Giuseppe Fortunino Francesco Verdi (La Roncole, Italy, October 9 or 10, 181… Read Full Bio ↴Giuseppe Fortunino Francesco Verdi (La Roncole, Italy, October 9 or 10, 1813 – January 27, 1901) was an Italian Romantic composer, mainly of opera. He was one of the most influential composers in the 19th century. His works are frequently performed in opera houses throughout the world and, transcending the boundaries of the genre, some of his themes have long since taken root in popular culture - such as "La donna è mobile" from Rigoletto, "Va, pensiero" (The Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves) from Nabucco, and "Libiamo ne' lieti calici" (The Drinking Song) from La traviata. Although his work was sometimes criticized for using a generally diatonic rather than a chromatic musical idiom and having a tendency toward melodrama, Verdi’s masterworks dominate the standard repertoire a century and a half after their composition.

Carissimo , non avevo dimenticato Lauri Volpi 1 mese fa avevo scritto alla fine dei nomi da me citati etc.etc.etc... più di 100 Tenori tutti con voci meravigliose liriche vere.
Lauri Volpi è una icona,era il nostro idolo negli anni 60,la sua vocalità era il nostro ideale.
Lauri Volpi era un fenomeno.
ps.
alla fine dei conti adesso vedo che avevo dimenticato fra i primi 10 nomi dei tenori il nome del Grande Lauri Volpi !

Mitico Luciano!

Aida fu la "Prima" del 7 dicembre 1985, la mia seconda "Prima" alla Scala.

Direttore il grande maestro Maazel.

L'opera fu poi registrata con lo stesso cast (alla sala prove Albanella a Milano) ed edita su CD.

Fantastici ricordi di Musica e Persone, vissuti dall'interno del più grande Teatro del mondo, ormai una vita fa...

Grazie a tutti.

The song is about an Egyptian warrior wanting to win the heart of an Ethiopian girl called Aida.
Here is some lyrics -
If only I were that warrior!
If only my dream might come true!
An army of brave men with me as their leader
And victory and the applause of all Memphis!
And to you, my sweet Aida,
To return crowned with laurels,
To tell you: for you I have fought,
For you I have won!

Heavenly Aida, divine form,
Mystical garland of light and flowers,
You are queen of my thoughts,
You are the splendour of my life.
I want to give you back your beautiful sky,
The sweet breezes of your native land,
To place a royal garland on your hair,
To raise you a throne next to the sun.

Best Celeste Aida what I've ever heard. Exact and intelligent phrasing, bright tone and effortless singing. I think Pavarotti was rather than an extraordinary musician than an opera actor.

@davidwhyberd7612

This was unmistakably Bel Canto singing. The resonance and the blade in the voice was why it could carry to the back of any opera house, despite him not having a powerful voice. The open throat; the focus in the voice; no tension whatsoever in the neck muscles; no dropped larynx; no forcing the sound; superb breath control and correct abdominal support. This is the correct way to sing. Also, there was never any scooping up to the high notes. He heard Gigli and recalled him singing about a dozen arias after a full operatic performance, just for his public. He also was a Bel Canto singer. Any tension in the neck and the voice would tire easily. You would certainly not get through a performance if that happened. Singers, these days, have rather throaty voices and some of them have a wide vibrato at the top which will develop into a wobble. I studied the Bel Canto technique.

@davidwhyberd7612

4y↑3

Furthermore, present day tenors do not posses the technique of the great singers of the past. Their voices sound forced and will not have the same longevity. Someone said thst Gigli's speaking voice was that of an old man, but his singing voice was that of a young man. Although a lyric tenor regarded as the most beautiful of all, he had power when needed and sounded magnificent. There is superb film of him singing in part of " Cavalleriia Rusticano". He was 38 and in his vocal prime. The sound quality for 1928 is superb.

@David Whyberd Pavarotti: That beautiful, clear, rounded, gorgeous, golden, ringing, Italian Bel Canto voice! So full of emotion, so deep, so loving. Engaging the soul! Oh, how I wish I could have heard him sing this aria in the opera house. I know I would have been overwhelmed! Though a lay person with some music background, I am very interested in opera and in Bel Canto singing. I believe you are a performer. Forgive my ignorance, but is Bel Canto actually taught to performers anywhere today, or when you say you studied Bel Canto, do you mean you have done so on your own? A very nice gentleman I met on one of these videos has been gracious enough to explain some basics of operatic singing to me. I also try to do some reading, but the workings of the vocal apparatus are not easy to understand, especially if you are not studying voice. I do have a question, if I might ask. You mentioned "no dropped larynx." That, I believe, is the technique advocated by Melocchi, is it not? MDM and Corelli (to a lesser extent, I think) adopted this technique. I find it interesting that both saw what seems to have been an early decline in their voices. Do you think the "lowered larynx" technique might have been a factor? Since Pavarotti did not use this method, would it have been the "open throat" that accounted for the production of his incredibly beautiful voice? That, and the other things you mention? Not meaning to discount, by any means, the years and years of hard work he devoted to developing that voice, and then practicing every day. Just trying to understand what probably can't be put into words at all. . . . If you have a little time, I would be glad to hear back from you. As for today's singers? Oh, please, don't get me started on those paper thin, weak-voiced, body-mic ghosts we see on stage. See them we do. They look good. That's it!

That is the passagio, when you place the voice in readiness for a high note. If you do not do that, the sound will be forced and strained.

@David Whyberd that last note is far beyond the passaggio, though, which in tenors is generally considered F, F#, and G, correct?

@Giovanni Fassari ogni tenore ovviamente ha il suo repertorio, pavarotti resta probabilmente quello con la voce più "bella". Certo, come tutti gli altri grandi, si muoveva tra tante arie, dove in alcune eccelleva e in altre faceva il compito. Che abbia riportato la lirica al grande pubblico e perciò sia percepito come il più grande è normale.

Pavarotti quiso hacer de todo. Nadie niega su excelente técnica y su buena voz, pero no se puede abarcar todo el universo en un mano. Cada quien en su lugar. Él era ideal para roles como Rodolfo, Nemorino, Alfredo o Tonio, pero no para repertorio más pesado como Manrico en el Trovador, Turiddu, Calaf o Canio de Pagliacci. En mi opinión fue muy osado y no es de mi gusto. Hay que respetar el carácter de cada rol, por algo los compositores escriben para voces específicas.

Pavarotti wanted to do everything. No one denies his excellent technique and good voice, but can not cover the entire universe in a hand. Everyone in place. He was ideal for roles as Rodolfo, Nemorino, Alfredo and Tonio, but not to heavier repertoire as Manrico in Trovatore, Turiddu, Canio in Pagliacci or Calaf. In my opinion it was very daring and is not to my taste. The character of each role, must be respected.

@abcd efgh Pavarotti is very powetful, balanced and perfect , just listen the phrase "Celeste Aida". Corelli sing it like upstart "Celeste aiDDAAA". It sounds very vulgarly. Oh man you are not a musician, just shut up, you know nothing about that.

@abcdefgh-db1to

@Jack Sparrow this "vulgar way of singing" is called open chest, whereas Pavarotti sings it in covered chest, it's two different way of singing the phrase, conveying different emotions, both being equally difficult to master, and both singers having mastered both.
I'm not saying Pavarotti is a bad singer, not at all, I'm saying he is not suited for the role, which is a spinto role, just like Corelli, whereas Pavarotti is a leggero tenor.

And no, Pavarotti isn't very powerful, listen to live performances where the mic is far away in the audience, then you will see the difference in power between Pavarotti and Corelli

Crossing the passagio and placing the voice in readiness for a high note is essential to make it sound focused and brilliant. His Bel Canto technique was so perfect that he could sing a high C and D flat with equal security. With correct abdominal support and superb breath control, he could hold onto that note for as long as his breath lasts.

@valasina2015

@David Whyberd Wish someone would tell me why there are people who do not like his voice. The beautiful, incredibly exquisite voice of Luciano Pavoratti will endure through the ages!

@valasina2015

@David Whyberd Wish you could find a few minutes to answer a previous question or two. You know so much about the operatic voice. Would greatly appreciate.

Ho ascoltato Alagna alla Scala nel 2006 e non c'é paragone con Pavarotti, proprio nemmeno lontanamente. Non solo la potenza della voce ma la tonalità, le sfumature, la melodia: grande Pavarotti!

Per me pari sono, sono due tenori di seconda schiera rispetto a Corelli Del Monaco Gigli Bjorling Pertile Rosvaenge Di Stefano Merli Vinay ecc..

This is so much missed, we do not have this grand singing on the stage, though this is not the best year of Pavarotti, it still tells why he is so much loved across the globe! Bravo!!!

@nickcowie

but what IS the best year?!

Not only passed prime, but also not his preferred repretoire at all. But still glorious better than 3 tenors era. His voice is a stretch for the whole thing, especially later act.
His favorite role is L'elisir d'amore according to himself. Yet the world wanted him to be heavy hero of Verdi's.

@nickcowie

@xu wang Love both of these! Never the biggest fan of Pav and French but that recording is stellar. I do love 86 Pav though, Munich 86 has some gems.

@user-py1jg6bb2r

@Nick Cowie I do not know Munich 86???
Pavarotti aged fast, looking back, opera fans were so disappointed and worried of the downward trend after the 50's flooding of artists, especially tenors, giant ones every streets of italy!!! P's appearing is a medicine of calming, and Sutherland used him, the tallest and most handsome figure to match, toured all over the world, elevated him greatly. It is not surprising for those real voice lovers not appealing to P's voice, cause most recordings were done after his prime. Only when digging deep into his early stuff, one can see the real of him.
And he helped Carreras to do the 3 tenors, turned into flooding popular, but true opera lovers hated that to death, laughing stock always. His worst voice period, but not Pavarotti's fault. And Domingo free riding the benefit wildly even today.

@user-py1jg6bb2r

@Nick Cowie One of my favorite tenors, to sing this and Nessun Dorma, true dramatic, extremely under appreciated.

Exclusively smooth, shine, and legato singing as if he didn't need to take breath to sing. Although Pavarotti was known as the king of the high C, in my opinion he was the king of smooth legato singing voice like an organ or wind instrument.
