Bel Canto baritone just doesn't get any better than that. Never has done, not even De Luca, and I don't expect it never will, cetainly during my lifetime. Not sure its even possible. This may be perfection.

si en el verismo es el rey,en el bel canto es el emperador.

Bravo Piero

simply great! what a desperate aria...

[OperaMystery80]

Cappuccilli was a magnificent operatic specimen of a baritone. I think with an aria as beautiful as this one though it's better suited to the passion of a tenor's voice. Baritones, even if singing beautifully about love, have a distinctly more fatherly or grandfatherly quality to the voice, a maturity and or, in some cases, cunning and knowledge or slyness. The soprano doesn't fall the the baritone! The baritone is also normally the hate-their-guts villain!

[Vladimirbukolic]

He 's a king but this registration is not his best. The intonation is often to low and he 's not together with the orchester.

@MrPanzer44

And you're such a fan of Panerai that you don't even know how to spell his name correctly.

Right.

Clueless.

Vorrei sapere chi sono i due imbecilli che hanno votato contro. Come tutte le interpretazioni di Cappuccilli anche questa e' meravigliosa.

@MrPanzer44 Either you hear it or you don't. Impossible to explain. There are bound to be varying subjective responses, but your use of the word 'horrible' suggest to me that you need a new set of ears altogether.

Ah, per sempre io te perdei, fior d'amore, o mia speranza; Ah! La vita che m'avanza sarà piena di dolor! Quando errai per anni ed anni in poter della ventura, io sfidai sciagura e affanni nella speme del tuo amor. Bel sogno beato, di pace e contento, o cangia il mio fato, o cangia il mio cor. Oh! Come è tormento nel dì del dolore, la dolce memoria d'un tenero amor.

[Vanchy58]

Sublime canto del maestro Cappuccilli. Sin duda uno de los grandes interpretes de baritono de I Puritani de Bellini de todos los tiempos! Bravo !!
