[Nello7]

Simply put- that was the most compelling dramatic effort that I have seen possibly ever. The inflections, the voice, he was engineered for verismo singing. The remastering is beautiful- I think I spotted a nosehair.

I have never seen such a wonderful remastering of this footage. This is absolutely fantastic! You can almost smell them!!!! Mario Del Monaco is electric!!!

[arcot9]

WOW

[1993MGB]

And the Oscar goes to...

[angelamaria1944]

Meraviglioso!

[Allzumenschliches44]

The quality is outstanding! Del Monaco the best Canio!

[DonPaolissimo]

I'd be afraid to sing Nedda opposite this phenomenal man! Who today, or in the past 40 years could match this passion & intwensity? Mario was the best for this role@

I never heard Del Monaco in the theater. But I did hear Corelli. He sounded

better on stage than on recordings (as did several famous tenors). I

suspect Del Monaco did too.

Tucci only made two commercial recordings. I found some live

performances by her on a site called "The Opera Lovers".

Funny how some singers record some roles 2-3 times while some

equally fine singers hardly record at all. Tnx 4 the exciting post.

@Richiesutherland I think he repeats Nedda three times, and the cry

[BorisGodunov]

Wow. I own this performance on VHS, and I'm astonished at the quality of this remastering. It's like a brand new performance being available, and it's amazing!

Still, I was always struck by the omission of the chorus interjections at the end. Not sure why they cut those out of the performance--I think they add to the increasing tension.

@Richiesutherland Nedda, Nedda, NEEEDDDDDAAA, AHHH ahhhha AAAAAAhhhhhhhhh

[Richiesutherland]

What does he actually say after "La commedia e finita"? The last word is "Nedda", I believe, but what does he yell before that?
