just a technical point even though bergonzi is a supreme artist, even the dullest dramatic tenor is much more suited to this role i mean one should never choose material that stretches the voice to the limit so that the climactic notes dont have their proper effect tenors like del mona...
NOTWITHSTANDING THE GREATNESS OF MDM THIS PERFORMANCE DEMONSTRATES THAT VERDIS MUSIC WITH THE EXCEPTION OF OTELLO IS REALLY BEST SUITED TO LYRIC /SPINTO VOICES
does anybody know what is the word shouted before no .no...... sounds like ta! could it be a way of preparing the vocal chords maybe the prompter[after all franco a tenor so needs all the help he can get ]
i looked for mark murphy stuff on youtube a few years ago there was very little so its great to hear more please keep it coming
