  • Absolutely beautiful! This is what a tenor is supposed to sound like. I just love Gigli, and always have. Like millions of other people. Opera lost so much when screaming replaced real singing. This is perfectly loud enough to be heard everywhere in the theater. If only singers realized that.Tenors now try to sing much too loud...it just isn't necessary, except, I suppose, for huge operas with big orchestras blaring away. But there is always a price to paid in the quality of the sound.

  • Gigli indeed was the greatest, because he could do it all well, and for so long. Mezza-voce no other has matched and the anima and passion in his singing incredible. Overall the greatest!!

  • Remembering this is NOT 'falsetto'... it is true voice with magnificent support... 

  • It's absolutely beautiful! The old school of singing.

    Thank you.

  • Gigli is not singing falsetto nobody said that it`s beautifull I`ve nearly got every recording he made

  • Superb!  TY a for posting

  • @stefakamelpash

    I like Gigli as well, but it's not screaming replacing singing, Gigli is singing ALL in falsetto, he was one of the greatest at this, remember he is not using his real voice. "Screaming" is singing using vocal chores for you, I hope you learn something about singin the next time you say things you absolutely have no idea.

  • @ziapengyfence Tagliavini's voice was smaller than Gigli's but Tagiavini's voice travelled further than Gigli's in the opera house.Just as Lauri Volpi's voice vibrations possibly travelled further than any other tenors voice .Enjoy

  • This has to be some of the most musical and simply beautiful singing I have ever heard... thank you. Thanks :).

  • i have an original beniamino gigli vinyl that i got for free.

    damn.

  • :) I just started getting interested in Beniamino Gigli some time ago, and I think he's one of the finest lyrical tenors in the world. He can hit soft notes flawlessly. This was probably from an early sound film. Gigli looks pretty young.

  • Gigli was better than Pavarotti !!!
