Watch @ 1.10 how the great Cappuccilli shatters that statuette using only the vibrattions of his powerful baritone voice ! Seriously, his intensity and ease with which he produced a beautiful legato made him one of the masters in the great tradition of bel canto.
The only thing that bothers me about him sometimes is the "oo" vowel...it sounds kinda thin/different from the rest of his voice. The note from 1:11 to 1:13 is an example. I mean it sounds fine, but thin in comparison to other vowels. I dunno. He's still one of my favorites, if not my favorite.
A very good interpretation. You can Cappuccilli compare with himself: Covent Garden (1975), Scala Milano (1978), Opera Gineva (1984, although this has diappeared at the moment) and Bratislava (1990). It is always a bit different, but he always so impressive. My favourite baritone of the Italian opera.
Thank you very much, incredible, like yesterday, how fast time passes- and now he has already passed away- the perfect interpretation- you cannot do it better!!!!
Quite good,even if I prefer the subtlety and the expression of Tito Gobbi,really the greatest,if not in power or volume,but in intelligent and expressive singing
Cappuccilli is still I glorify and insuperable. In the 90 Piero it was 64 years old.Its date of birth is always mistaken, he was surely born November 9 th 1926.Thanks for the rare video.
Come si puo'cantare ancora,a 64 anni,con fiati eccellenti,niente smorfie per aggiustarsi le note ,la voce NON BALLA.

Thanks for posting! I had not seen this one. I think the tempo is a tad slow, but overall, very nice.

I don't know why, but I love this recording especially for the slow tempi. It has a much more feeling for me..

Do you not think that singer and conductor were slightly out of sync particularly in the first phrase beginning "Eri Tu". Fantastic though.
