Incomparable! TY for sharing.

@operafan85 Actualy, he was the idol of a generation.

Quite possibly the young Di Stefano was the most beautiful tenor voice ever and no-one comes close. Just a shame that it ended sooner than it could have done and he became a capsule in time during his own career - although here I am referring to the sheer beauty, as his singing continued to be awesome for a long time.

The most beautiful tenor voice i've ever heard :) it just flows so naturally .. there's none of that "pushed" or "strained" sound that many tenors have as a result of pushing the chest up. And PERFECT diction and interpretation - first time i've ever actually understood a word of this song. (everyone has their favourite tenor .. i think Di Stefano is rapidly becoming mine)
-
no one was greater than this... only the Battistini on youtube compares... only Villazon has the profoundly and stunningly sexual quality of di Stefano's voice, a sublimated libido ... something which, in a Florez, is destroyed by excessive technical control etc etc
-
@operafan85 And our idol as well!

FabDN41 I agree with you and of course Caruso was more a Spinto in his prime then Di Stefano who seemed more lyric then EC. I don't dare say anything about JB because his fanatic fans will flame your personality as well as your comment so I let it go but here Di Stefano takes the best one home! He clearly was the king of Italian songs in his prime.

Prima cantavano così... prima si cantava così.. oggi non si canta, si urla piuttosto .

This, I feel, is even better than the other, later recording.
