AIDA act 1 scene 1

SE quel guerrier io fossil//PAOLO PECCHIOLI(The King of Egyt (SCOTT PIPER )Recorded at the THEATRO GIUSEPPE VERDI,BUSSETO jan/27/2001//Directed by FRANCO ZEFFIRELLI

[@massimilianostefanelli7681]

Dear Nathan, I conducted this production and I can say that it was the best Zeffirelli's Aida of ever! We had extraordinary moments in Busseto...it was a miracle! I am glad you like this!

[@Shahrdad]

This is not the heroic Radames of Corelli, but it's the most loving, the most intimate Celeste Aida I have heard. He really sings it as a love song, and sings it as if he were whispering it in his beloved's ear. And that final pianissimo is breathtaking.

[@corazoncubano5372]

A very soulful version.

As written in the score ("morendo" at the end of the aria).

Bravo Scott Piper! Beautiful voice and you sing in perfect Italian! Btw, you look like a famous rock singer. 👍

[@vernadakieleni]

Bravo! This is by far the best interpretation of this aria-at least comparing to the ones i have heard.So sweet,gentle,with a rare male sensitivity and beautiful control.So different to other "macho" tenors who shout and sing a romantic aria as if it was a triumphant marching song! Wonderful,generally balanced presence by this handsome tenor

[@UncleNathan]

This performance, dating from the centenary of the composer's death, is a delight....all young, fresh voices, and beautifully staged. True, Zeffirelli sometimes follows Mae West's old dictum "Too much of a good thing can be wonderful" but the production is beautiful and the singers are all superb. Scott Piper is especially fine, and it is wonderful to hear the final B-flat "morendo" as written. We don't often get the chance to see a handsome young tenor as Radamès who can both sing and act!

[@nathandavis3002]

Nice name!

[@Tenorbravo]

What a wonderful interpretation of " Se quel guerrier io fossi " Aida. Just wait in a few more years when his voice matures. He has the talent to bring alive ..Radames..Magnifique, original and unique...BRAVO..Scott Piper..In Costa Rica we all remmember you. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video click.

Bravo

[@MusicStealsMyHeart]

It's called impartial selection. Especially in an opera, it is more important the sound of a person than the looks. Thus the better singer wins... which is why in some operas you will find a black father, a white mother, an asian daughter, and a hispanic son but their voices!!

Excelente interpretacion mas quisiera saber elnombre del Tenor que interpreta esta preciosa aria.

[@fpogg]

Trovato, si chiama Scott Piper.

[@fpogg]

Non c'è scritto il nome. Davvero bravo! Ma che fine ha fatto? canta in giro, spero di sì!

[@mrJohnDesiderio]

I'm sorry. I don't like the quality both in the middle range and top.

[@Fonseca429]

Is Scott Piper a spinto?

[@chetmanley2462]

Nah. But he did cheat on his wife.

[@fernandolopezarias9700]

His voice sounds opaque, he lacks squillo, he is not the best tenor, he lacks the necessary strength to play this role, and no one has ever given the final note like the great Franco Corelli.
