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.
-
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.
Good Lord, what splendid they are here!
