Del Monaco e Otello una cosa sola. Senza alcun dubbio l'unico vero grande infitito Otello era ed è solo Mario

[BeauTenor]

This point is hard to argue, since opera is so subjective. Some would argue that Domingo is a great Otello, or Giacomini. Both were exciting singers, and Domingo was far more versatile than either Del Monaco or Giacomini...it's all about personal taste. And Just because someone is Danish is really no reason to dislike them. Melchior was the finest heldentenor of his generation; that is indisputable, and anyone who knows opera well would agree. You don't have to like him.

@billyguns2 I remember reading somewhere on y.t, that Corelli was studying the role&MDM encouraging Corelli to sing it .Aside from the dramatic tenors singing the role as part of their repertory, I think it's every tenors dream to do the role& it's usually taken on later in a tenors career where the voice darkens a little. Right or wrong, I think Corelli would have done a great Otello if he attacked the role before his voice started diminishing.I agree whole heartedly with your comment ABOVE

@BeauTenor I saw Domingo live in Pagliacci, and I was surprisingly UNIMPRESSED.He was not very audible.His high notes were strangled& HE LEFT OUT the 2nd B-natural in No Pagliaccio Non Son.I also suspect that the 1st B-natural was a B-flat, transposing the aria down a half a tone,Hardly a suitable performance fora supposedlyworld class tenor.Subjectiveness is1 thing but Domingo does not seem suitable when attacking the more heroic roles.Cutting phrases short,barely touching hi-notes&transposing

in what way different please explain?

[phantom4087]

Gianni Savelli sounds thin to me.

[Danetenor]

no, and that is twisting what I said:-D

by saying high notes, I did'nt mean High C's and F's necissarily. But very basicly. What makes a tenor is in comparison to most baritones and basses, the ability to produce high notes, look into choral sheets and you will see that. off course colouring is another aspect. But for an operatic tenor high A and B's are common if not expected. and Caruso was perfictly cabable of producing high B's as I am sure you know.

[mail1280257]

Being able to sing high notes hardly "classifies a tenor". Are Pavarotti and Florez greater than Caruso because they can throw off 9 high C's? Does Matteuzzi become the greatest tenor alive by virtue of having a full voiced high F?

[Jcrewone7]

Is GIANNI SAVELLI one of the GREATEST EVER? Come listen to his opera compilation where he sings 6 aria's and leave a comment on how good you think he really is! Search Gianni Savelli

So... now I am really explaining it so that a four year old would understand it: 1.Monaco= great otello 2.Corelli= Brilliant at singing Esultate! (not just the high note but the squillo and virility of voice as well!3. Get over you obsession of Lauritz Melchior, he did great as a wagner singer wether you like him or not, and if he forgot something he probably was not the first.
