  • History said: no dislike.

    I agree.

    PERTILE SUBLIME.

  • what a cast.ty.is this a complete opera or is this it?

  • @billyguns2 Hey, maybe it ain't the PERFECT Aida, but I wish I had heard singers anywhere close to this when I nearly barfed on myself at the MET a month ago. This is still one hell of a fine performance!

  • Superb!

  • I believe it is Grace Anthony. She often sang small parts in Victor early electrics.

    I am delighted you enjoyed the Ponselle/Martinelli. They take a slower tempo (on 4 10-inch sides) which gives them more time to prepare some effects. I particularly like their ecstatic intoning of the long, mounting O Terra addio section.

  • I just listened to the Ponselle/Martinelli, and you are 100% correct about that one; Ponselle is miraculous, and Martinelli ardent and incredibly nuanced ( just listen to his amazing final Bb! ) in their passionate and totally believable performance; do you happen to know the identity of the Amneris in their recording?

  • Those you mention are excellent performances, and it is true that, in these old recordings, singers were not encouraged to sing softly, or to indulge in too many nuances that were only partially captured by the technology.

    Still, I feel there is a forward-moving intensity, almost a rapture in the later stages of O terra addio that this performance captures so well (and the Ponselle/Martinelli version captures too) that is missing from those blander later versions.

  • Il Maestro spirituale per tutti i giovani tenori che si avvicinano allo studio del canto lirico.

    Studiate da Pertile!!! Meraviglioso esempio.

  • Que bueno !!!

  • This is a very neat presentation and great pictorial video opcel1. Aureliano Pertile and Dusolina Giannini are superb.
