  • Real man. Many tenors nowadays sing like soprano ))))) He's great.

  • @AfroPoli Transposing this aria a half tone has always been acceptable.Del Monaco had a pretty heavy voice&perhaps he did not have the confidence in his high C. He did sing an occasional C in his earlier days in Aida&Ballo. He also hits a D-flat in the Terzetto with Bastianini&Gencer which you do avoid to mention.However High C or not, it did not diminish his greatness as the most popular dramatic tenor of our time.Lets also mention his impeccable diction& phrasing&tremendous high notes.

  • The first time I saw del Monaco was when The Met came to Philly with Chenier. He was stunning.

  • @AfroPoli You really should get a life. The stupid post you made of the fake high C in Turandot, as if MDM was somehow responsible for the recording, is actually beyond stupid. It is amazing how, by posing as some kind of expert, some fools might actually believe you know something. You know nulla, nulla, nulla.

  • LASTIMA! Wonderful hero!! good song!!!

  • LÁSTIMA !! NO HABRÁ  OOTRO COMO ÉL !!! UNICO E INIGUALABLE, EL MEJOR !!!

  • What a hero :) Does anyone know when this is from?

  • che volume ragazzi

  • @andyroma72 Lo puoi dire forte!! Ma lo sentite che personalità e virilità!?

  • I sang with an Italian touring company starring Mario Filippeschi when we did the Trovatore in Madrid and he came from between the soldiers holding the ‘mi’ of the ‘alarmmi’ with sword held high walking down stage they dropped the curtain on his sword still holding the high C. He was furious! They raised the curtain again to do his ‘bis’ with another 20 sec high C. It was round and full. But we can't forget the high C’s of Franco Bonisolli at Verona's Arena. He like Filippeschi, sang it twice.

  • @tantris3 please, tell me more of mario filippeschi. he was incredible and he sang "di quella pira" always in key with giant HIGH C!!!

  • holy macaroni! what just hit me?!? You da-man, Mario Dee. Phew. Lucky dogs who got to see and hear you live.
