  • I can't understand a single word she is singing. Saw her as Turadnot at Covent Garden several years ago. Yes, a huge voice, but no subtlety or flexibiluty at all. One of the greates? Get serious.

  • @baricoop

    In some ways... Vinay is a true Baryton singing tenor... Giacomini is a true tenor, with a dark timbre... ;-)

    But, compare Giacomini to Vickers 1958 in London... Both have a dark timbre with a ringing easy top range... In all cases, my two prefered Don Carlos...

  • Don Carlo is a young man, Giaco's voice is too old to be him...

  • Alessandra Marc has one of the most beautiful voices in the world. If you never heard her live in an opera house, you have no idea what power, beauty and effect this voice had. Hearing her here is like looking at a photo of Niagra Falls. You have to be there...next to it...and then you get it. Brava, diva. And here...with the fabulous Giuseppe Giacomini...the two of them together...an experience that I only wish I had been at to hear...Magnificent!

  • Oh well, Giacomini, Martinucci and Bonisolli wouldn't sure had deserved less than the "official" three tenors.

    And I could add others, from Luchetti on...

  • Alessandra Marc sings so beautifully. This is a fantastic performance.

    PS - Those of you with negative things to say about this performance can take your dirty comments and shove them where the sun don't shine.

  • Giacomini sang at the Met from the mid 70s to the late 80s. It should have been longer. Giac had a lot going against him I think. For one, I would guess that the "3 tenors" had a lot of influence in keeping other potential stars down. maybe i'm being a little conspiracy theory here, but i've heard this from ppl in the biz. Also, Giac was not so handsome or good on stage. I've also heard he was unreliable/inconsistent vocally. What a voice though!

  • I think that giacomini's voice is reminiscent of Ramon Vinay, the great chilean tenor/baritone. Anyone else think so?

  • Giacomini splendido. Senza parole.

  • In what language is Marc singing?
