  • He is worse than Bocelli. 

  • @VivaLucia Probably Stefania Toczyska

  • Two of the greatest SINGERS to ever grace the operatic stage. They are from the same school of vocal production and sound magnificent together! Bravo!

  • Love it~! Sounds like you can hear the person making the recording sigh/cry right at 8:52-55. I like to imagine that is what I hear there! Thank you Onegin65!

  • LP and LP...funny! This was when Gods still sang in the opera.

  • @Lovelytenor1

    true that, i love the restraint, most tenors belt these b flats

  • Price! .. THE Aida of the 20th Century ... BRAVA!!

  • This is just PERFECT. wHAT a nice interpretation of The Tomb Scene from Aida by Verdi. Wonderful combination of the two voices.

  • The lady was divine. She owned this role for her generation- perhaps for several. As we all know this was not LP's best role but he still sings well. His light touch on the final 2 B-flats could NOT have been done by some of the tenors you mentioned.

  • The final act of Aida would technically be called a "Scena employing 2 or more singers where an "Aria" is a set piece for principally one singer (Although another singer may have a line such as the Sacristan in "Recondita armonia." Antonio Cortis born 1891 and Hipolito Lazaro born 1887 would be contemporaries of Martinelli since much of their careers overlapped.
