Glad you liked it. You've inspired me to put more Bechi out there for people to enjoy.

Very Interesting about Corelli's comment.

Was there ever a baritone with SUCH a clear balanced sound? He reminds me very much of the great Mattia Bastistini. That beautiful beautiful bel canto technique they both possessed. Such elegant expressionist are rare truly nowadays

Anyone who thinks these voices are nasally needs to get their ears checked!

Bravo *****

Dear Reduxmisc,by all means,if possible,please post more Gino Bechi.He was such a marvellous baritone.Hugely popular in his home country but virtually forgotten here in the US.Personally,I like him as much as the great Bastianini or Leonard Warren.Grazie mille for posting this superb aria.One of Verdi's best.

His complete Chenier is unbelievable.

the only baritone compared by franco corelli with bechi is kim josephson, a student of trimble. it is the open, easy production of the tones and the clarity of the language that matter. the support method allows the throat to remain totally loose and free.

More comments please! :-))

One of the great Italian dramatic baritones. Bechi's resonance, timbral richness and resounding acuti put virtually every contemporary baritone to shame:) --

[FrancoTalozzi]

Il baritono che meglio ha saputo interpretare questa romanza.

[TommyHaegin]

I consider Bechi as overrated. His tone is too nasal and too little "bodily" for my taste. Sure, a great singer, God bless him, but there are better ones.

Bravo Reduxmisc

really thank you for your good taste and my enjoyment.

What about American "contemporary "culture""...

if one has a guitar to cover his testicles while swinging his arm and farts into a mike, he is a singinf star. The mob doesnot worth to take into an account when jidging ART.
