Tuve la suerte de estudiar en Lima , Santander y Madrid con su hermano don Alfredo Kraus. Siempre nos comentó su admiración por Tito Schipe; nos decia que :"Siempre prefiero un "Gran cantante", sobre una gran voz". Que razón tenía!!
Luego de 10 años de carrera, y luego de varias alzas y caidas, al regresar a las notas que tomé durante los encuentros con él, pude re tomar mi carrera y seguir adelante. Yo sin querer comparar a nadie, creo que Don Alfredo y Schipa, superan en mucho al resto!!!!
I think you may be right. It seems the whole world only wants Del Monaco as their tenor and Cabernet Sauvignon for their wine. We miss so much this way!
I am french and more use to hear Werther in French than in Italian..But here , in that case , it is marvellous sund and interpreted that I don't mind about the language..We undertsand Schipa as is it was french sung..It is the exact voice and sensibility for Werther..bravo !!
Aunque la voz se le mueve un poquito y las notas altas están cogidas con dificultad y bajadas de tono, el gusto, la elegancia, el arte inimitable de canto ahí están. Por cierto, se colaba una foto de Martinelli, no tiene mayor importancia pero dejo constancia de ello.
Beniamino Gigli said, "ALL TENORS SHOULD TAKE THEIR HATS OFF TO SCHIPA" who represented the "ART" of SINGING, which is NON-EXISTENT today on the PROFESSIONAL OPERATIC STAGE
Well, some singers try their best to sing with taste and style not just pushing their guts out... look around, there are a few. But I agree that its more rare now a days.
A tutte queste cualitá ( chiedo scusa per il mio italiano ),
bisognerebbe aggiungere quella che a mio giudizio è la piú importante: l'udito musicale, l'innata capacita di apprezzare la bellezza della musica.
Senza una grande sensibilita musicale, ( in questo, Schipa era immenso ) tutte le altre cualita sono pressapoco inutili, ed il cantante potra semmai impressionare l'ascoltatore ma mai sedurlo.
tito schipa, el de la voz mas dulce, el precursor de los grandes tenores ligeros del siglo veinte tenores ( Alva y Kraus), y el mismo un maestro de tecnica vocal y arte imfinito
Sin duda una de las voces mas completas del arte lirico. Y aqui "kraustrujillo" ha hecho otra maravilla: ofrecernos un aria sin los molestos ruidos que acompañan las grabaciones del pasado.. ¡Muchisimas gracias¡.Solo un detalle adicional: favor agregar al titulo la "c" que falta para que esta maravillosa pieza no quede fuera de la busqueda por apellido.
If you have ever heard Schipa's live Werther its not much faster but even more magical. Having also heard Kraus live Werther I think they are the two greatest interpreters of the role since the 1920s. But Schipa's (Italian language) interpretation achieved a spiritual intensity that even Kraus could not attain. On stage Schipa did unbelievable things prompting applause in places no one else ever gets applause. His death scene in Werther was the most heart rendering you will ever hear.
LEI E LA IMMENSITÀ DIVINA!!!MAESTRO TITO SCHIPA BRAVO POR SIEMPRE!!!Jovenes Tenores De Hoy...APRENDAN DE ÉL,que no solamente es una voz,sino un Artista INTELIGENTE,dedicado a los MATICES que debe tener EL DECIR,EL LEGATO,EL FRASEO,en cada vocal y en cada consonante en POS de LA EXPRESIVIDAD ABSOLUTA!!!Él,a un Desierto árido,lo transformó EN LA TIERRA MÁS BELLA Y FECUNDA!!!BRAVO POR SIEMPRE MAESTRO TITO SCHIPA!!!
Grazi, laonirica, di avermi indicato questo brano dove il Maestro Schipa ci da un'interpretazione intramontabile con la sua tecnica, la sua sensibilità, ed una bella intelligenza vocale che sono rarissime.
¡¡¡QUERIDO E INIGUALABLE POR SIEMPRE,MAESTRO TITO SCHIPA,Nadie *Jamás* lo habrá de Superar!!!¡¡¡SEMPITERNO En La Grandeza Como Artista Insuperable y como Ser Humano,EXPRESIVIDAD PURA!!!.-¡Lei é la IMMENSTÀ DIVINA!!!-Gracias KRAUSTRUJILLO,por compartirlo en You Tube.-
Such an elegant way of singing ! Its a little bit slow, yes, but doesnt he singing his dream ?
I only saw this opera some 15 years ago in s'Hertogenbosch, a little town in the Netherlands. The audiance were less than 30 persons ! They asked us to come to the first ranks so that the singers could see us. It became a very special evening. It was if they were singing just for us. The Brabants orchestra was beautiful too.
bravo tito dont care if you sing this slower OR faster than others i just want to hear that lovely voice,perfect diction,interpretation,and coloratura technique..bilstew.
The afficionado recognizes quality which. Schipa exemplified - The ART of CHIAROSCURO which the singers of today have not the faintest concept.Anyone can sing forte, it takes intelligence to sing "all" the nuances which the composer indicates.
The great Beniamino Gigli said, "WE MUST ALL TAKE OUR HATS OFF TO TITO SCHIPA" It takes a great artist to RECOGNIZE what is great in another artist. It is the superb phrasing that Schipa exemplified.
Tito Schipa can be considered, like one of the greatest technical tenors of all the times, his technique of emission of the voice in serious, average, the acute ones and in smooth and very smooth notes, she is extraordinary.
such a beautiful and clear quality. I love the delicacy with which he treats the music, it can not help but move the listener. Proof that we do not all have to posess HUGE voices to be beautiful and have class~! Bravo Tito! I wish I could have heard you live....
I did hear him live. I heard him in Providence, Rhode Island on his farewell tour and he kept his beautiful voice, perfect intonation and articulation till the end. He projected so that even in a large theater you heard him clearly and it sounded effortless. Agreed he didn't have a huge instrument for a voice, but as you say, he was such a great artist. He is still my favorite singer of all time.
He doesn't have the range or projection of the so-called great tenors, but there is absolutely no one who feels, who lives his music as personally and profoundly as Tito -- my choice as the greatest tenor who has ever lived.
