Miguel Fleta (1897(1893?)-1938)singing O te, o cara, amor talora from Bellini's Puritani recorded for Victor in 1923. I had posted his La Donna E Mobile yesterday but this is a better record. Born in Spain, his potential was not realized until he was in his
20's. He spent most of the 1920's in America at the Met and in Chicago. He developed a wobble early on which curtailed his career. Probably one of the three most important Spanish tenors of the period (others being Cortis and Lazaro - more of them to follow).

  • @merrihew do you have the complete opera on cd?

  • @merrihew It is clearly "bel canto" and also is plenty of "mannerisms". That is why I love it .

  • Si no me equivoco esto es un Re sostenido y sobre todo muy claro y sin chillarlo como muchos.

  • Madre mía!!!!...

    Cada vez que escucho esta voz me transporto al mundo de los sentimientos y la sensibilidad. Quizás otros tenores sean o hayan sido más técnicos y hayan cuidado sus voces mucho mejor, pero NADIE ha tenido y probablemente tendrá, la SENSIBILIDAD VOCAL de este GRANDE de la historia de la música.

    Merrihew, ¿a quién tengo que "matar" para conseguir ese disco??????

  • Du GRAND chant! Et dans le ton s'il vous plait! Exceptionnel!Et ce pianissimo après le ré bémol.On lui pardonne aisément son tout petit dérapage,après:Le relachement de la tension(ou de l'attention).Il place la barre si haut ! Stupéfiant pour une voix de ce calibre.Très grand bravo et grand merci.Je penses que je vais rester un peu chez toi me reposer.Et t'emprunter quelques tableaux!

  • En La cagegoria de Caruso.....Braco Miguel

  • QUÉ VOZ DIOS. ESO ERA UN TENOR.

  • I completely disagree with everything you said above.

  • AulicExclusiva-Fleta and Lazaro are both great Spanish tenors. Many consider Fleta to be the equal of Caruso. What praise have you for the awesome Cortis.

  • lochness11-Now listen to Cortis and Lazaro. While you are at it include among these Spaniards the awesome Italian Pertile. Enjoy!

    P.S.-Cortis is my favourite,and his O Lola,and werther by Massenet are both awesome!
