Carmen? (like the man in the suit who shushed everyone, and the guy with the opera glasses)

[Latinpapi574]

his pronounciation is great and he has a powerful voice..nice piece

[mrrk]

What a fantastic voice Bechi had. Thank you for this.
