Love the Squillo,, Great use of Language, Thanks for posting this video of this Great Singer, Truly one of a Kind, and never to be forgotten, thanks to your posts and youtube!
I LOVE Bechi. A true Italian dramatic baritone! What a huge,rich, vibrant tone, buttressed by plenty of temperament, PLUS those clarion high notes! NOBODY like him today, sad to say --
Dattor this recording by Gino Bechi comes from the complete set from 1941 under the supervision of Giordano himself. This is the finest Chenier,as you say ever made with Gigli singing in his favourite role, Maria Caniglia in fine form and Gino Bechi as Gerard ,and a young Giulietta Siomionata Giuseppi Taddei playing three roles !!I challenge anybody to say that the final duet as Chenier and Maddalena go to the guilotine is not the most impassioned opera singing ever recorded!
Meravigliosa voce quanto tempo è passato da quel fatastico Andrea Chenier in piazza duomo

Listen to Fuffo's he'd mind. It will give you allot of insight.

First there was Ruffo, then Stracciari, then Bechi; then................ We have sadly lost this vero leone type of Italian baritone!!!

... then Taddei, Bastianini, Protti, Gobbi... not to mention all those that came after, that I don't even know about!
Every era produces its own excellence, based on changing tastes. I bet if you looked, you could find some.

Yes, few (if any) baritones can produce such dramatic intesity using such warm, beatiful tone. It is almost a lost art.

Tuve el honor y el grandísimo placer de conocer a este maravilloso barítono, pero nunca lo vi en directo, me parece una voz excelsa.
