Cappuccilli sings Ah! per sempre io ti perdei plus scene

Bravo Piero

[operalover67]

simply great! what a desperate aria...

[OperaMystery80]

Cappuccilli was a magnificent operatic specimen of a baritone. I think with an aria as beautiful as this one though it's better suited to the passion of a tenor's voice. Baritones, even if singing beautifully about love, have a distinctly more fatherly or grandfatherly quality to the voice, a maturity and or, in some cases, cunning and knowledge or slyness. The soprano doesn't fall the the baritone! The baritone is also normally the hate-their-guts villain!

[Vladimirbukolic]

He 's a king but this registration is not his best. The intonation is often to low and he 's not together with the orchester.

[iavorpatril]

Vorrei sapere chi sono i due imbecilli che hanno votato contro. Come tutte le interpretazioni di Cappuccilli anche questa e' meravigliosa.

[xav71176]

Ah, per sempre io te perdei, fior d'amore, o mia speranza; Ah! La vita che m'avanza sarà piena di dolor! Quando errai per anni ed anni in poter della ventura, io sfidai sciagura e affanni nella speme del tuo amor. Bel sogno beato, di pace e contento, o cangia il mio fato, o cangia il mio cor. Oh! Come è tormento nel dì del dolore, la dolce memoria d'un tenero amor.

Sublime canto del maestro Cappuccilli. Sin duda uno de los grandes interpretes de baritono de I Puritani de Bellini de todos los tiempos! Bravo !!

Splendida interpretazione. Grandissimo Cappuccilli

[MrPanzer44]

Who is this "Scalpam" boasting that he has sung this rep! Probably anotherone of those belting baritones we hear so much of desperately trying to emulate the sound of capu. This rep should be sung beautifully and simply, almost like a tenor. Thats why so many baritones are burnt out these days. Please listen to the oldies- early 1900's- we have got to bring back that way of singing so as to reinject something sensitive in this new coarse vulgar world we are in.

[MrPanzer44]

Will someone explain to me what they see in this horrble rendition of this wonderful bel canto aria. Where is the true vulnerable qaulity in the voice.I just don't get it. The top sounds squeezed and tired. There is no remorse in this singing. Yet everyon ethinks it great.

[dvdgrog]

@MrPanzer44 Either you hear it or you don't. Impossible to explain. There are bound to be varying subjective responses, but your use of the word 'horrible' suggest to me that you need a new set of ears altogether.

[MrPanzer44]

trtrtytttty

[MrPanzer44]

It's awful

[MrPanzer44]

I agree with Nskull. this is not good singing. Lets get off this over the top adoration for capu. I mean just listen. The last high note sounds pushed and big wobble. Can't compare to Luca, ruffo, Stracc, etc

[MrPanzer44]

In my opinion this is filthy contrived and flat singing. scooping all over the place and sounding like an old man before his time. You cannot compare to de luca, or even panorai for that matter!

[harry8611]

@MrPanzer44

And you're such a fan of Panerai that you don't even know how to spell his name correctly.

Right.

Clueless.

[pabloricciardi]

No me canso de escucharlo! Todos los dias un par de veces... Increible... Reitero: que fraseo!

[Elgati07]

@pabloricciardi Realmente

[iavorpatril]

Senz'altro il migliore!

[Krawi6]

This comment of scalparm is ridiculous.

[scalparm]

yes, upon hearing this again I realize that the pitches are all basically accurate. To be clear-I worship this man, but I don't think this his best role. For me, Verdi suits him better.  I retract the "flat" comment.

[NSkull2991]

Thank You for realizing what I meant to tell you. Never meant to insult you but yet to correct you. If the language I used to reply your comment was too harsh , I apologize.

[NSkull2991]

That is because it IS flat... learn your music before you comment.

[scalparm]

Dear NSkull,

I know the music extremely well and perform this on a regular basis. Consider who you're addressing before being an ass.

[MrPanzer44]

oooh goody for you, you twat

Il BEL CANTO ALL'ITALIANA DI UN VOLTA. GRANDE CAPPUCCILLI

[lamsalgado]

Wonderful music, unbeliavable singing! Cappuccilli is pure beauty! Thx for the posting, the sound is excellent too!---Luiz

[Kievest]

The epitome of the Verdi baritone blesses

our ears with effortless perfection. Cappuccilli's profound understanding

and flawless voice enthrall the listener

with intimate communication. Thank you.

[luisenes]

si en el verismo es el rey,en el bel canto es el emperador.

[ginodina]

e in Verdi e un Dio

[neochmia]

God that voice is incredible : every repertoire becomes wonderful and so living !

Thanks for posting it

[harry8611]

Bel Canto baritone just doesn't get any better than that. Never has done, not even De Luca, and I don't expect it never will, cetainly during my lifetime. Not sure its even possible. This may be perfection.

[luisenes]

ths its closeest to perfection

[harry8611]

In the words of a well respected opera singer on hearing this for the first time when I played it for her...."That's F*****g FANTASTIC!!! That's what that is!!!!"

Pretty much makes the point.

[lamsalgado]

Yes! Unbelievable! A friend of mine said Cappuccilli should be remembered! But as we listen here he IS UNFORGETTABLE, isn´t he?--KRs--Luiz
