  • Gobbi IS Rigoletto.

    Neri, poor fellow, was a real great bass. Why have men like him die so early? This is so un-justice.

  • Well, fideliosmum, the range of a voice is determined by the size of the larynx (voice box) and therefore the length of the vocal cords. So since size is generally proportional, a tall man is just more likely to have a larger larynx.

    However, it's not uncommon for a short man to have a deep voice, or for a tenor to be tall. After all, height and laryngeal size don't have a fixed ratio.

  • An absolute classic. If this does not rivet you, you are unrivettable.

  • Grazie tanto!

    Il Signor Gobbi è nato nella città dov'è cresciutta mia mamma, Bassano del Grappa! Oggi c'è un museo dedicato al tenore.

    Mi scusi per il mio italiano! Non le scrivo bene! Scrivo più in inglese ed in francese.

    Ciao!

  • I am noticing that Gobbi's vibrato is much faster than Neri's. Could one of you opera "insiders" tell me if this a personal stylistic thing or was it due to a particular "school" that he was trained in?

  • immensi...tecnica,teatralità ...per i melomani punti di riferimento...

  • Great singing. Wonderful staging!!!

  • Great singing. Wonderfuyl staging!!!

  • @francesca7564 ... Sorpresa: il Basso è il grande Giulio Neri, basso profondo. Di Siena. Voce splendida, scura, stentorea. Pur essendo mancato molto giovane, ha un repertorio favoloso.

    Grazie Françoise, grazie Oneguin!

    Magnifico post da pieni voti!

  • Magnifique basse ... Qui est ce cher Oneguin ???

    Par ailleurs, splendide document, merci pour le post !!!

    Amitiés

    Françoise

  • And Talvela is the biggest example of that. If andre the giant sang opera his name would be Martti Talvela.
