Many times overlooked, Bonisolli was a very fine singer and tenor.
@peterdevita630811 ай бұрын
Bonisolli and Marton are absolutely stunning in their finale to Giordano's ANDREA CHENIER as the poet Chénier (he lived at the time of the Trench Revolution) and his beloved MADDALENA de Coigny sing of their love and impending death at the end of the opera as both go to the guillotine knowing they will never be separated because of their love. The musicality is tremendous, they both reach their extraordinary high notes and sing dreamatically as if on the opera stage. It is one of the great finales in all of Opera. It is Umberto Giordano's masterpiece. It truly is a very sad fact that tenor FRANCO BONISOLLI who was so great never got the true regognition he deserved because he was singing at a time when Franco Corelli was still on the scene as was Carlo Bergonzi and then Placido Domingo and Pavarotti not to mention other tenors like José Carreras, Giuseppe Giacomini, Carlo Cossuta and many more. He was one of the top tenors of his day and yet hardly anyone mentions him today in 2023. It's a real shame and tragedy that this has occurred.

EVA MARTON y FRANCO BONISOLLI conforman otro grandioso Dueto de Amor, el mismo que diversas parejas de grandes solistas han igualmente interpretado con absoluta maestría y profesionalismo sin límites. Este dueto marca el cierre impetuoso de la Opera ANDREA CHENIER, original del gran compositor italiano Umberto Giordano y basada en textos sobre episodios reales de la Revolución Francesa, aunque los hechos narrados y los nombres sean totalmente ficticios. La magnificencia de las dos voces, la fuerza expresiva de la música, junto con el vigoroso respaldo de los timbales y de los redoblantes en los pasajes más intensos de este cuadro final, hacen de este cierre uno de los más grandiosos jamás escritos en el catálogo de dramas históricos tipificados en las notas vibrantes y arrolladoras de este final.

Cosa altro si può aggiungere a questa spettacolare esecuzione!!!!!!!!!! 🌹💪👍 C'è morbidezza, musicalità, voce al top, interpretazione con sentimento. Sono entrambi nella parte,di più credo non si possa pretendere. Da Bonisolli poi c'è da aspettarsi di tutto e di più, voce immensa nessun ruolo gli era proibito, faceva tutto con estrema facilità grazie allo studio e alla tecnica di emissione, poi il Padre eterno lo ha dotato a piene mani di tutto ciò che una voce lirica deve avere: colore, armonici bruniti, squillo potenza, estensione al cubo. Insomma grande tra i grandi. Dal carattere fumante , volitivo e simpaticissimo. Purtroppo inviso da certa stampa parruccona che lo ha avversato. Per fortuna abbiamo queste registrazioni che testimoniano la grandezza di questo TENORE!!!!!!!!!! 🌹💪👍

Bonisolli took no B.S from any conductor and Von Karajan was notorious for making Tenors suffer , he hated tenors. I was in the chorus for a Trovatore rehearsal with Bonisolli and Karajan was taking the tempo at a ridiculous pace which no tenor could take so Bonisolli mentioned to him to slow down upon which Karajan went even faster and that's when Franco blew his top at Karajan called him a Bastardo and promptly threw his sword into the orchestra pit and stormed off stage. Of Course this is what Karajan wanted and had Franco fired and Domingo took his place upon which i quit .They didn't miss me one bit but replacing Franco with Domingo hurt the whole production and to boot Domingo got the last laugh on Karajan because he had him transpose the main aria down a whole tone because he couldn't hit the High C or even a B .

Less like a love duet when they sing it, more like a duel. She has the edge in vocal cream and musical suitability; he's somewhat strained. Odd how they don't even really look at each other.
