In the Bel Canto Society DVD Mad About Opera Bechi appears with Beniamino Gigli, Tito Schipa, Tito Gobbi, Maria Caniglia--and Gina Lollobrigida. Gobbi was the most artistic Italian baritone of the post-war period. But Bechi was the most exciting one--and the favorite baritone of Franco Corelli.--Stefan Zucker

  • Bella Italia  grande Becchi

  • Cheers mate. I find it strange that you don't hear these kind of voices anymore. they all sound so unatural now, overtrained, safe, unexiting. Why is this? I would much rather listen to the likes of these old masters than the kind of singers we hear today. Do you think it is a sad reflection of the times we live in, instant results! Greed for fame perhaps, or maybe style? Any ideas.

  • 18 and love this song

  • Does anyone have the link for this song in Italian? All I can find on the net is the original French one. Thanks in advance

  • Sounds quite odd in Italian... I kind of like it better in French, however it it were any other language (German, English) it would be even worse!

    Nonetheless, a GREAT work of art.

  • Bechi is always exciting to listen to with those open high notes. Thanks for sharing this great performance.

  • Bravíssimo! Grande Bechi.

  • The kind of people who like Justin Bieber and Britney spears

  • @ashleybremner- I totally agree with you on that. I take voice lessons and I've had teachers steering me away from THIS natural sound, but I never could give into it. I now have a teacher wanting me to sound like this and he is the best teacher I've had.

  • Lovely stuff!

  • BRAVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

  • @dpfilmsco Juan Diego Florez is a little goat tenorino who doesn't belong in a discussion about great singers.
