Vesti la giubba Tenore GIUSEPPE GIACOMINI

[MrKrazykev13]

imagine taking a Shit while the song playing at 1:42 to 2:07 

[imksoon]

If the god sing a song. It will be like this sheer awesomeness voice.

[Loganberrymusic]

Giacomini's voice is so dramatic and powerful that it disturbs the listener in this aria just the way it should. A truly definitive rendition, for me anyways.

[MrFrenchaccent]

What a dark and magnificent round voice ! bravo !

[AwesomeNightman]

1:45 beautiful

[einherzundeineseele]

Giacomini ist tatsächlich - wie ein Bewunderer schon erwähnte für mich der beste dramatischste Tenor unseres Jahrhunderts. Es ist einfach nicht zu verstehen, dass er nicht die Popularität besaß wie andere mickrige Tenöre, die nur durch mehr Public Relation eindeutig mehr in der Öffentlichkeit bekannt wurden. Sehr schade für

meinen Favoriten Giuseppe Giacomini!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AwesomeNightman]

absolutly amazing

[Alexmeister25]

He is fantastic dramatic tenor.

[GuitarRocker2008]

This is the voice that Ruggero Leoncavallo wrote this song for, I mean I litterally had goose bumps listening to Him, He is Canio!

[MarcENicholson]

It is a shame he is not better known. This was one of the best voices of the 20th century. A sort of Wagnerian heldentenor in Italian repertoire. Thank goodness we have his recordings as a legacy which I suspect will exceed his in-person career and go on for decades, if not centuries.

[Aetion]

@MarcENicholson May be he was not a Wagnerian Heldentenor, but certainly a great dramatic one, who unfortunately did not gain the fame he surely deserved.

[thegnomeidentity]

@MarcENicholson there is a superb recording of him out there singing lohengrin which i heard years ago...in italian but still beautiful no doubt

[plinioramacciotti]

Giacomini, bravíssimo. Deve ser elencado entre os maiores tenores da última metade do seculo passado. Bravisssímo, Maestro. Sua voz, quando o ouvi em São Paulo, na Aida, no dizer de minha filha Thais (14 anos) parecia um holofote dirigida a cada um dos espectadores. Inesquecível.

Plinio Ramacciotti

[martialartist1089]

i like him on this song

[ezev8logos]

...sei tu forse un uom! woa

me voló los timpanos. Increible! inigualable!

[CarloQuinto]

Tremendous! I had the privilege of hearing Signore Giacomini in a concert performance of TOSCA with Carol Vaness and the Philadelphia Orchestra at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia in the early 90's. He literally shook the building. Afterward they had to check to see if there was any structural damage to the building. It measured 10 on the performance meter and 10 on the Richter scale

[MegaParzifal]

Elegantissimo

[TONYM1966]

Pavarotti sang this , Jussi Bjorling sang it and the great caroussa .But this is the best version ever . I have been looking for this snce watching the film The Untouchables in 1987 . Now im happy ! 

[einherzundeineseele]

@TONYM1966

That`s realy true" I never have heard such Voice like Giacomini with Bajazzo

Sorry I am german and my english is no good!

Thank youou TONYM1966 for your meaning!

[TONYM1966]

@einherzundeineseele ..your English is good !

[Frikinetto]

Fatale!!! quando un tenore drammatico canta come leggero... penoso

[Oberon90]

His tenor cuts through the orchestra like a big silver sword.It´s like a huge wave of sound and power.A wonderful voice, you never get tired to listen.

[raigekimaru]

this is talent you can't buy

[gabri770]

@raigekimaru you can buy it but not with money but hard work thing that now times isnt practised very much by nowday artists

[raigekimaru]

@gabri770

no you can't. it's possible to have just as successful a career, make more money and/or have better technique, but amazing voices are born just as much as made. a voice is not like external instruments. one can't just go to the store and purchase a dramatic coloratura soprano or heldentenor. the voice of giuseppe giacomini is a gem. such darkness and richness in a tenor voice is VERY rare as most tenors have naturally bright, thin voices

[comohace]

@raigekimaru de cualquier forma prefiero a domingo en este tema

[promptersbox]

A true master. Sensational artist! Bravo!

[einherzundeineseele]

Ich habe selten die Bajazzo Arie gehört, wie in dem Video gesungen von Guiseppe Giacomini.

Diese dramische Tenorstimme ist unvergleichlich

mit anderen Tenören. Er singt nicht nur, sondern ererlebt die Szene mit allem Schmerz.

Granduos!

[textus88]

Grazie Leoncavallo.Grazie Giacomini.

[bodiloto]

Sublime Giacomini ! Grazie Vincenzo

per questo bellissimo regalo,l'ultimo

vero tenore drammatico ,grazie per questo caro ricordo ! Con amicizia e tantissimo rispetto Nicola .

[einherzundeineseele]

I never heard such voice, singing Bajazzo

like Guiseppe Ciacomini- Now in german:

Warum dieser Tenor in der Opernszene nicht die verdiente Popularität fand, kann ich nicht begreifen. Da sind doch andere prominente Tenöre Waisenknaben.

[machadomusic]

¡Tan bueno, bien - hecho!

[AnryK2690]

What a Voice!

[tenorotti]

Ho avuto il grande onore di alternarmi con questo grandissimo tenore in Cavalleria e di conscerlo come uomo. E per me la piu grande voce di tenore del dopoguerra. Ascoltare Domingo dopo di lui in Fanciulla o Fedora era, a dir poco, imbarazzante.

[pathytayoscar]

GIACOMINI GIACOMINI BRAVO

[cesrra]

Una voce davero!

[claudiamuzio27]

donde esta los que se dicen buenos como Villazon ,Cura ,y Placido que jamas cantaran ni sostendran las notas asi.

[raigekimaru]

definitely not one of those wimpy tenors you see so much of today.

[PickBit]

@raigekimaru you can say that again m8, THIS is the true "tenore verdiano", the deep, heavy darkness of this voice exudes drama in every damn freaking note.

One of the greatest dramatic voices ever, without a doubt

[pie0my]

@raigekimaru Wow! He really is amazing! Yes, somehow people seem to think that tenors are necessarily light, bright voices. Certainly not true, some tenors have darker voices than baritones. I love a meaty tenor voice like this.

[oleganna]

Grandioso! Bravissimo caro Maestro!!!!!

[pecabi]

Tecnicamente perfecto

[31122051]

Bellissimo !

[KissaMyEyes]

This is one of the most spectacular 'Vesti...'s I've ever heard.

[HUGOWERTHER]

El mejor Vesti la Giubba, lejos!

[wolkowy1]

Perfect performance. Bravo. Shivers me.

[ahtenor]

have a friend video "building a mexican baritone voice"...he is doing vocal workout....please let him know your opinion.....

[WINSTONS123]

madonna che potenza.....

[Cornour]

Gia'! Secondo me uno dei piu' grandi di tutti i tempi!

[bellatrix58]

IMPRESIONANTE....

Un verdadero king kong de los tenores,

a la par de Del Mónaco y Corelli.

Felicidades.

[eneas2704]

No eniendo como Giacominni no integro el mentado trio de los tres tenores...

[voiceteacher100]

The 3 tenors thing was way too vulgar and low class for an artist like Giacomini to be part of.

One thing is to be a true artists and a very different one is to be a media stunt. Yes, media stunts make more money but they compromise their art for the sake of commercial purposes.

Fame and money are not the goal of true artists like Giacomini.

On the other side of the coin we have singers like Villazon whose goal was not to become a better artist but to gain fame and fortune... Shame on him!

[voltape]

were it nor for the 3 tenors, villazon, netrebko and other great artists who are blessed by the sneering of the know-all purists, there would be no opera at all and voiceteachers would have no students.

[voiceteacher100]

what do you mean??

[barrister79]

One of the magnificent Vesti La Giubba, indeed. Simply one of the great voice of our time.

[pearlmuth3]

hE IS MY AGE BORN IN 1940 AND I HEARD HIM LIVE IN THE HOUSE A VERY big voice, WAS VERY GOOD BESIDES.

[ojojoj51]

Yes I love the cover throughout the voice like that. He must be in or near his 70s now. He was singing quite well a few years ago, but I imagine less so now if at all.

RE: "cover"-- Leonard warren was asked once when on the way up the scale he started to cover. He replied that his whole voice was covered. you can really hear it, as you can with Giacomini. Then there's the other extreme, like Di Stefano, very open very high, and very beautiful but maybe TOO open for long-term vocal health.

[bwerth]

The voice is not "covered" throughout. Neither was Warren's despite what he said. At least not how the cover is usually defined. Giacomini does cover lower than many tenors because of the heft of his voice, but not everywhere. To sing permanently in the cover is as inefficient and dangerous as to sing open all the time. Regardless of that argument, Giacomini is a god and it is a true shame that he hasn't experienced the fame his incredible talent warrants.

[ojojoj51]

bwerth--

Well, I suppose Warren knew more than me, and maybe even more than you, about his own voice. If he chose the term "covered" to describe his own voice , that's good enough for me. As to my use of the term to describe Giacomini's voice, it was only in response to Singerputsch's use of the term. I know I was taught to sing that way, and I would definitely describe my own voice as "covered" from top to bottom. You seem to have WAY too much time on your hands.

[ojojoj51]

I saw him do the role. magnifico1 I heard many others. G was easily the best I heard. When hit hit the B on " a venti TRE ore" the house emitted an audible group gasp, and hands and arms went toward the ceiling as if in amazement. I'm not exaggerating!

[Webarton]

i think that this guy might be the greatest ive ever heard...

[Singerputsch]

Thank you describing a woderful moment and such a live reaction from the audience. To G.s Canio: One can hear the choice to use cupo (covered tone) throughout- its terrific -

Is he still singing?

[tenoreDB]

@Singerputsch yes he is!! and there is harly a difference when he was young.

his high notes are still fabulous ( great V that rings your ears off) and the voice is still a huge powerhouse.

Hearing him live is an experience off his own

[bwerth]

best vesti la giubba ever. Just incredible.

[bellatrix58]

This is the right voice for this aria, so dramatic that it is difficult to say if a dramatic tenor or a baryton with high notes is singing. Great!!.

[Cesaare]

That's the voice for Canio
