Would someone tell me when this is recorded?

[PGijsbertsen]

September '96, a couple of days before his 56th birthday.

Bravo Giacomini ,immenso !!!! l'ultimo vero tenore drammatico,dopo Giacomini  e finita !

[operacrasher]

Fantastic!! There is definitely "nobody today" (in the 21st century),who sounds like this,in this role.

[thegnomeidentity]

giacomini really is unique in many ways; the voice itself is a veritalble force of nature, matched by deep sensitivity, rare intelligence and natural musicality. i cant say why he never "made it" like the big 3 (if that was ever his goal). i can only look on at a present generation which thinks that paul potts and andrea bocelli are "opera" and wonder. you would be surprised at how many comments ive seen (not here, thankfully) with words like artificialy darkened,ugly,ingolata.bariton­e,etc???

[DivoBelCanto]

Caro Giuseppe, wherever you are - thank you for giving your voice to us to hear - for all you tenors out there - study this recording and listen to his expression and from where he takes [borrows] the sound from his immense foundation of tone to fill the 'maschera' with bouyant sound as it traverses space in an unending arch of emotion. Bravo, braivissimo, bravo - you have made my evening!

[DonnaSilvia]

Austero, elegante, possente e stremamente commovente. Una linea di canto, una musicalità ed una dizione straordinarie. L'ultimo grande tenore eroico italiano? Temo proprio di si, purtroppo.

[dungeounmaster]

W O W... que voz!!!! impresionante

[deutschefach]

True dramatic voices like his are a challenge to everyone. With Pavarotti, Domingo and Carreras in tight with the recording companies they had his repertoire covered with singers they did not need to promote. On stage, his short nearsightedness made him seem stiff. So a bit of his animal magnetism was squandered. He was the greatest Tenor di Forza of his moment. Directors did not like the stiffness and conductors did not want to just accompany and without them, a career is hard to sustain.

[nbatterby]

Absolutely. I heard him in the Verdi Requiem in Malta about ten years ago and was blown over. In this aria I would certainly rate him as the best ever. So why did he not enjoy the mass appeal/success, of Pavarotti or Domingo, whom he more than matches? And so few recordings!!

[1947Rollo]

Ottimo Giacomini,concordo con chi ha detto che è l'ultimo vero tenore drammatico e secondo me l'ultimo(allo stato) Chenier credibile, dopo Mario Del Monaco (prima maniera) e Franco Corelli.E' anche vero che non è stato apprezzato nella maniera giusta,ma si sa lui era anti-divo per eccellenza(non aveva affatto la " testa da tenore ") e poi non era supportato dallo star system

[opera1232010]

Il est simplement un maître en chant pour moi...

Pierre Canadian tenor

[abracadabranque]

Beaucoup de très bonnes choses,à commencer par ce timbre d'une rare épaisseur,mais aussi une assez belle sensibilité,un peu tonitruante,mais riche et expressive.Le dernier des dinosaures!!(Je parle bien sûr de sa masse vocale...)

@scriabin50 ma io adoro Giacomini.Dal vivo Giuseppe Giacomini aveva una voce splendida!

Si,giusto hai ragione,ma una voce cosi non si puo dimenticare.L'ultimo spettacolo che ho visto con Giacomini era una Tirandot con la Dimitrova.Questa sera Giacomini era magico,sublime, Artista, voce,emozione, era semplicemente SUBLIME!

Grazie á te,con amicizia.
