Beauty = strength + grace. This is beautiful.

[@dubbelhenke854]

Wonderful singing.

[@ransomcoates546]

Heard him many times beginning in 1965. A very great singer in his prime.

[@allender9]

i luv his mezza voce..

[@amandajean7738]

A handsome man with a voice of pure cashmere.

[@викторвасильев-в6у]

What about Bonaldo Giaiotti? He was not a real bass?

[@victorchristy1706]

He was a real bass. One of the clear-sounding and loudest!

[@BaroneVitellioScarpia1]

Is this the 1967 recording?

[@mariobarbov9605]

It doesn't seem so but I may be wrong

[@gergelycsallo5133]

I think it's from the Giulini recording ...

[@pedritox1235]

Confutatis maledictis, flammis acribus addictis, voca me cum benedictis. Oro supplex et acclinis, cor contritum quasi cinis gere curam mei finis.

[@hoangdang6142]

Why are the lyrics exactly the same to 'Confutatis' from Mozart's Requiem? Did Verdi copy Mozart? Or did they both copy from the same source???

[@classicalmusic9466]

@@hoangdang6142 yes verdi copy the lyrics but its different sound and he add dies irae to it

[@lorenzofurnari]

@@classicalmusic9466 do not give false information: Verdi did not copy from Mozart. The Requiem Mass was not written by Mozart or by Verdi, it was probably written in 1560 and was a mass for the dead that was recited in church. They just set it to music.

Magnifique !

[@pedrosergio2002]

The last real bass for me is Samuel Ramey.

[@HellasItalia4]

great baritone or rossiniano bass-baritone

[@acadela3506]

definitely not a baritone

[@thestampium3295]

I think this voice should be baritone. Verdi composed for the singer sing high notes.
