Good, but I definitely notice some aging in his voice. He probably wasn't feeling good; listen to him cough a few times. I think his health was deteriorating right around this time. Still, this is the Gigli I love. :)

Yes, you are right. This was indeed his farewell concert. He died not long afterwards. He suffered from severe diabetes.

you listen to modern day tenors on classic FM and then you say to yourself;" Why dont they play Gigli's version!" I have the 10inch LP 'Jewels of song' The best recording i have ever heard of the Besause by Benjamin \Goddard, 1946. What a 'Gem' have you heard this recording?

@kiwihans I have a recording of the song, but it is from his album "Canti Sacri." I don't know if it is from the same recording session or not. It is posted on my channel.

thanks again. I read Gigli's life story. His opening words were " If God had not given me this voice, I would not be writing this book"...Ive never forgotten those words. They teach us all much. Also, Gigli trained for TEN years before his debut, aged 24 and one first prize over `149 other tenors!

@kiwihans Thanks for an interesting comment. Yes, he was a boy soprano, and widely regarded even then. At the beginning, he sang very much as a woman sings, and his voice sometimes sounds like a female. That early reliance on the very finest and thinnest edges of the vocal cords paid him back over the course of his entire life. He never pushed that voice and never strained it unduely. He always sounded like a lyric tenor, no matter what he sang. There is so much to learn from him!

there is a wonderful LP of this faiwell concert. Is it on DVD. after this, Gigli returned to his villa in Italy and sadly died the same year! There is nothing like work to keep you alive! thanks, for allowing me to hear to best tenor ever! x

@kiwihans Thank you very much. This is from the LP, and I agree with you. I think he probably was the best tenor ever. Certainly one of the most popular!
