  • I just found out how to fix the pitch issues with the video, since it was a half tone sharp.
    PS: The configuration messed the speaker balance up a bit, but at least Siepi's timbre is now authentic.

    Quel primo 'Amor..' a mezza voce ! Quel canto sempre sfumato...quel colore di mille sfumature....e quel legato! Che dire...........

    I think so too. What I like about Siepi (apart from the cello-like beauty of his instrument) is that he was largely self-taught. And with his northern Italian dialect guttural "R" he is quite a bit of an outlaw in the usually quite stern school of "correct singing". (Italian nobility had that kind of "French" accent too, though.) And he opposed Mussolini and had to come to my homecountry in 1941 until the fascist aera was finally over. I'd like to know more about him.

      Good character as well, to have turned down fascism,and chosen exile.

    That's concentration! Bravo! The line never falters! Please, I'd give a cookie to know when this was filmed. The voice is clearly at its absolute peak! Many thanks.

    I heard this fantastic bass in Faust in 1968. Jon Alexander was the tenor. Anna Moffo was to sing Margarite.She cancelled. They subbed Rena Kabavianska..forgive my misspelling. She was very much a disappointment. Flat flat flat .I head Tebaldi shrieking Gioconda. There was a fantastic Trovatore . With James McCracken, Louis Quilico, Irene Dalas and the sopranos name is illuding me right now... These were the days when the Met toured ! They should consider doing it again as a way to revive Opera

    For german listeners the "R" of Siepi sounds very noble and beautiful because it's not a tounge-R but a throat-R.

    When Verdi left alone he sang this aria walking in his garden.. How great he was. Puccini and Verdi are both too legs , to arms , to parts of the brain and to vocal chords of the Opera personified!

    Ella giammai m' amò!
    No, quel cor chiuso è a me,
    amor per me non ha!
    Io la rivedo ancor
    contemplar triste in volto
    il mio crin bianco il dì
    che qui di Francia venne.
    No, amor per me non ha.
    Amor per me non ha!
    Over son?
    Quei doppier presso a finir!
    L' aurora imbianca il mio veron!
    Già spunta il dì!
    Passar veggo i miei giorni lenti!
    Il sonno, o Dio!
    sparì dai miei occhi languenti!
    Dormirò sol nel manto mio regal.
    Quando la mia giornata è giunta a sera,
    dormirò sol sotto la vôlta nera,
    dormirò sotto la vôlta nera,
    là, nell' avello dell' Escurial.
    Se il serto regal a me
    desse il poter di leggere nei cor,
    che Dio può sol,
    può sol veder!
    Ah! Se il serto regal a me
    desse il poter di leggere nei cor,
    che Dio sol può veder!
    Se dorme il prence, veglia il traditore;
    il serto perde il re, il consorte l' onore!

    "half tone sharp" is what happens when the sample rate is set to 48 kHz, not 44.1 ..
    it is really annoying

    Incredible performance of the great Siepi;
    but it's conducted much too fast!

    Sounds wonderful but not operatically sung is it?

    • @bsb3339
      @bsb3339 Před 4 lety

      What would make you think so? I would say very much so, the sound legato and full of emotion, imo it has everything the piece wants:)

    Yeah, he couldn't pronounce 'R' correctly.. but that didn't stop him to make a great career !!
