Ultimate Opera Quiz for Connoisseurs Part 6 - TENORS ONLY

The ultimate Operatic Quiz, for connoisseurs only - Part 6
The clips are very generous in length (at least 20 seconds), and the singers are *all* very famous - no Achille Braschi or Tenghiz Zaashvili here. All world class superstars (merited or not). This time ONLY tenors. If you *really* know your operatic voices, please post you answers here, not by PM. Good luck - you need it! :D

[maxlorenz24]

Dear Imogenn,

Number 8 is too difficult for the kids ;-)

It is Giusseppe Taccani singing "Ombra esecrata" from Mascagni's Guglielmo Ratcliff.

That's it, I'm going to the lake on holidays...have fun...

[Imogenn]

You are again going to lake Titicaca, fishing with Viracocha?

Enjoy! :)

all sung by Sloman

[FarfalloneAmoroso]

1. Googled "Genoese tenors", came up with: Mario Capello 2.Aragall 3. Pavarotti 5. Not an Italian 6. Giuseppe Giacomini 7. Hans Hotter 8. Beniamino Gigli, or is it Lauri-Volpi? 10. Domingo, and this is not his fach 11. Flipeschi 13. Bonisolli, or is it Corelli? 15. Carlo Bergonzi 16. Maybe this is Bonisolli All of them GREAT singers, except nr 4

Guesses continued:

13. Bonisolli

14. Could be Gigli

15. Tucker

[BigTezza12]

My first comment didn't go through it seems. So... 1. Campora 2. Perhaps Zambon? 3. Pavarotti 4. Not sure. Filippeschi? Bright voice. 5. Might be di Stefano? Really not sure. 6. Pattiera 7. Volker 8. No idea. 9. Ha, not going too well. Svanholm perhaps. 10. Domingo 11. Raimondi 12. ?

[MaestroAmduscias]

1. Campora 2. Campagnano 3. Pavarotti

4. Soler e Gobbi (rarissimo)

5. Rosvaenge (non è Pertile per carità...)

6. Pattiera 7. Voelker 8. Taccani 9. Soot

10. Domingo 11. Raimondi

12. Qualche tedesco 13. Bonisolli

14. Albanese... con una canzone fascista!

15. Tucker 16. Aragall (difficile questo)

Bravi Imogenn ed Afro Poli, una scelta squisita.

[maxlorenz24]

Titicaca is too to the North for me...
