Carlo Bergonzi - E lucevan le stelle (Live, 1987)

Carlo Bergonzi sings Cavaradossi's third act aria "E lucevan le stelle" from Puccini's Tosca. This was recorded for Japanese TV during Bergonzi's 1987 Tokyo recital.

The opening bars of this pivotal aria are seldom sung with their drahatic intent. Entrava.. ella fragrante might be sung as two separate ideas, and also with energy. The latter bars show the beauty of Carlo's voice. Thank you DTS. for this iconic performance.

I got the feeling there is a problem reaching the right pitch in the high notes.

The recording mechanism seem fuzzy.

Lost a bit of head voice, also piano sounds out to f key

[@Keatsy08]

why on earth should a singer once very good undertake such a task? Well after his prime, a bleak copy of himself...

Lmao there’s always an idiotic comment like this. Maybe you should learn from Italian intelligence the answer to your stupid question

Katastrophe

[@felicianoncapiscia]

I believe the recording itself is defective. Listen to the distortion in the piano.

RAFAEL ALVAREZ , das ist Blödsinn.
