Franco Bonisolli in a mistake "Di quella pira"! Listen!!!

[cogitoergoboh]

la stecca ci sta, una goccia di saliva....o altre cause ...ci mancherebbe, ma poi mi sembra di capire riprova l 'acuto finale, ecco li si capiscono i limiti...........

[AadJans1]

Grande Tenore !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bonisolli deserves A Big Aplaus.

He was just human, and that,s okee.

[GERMANYFrankie]

one of the most difficult aria!

[tiyenin]

1:50

You're welcome.

[clown84700]

Ohhhhhhh....



[assindiastignani]

i'm not really sure what this has to do with music, art or opera, but it is truly hilarious and sooo typical Bonisolli - to come back and sing it again (a cappella) and then the same idiots who were booing start screaming bravo.

[manrico2011]

Bonisolli, Grande para lo bueno y Grande para lo malo

Vaya testa di tenore Grande Bonisolli

[1401JSC]

1. You should not transpose the Aria to C major unless you're very sure of obtaining the high note. Otherwise better sing it lower.

2. Happily, the orchestra in Barcelona has much improved since then.

[vanzofaust]

So Franco Bonisolli made a mistake on a high note. Ok, one of the most well-known hi Cs in the opera repertory.  So what? It can happen to ALL singers, including the most famous.

[Vendimi3]

Senza parole. Uno dei più grandi tenori - e personaggi - di sempre.

[piikkikruunu]

BRAVO!!!!!

[31122051]

MERAVIGLIOSO BONISOLLI !!! ORGOGLIO ITALIANO DI PRIMISSIMO LIVELLO !!! TENORI COSI' NON ESISTONO PIU' ! FRANCO CI MANCHI !

[suchero]

@31122051 che palle quadrate che ha mostrato!

ha dato soddisfazione al pubblico e ha voluto dire a tutti: ho sbagliato una volta, ma ecco come si fa il vero "all'armi"!

[assindiastignani]

@suchero ...oppure dire: Volete fischiare a me? Va fa'n culo - velo mostro come si lo fa!!" Che palle enorme! Che tipo. Ci mancano ora le grandissime personalità come lui.

[suchero]

@assindiastignani non credo, perchè il pubblico non ha fischiato al momento della stecca, ma soltanto quando bonisolli incazzato per l'errore ha gettato a terra la spada (ci sono i resoconti della serata).

comunque qui non dà il suo meglio, guarda su youtube ad esempio quando la canta a vienna accompaganto dal piano...Lì FA DAVVERO PAURA!!!!

[kourouyann]

I have heard him live in San Francisco Opera, and he was extraordinary, both singingwise and actingwise...

[tobobba]

sad

[runhardhooah]

I don't get it? He came and sang a line as a little encore?

[Randidan]

@runhardhooah ...to show that the strangled note was one off, that he really could DO it.... For many of us, forcing and pushing the voiced like that is not a good way to sing.

[agreatgeat]

@Randidan Eh, I thought the man who screamed "bravo!" after the encore was sarcastic?

[outrun79]

Già me l'immagino che stecca la nota finale, getta la spada in terra e incazzatissimo esce dal palcoscenico... dietro il sipario tira ancora qualche parolaccia al vento, poi rientra e con tutto il fiato che aveva riprova il DO finale..

Che orgoglio, che grande personaggio!

:-)

[bodiloto]

@outrun79 mi ricordo la sua voce dal vivo e confermo  che orgoglio,che grande personaggio ! I tenori come Bonisolli non esistono piu,é finita .

[MARKLYN56]

Azz.. che stecca !!!

[discobraccio]

THE BIG!!

[ForAll23]

Beautiful timbre.

All great tenors do one or a few mistakes.

This goes for Björling, Domingo, Gedda, Pavarotti, Stefano, etc.

No big deal.

[grandemarione]

ricordo a tutti che franco bonisolli ha sempre cantato la pira in tono e tante volte la trissava senza mai steccare!!!!

[31122051]

Non sarà certo una stecca a ridimensionare la bravura di questo STRAORDINARIO interprete. Semplicemente MERAVIGLIOSO !

[telsfor07]

A ustedes los que critican a tenores como Bonsolli y otros, yo quisiera saber cuales (por sus nombres, por favor) son, para opinon de ustedes, los tenores cuyas voces son las perfectas; es decir, voces a las que no encuentren falla alguna. Tambien me gustaria saber que virtud los cualifica a ustedes para asi poder criticar. Si es que son "connaisseurs" en la materia.

[francotiradorbb]

@telsfor07 aun no se encuentra una falla similar a lo largo de la magestuosa carrera de Alfredo Kraus

[telsfor07]

Another mistake, to my judgement: Instead of saying "non puo frenarmi il tuo martir", he says "non puo frenarmi il mio martir". At least, that's what I hear. I will appreciate a comment on this.

[lhrlyc]

i saw him 2 times [both as calaf] and was not very impressed ....

[TheEternaut]

Barking? I wish my Doberman could bark like that! Jokes apart, his talent was great. Some people prefer other kind of tenors, and it is quite respectable. But let us not miss the chance to enjoy such an artist. Thanks for posting this video Radames!

[mediterraneo1000]

a great great tennor this is not a girly tennor

[ReardonSteel1]

Better a "bark" than the whiny, low testerone, hairless little boys squeaking these days.

[kungura]

@ReardonSteel1 agreed!! sometimes you have to be an animal on stage, and not so 'technical and bothered about the beauty of the voice'

[PEAinSwe]

I don't care about mistakes or no mistakes. This is a "barking" tenor.

[promptersbox]

A GREAT barking tenor!

[anaclase67]

he oui c un grand tenor mais il craque son aigu quand meme!!!!

[denccian]

in this video some person say's

"boooo que pasaaaa???" ??

[bodiloto]

Bonisolli era un grandissimo tenore,bravo ,bellissima voce, e poi gli errori facevano tutti !

Bellissima interpretazione,grazie !

[PickBit]

Concordo, lo apprezzo moltissimo anche io, però anche se si sbaglia non c'è motivo di comportarsi come si è comportato lui.

Si può semplicemente chiedere scusa al pubblico, che fra l'altro non mi sembra avesse reagito male, finchè non ha combinato quello che ha combinato... :p

[bodiloto]

PickBit : essere solista non e facile ,mi creda ! E sopratutto in qusta epoca,il pubblico conosceva tutto il repertorio e non perdonava !

[PickBit]

Sì, sì, assolutamente vero e capisco che a volte agli artisti potessero girare i cosiddetti, ci mancherebbe; però se uno di loro per rabbia rompe gli oggetti di scena e li lancia sul palco o peggio all'orchestra, è tutto esclusivamente a danno della sua immagine...

Ah e ti prego non darmi del "lei" che mi fai sentire vecchio! ;p

[LordoftheTrapdoors]

Bonisolli fa un'esecuzione splendida, cedendo solo sull'acuto finale e quattro cretini lo booano . Poi il tenore, con una trovata di totale cattivo gusto, spara un do4 inutile solo per dimostrare di poterlo fare e i quattro coglioni subito lo applaudono (mentre ora meriterebbe di essere fischiato davvero)

[WINSTONS123]

la pacchianata finale è stratrosferica :D

mi ha fatto troppo ridere !

bonisolli era un po pazzo ma divertente!

[PickBit]

Credo che lo abbiano booato solo perchè si è incazzato come una bestia per l'errore e ha scassato la spada che aveva in mano sbattendola sul palco (lo so perchè me lo hanno raccontato persone che erano là)

[enricodicapri]

si, es de mal gusto pero tambien hace al espect'aculo. ya me hubiera gustado a mi presenciar una escena copmo esta con un tenor de este carisma!

[ronalmart]

me parece de mal gusto dar informacion mailicosa referente a un gran tenor que entrego mas luz que sombra en sus interpretaciones...de muy mal gusto!!

[moiselechat]

Imbécile !, il a été un des meilleurs trouvère de sa génération

[jeanmolin55]

Non ha alcun senso pubblicare gli errori! TUTTI i tenori, anche i più grandi, hanno preso qualche stecca. Se non errori anche più gravi che gli orecchi dei cosidetti critici hanno fatto finta di non sentire, o proprio non hanno sentito! Facilissimo essere critico in poltrona! Vadano loro sul palco dove non hai possibilita di reply. Quanto a Bonisolli è un grande che merita rispetto! Fate sentire la sua stupenda voce, non gli errori!

[adriangans]

Bravo!

[zs1968]

@jeanmolin55 100% d'accordo con Lei! Magari ci fossero ancora tenori del calibro di Bonisolli oggi sulle scene......

[tenor9216]

i don't like his sound that much... it sounds extremely strained, as if he tried to have a big sound too much

[RADAMES1983]

Let me guess- are you a baroque or very lyric tenor?... :))

[tenor9216]

ya, kinda lol... more of a leggiero tenor probably (even though 17 is a bit young to be sure). I still like this kind of repertoire a lot, but this doesn't sound that healthy to me... to give you an idea, my favorite Manrico is Giuseppe di Stefano, because in general i tend to like more natural voices (and he has an extraordinary musicality, but that's off topic...). i guess it's just a matter of opinion after all...

[RADAMES1983]

Stefano is great! But not for learn the technique.

He liked to use an "open" uncover sound during and after the passagio.

Because of it he killed his voice very fast....

[Bsonnete]

that's right, but that technique was very used on that time.

[federic017]

@RADAMES1983 Sono perfettamente daccordo con lei . Un saluto

[thehix]

@RADAMES1983 It's incredible that most people are not accustomed to the fact that the passagio needs to catch depth no matter how leggiero you are. Placement in crap. It's all in getting the U vowel color on all vowels. Sing like a tenor in the low register, like a baritone in the passagio and like a bass in the acuti. All while keeping chest in by basically...speaking.

[vivegedda]

@tenor9216 He had everythin g but musicality and not half the voice necessary to sing this role!!!What are you talking about? By yourself a pair of ears!!!

[tenor9216]

@vivegedda What do you mean "everything but musicality"? I think he was extremely musical... and ya, I could agree he was a bit on the light side for a role like this. Still, I can only admire his heartfelt interpretations.

[vivegedda]

@tenor9216 Di Stefano? Musicality? Buy yourself a good pair of ears!!

[Honken]

Listen to his old recordings of Traviata (1968). He used to be a very lyrical and beautiful tenor.

I love both Bonisollis: the sane, beautiful one and the crazy dramatic mofo he was. ♥

[MarkJohnMaguire]

@tenor9216 I think your assessment is correct! Bonisoli started in the lyric range (Nemorino, Des Grieux et al) and gradually expanded his repertoire. By 1983 he is showing all the signs for which he was criticised: straining his voice, barking out the notes, all too frequently missing them - and not seeming to care! He seemed to abandon or lose the fine singing of his earlier career... I think far too many Italian tenors in the 60s and 70s tried to be del Monacos and it was ruinous really. 

[Nater389]

Shows balls to come out again and finish the note. I love it.

[purecriticism]

WTF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why did people clap??????? This is so embarrassed ! He should run out of the stage after that Big Rooster ! jajaja

[deslome]

no se tendria que subir esto, me parece injusto desemerecer con esto a un tenor del tamaño de bonisolli...

[palymusic]

Quanta generosità in questo tenore dalla natura straordinaria... e dal timbro bellissimo...

grande Franco sempre e nonostante qualche normale defajance...

grazie per averci emozionato tantissime volte ...

[Coborriu]

Llàstima que no es vegi en video!

Quan Bonisolli acabà, després del "gall", el públic l'aplaudí com si no hagués passat res; i ell, visiblement disconforme, demanava ostensiblement que no l'aplaudissin. Fins que va fer la nota fallada a capella, ara perfectament. I el públic embogí.

Sembla mentida però ja fa vintisis anys d'això.

[Englishtenor2]

Oh dear! He did sound so laboured though, even at the start. It's far too slow (They're running off to war for goodness sake!!!) and lagubrious...

[PickBit]

The audience praised him as he deserved. This was his only mistake in his whole career. He was so furious at himself that he broke the sword he was holding and went out of stage. Then he came back and executed just that "DO" he had missed in a perfect way, just as he always did.

Must have been a sensational show...

What a great artist he was.

[BorisGodunov]

Bonisolli was an insufferable diva who was only interested in showing off and attaining his own personal glory. You can find tons of accounts on the internet of his appalling behavior (like Muti's Rigoletto in Vienna). He also made PLENTY of mistakes (see the 1985 Pittsburgh Gazette review of his Ballo). In short, Bonisolli had a great instrument, but everything else about him as a professional artist was quite repulsive.

[PickBit]

He had his own attitude problem, true, but I wasn't judging him for that, I was judging his capabilities as a singer.

Also this was the only on stage mistake he did in "di quella pira" that was what I meant.

Finally receiving a bad review on a performance does not necessarily imply having made a mistake, though I'm not denying he may have made one...

[BorisGodunov]

Actually, there's an account of his performing Di quella pira in Hamburg where he had to stop before the high C and ask for "wasser."

I don't deny he had a great voice, as I said, but when I personally consider "great artists," I have to consider the whole package. I don't think people with attitudes like Bonisolli should be excused because of their talent. Audiences appeared to think the same, because there are plenty of accounts of him being booed for his antics.

[PickBit]

There are people who say Del Monaco was a light headed fool and a bufoon. True or not does it make you consider him less of a myth?

I'm not saying I approve of Bonisolli's behaviour, just that when I listen to him I care not at all for his bad character, I just enjoy his marvelous voice and for what I can tell his audience agreed with me most of the time

[piasecznik]

There's another, even worse version of the same aria by him on YouTube, in a Hamburg Staatsoper performance.

[saintbarbara]

He was struggling beginning to end.

What a travesty at the end. and didn't the audience know it!

[virr23]

did anyone know what the audience said after that?

[iltenoredramatico]

this is like a whole step lowered. what is this? sigh.

[voltape]

I have been trying to find the mistake ' I think you mean "era gia figlio prima d'amarti non puo frenarmi il MIO martir". Is that? and of course the breaking of his voice at the end. But is this a public presentation or just a rehearsal? Finally he does a good job.

[RADAMES1983]

Hehe!

No, it is tha cracked "do" at the end, and if you continue to listen, you'll find out thed he repeated only the "do" again.

That's the point of this record... :)

(It is a live opera performance)

[tenorpedrovargas]

someone mention that kraus cracked at one time in his career. may question is did he crack? cause I don´t think so.

[tena2]

I dont think Kraus ever cracked at all, but if he did and there is a recording then please lets ask to be posted, we can probe many times that Luciano cracked and also It can be probed that Big Luciano did not have a solid tecnique as his voice was not that firm in his upper register most of the times, however I have to admit that I adored him, his vocal instrument was divine when in good condition. Kraus sung even ill and no one noticed in the theater.

[APaivaM]

That's right. Its hard to believe that Kraus had never ever cracked in singing in his entire life, but it seems to be that he always managed to avoid cracks when he was singing "on stage" during a concert. Kraus was a master.

[tena2]

you said it, he was a master, a true gentleman and a humble tenor.

[greghauser]

Completely unbelievable. Thank You, RADAMES 1983!

[cleanears]

Bonisolli was really good... His ebullient personality was not well appreciated amongst the theaters and the record companies, but he had technique, could sing and had the right kind of voice to sing the roles he sang! Good going Radames1983

[RADAMES1983]

1- I didn't say that there is C in Recondita, but doningo cracked even the Si bemoll of it....

2- "I know people who know people who know..."

Your friends could only dream to be like him...

[jqoqnqiq]

just a bad day

[sefo68]

hahahaha il circo

[dibeling]

Damn right! Better late than never!

[aljathro]

Por favor, eso no resta ni un milímetro la grandiosidad de Franco Bonisolli, el más grande intérprete de Manrico que haya oído hasta el momento.

[songsofscarlet]

HAHAHA!!!!! I fuckin love Bonisolli!!! Totally adding this to my favs:)

[arturovilla02]

es tambien un ser humano

[Liwah]

LOL... I love this guy!

[TheInquisitive4Ever]

Stefak is correct. Opera is indeed a blood sport of sorts in Italy, especially for a tenor, and especially if you sing at La Scala. It's a do or die venue where the men are differentiated from the boys. We need more Bonisolli's in opera! It makes the art form so exciting. And what's the point in mentioning Domingo here. He was the King of Transposed Roles and Cracked Notes.

[RADAMES1983]

Bravo!

[stefakamelpash]

It's really important to get into the spirit of Italian Opera as blood sport to properly appreciate this. People loved Bonisolli in spite of the fact that he was a little wacky. Who Cares! He had a great high voice, he was on much more than he was off. He brought some fun into the whole business, which can take itself much too seriously sometimes. Bravo, Pazzo! Listen to the bravos at the end. Italins love a genuine character:)

[RADAMES1983]

Thank you for the smart comment :)

[RADAMES1983]

Bonisolli is one of my favorit tenors!!!

[RADAMES1983]

You know?

When Mr. bellinianodoc will sing like Bonisolli, I'll start hearing him...

There are many stupid singers but not maestro Bonisolli.

Listen to his early Alfredo..

Listen to the full Il Trovatore (Arena di Verona), Turandot (with 3! "C"s on "ti voglio ardente d'amor" on the 2-d act), listen to his Neapolitan songs...

Bonisolli was a very smart musctian. I don't think it is a trick (he never did it any more). Everybody crack sometime (listen to Domingos

[RADAMES1983]

Bonisolli was a stupid tenor??

Sorry man... It only says something about yourself....

[RADAMES1983]

"Recondita armonia" with Sinopoli on the Met...)

But Bonisolli did the "C" again to prove that "nothing happened"...

[comoelorto]

Bonisolli was just a tenor...

[Cantachepassa]

Bisogna accettare anche le sconfitte certe volte,forse non era il caso di ritornare sul palco e dire al publico la mia voce e' ritornata! Comunque un grande cantante.

[billyguns2]

Opera as circus; non mi piace.

[bellinianodoc]

IMO there're no doubts that was only a trick to be even more theatrical than Verdi arranged. Helas! Very often the more precious treasures - and the voice of Bonisolli was a casket full of gold - fall in the hands of some poor fisherman...

[novasafo]

wow, this is an amazing artifact! Thanks for sharing it. I'm so glad I got to hear it. I can't believe he came back on and sang the high C again! I wasn't expecting that, at all. I almost fell out of my chair sitting here in front of my computer.

[RADAMES1983]

Thank you :)

[shyZolomouc]

Wow! My dear - as you can see we all are only people and we can make mistakes... I love Bonisolli´s voice. He was a real heroic tenor but today I fell in love with him! It´s a pity we can´t meet more.... :-((((((

[corellilover]

which is the idea of posting this,yes he cracked, so what!!

[ERiCDrAyViN]

It's good to hear mistakes, makes you know they're just humans and makes me admire the singer more when they do get those huge notes.

[allanaki]

Anche io sono cantante e, nonostante il grande nome di Franco Bonisolli, quello che ha fatto è una grande pagliacciata, fatta soltanto per strappare un applauso in più. Io non la chiamo arte, questa... poi... sbaglierò....

[ERiCDrAyViN]

That was so good the way he came and did it again after a while. :-)

I wouldn't have thought to do that, and it shows any of his new fans to not lose faith in him. Asi f to say He's not going anywhere yet!

Very professional in my opinion.

[RADAMES1983]

agree with you!! :))

[macciboma]

È umano steccare sarà sucesso a tanti Tenori,

bravo Radames che hai potuto farcelo vedere

Grazie.

[Etnalleb]

Bonisolli and Maria Callas would have been the Utimate pair. Callas once cracked in the middle of her aria,stopped the whole performance and told the Conductor to start the entire aria all over again. Bonisolli at least had the decency to wait until the curtain call. As far as Domingo and Carreras they should never have cracked. Neither 1 could hit a high C and always had it transposed down a half tone and at that Carreras struggled with the high B.his facial expressions are hideous .

[GermanOperaSinger]

Once in a performace in Vienna, Bonisolli stopped the orchestra because he failed to hit the first C, called for water, and after a few minutes, blasted out a perfect C and went on like nothing had happened. Have the recording if you want to hear it.

[OettingerCroat]

LOL, yes please!

[GermanOperaSinger]

I've uploaded it, see my channel.

Cheers.

[Etnalleb]

LOL; I believe it GermanOperaSinger, Bonisolli was quite Pazzo, but damn the man could sing like a god. As i said he and Callas would have made a great pair. Sure send me the recording i'll never turn down a Bonsisolli performance. As crazy as he was he was still better than all the tenors we have to day.

[GermanOperaSinger]

I've just uploaded it on my channel.

Cheers

[RADAMES1983]

Oh I would like to hear this!!!

[Chennirei]

How many times did this incredible technician sing this aria perfectly! He is not a machine and he cracked once. Big deal. Et il ne chant pas trop fort. C'est merde! Les tenors francais chantent toujours sans cojones!

[TrovadorManrique]

AAAAAAH! Había oído hablar de esta anécdota, pero no sabía que existiese constancia fonográfica... ¿Se pegó un saltito al final del do de pecho? Un do de pecho sin saltito al final no es un auténtico do de pecho... :)

[ezayi]

Well,he cracked... AND?. Shit happens. What I find extremely RIDICULOUS and VERY bad taste is, singing the note in his curtain call. Everybody knows he has the high C. Why singing it after?. Egocentrical and ridiculous.

[RADAMES1983]

Because the public is wating for the famose Bonisolli's C... :)

And also, TENOR olways has to prove himself...

[ezayi]

A tenor doesn´t have to prove anything to anyone. When Pavarotti, Domingo, Carreras or Kraus cracked, they didn´t do that. That´s just another tenoritis aguditis behavior that make them look stupid.

[RADAMES1983]

Haha... :)

Generaly I agree with you...

But in this case, I've found it very sweet :))

Bonisolli is Bonisolli...

[APaivaM]

Kraus never cracked...

[ezayi]

Prove it!

[tena2]

You are very right, Alfredo Kraus never cracked in history, whoever want a probe wont get it, as I cannot probe a vocally mistake ever made. Kraus was a vocal hero, he was fantastic and I still admire him so much.

[luisenes]

es cuestion de orgullo y tenacidad,puedes caer una vez y levantarte,para proseguir il tuo caminar

[Dekyi1210]

I have seen Franco as Manrico many, many times, in Vienna and Verona, and all were great performances. So I´m really astonishd to hear his voice crack. You´re right, Radames, he really had a unique technique, singular in the last 30 years, maybe together with Bergonzi and Kraus. I heard him the last time in Fedora and Trovatore in 99 and 2000, at the age of 61, after the tragedy with Sally. And his voice was fully intact!

[montoyapaulo]

Hi, I'm not exactly sure why you compare Bonisolli with Bergonzi and Kraus, with these last two being the standard of excellence in vocal purity, elegance and intelligence, which are qualities I don't associate with Bonisolli even at his best (qualities I DO associate with him are power, force and excitement-a bit like Corelli but not quite as expressive). I'm not having a go at you, I'd just like to know the reasoning behind your comparison. Thanks.

[RADAMES1983]

Listen to some records of Bonisolli, here on youtube. Different stuff like veri, puccini, neapolitan songs abd franch opera, and you will see that Bonisolli is one of the greatest masters of vocal art (as a vocalist and as a musician!), on the same list with caruso, di stefano, del monaco, pavarotti, bergonzi, kraus and gedda...

as well as cecchele, who was less known, and much better then many well known tenors...

[WMP777]

Muy de acuerdo con su critica positiva tomando encuenta el total de su carrera.

Tengo el primer disco que grabo. Decresendos increibles en tesitura alta. cantaba arias de La Favorita con voz segura y al final pianissimo. Facultades vocales extraordinarias. Fue un tenor completo

[guy1938]

il chante trop fort il en donne trop

[Cesaare]

Great voices crack sometimes: to sing a high C in Cabaletta is extremly dificult that's why so many tenors including our beloved Pavarotti sang it half a tone lower

Jose Cura sings it one tone lower and still cannot hold Bflat:)

Those who know real opera and not exclusively from Cd's or DVd's will apriciate singers like Bonisolli and not like Alagna who has no buseness of doing heavier roles like Radames cause he sounds terrible in a real opera house.

Bonisolli was a unique caracter:)

[RADAMES1983]

Presisely!

During my vocal study in Moscow (2 years, 2006-2007) I used to visit the Bolshoi opera, and not only the bolshoi, almost every week. Those who visit real opera no, that there is a very important thing like a power of endurance. Bpnosolli have had so brilliant techniqe, that his voice was brilliant during all the opera, and not only on the thirst half and the arias (as many singers).

[RADAMES1983]

Look also how long are his high notes, and at the same time they are allways sopported and never screaming.

It is very very difficult, and very few singers can do it...

On a CD, you can do everything, and that's the reason why i prefer a mid live recording then a good quolity CD...

[berladana]

Thank you very much for this clip...

i heard to much about that but i did not hear till now...

He was a such great voice with wrong technik(my opinion)...

and such a colorfull personility(this is why no one booed him like alagna...

thanx...

[RADAMES1983]

I don't agree with you.

I think Bonisolli have had a perfect vocal techniqe. look! we sang a lot, very very difficult parts, and his voice sounds allways clear and fresh.

His pianissimo ans mezzo voce is cleen and wonderfull (as his powerfull fortissimo). Heis respiration and support is perfect! His hogh nores are bright and his low register sounds like bariton...

[Cesaare]

I think most of the people who cannot afford to go to a real opera house get used to "Perfect DVD recordings" that never give a true ballance or sounds and often fix them that they can be sold better. Record componies can fix the ballance and even the pitch or replace a cracked note(Domingo)

Bonisolli is a caracter but I agree he had a very solid tecknique

[RADAMES1983]

In this case the reason wan's taerd voice (after it he sings a wonderfull high C)...

Have you listend his Arena di Verona Il trovatore famose Video?

He sing's Di quella pira twice! and then continue to sing all the opera...

And what about his 5 high "Do" in "Ti voglio ardente D'amor" In live performance of Turandot?....

[berladana]

ha ha...

I know him realy gut and i heard him so many time...

with his voice i agree but with his technik i think difrent and i am not speaking about this recording...this is about taste of technik..

i have a respeckt about your thinking...

but as a professional tenor and same fach i think he sang perfect and he had a everytime super high c but other tones?but i love him too...

[gmmix]

A climax to remember! Thanks for this video.

[Stereo4102]

For less than that, Roberto Alagna was booed a few time ago. LOL

[grupetto]

HA,HA,HA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!!!! Bonisolli is totally mad!!

[operabitch77]

ouch!!! this HURTS my throats!!!! when he is not screaming its not a bad voice! but, when he yells (which is all the time) its terrible!!

[RADAMES1983]

Ascolta del "Non ti scordar di me" con lui, E assulutamente meraviglioso!

[slingarde]

a brutal impressive voice....but opps!
