| I agree with donaldcallen, Di Steffano had a great voice. But this ending is not the best one. |
| besides the orquestra in the second vincero down the pitch in "VIN" |
| Two things brought DiStefano's glorious instrument to an untimely demise. One, his shoddy technique which rarely addressed covering the passagio area from the middle to the upper register. In short, he sings wide on the top notes. And two, his ventures into roles like Calaf and Otello which are the domain of the heroic tenor and clearly exposed the limitations previously outlined. Pippo was first and last a lyric tenor and should have realized that. His career might have been longer. |
| It *is* flat, especially the high B at the end. I don't think this performance is particularly good. Perhaps Pavarotti persisted in saying that di Stefano was his favorite tenor because he knew the man was no match for him. For me, in addition to Pavarotti, the greatest Nessun Dorma I've heard was sung by Jussi Bjoerling. |
| BELLA VOZ |
| 经典 |
| This is not how I want to remember Di Stefano. This only hurts! |
| Di Stefano, the best VOICE! |
| ever heard.. pavarotti? |
| Sounds pretty flat... |
| nn te ne intendi !!! |
| Yeah, I know. I was agreeing with you. I have the entire discography of Caruso, Bjorling, Gigli, Schipa, and many other Golden Age Tenor. |
| There is no comparison to GIGLI or other singers mentioned such as Richard Crooks, di Lugo. The technique of the Golden Age of Singing, did not allow for bellowing, just pure brilliant vocal tone, in keeping with CHIAROSCURO, dark/light tone. Listen to JUSSI BJORLING sing NESSUN D'ORMA on You Tube. None of the tenors that followed that era could ever be compared. |
| The eminent ENRICO ROSATI taught Gigli, Melton and Lanza. Tucker and Peerce were not Rosati's students which accounts for the marked difference in delivery. Gigli was incomparable. |
| I'll assume that you are a disciple of Lamperti's school, yes? |
| You can't praise a big one without satisfying your wish of thrashing some other can you? Why should Opera attract such perverse frames of mind? |
| No where near Pavarotti or even Richard Tucker and Jussi Bjorling.....did not possess the power or range of Pavo or the others.....diction and emotion however were very good. |
| I believe this man (di Stefano) and Pavarotti had probably the most perfect diction of all tenors. |
| l'interpretazione di Giuseppe di Stefano è emozionante, forse una delle migliori tra quelle che conosco. |
| Und Pavarotti mag ich eben nicht hören. Als Typ finde ich den super, aber für meinen Geschmack ist sein Gesang ein blechern-nasales Schmettern und Jauchzen, so perfekt es auch sein mag. Und der Ausdruck... Da sieht man mal wieder, wie subjektiv eine solche Beurteilung ausfällt. Bei Pavarotti fühle ich gar nix, bei Björling möchte ich mitsingen, und bei Pippo kriege ich Gänsehaut. Aber wenn's bei Dir anders ist, gönne ich Dir Deinen Genuss natürlich uneingeschränkt! |
| Hi Blinzinger, nein, auf keinen Fall möchte ich streiten. Bezüglich der Intonation unterstelle ich Dir gerne, dass Du das besser hören kannst als ich. Ich bin halt ein Fan von Di Stefano, weil er so "un-opernhaft" singt, sehr gesanglich und nicht so pompös-instrumental... den Fachausdruck dafür kenne ich leider nicht, aber vielleicht verstehst Du, was ich meine? |
| Sorry patritsch, keinen Streit deswegen. Trotzdem meine ich, dass nicht alle Töne sauber sitzen (schief wäre übertrieben-das kann nur Potts)und Pavarotti ist einfach flüssiger. Pavarotti verint alle Vorzüge in sich. Höhe, Sauberkeit, Perfektion und einen einmaligen Ausdruck. Björling war perfekt aber es kam für mich kaum eine Seele rüber. Und dann noch eins, Björling und die meisten anderen Top-Tenöre waren mit 50 stimmlich recht fertig. Pavarotti war bis wenige Jahre vor seinem Tod noch top. |
| Pippo singt schief? Hört sich für mich irgendwie nicht so an... Aber selbst wenn, im Gegensatz zu 99 Prozent aller anderen Tenöre SINGT der wirklich, anstatt mit einer ausgefeilten Stimme eitel auf schwierigen Tönen herum zu stolzieren und alles kaputt zu brüllen. Was alle an Pavarotti finden, versteh ich überhaupt nicht. Ein sympathischer Künstler, aber doch kein Titan wie Di Stefano oder der überirdische Björling... |
| anche se oggi la moda lirica va verso altre direzioni, gli altri tenori vanno e vengono...tu sei eterno!!! |
| True, I stand corrected. Pity pippo didn't learn to sing properly with that beautiful instrument. |
| Even when he abused his voice he had a much more beautiful voice that Pav and much more musicality, as well as overwhelming heart, soul, and passion, which Pavarotti almost has none...they can say all they want, but I say Pippo was the greatest Italian lyric tenor of the last century...not just the best voice, the best all around. If he had a good technique he might have been the best tenor period. His natural voice was just that good. |
| That's just you opinion. Nothing else! |
| Pavarotti el mejor Calaf de la historia... no importa quien sea el mejor tenor, en esta aria Luciano fue el mejor... |
| People, just listen to the song and let comparisons be! |
| Da kann ich leider nicht zustimmen. Die Töne sitzen lange nicht so sauber wie bei Pavarotti oder Björling. |
| Mario del Monaco: "Di Stefano is the best voice of the 20th century". Pavarotti: "Di Stefano was the best tenore". What else? |
| If pippo hadn't abused his voice he would have had a much more beautiful voice than the Big P- along with MUCH more musicality. Pavarotti did have much better technique, though. |
| Lol. Of course HE disagrees. He was never a way vain guy, but it still is opinion and, whether or not he agrees with me, I like Pavarotti better. |
| Di Stefano simply The Best !!!!! There's no match... |
| pavarotti disagrees with you. |
| this is really great |
| Never ever would Pavarotti be as sensitive as Pippo! How, if may I ask, someone who likes Opera has never heard the greatest in the XX century? Yes, Pavarotti was great, but Pippo, from them all is my favorite. |
| Try Franco Corelli for this aria. Very exciting. |
| WOW! Never heard him before. He def rivals Pavarotti on this song. You can see DiStefano influenced him. Very, Very, Very good! |
| No, the note in the end was not false - listen to the orchestra - the recording slows down and the note comes flat |
| Funny how every tenor who performs this is "the best ever". I hate Bocelli's and Carreras' renditions of "Nessun Dorma", and I love Björlings and Mario di Monaco's, but that's just me. Doesn't mean a thing to anybody, I'm sure. I just wish people would stop saying "oh, this is the best ever, no it isn't, you're an idiot". Oh, and Pavarotti and di Stefano? Somewhere in the middle. |
| The best tenor ever! I am in love with his voice! |
| Growing in to loveing opera I must say that even thou In loved sometimes(not all)of Pavarotti's reditions of this aria or Bocelli, I trulli believe Di Stefano is the best, and to have proof in the DVD Pavarotti The Last Tenor, he got slaped by his father because he liked Di Stefanos voice better than other tenor that was Pavarottis father favorite. So even Pavarotti recognize Di Stefano as a better performer, not to mention those wonderfull recordings with the wonderfull and unique Maria Callas. |
| I think beauty of voice is an opinion. I think Pav had a better SOUNDING voice than di Stefano any day of the week. Does that make him a better tenor? No. Does that mean that I prefer di Stefano? NO (I, personally, like Pavarotti a LOT better). |
| to the poster of this clip..many thanks. |
| I don't believe that Di Stefano was the best of the mid 20th century. |
| Many golden age tenors can't be judged given that most of them sang into primitive machines that couldn't capture the beauty in their voices. |
| What about Mario Del Monaco, u2bmetub. I listened to Del Monaco's Radames and it had the power to make pyramids crumble. Del Monaco, on many counts, was far superior to nearly any other tenor except possibly for Caruso, whom we cannot judge based on his recordings (because barely anyone living ever heard him live). However, I do agree that Pavarotti was a fine tenor. |
| The pitch was false, but this is a very difficult aria to sing correctly. However, Di Stefano was a great tenor despite this. |
| Yes, I heard it too, it's false. Yes he is a fantastic singer, but the intonation of that note in the end is low. |
