Giuseppe Giacomini - "Recondita Armonia" - Tosca (Puccini)

[@brucebodden513]

"TOOOOOOO-SCAA-AA-AAAAAAA, sei tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" My god, what a voice. RIP.

[@EndoftheTownProductions]

His voice could wake up the universe.

[@alextubusor]

Giacomini, l'ultimo grande tenore drammatico. Immenso.

[@rationalsceptic7634]

One of the greatest Tenors since the War yet so shockingly underrated under the shadows of the 3 Tenors!

[@mariaadelaidechierichetti7918]

Si. Sia Giacomini che Bonisolli evidentemente non avevano alle spalle i manager di Pavarotti e Domingo, senza nulla togliere alla eccezionalità delle loro voci.

[@HellasItalia4]

Il piu grande Tenore vivente! Che lavoro....che strumento.....che legato.....che fiato......che SUONO......che affondo.......che punta.....che musicalita.....che Canna!!!!!! C'E' TUTTO in questo benedetto ARTISTA!!!! Grazie di cuore Giuseppe!

[@massiveqdawg]

Wow!! What a VOICE!!! I think this is the best I've ever heard this sung!!! Just WOW!!!!! Full bodied, dark and robust! God Bless!!

[@ML_624]

I’d recommend taking a look at this earlier recording by Corelli kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3vSaJiLlpp-iJI it might take your top spot! I’m a fan of both these recording but I think Corelli takes the cake.

[@johnbratincevic3634]

Morris, you - of all people - calling a tenor’s voice full bodied, dark, and robust is one hell of a compliment! 😂

[@Operanobility]

That's why this is an ART FORM and not just random forcing, bellowing and screaming. Giacomini KNEW his technique perfectly...and vocal perfection was the result. On this particular night, he was simply astounding. He always sang well, but this is simply amazing singing.

[@bacassa]

NEVER TAKE THIS DOWN OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Winnepausakee]

Astounding.....that I have studied tenor voices for nearly 40 years and just heard him today for the first time....Sounds like the sound comes from the cellar and rings in the attic....WOW

[@tonirose6776]

I hope I can remember that phrase: cellar/attic. Terrific.

[@Alexmeister25]

This is a real dramatic tenor... 🙏🏻😀

[@DanielFurii]

Omg. Same.

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

@@Alexmeister25 He has the sound or fullness of dramatic tenor, but voices can be very deceptive he had a medium sized voice. But then again a lot of heldentenors also had medium sized voices. It is certainly not small, however, someone like Corelli for example definitely had a quite bigger voice. But would not really guess that form just listening to a recording. But Giacomini is great he should be be better known. He had one of the last tenor voices that was really meant for heavy repertoire.

[@newtvanzanderfroggen2238]

A medium size voice? I heard him sing Cavaradossi in person, in rehearsals and live performances at Lyric Opera of Chicago in 1989, from the stage, wings, and various locations of the house, both main floor and balcony. If that was a medium sized voice, then I've never heard a cannon.

[@byungkyumin4579]

The greatest dramatic tenor of all time

[@massimo35897]

mamma mia che voce!!!!!!!!!!!!!Ma quanti tenori bravi che abbiamo avuto in Italia!!!!!!!!Bravoooo!!!!!!

I'am sorry for myself for having so late in my life appreciated his voice A BIG THANK YOU !

[@traindriva]

I don't know how many times I'm going to watch this before I die in the next few years but I'm going to treasure each one.

[@jpower316]

Its not just the "Squillo", or the Dramatic voice, or the amazing high note, but it is the weight and power that he produces while singing those amazing ringing high notes!!! We have all heard great high notes before, but not with so much heavy power that this man produces. Go listen to Vickers, Del Monaco, and Correli. They were all powerful and had full ringing voices in there prime, but this guy has some shock wave behind his notes that could blow you out of the theater!!

[@therealistjim]

the high 'A' before the B flat was poor. He even shuffled around because he knew it was bad also

[@samuelgreenrod1812]

jpower316 I don't think he actually had such a big voice, looking at videos of him in theatres live. Very beautiful though

[@oo4125]

James Frazier If you think that was poor, you really don't understand singing.

[@daved3713]

God Sloth Of course, his voice was huge. Very large

[@JJ-vv5id]

finally somebody knows it right! unfortunately because of the people lack of knowledge think what and how he performs are wrong by giving crappy non-sense reasons. It's just ridiculous because like you mentioned, that power and all that are what he has. he's not making that sound artificially but rather just doing it simply but many people don't know that because they don't have what he has so they would never understand until they think, consider, study and anaylise it properly. anyways well said jpower316!

[@GregoryMcCreanor]

What a fantastic voice!

[@petermuller9767]

Excellent!!!

[@lioneldemello9707]

Quieres la voz de un tenor que tenga la fuerza de un trueno? Que parta la atmósfera? Listo: Giacomini. Una linea de canto unica, una fuerza inigualable, virilidad, presencia sobre el escenario. De los mejores tenores dramáticos de la historia, sin dudas!!

[@traindriva]

You know it's brilliant when the orchestra applauds with obvious and heartfelt appreciation.

Not into opera so much myself. But another opera lover said she was happy that the era with park and bark singers is a thing of the past. If I understood her right she would categorize this singer as such. Perhaps am I wrong.

Big, free, warm, vibrant, in tune, beautiful. I wish I was there to experience his singing live.

[@willrennie5778]

Shit! Never heard such an easy, powerful voice. This guy should be way more famous than he is Bravo xxx

[@mikespano1]

I listen to a LOT of Tenors, especially the Master Pavarotti. Giacomini holds the notes near and at the end of the Aria as perfect, as long or longer as any Tenor I have ever heard. Bravo!

[@johnmarohn6777]

No frills. A meat-and-potatoes tenor. Love it.....

[@giampierone010]

Finalmente un "Recondita Armonia" come si deve!!! Era molto tempo che ascoltavo Armiliato,Alagna,Kaufmann,Giordani Alvarez tutti artisti di ora!!!,che noia!!!,quando ho cliccato Giacomini ...meno male l'ho fatto ed ho trovato una differenza di interpretazione vocale totalmente diversa da tutti i citati in precedenza!!! Giacomini pur non essendo tra i fuoriclasse passati di fronte ai nostri odierni è un "fenomeno"! Anni fa a Torre del lago interpretò una Tosca a dir poco spettacolare,per voce,tecnica, interpretazione,(cosa rara per lui),e sopratutto lineare senza una sbavatura di nessun tipo!!! Era una di quelle serate che ad un artista capita di rado in carriera...credo sia l'ultimo tenore degno di essere ricordato!!!!!!!!! Grazie
