What do you mean? Have you ever seen or listened to Gobbi as Gerard? I cant remeber a it. Gobbi was Scarpia, Jago, may be Rigoletto, but I don#t think he was an unforgettable Gerard like Cappuccilli.
You might think so, I don't. You can compare Cappuccilli with Bastianini in this role. But each time has its special singers. How often did you see Cappuccilli or Gobbi on stage? You cannot compare only you tube appearances. I like Gobbi, but I don't think he would have been a better Gerard.
Almost broke character with the amount of applause. LOL! This is and will always be the best rendition of this aria, in my opinion. Milnes and ponns dont even come close. Forgive my terrible spelling.
The first one I heard singing this aria was Cappuccilli and no other singer has yet satisfied me with his voice, Cappuccilli is the only one for me for this role.
Same here. The ovation lasted 5+ minutes. I've heard several great baritones perform "Nemico," but Cappuccilli takes it into a whole new dimension, heart-rending, supreme opera. We see and hear the demons of love, Revolution, & Reign of Terror at war within him. What a tragedy his auto accident. Domingo in the role of Chenier, If I were allowed only one DVD in my life, this would be it. Oh to be present at the performance, I'd have paid my life savings!
It is just wonderful. Nobody who was in the opera that evening will ever forget ist. He had the greatest and longest applause in spite of a very good Domingo as Chenier.
I prefer this version over Protti's. In my opinion, Cappucilli seems to have more dramatic variation between lines, heavily dependent on the meaning. I say this with the realization that I'm growing to be a fan of Cappucilli's work, as I grow in my own singing.
Cappuccilli, la voce piu' bella di baritono della sua generazione.ottimi i filati,perfetta impersonificzione del personaggio,acuti molto buoni, che dire un fenomeno. grazie
Yeah, its an old story, but sadly the people still buys it today.. Think about the timelessness of the opening lines. Still very accurate in these times...
Oh yes, I also agree with you. Cappuccilli was really a fantastic baritone. He sang in the Unites States but only once at the Met. May be this was due to Sherill Milnes and a bit of jealousy.
He sang this aria amazingly at a gala in Vienna - checkout on YT: watch?v=c9hc-P3JugY&feature=related (directly after Milnes had sang Eri Tu) and brought the house down with 2x amount of applause and bravi. It was the final showdown and final truth of who was the master! Cappuccilli rulez!
Yes this is true. I was present at this gala too. cappuccilli was the heroe of the evening and there were great singers there: Domingo, Ghiaurov, Baltsa, Gruberova, Nilsson, Rysanek..
I agree totally! Oh my lord, he would have had at least another ten good years were it not for the auto accident that ended his career. One lifetime Met performance. What's with them? Europe's greatest Verdi baritone, and they give him one performance!!!
Opera does not get any better than this! Cappuccilli is able to express every nuance of meaning, both with his voice and his physicality. He was without doubt, one of the greatest. Bravo!

@Krawi6 doesnt matter that Gobbi never sang this role, Gobbi would have done this more beautifully. Guaranteed.

@mediterraneo1000 He and Ruggero Raimondi are two of my favourites! Did you try him out? He doesn't sing this aria, but does great other stuff.
I love Cappuccilli. Especially in Il Tabarro he does a great job, I put him to my favourite Micheles along with Tito Gobbi! :D

the well-deserved applause for this aria goes on for
ages. At one point, Cappuccilli winks at Santi as if
to say, "We nailed it!"
