  • Just look at he's eyes, he's completely wicked!!!

  • I have always held Tito Gobbi in high regard, and this performance just shows what a fine performer he was. His beautiful voice, strong musicianship and outstanding acting ability alone are enough to warrant a place as one of the best performers of the twentieth century. Also, like with Scarpia, in which I feel he is unsurpassed, there is an intelligence and intensity here. While I prefer Sherrill Milnes' more sadistic interpretation where he is all dishevelled, Gobbi wins for tuning and style

  • Gobbi always rocks.

    I used to love this aria but now I find it a lot less scary. Somehow, basso profondo villains are creepier. People always compare Claggart's aria to this but it's actually a lot darker (and why isn't it EVER compared to Hagen's Watch I can't even)

  • Gobbi:Jago=Delmonaco:Otello

  • A friend of mine once said to me that if you could combine Tito Gobbi's brain and Robert Merrill's voice you would have had the world's greatest baritone. He may have had something there.

  • Greater baritones? Perhaps...Better actors? Well, maybe....

    But a greater combination of the two than Tito Gobbi??

    Niente, niente, NIENTE!!

  • i love that sound......"a wild, nasty, animal manhood" kind of sound.......where that sound has gone in today singing?

  • Mediocre?!!??come si permette!forse è rintronato come la campana di cui riprente l'onomatopeico soprannome??....rifletta forse le gioverebbe!!

  • Someone can post the lirycs plz? thx :)

  • Probably not the most refined baritone, not while there are recordings of Mattia Battistini and Maurice Renaud around! But one of the most passionate, yes.
