Sorry to read of his death. RIP Giangiacomo Guelfi

[sezgin86]

Can you please upload "Triumphal March" from this recording?

[Auxxsr1]

Perfect example of "they don't make them like this anymore"

There is no baritone today that is even half of Guelfi"

The best we have is Hvorostofski who cannot sing Rigoletto,Scarpia or Macbeth

because his voice would be drowned out. What have we endured for the last

15 years is Juan Pons BLECH

si fa fatica a credere che ci possano essere state interpretazioni come questa!

Ma Giangiacomo Guelfi è realmente esistito, ed a cantato in questo modo, con

questa potenza interpretativa ( per non parlare della voce; impressionante.

ესეთი არაფერი მომისმენია! სასწაულია ჯან ჯაკომო გუელფი! ლეილა გენჯერიც ძალიან მაგარია!

Amonasro impressionante!!! Per bellezza di canto e interpretazione vera!...così come la Signora Gencer Aida di rilevanza storica...cari saluti

@Aimiklingsor93 Maybe you have listened to the clip where Leyla Gencer recalls that moment where Guelfi went for that big F# and held it forever? She was pissed! But what a moment it was! The audience went wild...and for good reason. This is what opera is all about...the big thrill...and he knew how to deliver it. She did, too.

Una coppia del genere... auguriamoci di rivederla . saluti

[bodiloto]

Sublimi entrambi !Grazie !

I absolutely never tire or watching this clip and listening to Guelfi's marvelous performance. Truly awesome. Mille grazie again AfroPoli.

I swear, this should be required listening at EVERY vocal music school. Most young singers have NO idea that this kind of singing is even POSSIBLE. Just look at the number of hits this clip has gotten, and then check out Bocelli! Ha ha.

This is singing of the first order. OMG...I can listen to this every day.

[muzetta100]

You so right!!!!

[Operaddict]

Monumental singing. Truly a document of how Aida should be sung. Thank you for giving us such a thrill with these clips!

[linguini9966]

I can't stop listening to this... I just keep rewinding to the middle section with those glorious F#s again and again. Guelfi... what a vocal giant!

[CraigFrancisSoto]

I've seen this video several times now and the more I see it,the more captivated I am by the sheer size and marvelous resonance of Guelfi's voice. In my opinion,he's in a class with the great Bastianini. Tante grazie AfroPoli for sharing these clips with us. They are rare and truly superb. Bravissimo Guelfi e Gencer !
