AIDA...sacerdote, io resto a te

[@chickenschnitzel]

The Mario del Monaco clip is from Mexico City, the night Callas interpolated a High E-flat at the end of the Triumphal Scene which is famous to this day. MDM spent the rest of the evening singing as high and loud and long as he could to try to steal the show back again. Yes, the Corelli clip is pitched too high. Missing from this collection is Mario Filippeschi, Naples 1956, which is available elsewhere on KZbin. Search for it. Utterly amazing. Singing in Italy, this man could stop traffic in Cambodia.

[@sugarbist]

IMO, The 1951 Mexico City Aida is the best I ever heard. Perhaps the combination of high altitude and high ego between MDM and CALLAS

[@absdyna]

dickrodstein Filippeschi knocks this phrase out of the park!!

[@magisterzatta856]

Wasn’t the “Callas night” in Mexico with Kurt Baum?

[@sugarbist]

What a great DRAMATIC line.I enjoyed every tenor.

[@evgeny9965]

This was awesome!!!!!!

[@absdyna]

The Corelli clip is sharp by a whole tone

[@sparafucile2]

Mario del Monaco impresionante !!!!!!

[@lieliannenasgy2649]

The great maestro Franco Corelli, one and only

[@ER1CwC]

Gigli is not robust enough for my taste, but De Sabata's conducting is tremendously exciting without being rushed.

[@stuartliff]

Most missed is Lauri-Volpi. Fascinating collection nevertheless. Martinelli unexpectedly impressive. .

[@photo161]

I so agree re Martinelli. His fiercely heroic high A's are simply spectacular as befits so great a warrior as is Rhadames...

[@Nangis123]

Kinda pointless like so many other compilations of this type . Taking effects out of context and compiling them seems to be all the rage now , with people bitching about the effect , applying ,quite predictable , sports aesthetics - who holds on longer , louder , higher ,etc . This isn't opera , folks . Opera is arts and in order to appreciate arts you have to listen to the complete opera or at least the complete scene , then you'll know whether the effect is appropriate in the context . And it's Radames , not Rhadames , and the fact he is a warrior is actually of little importance to the plot and of no importance at all for the drama .

[@sugarbist]

Dear Vivian, Martinelli sang a remarkable 123 Radames's at the Met with Caruso in 2nd place with 91 performances. No other tenor comes close. Martinelli received many fine critical reviews in over the 900 total operas he had performed at the Met alone.

[@gabrielbelimo9762]

Mario Del Monaco est Fraco Corelli sont les meilleurs 🥰👍👍

[@ramonchavez8063]

EL Mónaco siempre será el mas grande Radames!!!!!!(voz de tenor dramático es lo que demanda esta aria)

[@sugarbist]

Martinelli is 58 here. He sang a remarkable 123 Aida's at the Met, Caruso 91 and Baum 68.

[@sugarbist]

The Corelli recording is running very fast

[@cabaletta64]

si, vero, la rifarò!

[@TheKickingDonkey]

14:41 The conductor needed a toilet break badly.

[@cabaletta64]

If it's a joke, I did not

[@TheKickingDonkey]

It was. It's just that in the Pavarotti recording the orchestra is extremely fast in comparison to all the others

[@oliverdelica2289]

Haha relatable 🤣

[@feeltheforce7922]

😂

[@matveykurland7012]

Pertile was great here too

[@tropicanzio]

Del Monaco sopra tutti, come sempre.

[@liricamente7549]

In queste registrazioni: 1) Del Monaco 2) Corelli 3) Bergonzi 4) Martinelli 5) Ferraro 6) Gigli Gli altri secondo me seguono a distanza, in ordine sparso

[@muchogusto491]

FILIPPESCHI! FILIPPESCHI! FILIPESCHI !!!!!!

[@radames5855]

Ma se non c'è

[@marokt]

MDM is unbeatable in this recording!

[@evgeny9965]

Hate to put it this way but contemporary tenors just can’t get it up.

[@songohan3931]

Hehe

[@mannail888]

Corelli's patented high notes always drive the New Yorkers into pandemonium.

[@giampierone010]

è mandata troppo forte sembra una nota più alta

[@cabaletta64]

@@giampierone010 si, vero, la devo rifare!

[@MDM679]

MDM the best, but where is Bjorling

Creo que mi favorito es el de Jon Vickers ... 🧐

No conocía a Jon Vickers... Me gustó su parte Y tampoco a Pedro Lavirgen... Pero siento que está un poco a destiempo

[@Felix73able]

MDM and Corelli by miles the best

[@afrofinka]

1:58 Amneris almost lost her text (somebody whispered "traditor" a second before) 11:46 Tuba fail 😂😂😂

[@raffaelepianese9328]

She didn't lose her text, in live performances there was often a prompter. You can hear the prompter also in few Corelli recordings and not only.

[@wotansschwert2013]

My top 5 (in no particular order): del Monaco, Bergonzi, Vickers, Ferraro, Carreras. :)

[@Luifernal6]

Corelli para mi es el mejor con MDM... pero no es justo que hayan puesto la grabación del canto de Corelli a X2 o X3 speed

[@cabaletta64]

è vero, la devo rifare!

[@stefanogrimaldi503]

With Corelli & Del Monaco...there is no match

[@absdyna]

Is Zambon slightly sharp?

[@cabaletta64]

yes

[@absdyna]

cabaletta64 hmm I suspected as much! But still a note of extremely good quality! You don't hear voices like his today, unfortunately!

[@iccardo]

E filippeschi??

[@loperettaallamiticasalacar2906]

secondo me Primo assoluto Del Monaco, secondo Labò, terzo Bergonzi quarto Pavarotti, logicamente è una questione di gusti.

[@giovannidepolo1911]

Manca il più elettrizzante: Filippeschi!😊

[@cabaletta64]

@@giovannidepolo1911 si è vero, ma a quel tempo non avevo la registrazione. Mi dispiace.

[@mohsenarambon]

Filippeschi .. ??!!!!!!!

[@cabaletta64]

al momento di postare questo video non ce l'avevo, ora si! cmq con Filippeschi non ci sarebbe stata storia.

[@mohsenarambon]

@@cabaletta64 No, non è così L'ho postato io stesso ed è sul mio canale! Grande Mario Filippeschi è il detentore del record e la nota più lunga

[@krrainey77]

1. Corelli 2. Del Monaco 3. Di Stefano

[@stephenlord9]

Poor Corelli....the speed is all wrong so he sounds like a Chipmunk

[@feeltheforce7922]

Del Monaco, Bergonzi, Ferraro, Labo’, Pavarotti (top 5)

[@roccoscarselletta4446]

Ramon Vinay’s 1950 should be on this list. Better than half of the tenors in the video

[@trrill]

You know who's missing? Fllippeschi. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZS8XpVsnLp-opo

[@cabaletta64]

Yes I know, but I did not have the complete recording of the scene. Filippeschi was certainly among the best.

[@mauriziorighetti1442]

L' insopportabile Domingo di oggi è tuttavia il più corretto nella lettura, seguito da un vero verdiano come Labò; Bergonzi segue Del Monaco (quello del tenorismo brado e vociferante di cellettiana memoria...) esagerando nella tenuta della vocale e su "resto" , ma sono grandi interpreti, Lucianone che si vorrebbe sempre confinato in altro repertorio canta con estrema facilità ..

[@ChristopherRSkinner]

Not that it needs it by any means (in fact it might be less fitting, I think), nor that the kind of tenor required to sing the role live could be expected to have one, but has anyone ever heard a top D at the end of this? I could at least see someone attempting it.

[@oliverdelica2289]

Very ambitious 🤣

[@julianmartinoricordi3434]

Bergonzi, il più convincente

[@josewasi9588]

Corelli ...del monaco. Gigli no es buena la grabación no cuenta

[@АлександрМорозов-п1я]
