Mario del Monaco "No, pagliaccio non son"

[luwaig1]

peccato che non sapeva modulare la voce,la sua voce era tutta sul forte.

[rosca04]

one of the last gods...

[muchogustavo1]

@rosca04 from 5:40 to 5:55 you can hear a REAL THUNDER ON THE SCENE.....

[AriodanteITA]

Voce o non voce, tecnica o non tecnica...un cantante d'opera è anche e soprattutto un attore, benché spesso lo dimentichino.

Non mi sento in grado di giudicare il cantante sulla base dell'esecuzione, però è innegabile che Del Monaco partecipasse al dramma con tutta l'anima, come dimostrano le grida finali, coinvolgendo anche il pubblico che non resiste ed applaude a scena aperta...nonostante la qualità video,secondo me, una delle scene più belle mai viste.

[Mr19841504]

superb....i like when he says: couragio! king DEL MONACO

[thefranzpippo]

Del monaco aveva il dramma nel sangue!

[sugarbist]

The staging director would not give him a real knife.I wonder why?

[hswatnik]

Put it in the time capsule!!

[OSMFANful]

Really great performance!Perhaps the best Canio.Gabriella great too.Thank you for posting this great historical video.

[melkruspe]

15 ignorants that believe Paul Potts is a tenor. MDM bravissimo!!

[P1B1U1H1]

This really, really is a great DVD. For one thing, you will see as never before how Japanese nineteenth century Italian peasants really looked.

[octopussy51]

Mario grandioso ! Una pioggia di applausi

[matt7178]

Madonna Santa questo si che è VERISMO!!

[2ndAveLine]

Mario is pure electricity here- his voice is the current that carries this opera. The greatest Canio then, now, and forever. At 4:20, he shreds your heart to pieces!

[jacac]

La comedia è finita! ¡Qué grande del Monaco! ¡Verdaderamente tremendísimo!

[erodriguezs]

If I had had the good fortune to see and hear something like this representation, my life would be better. What a beauty, strength and passion. Today we only have the memory of these wonders, they will not hear anymore in an opera house.

Si yo hubiera tenido la dicha de ver y oir algo como esta representación, mi vida sería mejor. Qué belleza, fuerza y pasión. Hoy sólo nos queda el recuerdo de estas maravillas, las mismas que no se oirán nunca más en un Teatro de ópera.

[matt7178]

chi sono i 15 somari che hanno messo "non mi piace"?!?!?!? VERGOGNA!!!!! Del Monaco eri un grande!!!! Per me sei stato il più grande interprete dei "Pagliacci"!!!!!!

[sstemberg]

bravaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa gabriella tucci

[sstemberg]

personalmente he visto a del monaco, vicker, corelli, pavarotti y prefiero al dueto domingo-stratas

[sstemberg]

esta opera es muy generosa para lo actores, hablamos del tenor y nos olvidamos de la excelente actuacion de la soprano (this opera is very generous for actors speak the men and forget the soprano acting) sorry for my english

[andrea1956able]

Non mi intrometto nella questione musicale perché non sono un esperto, ma quale presenza scenica, quale magnetismo e quale potenza di voce aveva il Maestro.

[Luigi43Z]

Prestazione a dir poco esaltante. AscoltareM.D.M. dal vivo deve essere stata una esperienza veramente unica.

[causabon99]

Corelli is by far better, as is Jon Vickers. Vocal colour and passion, lacking in the over-rated Del Monaco. To make a comparison: Del Monaco is the histrionic Olivier to the precise intelligent genius of Richard Burton. With Del Monaco it's all facade and emoting. With Corelli and Vickers, it's grindingly from the heart. As for Domingo et al. - understudies.

[Mr19841504]

to watch this on a live stage....man it will keep you on the edge of your sit! ENCORE MR. DEL MONACO!!!!

[svjatazarov]

очень сильно!!! во всех отношениях!!!!

[operachad]

OK....Now THAT is how opera should be sung and performed.

Unbelievably phenomenal Del Monaco.

[55werther]

Despues de ver este video, creo, estoy en una duda; siempre crei, a Del Monaco,

como El Gran Otello, pero, despues de verlo, como Canio, creo, Que Otello, tiene,

ahora, un competidor muy serio. Se entiende Que me parece Soberbio en los dos

roles.

[55werther]

¡¡¡Por Favor Que Adrelanina!!!... Del Monaco en un momento Supremo. Realmente

Todos Extraordinarios, Pero, A El Que Grandioso Se Lo Ve. ¡¡¡Exelente!!!

[ejpace07]

The power , the tone, emotion, Stupendous

[brik880]

per me il piu grande tenore drammatico di tutti i tempi,peccato che non lo si ricorda mai al contrario di altri tenori minori

[MARISOLDELMONACO]

Mario del monaco e' il mostro sacro della Lirica.

Nessuno al mondo come Lui.

[ThePRINCIPERADAMES1]

GODO!

[humangeorge]

Great!

[JCLAWS]

what is all this talk of Domingo being even near Del Monaco. Domingo is a great total musician, but a sub par/barley adequate voice for almost every role. He is not even a real spinto, he is a lyric with bad high notes and a strangles kemit the frog standard neck tie tenor sound. Del Monaco Roars like a lion, true italian Dramatic Tenor with Ring everywhere.

[TheVoicelesson]

@JCLAWS Agreed, Domingo has a nasal stangled sound, whereas here you can hear a big open and free tenor voice: a REAL tenor, that is!

[gonzalordm]

Domingo es de lejos mejor. PAra empezar, Del monado está exagerado aquí, simple por un lado y buscando efectos elementales en otros momentos, pero poquitísima expresión, musicalidad inacabada, y una vocalidad, si, un metal, pero no del todo agradable. Los agudos levanta la mano, què es eso?... Una forma antigua de hacer ópera. No, no me gusta, pues es, además, un entendimiento mediocre del rol. Domingo, como Canio, es muchísimo mejor, en todos los aspectos, y como entendimiento del rol.

[andyroma72]

@gonzalordm me encanta domingo es grande pero DEL MONACO ES EL REY

[MARISOLDELMONACO]

@gonzalordm No puedo creer que comentario tan absurdo.

quien eres tu para criticar a uno de los mas grandes de la lirica italiana, mas aun de la lirica mundial.

apaga y vamonos.

[federic017]

@gonzalordm Io le do ragione...perchè credo che una persona che scrive su youtube commenti del genere...vuol essere soltanto provocatore...saluti

[Pioooojo]

Mario Del Monaco...Sei grande! Ti amo!

[goldenthroat86]

As great as Domingo is, he was a spinto...never a true dramatic tenor like Del

Monaco or Corelli. Mario wasn't always the most refined singer, but remember, dynamics are relative to the individual voice. Mario's MF was Domingo's FF. Next to Otello, Canio is the most dramatic tenor role in the Italian rep. Loud, louder, and loudest is often necessary in the dramatic tenor roles to be heard over the heavy orchestration. .

This is verismo after all, not art song. La voce, la voce, la voce.

[hibyeeee2]

@goldenthroat86 Wasn't Corelli a spinto

[HeshamElGuingy]

the best tenors del monaco, corelli, di steffano and alagna

[eudora66]

Absolutely the best Canio

[lucyllebalth80]

Oddio, che voce... Che voce... Come vorrei poterlo ascoltare dal vivo una volta, una volta sola... Non chiederei di più.

[violafinoalmidollo]

@lucyllebalth80 Io ho avuto questa fortuna.. due volte, sempre al San Carlo di Napoli, la prima nel Sansone e Dalilah di Saint-Saens e la seconda (in serata di grazia visto i 20 minuti di applausi) nell'Otello..Cose che restano per sempre

[xafnndapp]

The voice itself was big, dark and impressive, but I find his way of singing, his taste, his lack of musicality and his over-the-top acting and phrasing absolutely ANNOYING!

La Tucci was fantastic, really underestimated!

[Mattiafederer]

La commedia... È finita!

[PrincessBraindead1]

I would ask him to marry me if he were still alive!

What an adorable singer he was!

[31122051]

Del Monaco, piaccia o non piaccia, rimane e rimarrà una delle più grandi voci drammatiche della storia.

[muchogustavo1]

@31122051 INCANTATO DALLA POSSANZA DELLA VOCE E DALLA RECITAZIONE DRAMMATICA! SPLENDIDO DEL MONACO!

[AtaGiacomini]

Coraggio!!!

[nintforce]

nedda, nedda , NEDDA!!! a final full of power and sorrow, del monaco is awesome

[FilippoBass]

DEL MONACO FOREVER ONLY YOU!

[rockgor]

In the l960s I was an usher. Heard all the great singers at the Met except del Monaco and Callas. I suspect del Monaco sounded even better live. I know Corelli did. It is really amazing that two such similar tenors should have been around at the same time. I think Tucci only made two studio recordings. Can be found on live recordings however. Wonderful soprano.

[xarissof]

La comedia e finita

bravo maestro

truly marvelous as usual best kanyo ever i.m.o

[kh3205]

Del Monaco is overwhelming here. My surprise is Tucci. For a long time, I had thought her voice rather small. Now I realize that her voice was simply smaller than Tebaldi's, Rysanek's, or Stella's, but much larger than many, especially recent "spinto" sopranos. As Nedda, she might be too strong for Pavarotti's or even Domingo's Canio. For Del Monaco, she is a perfect match.

[cleanears]

AMEN!!!!!!!!!! Mario = GRANDE GRANDE GRANDE

la Tucci - bravissima! Protti... etc etc. Noone around today!

[31122051]

Che meraviglia !

[xarissof]

The most amazing thing is that you can still hear him

screaming out loud his additional lyrics above the orchestra and the crown applauding truly marvelous

[aoknponte]

Del Monico ha voce di forza e di fuoco con che ti tocca e ti rallegra il cuore.

[rexeterna]

italians and japs together again at last

[gnativerson]

my 2 cents =incredible including MDM's acting as Canio completely loses it around 5:13 in this clip - Tucci was/is wonderful and Protti's effortless big baritone and stage presence in this clip was/is terrific - - Mario Del Monaco is the greatest (but I also like Kozlovsky for different stuff)

[rexeterna]

protti is the best!!!

[nathaniel522]

wast that Jan Peerce as harlequin?

[gaytenor]

nathaniel522: No, no, no!!!!! Jan Peerce didn't do second fiddle to ANYONE and at 77 he had more voice than harlequin. It may surprise you but Peerce was a VERY BIG STAR in the day. Get some reissues of Peerce in opera and listen to the stuff on youtube and ask yourself why would that voice sing second fiddle to DelMonaco's braying at the moon or something. Peerce was a great singer with a great voice.

[xarissof]

The most amazing thing is that you can still hear him

screaming out loud his additional lyrics above the orchestra and the crown screaming bravo

[Pagliaccio1970]

How anyone can say that MDM was not the greatest Canio amazes me - i think that even his acting and expression is great considering the emphsis on acting is a lot greater in modern day opera than was the case back then....

[gomongio]

Amazing, but I prefer Domingo "acting" this role

[caruuso]

I can't imagine a singer more suited to this role than Del Monaco. What a wild, howling, magnificent beast he is.

[baritolo]

Better Domingo? O my god! I can't believe that you think this!

Mario is the best Canio in History. Many people that heard him live at MET in this opera admit that he was better than Caruso. In Del Monaco voice is the fire, the brightness of a vocal magnificence. Domingo, in my opinion is only a good singer, not a LIRIC GIANT as Mario.

[gaytenor]

baritolo: What people thought that DelMonaco was better than Caruso. References please!!! The critics never warmed to DelMonaco's constant ffff braying to put it kindly. When Bing was pushed into a corner by DelMonaco overDelMonaco's bitching about Corelli guess who won. As to your hero try the live Stiffelio recording its awful.

[monpitt500]

@baritolo you're absolutely right i heard both live and Domingo is simply not in the same league despite his great voice

[alexanderpuritano]

@ SONO Baritolo pienamente daccordo con te baritolo, Pero non dimentichiamo Il Grande Corelli NEL film con Tito Gobbi, ESSI SONO incomparabili ... Del Monaco-Corelli,,, non c'e ne e per Nessuno.

[Elisabetta611]

@baritolo

I like del Monaco. But he was loud, louder and loudest without much artistry. Sometimes downright vulgar. Just compare him to Caruso.

[RudySunseeker]

@Elisabetta611

Beauty of voice, technique, musicality and taste, that´s what my ears favor. Del Monaco is definitely not for me.

[gonzalordm]

@baritolo jaaaaaaajajjajajajaja better than caruso?... jajajja... Del Monaco Liric?... Bah!... stop writing absurds!!!

[eghissoni]

@baritolo Del monaco is fantastic but that Zefirelli's production with Domingo(1982) was the best ever.

[tenorismo]

@baritolo Domingo couldent carry MDM's dirty underware.

[gonzalordm]

@baritolo I do belive Domingo is far better than Del Monaco, not only singing Canio, but also as Otello and many more roles. As a singer Domingo is much more better, more musicality, much more better vocal line, expresion (not exageration as Del Monaco always), more coloring... the vocalitity in Domingo has more corpo, it´s not as big as Del Monaco, not squillante as Del MOnaco´s in the high note, but has much more virtues vocally, and his singing is by far better.

[Pawelp]

@gonzalordm If only he was comfortable singing tenor tessitura.

[cfreetenor]

@gonzalordm This was an extremely ignorant comment - even Domingo would agree that he doesn't even approach MDM.

[melkruspe]

@cfreetenor Usually people just listen the most commercial voices. So, do not be amaded if someone tell u Paul Potts is a better Calaf than MDM. I do agree with u, Domingo is just a voice with not enough beauty nor passion. MDM is the best tenor ever.

[sugarbist]

@gonzalordm You obviously have the right to prefer any one singer over another.However,I think that most of the spinto&dramatic roles that Domingo sings are just to big for his voice.Therefore he must apply musicality& a softer vocal line & expression, because he does not have the Dramatic capability to sing Forza, Otello,Pagliacci,Carmen,Manon,­Chenier,Aida, which wether you like it or not were signature roles for DelMonaco.MDM also has beautiful diction&phrasing&his recitatives are masterful.

[sugarbist]

@gonzalordm Domingo alsostrangles his high notes&shortens his phrases when singing the heavier roles because the tessitura is too high for him.I saw Domingo in Pagliacci some years back. He was hardly audible& he was straining significantly.PD sounds good when singing operas like Traviatta Butterfly& Rigoletto which are more suited for him,but he really can't compete with DelMonaco Corelli Tucker Gigli Campagnano Volpi Merli&Fillipeschi,which are voices that are much more dynamic than Domingo's

[Reinaldo146]

@baritolo - I have compared both, Corelli's and del Monaco's renditions against that of Domingo. Aside from the voice quality, itself, neither can get close to the phrasing and acting the part the way Domingo does in this piece. Domingo "acts" the voice and the phrasing in a more "modern" acting (i.e. smarter) level that makes his feelings far more real and "believable" than either del Monaco's or Corelli's. And, BTW, Corelly and del Monaco are my favorite tenors (including Alfredo Kraus).

[Allzumenschliches44]

@Reinaldo146 And again the same Cliché as always, Del Monaco is louder but Domingo sings smarter bla bla... Del Monaco has the voice for this and Domingo not, its so simple. The "sings smarter" thing is a ridiculous excuse for a voice which is not made for 80% of the opera prostitutes "repertory".

[sugarbist]

@Reinaldo146 IsawPDin this opera in circa1995.He was very dissapointing.He was hardly audible&was squeezing in the passagio&high notes.Del Monaco's phrasing and diction were always impeccable.PDalso left the2nd B-natural in No Pagliaccio Non Son,which I thought was also transposed to a B-flat.Furthermore Del Monaco brings a Dramatic interpretation&immense vocal line thatPDcould never compete with.I don't think Domingo's voice was suited for this dramatic opera as well as many other spinto roles

[ksnygirl]

this is great, but i like domingo better...

[satyablaze]

Il canto di Mario Del monaco era teatro che danno emozioni, e ora accasdemia ? allora vado a scuola

[danicemo]

there were a lot of big tenors,but in pagliacci the best was del monaco

[Aetion]

And not only in pagliacci, of course. His voice was/is unique. Especially in Otello.

[xarissof]

i am sure that every soprano playing side to del monaco at the ending must had some doubts about if he actually killing her hahaahahaha

[yughix1]

absolutely amazing singing and acting! after listening to MDM, i just can't listen to anyone else! his voice is one in a million!

[kanoni21]

unique!!

[Pawelp]

Mario Del Monaco was the ultimate Canio, no question. Untouched vocal and acting wise.

[francorelli]

false!!!!...corelli was the last canio..

[Pawelp]

Corelli was one of the greatest tenors ever, but Canio is a role he didn't make a real mark on actually...

[moghedien13]

Tucci is not only a good singer but quite a good actress as well.

[jmfpk]

i love that little walk Mario does at the beginning

Aldo is such a funny clown in this preformance too. He also does a little dance at 5:08-5:10. If you watch closly at 4:58, he hands something to another clown - my guess something that fell from the table

[ahtenor]

allowing him to use a modified version of melochio technique...he knew how to combine and get the most of his charming and warm vocal tone...but monaco.....was by far a more complete manhood singer.....all that intensity and power to the service of singing....

[ahtenor]

corelli used a different approach than del monaco....monaco was a stream of fire....and for ended his vocal approach was base on bruta force....sure hi was pushing his ass very hard on this....corelli natural gifts perhaps were better than monaco....

[ahtenor]

too many people compare...monaco and corelli...is my personal...opion,,,that corelli was more hansome, good looking, bigger, and too many james bond 007 physical qualities...but in regard to singing...del monaco was far better...first at all....continue

[berto1999]

Del Monaco was better than Corelli.

[GermanOperaSinger]

Yes, on the stage he was more exciting, Corelli a better studio voice and a more beautiful tone.

[crwv]

my personal hunch? Corelli might have had more talent, as evidenced by his mind-blowing venture into french opera.

I think they are equal in the grand scheme, there greatness being different. Del Monaco mastered the heavy Italian (basically Verdi) rep like none other. Corelli did big italian rep, and french repertoire, no other voice anywhere near that size has done anything like it before or since.

we should also try and be grateful they ever existed. I'd kill for a tenor half as good now...

[clymnestre]

Magico del Monaco!!!!!!!

[FuerzaMexicana]

Realmente k si son gustos personales. Pero la opera empezo por ser teatro primero y despues le introducieron el canto. Por lo tanto el cantante de opera de ser un actor completo y no pararse en medio del escenario a cantar sin poner la emocio teatral como lo hizo Pavarotti. Fijate en su video de "Aida" a comparacion de la de Domongo.

Bueno tu decide quien es el mejor actor.

[rickyelmeio]

mario del monaco e e sara uno dei migliori cantanti lirirci al mondo e pavarotti doveva imparare molte cose da lui..pavarotti non ha arte scenica,a solo una buona padronanza di voce.

[enzoonapulitan]

e campa cient'ann=devi vivere altri 100 anni

[rickyelmeio]

xche?? non dirmi che pavarotti era un bravo cantante lirico daii,studio canto lirico al pollini di padova,ma vatti a sentire i lombardi di verdi fatti da pavarotti seguiti da spartito e dimmi quante cose non si inventa.. la musica bisogna conoscerla fino in fondo e rispettarla..pavarotti si credeva quello che non è..ha solo nome per le sue vicende personali non per arte scenica ne per le interpretazioni.

[enzoonapulitan]

No Infatti ti do ragione!!!!!Quello che ti ho detto prima""e campa cient'ann"""e un detto napoletano che vuol dire che hai detto una cosa santa cioe giusta

[BariTenoreDram]

scusa caro se mi permetto :) Ma non puoi dire che Pavarotti non rispettava la musica e quindi non era un buon cantante e poi dire che del monaco era un grande tenore...Del Monaco i tempi li gestiva come voleva lui e in quanto a tecnica pavarotti era un mostro sacro...non osiamo toccarlo...ad ogni modo Del Monaco è stato un grandissimo cantante che al giorno d'oggi non avrebbe mai cantato :)

[rickyelmeio]

compra un po di spartiti magari i lombardi opp la turandot o meglio il barbiere di siviglia non solo l'aria stessa ma anche i recitativi e dimmi che non si inventa le note opp che segue a manoscritto il fraseggio armonico.. penso che verdi,puccini,rossini ecc.. ad ogni interpretazione di pavarotti si rigiorassero sulla tomba. studia musica per favore..

[federic017]

@BariTenoreDram Gliel'ho già chiesto un'altra volta ; per cortesia ci spieghi il perchè Del Monaco non avrebbe cantato ora. grazie un saluto

[rinarix1]

@federic017 lasci perdere baritenoredram

ci sono i bastian contrari punto e basta.

non sanno criticare, pensano di sapere tutto e non sanno nulla. Sono originario di treviso, citta' particolarmente legata a del Monaco e devo dire che sono cresciuto ascoltandolo,

[rinarix1]

@federic017 Credo che di del monaco si possano criticare i ripetuti singhiozzi che lui abitualmente faceva per rendere ancor piu' drammatico il ruolo. a volte, ma questo soprattutto verso la fine della sua carriera, si sentivano storpiature vocali nel passaggio dalla zona centrale (baritonale) a quella tenorile.

[sugarbist]

@rinarix1 There were not any speech distortions as his diction was impeccable throughout his career as his speaking voice was also very fluent and his elocution was perfect.Phrasing wa impeccable and DelMonaco interpretid like a dramatic emotional tenor .

[rinarix1]

@federic017 Ad agni modo: CE NE FOSSERO 1000 DI DEL MONACO IL QUALE RIMANE SECONDO ME UNO DEI PIU' GRANDI E QUI CANTA BENE...ricordo anche che allora canto' nell'arco di solo 15 gg in giappone (tokio) aida paglaicci e andrea chenier

Se lo fa un tenore normale, come minimo si ritrova con diverse ernie ai testicoli (ahahah perdonate la battuta)

Grande mario del monaco

[BariTenoreDram]

@federic017 A me piace da morire del monaco...ma i gusti sono cambiati sopratutto le accordature sono salite ...se del monaco faticava su di un si naturale 50 anni fa probabilmente non l'avrebbe proprio fatto al giorno d'oggi ragazzi oggi si canta a 440 a vienna anche 445 50 anni fa si canta anche 20 punti sotto e le orchestre erano più piccole! cmq ce ne fossero di Del Monaco oggi ovviamente non ce ne sono perchè le voci che si avvicinano sono costrette a fare i baritoni perchè non ce la fanno!

[mike8616]

M E R C I

[kragord]

vesti la giubba me gusta mas con del monaco pero esta no, pagliaccio non son la prefiero con pavarotti

gustos personales nada k ver con k piense k uno sea mejor k el otro

PONGAN MAS VIDEOS!!!!

[bluluvsrae]

I love Del Monaco. I grew up watching Pavarotti, Domingo,and Carreras, but my father loved Gigli. BUT he always said he adminred Del Monaco for his drama expertise and you see it here. My father, who saw Del Monaco in Otello and Pagliacci, said that Del Monaco had two volume levels--loud and louder :-)

[Etnalleb]

MDM Probably along with Corelli the 2 Greatest dramatic Tenors that have ever lived and this performance proves it. MDM at the very highest of his Career. Bravo Mario

[Pawelp]

Ravishing, thrilling!

[madamabutterfly82]

Wooooooow! Que final!!! Me encanto... ;)

[dxhty]

famous tape. i just never thought i would see this performance with my own eyes. tears in my eyes.would fellini have happened without this kind of performance.

MDM is just a wizard.

[Federicopera]

Again & Again, thanks Oneguin65 for posting this video, it has enlightened my life!!!!

[tenorojuke]

Fantastic, bloody and honesty. Bravissiom MDM, Tucci and Protti

[Federicopera]

Tucci: Thanks for your human vision, thanks for bringing your life to ours!!!

[elohssa2005]

When we will have the next Del Monaco???? Singing of the higest calibre.

[Federicopera]

This is all I need to be happy!!!!

[jprats53]

This is Del Monaco at his best.Nobody comes even close.A magnificent cast of singers that unfortunately

does not exist nowadays.Gabriella Tucci is a great soprano with a beautiful,and she is physically beautiful too and Aldo Protti perhaps the smallest baritone in stature but what a great voice he has.

This is what I call real opera and not the garbage we seen today with all of these mediocre singers that need two microphones in order to sing

[elcantante45]

tengo conciertos,operas completas en dvd,discografia completa de mario del monaco,interesados escribanme

[LordMoe]

Mario is as great as always, but what really wowed me was that woman. Her voice just blew me away, it was actually pretty scary!

[kmillard]

"That Woman" is Gabriella Tucci who can be heard on numerous recordings if you so desire. She was one of the leading sopranos in the verismo repertoire.

[davidnoar]

incomparable, inmejorable version .

[GLOSO12]

Incredible...simply no comment..MDM is one!

[lacgs]

Simply fabulous - thanks so much for this video -

[stroketend]

il piu grande tenore drammatico di tutti i tempi!!!!

[abednego20]

dios, menudo canio, cualquiera le toma el pelo...

[Agorante]

I think that's Aldo Protti - the world's shortest baritone. But a hell of a voice.

[kmillard]

People said Mario del Monaco couldn't act?? Oh Please! Luciano Pavarotti made MDM look like Laurence Olivier by comparison.

[clymnestre]

Sempre adoro questa interpretazione insuperabile MDM rimane il più grande! Attore ! Cantante magnifico.

[john7178cd]

fantabulous, indeed. If he performed today, the 3 tenors would even salude and bowed to him. Brrraaaavvvvvoooooo,Monaco.

[mornaymariedomini]

Mario del monaco sempre il più grande!!!Chi ha dette che i cantanti lirici non erano attori per eccellenza! Meglio di quelli del cinema di oggi... La vocalità di Mario del Monaco non ancora raggiunta, mi fa piangere in questa interpretazione di Pagliacci. Rimane un Re sotto vestiti di pagliaccio contrariament all'abitudine... I pianti suoi.. mentre scende il sipario quale effetto drammatico fatto cosi magistralmente...Grazie Mario il Grande; oggi e per sempre!

[orestesavalos]

buena puesta en escena

[baritolo]

Arte, arte, arte all'ennesima potenza.

[mornaymariedomini]

from " Mario del monaco a Dio" said himself many years ago. He was right, voice, acting so wide to say , anyway wonderful!!!

[tschkumbift]

Fantastic.

[jwccc47]

It must have been a jealous tenor that said he couldn't act because this is proof otherwise.We sure could do with his likes today.

[baritolo]

Troppo grande per essere vero. Mario, l'inimitabile.

[art724]

And some people think he couldn't act.

[GABYCONSTANZA]

been listening to del monaco thru out the day.

thanks a million for this. certainly powerful
