¡¡¡¡¡ EL MEJOR CANIO QUE HA EXISTIDO, EXISTE Y EXISTIRA !!!! VIVA MARIO DEL MONACO, TENOR DE TENORES !!!! GRACIAS POR TANTO PLACER COMO NOS HAS DADO CON TU BELLÍSIMA VOZ !!!
@sugarbist, pero repito, MDM y Corelli para mi son otra categoria de tenores¡...Una rareza: conoces Antonio Molina?(años 50') Escucha en YT 'soy minero' o 'la fuente del avellano'. Era capaz de falsetes de ¡casi un minuto sin respirar¡ Lo normal era entre 20 a 40 seg., en estilo copla- flamenco. Si hubiera cantado opera.......
@sugarbist, Pedro Lavirgen, tambien un gran tenor, y por supuesto que Aragall es una voz bella e importante, (una pena sus problemas depresivos), pero Kraus es casi perfecto tecnicamente como ligero. La bella voz de Di Stefano me gusta mucho y la Butterfly de Bergonzi es muy sentida para mi. Es un mundo muy complejo la opera....y cambiante¡...
@sugarbist, estoy de acuerdo. Aunque de los tenores 'antiguos' la informacion sonora del primer periodo es escasa y de limitada calidad comparada con la actual. Mi primer contacto con tenores españoles fue Alfredo Kraus y cantando Zarzuela (muy bueno)
@sugarbist, respecto a los inultos en los comentarios en YT, puedo aceptar algunos, pero recuerdo uno que hizo bodiloto a Mario Lanza sobre una interpretacion de Otello. Bodiloto llamo a ML 'Dio de la vergonga', y creo que es muy maleducado insultar a un mito (para muchos, incluido yo) muerto hace 50 años, una falta de respeto inaceptable e innecesaria. Continuo
@sugarbist, I think, MDM was a unique Canio possibly the best, concern this role Domingo is good as well for me. El histrionismo de MDM algunas veces resulta excesivo, pero comprensible para aquella epoca y publico. Tengo su DECCA del 61' y es muy bueno. Un amigo tiene otras grabaciones clasicas en disco que todavia no he escucado, el es un devoto de Corelli en general. Sigo
@millonety123 No tenor is perfect, and I do think Del Monaco was quite accessive at times.Del Monaco was also a vocal Phenomenon as was Lauri Volpi and some of the earlier tenors like Zenatello De Muro& Paoli. My favorite Spanish tenor is Antonio Cortis & I also like Aragall.I think Cortis has an extremely beautiful voice.I'm always moved by his singing as he emotes feeling passion & pathos in his interpretations.
@sugarbist, enough of personal excuses¡¡, well, I love MDM, especially, and majority italian tenors & composers. I think MDM&Corelli are two supertenors in history, I'm sure of this. But, in my soul I feel PD like an especial performer. I think Gigli and Schipa never sung C's, but however, I love both, excuse me, I continue later.
@sugarbist, well, it's very difficult for me to express my thoughts in english. I'm spaniard and I answer you by smartphone, (another difficulty, don't ask me why I do this so). More, I'm not an expert in technicalities about bel canto or other relative matters with opera. I understand well "ha ha" isn't a form to share knowledge but, on the other hand I prefer it to insult any person or great artist. Cont.
@millonety123 You can express yourself in spanish and I will be able to get the translation on my computer.I Knew what "ha ha" meant, but I don't get insulted easily. By the way , I think Domingo sings the Zarzeula songs extremely well.Enjoy Signor
@sugarbist, '1st 10 years were very good...' well, every little bit counts¡ Ha,ha,ha¡¡...Oh, Jesus¡ It's possible your subconscious betrays you¡ No problem. The rest of your answer I prefer you analice with experts...for example bodiloto, Ha,ha,ha¡... Last days I've heard Mefistofeles with Ramey/PD and very excellent, but...its possible a studio's enhancement¡...Holy shit¡¡Enjoy you¡
@millonety123 My Dear Millonety,If you go to Domingo singing Dai Campi Dai Prati,You will see that I did comment positively about 3 months ago.Stating (this is the repertoire that PD is suited for.I'm not a fan of his, but he does sing this very well.)Your analysis of me always making negative comments about PD is not accurate.YT is a platform where we don't have to be experts to express our opinion.Even though I may not agree with you, there is no need to defer me to someone else.Continue
@millonety123 If Mr. Bodiloto cares to engage with me I will be delighted in exchanging my thoughts with him . In my previous dialogue with you,I had expressed different reasons for my dissaproval with Domingo.I don't seek your approval or anyone elses. My intention is to share information. So we can both Ha,Ha all we want, but there's is no knowledge gained in doing so.I also think MDM is superior in the dramatic&spinto roles,Because of his impeccable phrasing,diction recitatives&Declamations

@sugarbist, 20 tenors singing this better than Domingo? You are too optimimistic in your estimate, I think Domingo is one of the most credible on this role. MDM has a good voice but credible he is not at all. Your problem is in any YT of any tenor you attack Domingo always. You aren't a good critic
@millonety123 I did not say that there were 20 tenors singing THIS aria better than Domingo.I did say that the tenors I had mentioned were better than Domingo.My real problem is,I saw Domingo in this opera in the mid 90s.His quality of voice was wonderful,however,he became tight in the passaggio& I was really surprized of how inaudible he was in the theatre.He also left out the 2nd B-natural in No Pagliacco Non Son,Which I believe the1st Bnatural was a B-flat.(Transposed)?I think so.continue
@millonety123 Domingo has a reputation for transposing outside acceptable practices.Ex.Chella Mi Creda,PD transposes the aria down a half tone, in concert, with a mic.Aound 1990,PD was campaigning to lower the universal pitch, so as to accomodate the Maestro.Domingo's studio recordings are enhanced to make his voice sound larger than the lyric spinto it is.Perhaps the 1st 10 years of this difficult career were very good. I don't think the facts I mention are worthy of a World Class Tenor.Enjoy
Del Monaco's voice was more powerful than Lanza's I must admit! He is one of the best Tenors to have sang on stage! But my heart only has one name... Lanza!!!
@SuperDictionar Depends which aria I guess. If u take Nessun Dorma, no one touches Del Monaco. But overall I give Lanza the edge. I'm on ur dad' side :D
@crapfacejoe :D Anyways, Mario Lanza, Mario Del Monaco, Beniagmino Gigli, Franco Corelli, Jussi Björling who are my favorite ones make my life so beautiful and I'm so thankful for them :)
I'm only 15 years old and I really enjoy this music, kids around me listen such stupid ''music'', I just can't follow them...
I LOVE DEL MONACOS VOICE AND I THINK THAT ITS IMPORTANT TO NOTE ACCORDING TO JEROME HEINZ CONVERSATION WITH STEPHAN ZUCKER.. DEL MONACOS WIFE TOLD MARIO THAT HE CUD NOT BE HEARD PAST THE 3RD ROW IN THE OPERA HOUSE . DEL MONACO WENT TO MELOCCHI AND TOGETHER THEY REBUILT HIS VOICE ONE STEP AT A TIME RESULTING IN WHAT YOU HEAR HERE WHICH IS A PHENOMENOL SOUND. IF THIS WAS NOT DONE I THINK THERE WAS A STRONG POSSIBILITY THAT HE WUD HAVE BEEN MEDIOCRE AND THE CRITICS WUD HAVE TO MOVE ON.
@HachiZenki Great singers take songs and make them their own. There are several that make this song "their own" in their own special way. We are blessed to listen to them all
@mareckbamf Well what I ment was that del Monaco was never known for nuance so this aria with it's brute power and soaring notes is especially suited to him.
@HachiZenki I didn't mean it 's OVER THE TOP in ...he seems (as Del Monaco very often does) to show off the power of the voice...but ...believe me...opera is not just a matter of power
@TheVoicelesson I respect your opinion sr. but I don't think so, the musicality of Maestro Domingo es tremendous superior. And don't even think to speak about his performance, no said by me, said by all de civilized world... IS THE BEST.
@DonPalabras1628 : People who think Domingo is the best thing in the world of Opera are the ignorant victims of the media, with no formal education in Music. I saw your profile page and you admire Kalimba and Maldita Vecindad. I am not surprised to hear you like Domingo.
@TheVoicelesson I learned to love Plácido by my own, not influenced by any media. I compered him with MANY others and I preciate his talent, he is the best, not the only one. And READ well, don't be stupid, I hate kalimba and all the people that admires singers with no talent.
Maldita Vecindad is not in the range, as rockers they did t well in México and a several countries. Their lyrcis are very deep and with social sense.
@DonPalabras1628 : I'm not discussing with ignorants. It's pointless. If you think that Doming is "the best" then be my guest. Just like you love Kalimba and Maldita Vecindad. That's where you belong. That maldita vecindad of yours. Stay there!
@TheVoicelesson Tal vez soy ignorante, es cosa que me lo demuestre un letrado y no tú, que a leguas se nota tu pobre cultura. Ya no repliques por favor, como bien dices, no tiene caso una porfía. Saludos y hasta nunca.
@DonPalabras1628 Proclamations are wonderful to satisfy the individual.But proclamations do not make something true or accurate.Domingo is fine,&I'm proclaiming that there are at least20 tenors that are better.Corelli Lauri Volpi Cortis Fleta Bjorling Fillipeschi Barioni Campagnano Masini Merli Pertile Di Stefano Del Monaco Pavarotti De Muro Gigli Tucker Limarilli Lanza Martinelli Gedda& Lazaro.These tenors also were not so perfect, but their artistry compensated for their imperfections. Enjoy
I've read about Melocchi's technique, giving a positive consideration.
I admit to have a certain prejudice on the "tecnica dell'affondo" and for my sensibility and my technical preparation (for Renassance, Baroque and Classical period) it is improper and can be an obstacle for ancient music.
What I wanted to say, aaron, is that you can't sing Handel with the techinique of Verismo!They are two worlds apart! My argument is a matter of coherence and philology. I'll contact MrCafiero :)
@MisterPapageno That all makes a great deal of sense. I wonder if you could detect the difference in larynx position on me when I sang Ev'ry Valley in that one video, vs. Pourquoi me reveiller a few days later...if you saw my throat up close, that is.
@aaronsande I haven't seen your larynx, but I've listened to the voice, to the colour, to the dynamics and to the break in the high note and to the coloratura ... This is enough for me! :) :) anyway, this discussion is very interesting :)
@aaronsande no, it wasn't ! this is the matter! you sing handel with the same style as church song! :P different author, different style! listen to Callas high E when she is Amina and when she is Maddalena of Coigny.. same note, total different sound and expression :)
la voce...il parlare l'opera...la persona...la fisicità..il mostrare le emozioni forti...la versatilità...il timbro........tutto.....nascerà mai un'altro come lui.....?????!!
@Maripudelmonaco yep...there was one...the master of masters! his name sadly has been forgotten but hi was the best tenor.....the grat BENIAMINO GIGLI!! (MONACO WAS GREAT TOO)
@pabloprado77 - Mi abuelo me inició en el mundo de la Lírica con los discos de BENIAMINO GIGLI, del cual él era un apasionado, no me descubres nada acerca de este maravilloso, extraordinario cantante, maestro de maestros, y voz aterciopelada de voz bellísima y técnica perfecta.; Pero mi abuelo también me inició con MARIO DEL MONACO, llevándome a oirle y verle en DIRECTO, y éso me superó, -- FAN SUYA HASTA LA MUERTE.. SALUDOS!!
ladys and gent's,you now hear the most beatiful voice of the 20 century...just listen,they are now word in english to discrive the emotion that he gives to me!sorry for my english!
No, I said Corelli was SPINTO dramatic. From a point on Di Stefano took singing heavy roles not suitable for his voice, therefore he destroyed it. By the mid-1960's he was finished.
@MisterPapageno You cannot sing that powerfully for 40 years with bad technique. It is just impossible. Don't believe the hype about MDM having "bad technique". He had EXCELLENT technique.
@aaronsande his technique was unusual, lowering the larynx and keeping it very low, so doing something that a normal (and classical) technique doesn't advice. He had indeed a great voice (and a proof of his technique, very damaging for not resisting voices, is given by many singers trying to sing like him or as well his student with not the same resistence). He has been a vocal phenomenon, but not technical... And again, listen to "Esultate" from Otello by him and by Tamagno... A huge gap!
@MisterPapageno The larynx should remain where it drops to when you inhale properly, not held of course, but relaxed and allowed to remain in that lowered state.
There is no evidence that he lowered it further, he did not have the sound of a depressed larynx (I can let you hear that if you like), and Melocchi did not teach to force the larynx down. Only to let it stay in the lowest state after proper inhalation. Much is misunderstood about Melocchi and Del Monaco... with vocal technique at large
@aaronsande as soon as I have better information, I'll let you know!
about lowered larynx, it is all a matter of style and technique, because opera singers (from romanticism) lowered it to give the voice more resonance! in the past, it wasn't so lowered (we suppose) because you sang in smaller spaces and you sang coloratura, which does not permit you to sing with lower than normal larynx
@MisterPapageno You're right, it is a matter of style, and the type of music being sung. But then you cannot criticize MDM's larynx because it was correct for that which he sang =D
@MisterPapageno But anyway :) first learn a technique, then you'll learn style! :) Singing takes really a life time to become beter and better, but little by little :)
@MisterPapageno Precisely...you cannot compare me with these singers because I am still in training, not a professional singer. And you are too much of a purist when it comes to style for Handel singing. Many think that Vickers' Handel was incredible. It is all about enjoyment, not about precisely what the composer had available at the time ;P
@aaronsande yes, but being a student (as I still am too) it's not an excuse to sing improperly :) music is enjoyment for everyone, but you have to respect music :) not my words: Maria Callas' words :)
@MisterPapageno I do not accept that singing Handel with a lowered larynx as I would opera, but with more subtlety and a gentler tone, is improper singing. =D
As I said you are too much of a purist. For what I wish to be, there is only one way to sing properly, and that involves a lowered larynx as we discussed.
@MisterPapageno I do not accept that singing Handel with a lowered larynx as I would opera, but with more subtlety and a gentler tone, is improper singing. =D
As I said you are too much of a purist. For what I wish to be, there is only one way to sing properly, and that involves a lowered larynx as we discussed.
@MisterPapageno I do not think Tamagno sounds better than Del Monaco, in fact I think he sounds worse. And I doubt he had the vocal size of Del Monaco...few did, Caruso as one of the few.
Those who try to sing like him are making the mistake of trying to copy a singer based on misunderstanding of the technique. If you train from the technique, instead of from his voice, you will be fine. I have trained for months with Melocchi's teachings, and my voice has only improved. Greatly and swiftly.
@aaronsande I'm sorry aaron, but you're talking about something you don't know. First, Tamagno had a great technique, although he didn't have a proper musical education. And great means great. Secondly, he was very well known for his power and a tale about his highC in Otello reports that the christall of the enormous chandelier in La Scala where vibrating.
So, you are comparing a giant as Tamagno with a half giant as Del Monaco!
But anyway, I will get better info about his technique! :)
@aaronsande well, your taste is your taste.... can't say anything :) but technique is technique :) anyway, I've written to MrCafiero.. Hope he will answer soon :)
@MisterPapageno Find a youtube user named MrCafiero...he can correct your misunderstandings about MDM and Melocchi far better than I can. I'm sure you want to know the truth, you are quite interested in proper singing =D
For those who think he is showing off his power, so would the other tenors if they possessed such a gift from God! Del Monaco is simply the best.

@TheVoicelesson I learned to love Plácido by my own, not influenced by any media. I compered him with MANY others and I preciate his talent, he is the best, not the only one. And READ well, don't be stupid, I hate kalimba and all the people that admires singers with no talent.
Maldita Vecindad is not in the range, as rockers they did t well in México and a several countries. Their lyrcis are very deep and with social sense.

@DonPalabras1628 : I'm not discussing with ignorants. It's pointless. If you think that Doming is "the best" then be my guest. Just like you love Kalimba and Maldita Vecindad. That's where you belong. That maldita vecindad of yours. Stay there!

What a true statement! Domingo is skilled, but he was never able to reach the level of Mario Del Monaco

@DonPalabras1628 Proclamations are wonderful to satisfy the individual.But proclamations do not make something true or accurate.Domingo is fine,&I'm proclaiming that there are at least20 tenors that are better.Corelli Lauri Volpi Cortis Fleta Bjorling Fillipeschi Barioni Campagnano Masini Merli Pertile Di Stefano Del Monaco Pavarotti De Muro Gigli Tucker Limarilli Lanza Martinelli Gedda& Lazaro.These tenors also were not so perfect, but their artistry compensated for their imperfections.

I've read about Melocchi's technique, giving a positive consideration.
I admit to have a certain prejudice on the "tecnica dell'affondo" and for my sensibility and my technical preparation (for Renassance, Baroque and Classical period) it is improper and can be an obstacle for ancient music.
What I wanted to say, aaron, is that you can't sing Handel with the techinique of Verismo!They are two worlds apart! My argument is a matter of coherence and philology. I'll contact MrCafiero :)

@MisterPapageno That all makes a great deal of sense. I wonder if you could detect the difference in larynx position on me when I sang Ev'ry Valley in that one video, vs. Pourquoi me reveiller a few days later...if you saw my throat up close, that is.

Corelli and Di Stefano were not dramatic tenors.
Corelli was spinto dramamatic, with a thrilling upper register, whereas Di Stefano a lyric one.

No, I said Corelli was SPINTO dramatic. From a point on Di Stefano took singing heavy roles not suitable for his voice, therefore he destroyed it. By the mid-1960's he was finished.

@MisterPapageno You cannot sing that powerfully for 40 years with bad technique. It is just impossible. Don't believe the hype about MDM having "bad technique". He had EXCELLENT technique.
aaronsande 1 year ago
@aaronsande his technique was unusual, lowering the larynx and keeping it very low, so doing something that a normal (and classical) technique doesn't advice. He had indeed a great voice (and a proof of his technique, very damaging for not resisting voices, is given by many singers trying to sing like him or as well his student with not the same resistence). He has been a vocal phenomenon, but not technical... And again, listen to "Esultate" from Otello by him and by Tamagno... A huge gap!
MisterPapageno 1 year ago
@MisterPapageno The larynx should remain where it drops to when you inhale properly, not held of course, but relaxed and allowed to remain in that lowered state.
There is no evidence that he lowered it further, he did not have the sound of a depressed larynx (I can let you hear that if you like), and Melocchi did not teach to force the larynx down. Only to let it stay in the lowest state after proper inhalation. Much is misunderstood about Melocchi and Del Monaco... with vocal technique at large
aaronsande 1 year ago
@aaronsande as soon as I have better information, I'll let you know!
about lowered larynx, it is all a matter of style and technique, because opera singers (from romanticism) lowered it to give the voice more resonance! in the past, it wasn't so lowered (we suppose) because you sang in smaller spaces and you sang coloratura, which does not permit you to sing with lower than normal larynx
MisterPapageno 1 year ago
@MisterPapageno You're right, it is a matter of style, and the type of music being sung. But then you cannot criticize MDM's larynx because it was correct for that which he sang =D
aaronsande 1 year ago
@aaronsande why not? Cecilia Bartoli sings the ancient repertoirewith the wrong technique ! wonderful coloratura, but wrong! :)

@MisterPapageno So criticize her, then. I do! =D What about her ridiculous facial gestures? MDM didn't sing ancient music...
aaronsande 1 year ago
@aaronsande yes, in fact it's you singing Handel :P and then, Del Monaco sang Pollione form Norma, which is BelCanto, not "tecnica di affondo"! :)
MisterPapageno 1 year ago
@MisterPapageno But anyway :) first learn a technique, then you'll learn style! :) Singing takes really a life time to become beter and better, but little by little :)
MisterPapageno 1 year ago
@MisterPapageno Precisely...you cannot compare me with these singers because I am still in training, not a professional singer. And you are too much of a purist when it comes to style for Handel singing. Many think that Vickers' Handel was incredible. It is all about enjoyment, not about precisely what the composer had available at the time ;P
aaronsande 1 year ago
@aaronsande yes, but being a student (as I still am too) it's not an excuse to sing improperly :) music is enjoyment for everyone, but you have to respect music :) not my words: Maria Callas' words :)
MisterPapageno 1 year ago
@MisterPapageno I do not accept that singing Handel with a lowered larynx as I would opera, but with more subtlety and a gentler tone, is improper singing. =D
As I said you are too much of a purist. For what I wish to be, there is only one way to sing properly, and that involves a lowered larynx as we discussed.

aaronsande 1 year ago
@aaronsande we're both right at the very end :) the technical issue depends much on musical and personal taste :)
MisterPapageno 1 year ago
@MisterPapageno I do not think Tamagno sounds better than Del Monaco, in fact I think he sounds worse. And I doubt he had the vocal size of Del Monaco...few did, Caruso as one of the few.
Those who try to sing like him are making the mistake of trying to copy a singer based on misunderstanding of the technique. If you train from the technique, instead of from his voice, you will be fine. I have trained for months with Melocchi's teachings, and my voice has only improved. Greatly and swiftly.
aaronsande 1 year ago
@aaronsande I'm sorry aaron, but you're talking about something you don't know. First, Tamagno had a great technique, although he didn't have a proper musical education. And great means great. Secondly, he was very well known for his power and a tale about his highC in Otello reports that the christall of the enormous chandelier in La Scala where vibrating.
So, you are comparing a giant as Tamagno with a half giant as Del Monaco!
But anyway, I will get better info about his technique! :)
MisterPapageno 1 year ago
@MisterPapageno Where do you get the impression that The Brass Bull of Milan was only half a giant?
And I was not discussing technique, I was discussing LIKING the voice of MDM better than Tamagno. LOL
