Una furtiva lagrima - Carlo Bergonzi 1967

[@snoopenny]

He was a spiritual singer. I was fortunate to hear him many times at the Metropolitan Opera, where he was beloved and sang there for many years. He was my favorite. When I watch this-and he did it at the Met many times-I have tears in my eyes remembering this phenomenal tenor. He was unique.

[@philzmusic8098]

That diminuendo at the end is stunning.

[@pasztopeter303]

Bergonzi tratta la sua voce dolce e dolce con naturalezza e intelligenza come se stesse parlando con te . Nessuna esagerazione, i suoni sono semplici e tuttavia il suono elementare è meraviglioso...

[@道-p2e]

so much in love with this rendition, among many others, Mr. Bergonzi's voice is closer to heart! Full of subtle details, and phrasing, and everything, from start to the end. So fit to the role for this aria, Love, Bravo, and Bravos...

Signor Bodiloto, tutti parlano di questa interpretazione come inarrivabile per tecnica magistrale, gusto e bel canto. Solo lei dice "Non mi piace".

The argument is childish in the extreme. Appreciation of an art form has nothing to do with our own ability to practice that art form, we have ears and an education. If only former singers would be allowed to attend opera performances, theaters would be empty.

[@petercollins7848]

Every singers voice is unique, or should be. For goodness sake Maria Callas had a voice that was hard on the ears, but the whole package was a wonder. Bergonzi was fabulous singer and lasted a lot longer than many.

And after Bergonzi the true art of bel canto died.

[@magdalits]

Well, it's not that it died, more like it has evolved over time. If you look around, you will notice comments like "Garcia school has ruined belcanto", "After Bergonzi belcanto died", "After Callas belcanto died", "After Pavarotti belcanto died" etc. It's because our aesthetic perception changes over time, so certain ways of singing and certain interpretations become partially outdated. It doesn't mean you can't enjoy Bergonzi's singing and it certainly doesn't mean there are no (and never will be) good singers around =)

Stylistically this is far from what we can hear on old recordings done by singers who lived much closer to the original period. I know people who are of the opinion that the "yokel" aspect of the character suits him. That might be, but I have never subscribed to the notion Nemorino is a yokel. Donizetti didn't write music for a pedestrian Nemorino, the tenor should sing with vocal nobility and all the bel canto graces he can think of, and this is exactly what's missing here. Not completely missing, but mostly missing. My preference is also for a tenor who should not sound constricted as soon as he approaches passagio. This being said, he's by no means bad, but he is also by no means anything extraordinary. Solid, respectable average, doing his best, I'm sure.
