Giuseppe Scandola & Maria Chiara - AIDA - Ciel, mio padre

How sad that this is the only video of Scandola on YT, but I am most grateful. Thanks

It's one the best Nile's scenes who I have seen.Maria Chiara has the possesion of a phenomenal dramtic voice,and Scandola,well,to add something over his Amonasro it's only redundant.

Oh my God, this is the best Verdi baritone i have ever heard! I stumbled across the VHS in a library today. Pity there aren't more recordings of him.

A tremendous voice! What was Scandola missing? I can't figure...

@XP11XP A fat record contract with either DECCA or DGG I guess. Then he might have had a career like Cappuccilli who (let's be honest) did not have half the voice of Scandola.

@AfroPoli Very sad, not to talk about Wixell, Fischer-Dieskau etc. who always got to record the big Verdi roles. I agree, Scandola is magnificent. Very nice upload!

@AfroPoli Having a cannon for a throat does not make a career alone. If he had half the finesse of Cappuccilli he would have indeed become #1.
