A year ago when I was doing the soprano and tenor contests, I was asked to do some contests to show off the lower voices. I never got to it, until now. My first idea was to create a contest for the baritone aria in I Puritani. However, I finally deceived on Rigoletto, and the aria, Povero rigoletto ....cortigiani, vil razza dannata. I have always thought this was a heart wrenching piece, that shows a spectrum of the baritone color. We have 20 baritones here, to score use a 1-5 for both singing and characterization.

  • I love the squillo in his voice. An example for young baritones.

  • That note at 4:07 is really wonderful.

  • Straordinario interprete...ha la recitazione simile a Tito Gobbi, però con maggiore sicurezza vocale...saluti

  • Inarrivabile...

    Grazie maestro.

  • Très belle vidéo ...

    Merci pour le post !

  • Bravo

  • Egyszerűen Csoda! 1961 körül nagyon sok opera-filmet láthattam moziban! Szerencsémre a Rigoletto is közöttük volt! Nem állítom,csak remélem,hogy Aldo Protti kivételesen gyönyörű baritonját akkor hallhattam--és sírtam végig szegény bohóc tragédiáját-- Köszönöm,nagyon!

  • Whatever critique one puts forward, we are talking of extremely high standards to start with. Having said that, I wish his singing, at least in this scene, would be a little truer to the written notes and a little less uniformly loud. His acting on the other hand is simply fantastic and totally believeable. Watch his eyes!! So I give him definitely 5 for acting, and 3 for singing.

  • x me il migliore resta titta ruffo xk titta ruffo ha una punta micidiale così come vuole la tecnica antica ha gli acuti da tenore ma poi al centro e i bassi gli allarga benissimo invece vedo k protti sopra è più largo

  • Considerando la tecnica di registrazione di allora,la sua voce e' limpida e potente,bravo come TITO GOBBI.

  • Se volete ascoltare un vero baritono aprite le orecchie!!!!!Tecnica perfetta e grande interpretazione.Grandissimo..

  • Così si canta cazzo !!!
