E. Bastianini "In bracio al mio rival" Il Trovatore

[Enobara]

Yay! I was at this performance in Tokyo 1963 October! I was just a little kid, but fell in love with Bastianini. Since then, I am following his image in all the guys.  I cannot believe he had already cancer in his vocal cord that time and under secret treatment at Swizerland.

bruno marangoni is my mother's uncle!

[Operafiend22]

Great singers here...all of them. Never heard of this mezzo before...TERRIFIC!

[chengducat]

Yes, his voice lights up all the senses

[Achbar]

Where can i get this video?

[billyguns2]

Bastianini's voice actually physically excites me, as does Franco Corelli's.

[marokt]

Who is tehis excellent bass?

[izar1234]

He's Ettore Bastianini. He's a baritone, not a bass. He started out as a bass, but that means no more really than the fact that Bergonzi started out as a baritone or Marilyn Horne started out as a lyric soprano. Thankfully for us, they all found their true fachs. And there are many, many others with similar stories.

[marokt]

No, no, I mean Ferrando. Of course I know, that Bastianin began as a bass.

[bAdAbAdA13]

Ferrando is Bruno Marangoni.

[marokt]

Thanks! Sometimes you can find fantastic, and absolutely unknown singers. Listen the Killer in the Brindisi of Macbeth with Bruson and Sylvia Sass.

I was under the impression that a fach was a category or repertoire that was suited to a particular voice type, and not a voice type in and of itself. The Germans, who use (or used) the fach system had a series of roles and opere that your voice type was best suited for. It was not intended to identify a voice type.

OMG!! I didn't know this video existed. Your video clips are so wonderful, Onegin. I would give anything to see the full opera!!

!Gran Bastianini,muy buena Azucena y me gustó

mucho la puesta,bien clásica.

[OperaBR]

Hey she's an excellent mezzo. I knew her only by small roles in some studio recordings, but she's a really good Azucena. What a pity Bastianini doesn't sing more in this video, IMHO his timbre is the most beautiful among all baritones.

Danieli sings Suzuki to Callas's Butterfly in the Karajan recording. Hardly a bit part, and a sign of the high esteem in which she was held.
