    It's so incredible that his voice lost neither luster nor power over the span of 22 years. Todays voices are lucky to last 10 years. I would have loved to have heard him live. Alas I was born way too late.

    I just decided what I wish I’d do first if somebody invented a time machine: I would go back to the 60s and 70s in an actual opera theatre and listen to all these “Esultate” with my own ears. To fully appreciate all the harmonics of this indescribable voice. A sword. A sharp piece of metal. Vibrant. Violent!
    In the last two, he sings from “dopo l’armi” till the end in just 1 breath. At that volume of voice. Unbelievable...

I'm convinced that Mario would have been Mario no matter who he studied with.

      @@moorfan1 Corelli here on You Tube states that Del Monaco had a small voice prior to going to Melocchi. But emerged out of the Melocchi School with a very large voice. Volpi writes, that Del Monaco had a terrible experience in La Gioconda in Spain, and upon arriving to the Melocchi School he had to make a decision to either retire from the stage or create a voice to sing Otello. Page 147-148 of ''Voci Parallele'' Volpi also states that when the day comes that Otello has exhausted Del Monaco, he could always sing as a soprano with a different timber and an extension up to E-Flat. Corelli also states that the lower larynx technique has been around for many years and did not originate with Melocchi. There are many interesting interviews with Corelli- Zucker here on YT discussing MDM, many other singers, voice technique etc.

    The greatest dramatic tenor of all time along with Caruso

    • @sugarbist
      @sugarbist Před rokem +1

      Categorizing tenors gets a little tricky. I believe that Caruso was a spinto tenor with dramatic impact when needed. As was Richard Tucker, Martinelli, Bernardo De Muro, Corelli, with large voices as well, and perhaps Domingo, Labo and Bergonzi being medium size spintos. Making it more complicated, the dramatic tenor always has Otello in their repertoire, but the spinto tenor may also have the ability to sing the opera. Corelli referred to himself as a lyric spinto and Bjorling claimed he was a spinto tenor. Others on You Tube refer to MDM as a '' Lyrico Pieno'' what ever that means. My guess is voice suitability and performance for a specific role may be better to evaluate a tenor. Enjoy

    I feel like I’m one of only few left today that appreciates the true school of bel canto….and while I’m not a singer myself (only a classical pianist) I have been told by a couple of great artists that I can hear as if I was a singer. The people whole told me this…I feel so very lucky to have had them as dear friends…Licia Albanese and Lucine Amara. In the male voice, I am a great admirer and critic of the voices of Gigli, Caruso, and Ruffo and in no specific order, although for my ear, I hear an absolute perfect instrument in the voice the voice of Gigli. All that said, I must tell you I’m such a fan of Mario in this role, as evident in his recordings!!!! On certain vowels in this Esultate, I hear a quality that I liken to Gigli…..only if Gigli was a dramatic tenor (tenore di forza). I appreciate how you have given us 13 LIVE examples of this to demonstrate that his instrument was virtually unchanged over the years. For my money, I will take 1954…..his attack on the big notes is true Bel Canto…..he starts them all on a PPP and spins them out immediately to FFF. This creates a fluid attack on the vowel, rather than just crash into it. His baritonal quality coupled with the mostly “open” vowels that he chooses make this a great recording. It’s these open tones that create the squillo that are required for the role. He really does do a wonderful job….I can not say this about some of his contemporaries, then or since. I only wish he would take a more open vowel on second to last, but then again there are great risks in doing so.

      You clearly don't listen to the good tenors, and therefore, only compare Del Monaco to worse ones.
      Take even Gigli, or Paoli for the best example on how to sing the "l'uragano" note.
      Del Monaco very rarely reached the higher note of that word, and even when he did, it wasn't as coordinated as Gigli and much less Paoli.

    LOVE FOR MUSIC OR LOVE FOR THE CLOWN
    There is a difference between loving squeaks or loving music. He who loves music hears Otello, not 13 chirps in a row. Because loose treble without context, no matter how good treble, it is not music: it is something like the American ranking of trucks with the largest wheels, but they are not trucks. You must have a love for Verdi's music, not for male sexual arousal that operamaniacs have. Mario del Monaco loved music, he loved opera, not "only treble". What is this nonsense?

    I agree he had an astonishing voice but the liberty he takes holding the notes is embarrassing and old Verdi would turn in his grave. (Aveva una voce stupenda PERO prendeva troppo liberta con i accuti. Verdi, di sicuro, non avra dato permesso.)

    • @sugarbist
      @sugarbist Před 2 lety +2

      Interesting. But many great and good tenors took liberties with the music and holding high notes in live performances. Corelli, Lauri Volpi, Gigli, Tucker, Filippeschi, Martinelli, Zenatello, Barioni, Pavarotti, Bonisolli, and even an impeccable singer like Bjorling did. Verdi may not have approved, but the public loves it.

      @@sugarbist This is true but what it does is hold up the opera - all about the singing not the opera. It's a shame because on his studio recordings he sticks to what's written and all the wonder and power of his voice is there, undiminished, without the need to "show off".

    • @sugarbist
      @sugarbist Před 2 lety +2

      @@dannycore4550 I have to disagree a little. Every tenor is more discipline in the environment of a studio atmosphere. Sure we can hear the wonder and the power on his studio recordings, but in my opinion, he often sounded throttled in his London recordings, as if he were singing inside an empty can of soda. MDM's voice was more impressive live, where you could hear the more clear masculine sound of his voice, as I heard him in a Carnegie Hall recital circa 1962. I saw Corelli in Trovatore about a year earlier, but just after my father purchased his first LP. Corelli's voice was also very impressive in the house, but a little more lyric than on his LP. Corelli recorded on the Angel record label which did do his voice justice and where he used less mannerisms than his live performances. I unfortunately did not see Tucker live, but was told by an associate of mine that Tucker like MDM was better in the house than on records. Di Stefano sounded very close live than he did on records except for the beautiful overtones in the theater. I prefer the pulsation of live performances where more emotion is conveyed by the singer than in a studio atmosphere. Even Bjorling with his impeccable singing was more emotional live than in the studio. Jerome Hines mentions that Bjorling sounded like 3 Caruso's on records, but the voice by comparison was small in the house. Not many people care about holding up the opera by a few seconds here and there and actually wait for thrilling high notes to be held longer than expected. Del Monaco ironically stated in an interview, that opera is NOT all about high notes. In other posts MDM and others are criticized for singing '' Nessun Dorma" as written with the 1/4 high B-Natural at the end of the aria as appose to holding the note as long as the tenor can, alla Corelli.

      @@dannycore4550 Yes, I think so. Filippeschi never sang in the U.S. and there's not much written about him. I feel he was a tenor in the tradition stylistically of Lauri Volpi, in the way that he could and did sing across a variety of roles with success. Like Volpi, MF did have excellent facility in his upper ringing high notes. There use to be a Tosca with Callas here on YT which may no longer be available. Enjoy
