Gigli: Ridi Pagliaccio

[avalokiteshivara]

Grande Gigli!! Pena que naquela época os recursos de gravação não captaram a voz dele com toda a plenitude!

[raphabenbenjamin]

Luciano tells of the time he and his father went to hear him in Cavalleria when Gigli was 56 (?) and after the opera, Gigli sang 17 more songs. This guy for the epitiome of Bel Canto tenor. Mateo Batistini Bel Canto baritone.

Gigli!!!!

[elisaballerina456]

cool. he was my music teacher's grandfather. she's a soprano, and she's also very good.

lui era il nonno della mia insegnante di musica. è una soprano, ed è molto molto brava

[jbeer82]

Non pagliaccio non son!

I heard Beniamino Gigli when I was aged 10 I will never look to what is on the chart these days. this is real music!

[umast96]

APPLAUSO

[Aetion]

I wonder whether this is from the film I pagliacci (1943) with Alida Valli. Great Gigli had done many films.

[Aetion]

Beniamino Gigli is a legend of the opera. His voice is unique. Thanks for posting.

BTW the title is wrong.

[Killtacular652]

Anyone else think that the director of the orchestra at 1:56 looks like Rob Schnider?

[druidadru]

Absolutely... we are a family of undying comedians... and the name is Schneider... tho it's actually his mother's last name... cheers!

[polyjr]

Power and control!!!

Gigli rules!!!

[patronpatron]

The title is bad.

[ifuliki]

Ridi Pagliacci e ognun t'applaudira

[31122051]

Che agilità vocale ! Che interpretazione ! Che tecnica ! Sicuramente ( assieme a Caruso, Domingo e Bonisolli ) uno dei miglori " Canio " della storia dell'opera.

[AleBro83]

si e del monaco e corelli dove li lasciamo ???

[AleBro83]

ma ci mancherebbe ... GIGLI è UNICO IN TUTTO QUELLO CHE HA FATTO ... pero a parer mio in ruoli cosi drammatici le voci di DEL MONACO e CORELLI si esprimevano di più semplicemente per una questione di timbro vocale .... stiamo parlando di FENOMENI ASSOLUTI ...

[andreaparenti006]

secondo me ridi pagliaccio lo fa meglio pavarotti. anche se magari in origine doveva essere veloce pavarotti l'ha fatta epica. di gigli poi preferisco questa in particolar modo.

[buontenerone]

questi che nomini avevano un diverso modo di cantare nel quale erano grandi.e forse per questione di gusti o di orecchio vengono più o meno preferiti.

[AleBro83]

è sopratutto una questione di repertorio..

[primobaritono77]

An admirable attack of this aria even though Gigli still can't seem to shake his old habit of sliding around the notes for effect. I would prefer a little more baritonal chops in those explosive sections when he rails at Nedda, but Gigli never had this quality in his voice.

[hansquad]

My gosh....what a voice.........can't believe that Gigli can sin so mezzza after he sings with such voice... BRAVO!

[vivinci3]

quanti inglesi e americani che parlano del ridi pagliaccio vero orgoglio nazionale

[dragig00]

great ténor off his time ,thank you for this posting

[francotenelli]

Great Post, but the name of he Aria is "No, Pagliaccio non son"

[mxpl4]

HIs heart is bursting, and so is mine listening to it! Grazie, par la forza della natura, mio dio! It's so good there's not really any words for it. (fainting)

[BelCantoSociety]

Ridi Pagliaccio is the name of the film from which this except was taken. It is not the name of the except, which is "No! pagliaccio non son."

[Aetion]

@BelCantoSociety

You probably mean the film "I pagliacci" (1943), directed by Giuseppe Fatigati, with Beniamino Gigli, Alida Valli, Paul Hörbiger and others.

[Rossalita]

FORCE OF NATURE!!

[DashcZe]

It isn´t aria from 1. act Ridi Pagliaccio,

but aria from the end of opera"no, pagliaccio

io non so". Gigli is perfect.

[maxhansendk]

Carusos wife(!) said to Jussi Bjorling:

"Wear Enricos crown"!

She considered him the best tenor since Caruso passed away.

Many other opera connisseurs think the same:

Jussi Bjorling is really the greatest tenor of our time!

I agree!

[Tompa4321]

I agree with "maxhansendk", but I like Gigli very much too.

The story is true!

[gagga96]

We all are "Pagliaccios" but, who can express better than Gigli? Stop cry!!

[LucyHarvan]

most perfect tenor ever!

[guglielmo64]

Caruso and Gigli OWN this opera. DiStefano and Bjoerling were fine singers, but nowhere near Gigli. I'm sure they would have told you that themselves. Gigli wouldn't have said they were greater than him, because they WEREN'T!

[paulostroff99]

He,Di Stefano,and Bjoerling,are in a class of their own!

[arone64]

Who can sing this aria more dramaticly,like tenore-lirico Gigli?

[davcos22]

Gigli is great, what lovely performance, incredible video. The title is wrong.

[abednego20]

el video está mal titulado, pero me alegro mucho de haberlo encontrado. gigli es mi canio favorito.

[fabio274717]

merci pour ce bon mmment

[modglezili]

Gigli legendaruliaaaaaaaa

[pasfresh123]

This passage is "No, Pagliaccio non son". It's Canio's other big scene. He sounds A LOT like Richard Tucker (or vice-versa). I know it may be an insult to Gigli, but it's still true. OK, let's say that this is probably what Tucker was aspiring to. Gigli did not look like his head is going to explode.

[rafikcc]

Thank you for posting! Bellissimo!

[orestesavalos]

el director de la orquesta supuestamente es Ruggiero Leoncavallo y el tipo que esta viendo la opera es el canio original es un spinn off

[allinvideo]

Such a feeling. Bravo Gigli, the best tenor ever!
