Verdi - Aida - prelude and Celeste Aida (Toscanini/Tucker)

amen to that!!

grande tecnica, una vera lezione di canto.. artista irragiungibile, oggi nessun tenore potrebbe mai fare altrettanto e lo dico con rammarico

He is on TV for the first time in 1949 a young tenor and was probably nervous but the singing is great

He makes it sound easy and maybe you should listen instead of looking since it's not a beauty contest so don't look, you should be so constipated.

Tucker is emotional????
Give me a break will ya.
He had a strong and beautiful spinto tenor, but was like a machine at work, besides I cannot watch him sing, his facial expressions make me think how hard opera is, he is in continuous constipation, no joy in his eyes or body.

Di Stefano early could diminuendo on high C better then anyone I ever heard (early) but I prefer Tucker in more Spinto roles over all the others.

I like the last Tucker, from 1970-75

Tucker did it with a lot of emotions!!! Corelli was a great voice, but Tucker also!!! Both are best of the best!!!

Don't forget Mario Lanza, as well as James McCracken (not the best, but still passable.)
