  • @crapfacejoe I don't how that came out, in plain english Jussi is rubbish, Gigli is king.

  • beyond belief

  • Wonderful! Magical! Another of my favourites is Jussi Bjorling "Donna non vidi mai" M. Lescaut Live 1960

    Jussi Bjorlings last concert.

  • As compared to the ludicrous contemporary operatic world today with its bellowing singers (?), sumptuous scenery, costumes, props, and questionable stage directing, GIGLI'S VOCAL SUPERIORITY required NONE of the artificiality of the aforementioned since recordings, radio, and, when made available, films," were the ONLY means of TRANSMISSION. It was "AUDIO" that made him famous to listeners who had no other means of access to opera.

  • Wow!

  • @3Sunnyboy I think electronics and advances in technologies somehow tend to artificially enhance a voice and it loses it's natural touch. So in a way this sounds more pure to me.

  • Gigli topped Caruso on this one.

  • Hard to pick a favorite for this aria. Gigli was amazing in this performance.

  • Definitely an all time best rendition of Donna non vidi mai! Hard to believe without all the electronics, the voice is so pure, precise and powerful.
