Enrico Molinari - Cortigiani vil razza - Verdi's Rigoletto

Enrico Molinari started as a bass, but later transitioned to baritone. You can hear the balanced chiaroscuro due to the balance of vocal registers in his sound. He sings dark, but also has tremendous core/squillo in the sound. Most who sing dark today do so by losing the core/squillo or by thickening the sound. His vowels are very clear and his intonation is precise. He died in 1956. Enjoy!

Un altro fior di baritono che non conoscevo affatto,probabilmente messo in secondo piano dai più celebrati dell'epoca.Un timbro bello, caldo e scuro quanto basta,un canto espressivo e rotondo,acuti squillanti e pieni,il tutto supportato da una tecnica che a quei tempi detenevati tutti o quasi.L'avranno mai sentito uno così gli adoratori di Nucci che ritengono il proprio beniamino il più grande rigoletto del secolo?????Credo proprio che no!-Grazie MrCafiero.

Great singing and technique...this singer should be required listening in every school of singing...alas...there is no interest or understanding of great singing anymore. Today it is all about looks, youth and charismo...not singing anymore

Yet another superb singer of whom, up till now, I'd never heard -- Thanks, Mr. Cafiero!
