Martinucci in Manon Lescaut 1981 "Guardate pazzo son"

[arpeggio1358]

I'm sorry, but he is sharp in a couple of places.

[pepeelsordo]

SINGING is not only making beautiful sounds.

[Dymension]

He sounds a lot like a heavier voiced Pavarotti...

[TsarBovov]

Hm, if it is true that Domingo did not allow Martinucci to sing at the MET (which sounds like typical American opera fan gossip as Domingo never had that much power), it was a great decision. The MET is not a good opera house and it is the best for most opera singers not to sing in a house with conducting a la Levine and kitschy staging, and "stars" like Netrebko, Fleming, Villazon and Calleja. Bravo Martinucci.

[TsarBovov]

@ArrigoPola I am not so sure that Martinucci would survive a confrontation with Domingo. Vocally maybe, but also Martinucci had trouble with high notes. As an artist, Domingo is more complete, a better actor, a more intelligent interpreter. In my opinion, of course.

[elkatemendelaopera]

I totally agree with you. Martinucci has, of course, an amazing voice. But Domingo, come on! He has everything!

[tdeane34]

@TsarBovov And Domingo didn't have trouble with high notes? Domingo had the worst high notes! Listen to Martinucci's Celeste Aida from Verona. Domingo never had top notes like that.

[pavarottithebest]

Domingo se la sognava e se la sogna ancora la voce di questo GRANDE tenore.... Questo video è una testimonianza tangibile della grande tecnica ed omogeneità della voce di questo signore.... Sentite la stessa aria cantata da MISTER TUTTO FARE(Domingo)..ditemi un po' tutti gli acuti dove vanno a finire????Questo nn l'abbiamo mai capito, x nn parlare poi di SQUILLO cosa ke Domingo forse nn ne conosceva proprio l'esistenza!!!

[liEder89]

@pavarottithebest ..acuti????ahahaha..certe volte non mi so spiegare chi abbia reso cantante Domingo!Qulacuno lo avrà aiutato dico...la bellezza della voce non può fare fessi centinaia di esperti!

[pavarottithebest]

@liEder89 D'accordissimo con te.... Devono solo vergognarsi chi l'ha osannato e lo ossanna ancora mettendolo tra l'Olimpo dei più grandi tenori..... VERGOGNAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

[liEder89]

@pavarottithebest ..comprendo che sia un attore affascinante!Però...certe volte non capisco!Forse perchè non sono ancora in mezzo a cose strane di agenzie!Mha...e non è solo un prolema di domingo!Domingo e co. (tra cui c'è anche un certo Pav)hanno sputtanato ,cn le loro serate di fritto misto,la lirica in una maniera incredibile!A me dispiace davvero..Pav poteva fare ancora di più,invece che dedicarsi a cantare centinaia di concerti solo per il denaro!Certe cose non le comprendo...

[1112yuna]

io penso che sia come questa voce si dice vera voce.e mi da profpnda emozione e mi fa piangere!!lacrime.grazie ,grazie,signore bposton242.

[maxpertile]

Domingo is most famous 'cause Martinucci doesnt' like to give interwiew. He doesn't like media. I know him personally and I asked it four years ago :)

[primervodka]

jamas pense escuchar algo perfecto gracias bposton242

[Manricocavarado]

INCREDIBLE!!!! Just perfect!

[caruso81]

BEST EVER!!!

[sarado88]

Fantastic performance!! Bravissimo!!

[tdeane34]

Compare this to the Domingo versions. How is Domingo more famous than Martinucci? Martinucci has 10 times the instrument.

[Operafiend22]

Better agent! I wonder if Martinucci is one of the unfortunate tenors that Domingo had turned away from the Met.

[tdeane34]

Maybe, huh? Like Giacomini!

[GermanOperaSinger]

And Araiza. What a crook Domingo was.

[akattara]

Keeping it dramatic all the way through!

One of the best performances I've heard with this aria.

Thank you for posting

[bposton242]

It is just about perfect isn't it?

[tdeane34]

I can't stop listening to this!!

[tdeane34]

That is one of the best things I have ever heard.

[laonirica]

Bravo!!!Maestro Nicola Martinucci!!!, la Ultima Gran Voz, para éste Rol, Si el Maestro Puccini, estuviera entre Nosotros, lo besaría en la frente!!!

[macciboma]

Bravo tenore drammatico adatto al ruolo, Martinucci è molto convincente, Grazie Elba di avermi proposto il video Walter

[guy1938]

très bon ténor bravo

[tenorotti]

It is obvious this is the voice neede for Des Grieux. Armiliato is a much too light voice and always sings like a baby and not manly. This is a voice con i coglioni.

[CONTESTAR]

WOW!! What a performance from a tenor I have always admired immensely... and I -as everybody else- wonder what did theatres and agencies had been thinking, not casting and recording him on the major scale he deserved!!

[manliofini]

Today we miss this kind of performers...but at that time he was always very much criticized. Can somebody compare his high notes at the end with Placido's one ??? This was a real tenor.

[aspsingr]

what was he criticized for? This is perfect singing. Much better than Domingo!

[giacomolaurivolpi]

unbelievable tenor, does anyone know what is he doing now a days?

[udilio]

canta ancora banissimo ma i teatri fan cantare quel cesso di villanzon

[BariTenoreDram]

uhauhauhuha sei un grande ed hai ragione

[zany59]

hai ragione questo è un grande tenore con una voce spettacolare io l'ho sentito dal vivo ma i grandi teatri fanno cantare quell'ingolato di villanzon...una vera vergogna!!!!

[liEder89]

@udilio ...ahahahahahah..si si...tremendo!

[matiasquiroz80]

bravo!!!!!!

[iscarechildren]
