Caruso, Gigli, Corelli, Wunderlich in that order.

Magnificent!! What a VOICE 👍👏👏👏🐐..

Danta

Não a necessidade de artifícios de áudio para perceber a grandiosidade , magnífico caruso !!!!

Vaya final de Caruso, sublime, inigualable.

Lo de Caruso no se puede explicar con palabras, es una cosa que nunca se volverá a oir.

4:07- 4:12, la diferencia entre Caruso y los demás.

Best version of rare auld times there is in my opinion!!!❤❤❤

오 호 이런 호사를 ......... 감사 합니다!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Ombra Mai fu Di vegetabile Cara ed amabile Soave piu. Frondi tenere e bell Del mio Platano amato, Per voi risplenda il Fato Tuoni, Lampi, e Procelle Non vi oltraggino mai la cara pace, Ne giunga a profanarvi Austro rapace

It still is beautiful

Love em all, but for me it's BJORLING

Being Irish andbrought up on McCormack my rankings ari 1 Caruso 2 Bjorling 3 the rest❤ 21:40 😊😊

En mi opinión, nadie como Tito Schipa.

Am i the only one to think that this is the greatest aria in opera. Also tbat Andreas Scholl does the best interpretation on record.

1:48 5:53 10:12 14:12

Tremendas interpretaciones, pero es que Caruso..., ni en mil años hay alguien igual

What a splendid picture of Caruso at 15.40. I have never seen it before.

Although my father died many years ago. This was his favourite also. It have become special, and a memory of him...he lives forever through this piece.

all of them are brilliant

wasnt i lucky, my father could sing equally as good as any of these tenors , he sang all over the world , 👍

For me here the standouts are Caruso, Lanza and Pavarotti. The version of Lanza's that is used here is not the best version of this recording. Lanza was only 4 month from death at the time this recording was made, and had recently been recovering from pneumonia, however I think also that RCA deliberately 'fuzzed' these recordings to make them sound more like they were from Caruso's era than 1959, there are recordings from this album in Digitally Extracted Stereo of other songs from the same recording sessions of what I presume were the original acetate recordings and they sound nothing like the recording used here. Like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXqso6l5lLqaZ5Y Bjorling's Italian is quite something and to my ear he sounds a little flat in places. Schipa has beautiful phrasing but his voice is very small. I do not think this was Kraus's finest either. Caruso had the privilege of knowing Tosti personally so probably had an advantage in being able to ascertain exactly what he wanted the song to sound like. Pavarotti's recording, like Bjorling's, is live, however Pavarotti stays 100% on pitch, which Bjorling fails to do to my ear certainly. One of Pavarotti's traits was his ability to sound 'live' as close to a studio recording as possible, he does not do that in any of his live recordings of 'Torna a Surriento' as he gets the words wrong on every live recording he made of it, but here he stays remarkably true to what is written.

Have been a devotee of Bjoerlings art since high school in the early 1960's. A music teacher introduced us to his classic album of "La Boheme" which I would subsequently purchase and listened to frequently over the years with Victoria de Los Angeles, Robert Merrill, Lucine Amara, Georgio Tozzi and Beecham conducting. A classic album. Luciano Pavarotti was being interviewed some time ago. The interviewer offered names of previous tenors and asked Pavarotti what his judgment was of these tenors, When it came to Bjoerling he merely stated , "i'm only human." what a tribute from one who was great in his own way.

I love the voice!

Bjorling, la voz de tenir mas bella que existió. Unico e inigualable.

Bjorling with out question nr 1

Greatest tenor ever ,so sad he died young

Voice of an angel truly

Listen also to Tauber and Wunderlich !!!🤔🤗😇

Splendide ❤

Beautiful ❤❤❤❤

Caruso è una cosa meravigliosa, Gigli è una carezza nell'anima

Kathleen Ferrier

This is one of my all-time favourite Neapolitan songs, incredibly sad and therefore deeply touching… ❤️ The lyrics are heart-wrenching, and the music picks up the desperate atmosphere perfectly… ✨✨✨ Thank you for choosing this song to craft this stunning video, Michael! 🙏🍀 I like or even love most of the renditions (one I think is okay) and even have a secret favourite whose rendition almost tears my heart apart…

Сколько красоты в 22 минутах❤❤❤

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Ferrier e fuori gara, perché canta con il registro di contralto e lo sile più adatti, anche se sembra impacciata nella pronuncia e fredda. Dei tenori, Caruso, Schipa e Gigli sono pesci fuor d'acqua, dotati di belle voci ma 26:06 estranei anche vocalmente a Haendel, un po' meglio Corelli, Tauber e soprattutto Bjorling, ma il più appropriato stilisticamente è Wunderlich, accettabile anche per la pronuncia

Thanks for sharing this wonderful video!

I have never heard Bjoerling singing the aria “Forze la Soglia Atinza” from un Ballo in Maschera, not even in a full length recording of Ballo of a live presentation at the Met. Why, do you know? I would love to hear the aria complete since all I have is the”Amelia, ah dessa encore and the “Si rivederci Amelia” Do you know of some reason why Bjoerling would not sing that aria?

Exquisite tenor voice,brilliant clear diction,and for a man of small stature he could propel that voice to soaring heights,his version of non piangere liu from turandot is exemplary,and, one of the best ever recorded.

Once again, many thanks for this exceptional Jussi contribution, Michael. The material is so welcome, and your restorations and presentation, as we've come to expect, are exemplary and so gratifying for those many of us who look to this incomparable singer for guidance and inspiration.

Marvelous, I listened to great Jussi's voice many times he's exeptional and stays one of the greatest voices ever. Thank you for sharing your accomplished working.

This is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing these gems.

Franco Corelli 🏆 😊 Beniamino Gigli 🎶 Josef Locke 👀 wow

SPLENDID. Many thanks- I have been studying MUSIC all my life , Jussi confess, and he is , by all means, critical of contemporary song training...

The most fabulous voice I have heard in person. In 1958 I chased him for an autograph in Cleveland. He walked me back to the vestibule and he gave me not one but two autographs. For me, it was an incandescent moment. Thank you, dear immortal Jussi.

The overtone singing is annoying to some that enjoy just hearing the pure notes.

I believe this was the broadcast recorded in London 2 months prior on 15 July 1976, which is the first half of the Bothy Band Live at the BBC album. Notable that Peter Browne is standing in for Paddy Keenan on the pipes for this concert, as I believe Paddy had broken his hand

My favorite tenor ever since I found a compilation album while in college as a vocal major in 1978. Everything is in the same place with him. A technique with such vocal freedom, energy, made it fun to empathize with and try to put the voice in the same place.

What treasured recordings!!! Thank you so much for sharing, Jussi a voice in a million, his beautiful golden voice will live on forever 💜
