Mario del Monaco - Nessun Dorma

This record is for those people, who believe, that Mario del Monaco wasn´t able to hit the B and hold it for a longer time. As you can hear, the last "vincero" in this record is perfect. Not to short and not to long. Perfectly Wonderful !

my father sung with him and he heard him singing the high c like no other!

At 10 o clock in the morning at a rehursel, he crossed the stage singing the high c. He was a great tenor!

Actually, Bjorling did turandot in 1959 at the Rome Opera House. How can anyone listen to his voice and say it was not a big voice? It's not raw like Corelli's or DelMonico's, who seem to be yelling at points, rather than singing.

As for singing the notes as written, almost noone singing Nessun Dorma does not try to hold that last "Vincero!" When asked to compare his voice with Bjorlings, Pavarotti said, "I am only human." Caruso's wife said Bjorling was the closest to her husband in talent.

@rodfromcranstonEach tenor has his limitations.There's no doubt that Bjorling singsa beautiful ND But Bjorling never sang the entire opera in the theatre.His voice was just not big enough for the very demanding verismo portions of this opera. Most of the top tenors adhere to the music and hit the same notes as Bjorling.Volpi, Fillipeschi,Corelli,Martinelli Barioni,Pavarott ietc.Most tenors including Bjorling hold the last note, but Puccini wrote the last B-natural just to be touched & not held

[rodfromcranston]

Bjorling's 1944 buries all who sang this aria. It's slower, but he hits notes throughout the song that nobody even tried. Plus his last note is one of the longest ever .

voce eccezionale ricca di armonici non perde colore in tutta lasua estesione.

@amalek80 The final vincero cut short is written that way by Puccini

@petion2010 Pavarotti sang for ears,but Del Monaco for heart, Pavarotti sang and Del Monaco lived in the music.

@vpo2g2 That might be your opinion.But you must be misinformed.His phrasing and diction were impeccable and he respected the music. He did take liberties in live performances where he was most thrilling.He also dedicated his life to the art. I think if you would have heard him live,You might have not made that statement.However you are entitled to your opinion
