[@aldoditoro3139]

[@sugarbist]

@@davidjaraba5936 Dear David, 2006, Alagna was hissed and booed at La Scala after singing the opening aria ''Celeste Aida''. He shook his fist to the balcony where the booing took place. He then walked off the stage and left the theater. The Amneris was left to sing the duet by herself. The manager used a standby tenor Antonio Palombi respectfully finished the opera Alagna vowed never to return to La Scala again. In My Opinion, Alagna doesn't really have a voice for Radames when comparing him to tenors like Corelli, Tucker, Volpi, MDM, Filippeschi, Merli and Martinelli who sang the role a record 123 times at the Met.

''Lauri Volpi, " Perhaps the best B-FLATS OF ANY TENOR" and lets hope he lasts. Quoted by George Jellinek. VOLPI, '''MDM had a complex voice in the gloomy infliction's of a baritone in the first octave and extended up to high C which is a ''A VERY STRANGE THING'' This type of voice in a way tends to be of a baritone tessitura. When the day comes where Otello has exhausted him as a tenor with a baritone quality, he could well sing as a soprano which would be over the top. Page 149 from Volpi's "Voce Parallele" Jellinek also mentioned while chuckling " MDM has a trick soprano voice and if one day Del Monaco can no longer sing as a tenor, we could perhaps hear him as a soprano". Overall, a great tenor that dedicated his life to his art form and was better live than on records.

After this Pavarotti is a joke in comparison and Carreras being talked into it was criminal. This is a heavy weight role and requires a voice of extraordinary vigour and power to justify Verdi’s requirements. Del Monaco nails it.

[@sugarbist]

Dear John, Yes, Radames does require a voice of power. Pavarotti was a great lyric tenor who successfully sang roles outside of his repertoire. Pav was not truly suited for the role of Radames as Gigli was not, but they both managed the role. MDM and Corelli were not suited for Lucia, but they both performed the opera, however, not as well as Pavarotti where suitability is concerned. Pavarotti also sang this opera in the 1990s when MDM Corelli, and Tucker were no longer available.

[@joshuafurtado-mendes9327]

@@sugarbistdid Del Monaco perform Lucia? Do you know which year he sang it?

[@sugarbist]

@@joshuafurtado-mendes9327 January 3rd 1952 at the Met with Pons and Capecchi. Review: Mr. Del Monaco was a handsome & impetuous lover, more at ease vocally in moments of anger & stress than in the gentler strains of the first act duet & the closing ''Tu Che A Dio Spiegasti L'ali.'' In Donnizetti's music his failure to achieve any semblance of a legato line was disaffecting; but in compensation, his honest & lively belief in the dramatic values of the score made his performance a vivid & lively one. Corelli also sang the opera at the Met in Jan. 11, 1971 to poor reviews and bowed out after the 1st act in his 2nd performance on Jan.21st 1971.

[@joshuafurtado-mendes9327]

@@sugarbist thank you for providing this, I had no idea he performed the full role as I’ve only heard the studio recording of the aria. I’ve found that the period between 1950-1953 found Del Monaco in a period of a particular energetic period in regards to his singing approach before he entered his full prime so I can imagine what the review is talking about. I wish there was a recording.

Annoying facial expressions and hand gestures, not to even mention how he sings in the wings or even with his back turned to the audience. High powerful notes. OK. Fine. But too 1 dimensional for me.

[@amantedellopera1681]

Well its obvious your not a fan and dont appreciate one of the best ever rsdames,and that just me saying this read the rest of the comments here,yours are a tad petty indeed,he was the finest dramatic tenor to ever sing in opera

[@sugarbist]

The gestures that MDM used were partially a form of his acting, but he also used physical strength to achieve the massive voice production that we hear. Even in concert form as scene here on YT he raises his shoulders and extends his arms and quite often his eyes would bulge. He did state that he could not sing as often as a lyric tenor because he applied so much physical strength. Many times it also seemed as if Corelli was not exerting himself, but if you look closely at some of his live videos, you can see perspiration on his face. The same was true about Tucker who basically had an easy production but you could see his facial perspiration as well.

I have never seen anyone jut out their lower jaw on high notes. Pretty much counter to human vocal technique and anatomy. And yet he still did it! That’s what amazes me. He had to be fearless because he was just working without a net. And probably so frustrating for his fellow artists. His ‘technique’ couldn’t sustain anything but full volume.

[@anonymousdude1010]

I should answer to you with links to Del Monaco's live recordings here in youtube, but I will task you with searching for them as a benevolent reproach for coming out with your callous comment on Del Monaco not being able to sustain anything but at full volume. "Cielo e mar", the last note before the start of the aria (on the word "buonanotte), plus in the middle of the aria (on the last "o sogni d'or"). Check also his 1969 recital for the German TV here on youtube: in Otello's "Dio, mi potevi scagliar": on "l'anima acqueto". I would also advise a careful listening of the first duet of Andrea Chenier with Maddalena (choose the one with Renata Tebaldi): the attacco on the A flat is a really difficult one, especially so piano and morbido as he manages to do it. You must understand that Del Monaco could do "everything", but he needed a "branded" sound to stress his uniqueness in the midst of such other phenomenal tenors of his age. He chose to highlight his bronze, glorious and virile sound, and undoubtedly he sometimes overdid it, especially to our "modern" ears. I'll stop this comment here, I have to use too many "quotes"...

[@sugarbist]

An absolute inaccurate comment: Singing piano was not MDM's strength but he did do it many times throughout his career. Examples: La Solita Storia Del Pastore. The entire aria is sung in mezza voce. O Paradiso, The Flower Song, Cielo E Mar, Lohengrin aria, La Juive aria, Tosca 1954 "RARI " performance from Naples. MDM encores the " E Lucevan Le Stelle" with mezza voce & diminuendo. 1946 Ballo In Maschera singing softly and the Scherzo aria Laughing as few tenors could do, Adriana,Duets from Manon Lescaut, Tosca, Forza, and of course the Otello duets. Yes, almost abandoning mezza voce after 1960, except for Otello. MDM was a master of his complicated technique and as Corelli mentions here on YT. MDM tried to sing softly but his technique made it very difficult.
