Don Carlo: "Ella giammai m'amò" (Ferruccio Furlanetto)

[@renepierre2910]

Una delle più fenomenali pagine per basso mai musicate. Non solo verdiane ma di tutto il teatro d'opera.

[@7H7GRm8jm4QCnjuQ]

No one who has heard him sing this live can exaggerate how incredible it is. The greatest performance I have ever seen, I don’t see how anyone can ever top it. I couldn’t hardly applaud when he was finished because it was so emotional

[@hanschristianhoff5341]

I saw the Hytner production in Oslo (with Anja Harteros/Peter Mattei/Renè Pape and a nondescript tenor). Pape as Philip was in no way inferior to this. Vocally both Siepi and Ghiaurov are even more impressive. This aside, also F. is a joy to behold.

[@peterdevita6308]

STEFAN H - You actually have it in reverse - It is the original French text that fits the music "like the hand in glove" - few musicologists would argue with that. IT WAS A FRENCH TEXT and VERDI fashioned his music around that FRENCH TEXT....... One can't argue that! However, I will admit that as much as I love the French sung DON CARLO, I have heard it most often in Italian in the major Opera Houses and I adore it. I've heard it sung on stage completely in FRENCH TWICE and it's a totally different dynamic......... It's your preference, dude and there is nothing wrong with that. The almighty important thing is that we are listening to opera. So keep on truckin'!

I just LOVE this!!!! First time I heard it was in Rome, when I got home I rushed to the record store and bought two versions and found out when listening that one was in French and the other one in Spanish and the magic was gone. I know Verdi composed the original on a french libretto and that it's about the Spanish court, but I find the Italian version fits the music like the hand in glove.

[@iliakazakov-ba6974]

[@Jacky-ww1ld]

[@LeiaThePrincess1]

Altough I fell in love with this aria performed by Nicolai Ghiaurov, I love his performance really much too. It always seems to me that aria touches something in his personal past and the emotions he experienced. It seems that he understands Philip in some way.

[@enzo652]

Ella giammai m’amò! No, quel cor chiuso è a me, amor per me non ha! Io la rivedo ancor contemplar triste in volto il mio crin bianco il dì che qui di Francia venne. No, amor per me non ha, amor per me non ha! (ritornando in sè) Ove son?... Quei doppier presso a finir! L’aurora imbianca il mio veron! Già spunta il dì! Passar veggo i miei giorni lenti! Il sonno, o Dio! sparì dai miei occhi languenti! Dormirò sol nel manto mio regal quando la mia giornata è giunta a sera, dormirò sol sotto la volta nera, là, nell’avello dell’Escurïal. Se il serto regal a me desse il poter di leggere nei cor, che Dio può sol veder! Se dorme il prence, veglia il traditore; il serto perde il Re, il consorte l’onore Dormirò sol nel manto mio regal quando la mia giornata è giunta a sera, dormirò sol sotto la volta nera, là, nell’avello dell’Escurïal. Ah! se il serto regal a me desse il poter di leggere nei cor! Ella giammai m’amò! No! quel cor chiuso e a me, amor per me non ha, amor per me non ha! (ricade nelle sue meditazioni)

[@killmrdarcy4367]

@@jessemendozadavis6544 As great as Ramey is, he is far too cantabile for Phillip! Yes, Verdi roles such as this (e.g. Silva in 'Ernani') require a true profoundo bass, while Furlanetto's portrayal of the role is arguably the greatest ever in surveying the whole history of 'Don Carlo' - inclusive of Christoff, Ghiaurov, Lloyd, et.al.

[@eboli7146]

Andrea Silvestrelli is also magnificent and he is still singing.

[@peterdevita6308]

Stefan H - There is NO DON CARLO sung in SPANISH......... by some freak you might have found " ELLA GIAMMAI M'AMO', Philip's Act IV Monologue sung in Spanish by some basso profondo but it has NEVER been performed in Spanish. It is either the original French text or the more commonly used Italian..... however, the French is gaining ground and even the almighty MET will be doing DON CARLO in the 2021/22 season NOT in ITALIAN but in the original French. It is the French that fits beautifully to the music but I must admit that I personally prefer the ITALIAN.

[@andreistan5497]

French is an exceptionally elegant language but has nothing to do with opera.

[@peterdevita6308]

@@andreistan5497 You, Andrei Stan, don't seem to have much of a clue about the French language (which is beautiful when well spoken or sung) other than you say it is an elegant language; You must be slightly unhinged to say that French has "nothing to do with opera"........ The French language has been part of opera from the earliest of times, as far back as LULLY.... and the baroque period becoming enormous in the 19th Century with the likes of Gounod, Saint-Saens, Offenbach, Mayerbeer, Bizet, Massenet and more ... then with composers bridging into the 20th century like Charpentier, Debussy, Milaud, Dukas, Ravel and Poulenc's "Dialougues des Carmélites" not to mention more modern composers. So how can you state so incoreectly that French has "nothing to do with opera"? May I ask where you were educated?

[@andreistan5497]

@@peterdevita6308 Dear Peter, thanks for your lecture in the history of French music. It was a lovely gesture although not necessary at all. I assure you I am very familiar with French culture, written, painted, built, spoken, sung or whatever it may be. No cultivated person would argue about the qualities of the French composers that you mentioned and many more others, in the instrumental area (by the way, Lully was a ”frenchised” Italian and you forgot maybe the greatest of them all, Rameau). Yet, as soon as it comes to bel canto, French becomes rough and cloddish, sometimes downright unpleasant. This is precisely what I meant and I stand to it. A completely different sound have their modern chansons which are rather spoken than sung which is why their performers are called ”diseurs”. This is a personal opinion, you do not have to share it !

[@lirica3209]

Per chi riesce a cogliere la differenza: in francese "elle ne m'aime pas"; in italiano "ella giammai m'amò". Nella versione italiana c'è tutto il dramma della consapevolezza di non essere MAI stato amato.

How can people think this is perfect is beyond me, very nasal and small singing and wobble at times, very squeezed sound throughout

[@puma5471]

Opera Lover have you heard him sing this role live?! I heard him 6 times. I can tell you that you are totally wrong!

[@PeterBarber]

Well, it's actually not nasal -- nasality happens when the sound goes through the nasal passage, and I can assure you that his soft palate is raised at all times while singing, sealing off the nasal passage. So you may not like the sound he's making, but it's not because of nasality. Also, Ferruccio has one of the biggest voices of recent history (I have heard him live in Don Carlo and his voice was far bigger than even Morris Robinson's), so he's not doing any kind of small singing even if it may sound like that at times in this video. The wobble has become more prominent as of late, but the man is still singing very, very well for his 70s.

[@7H7GRm8jm4QCnjuQ]

It is huge and dark in the house, not nasal at all. Three to four times bigger than that James Morris, whose voice was already one of the biggest I heard in the Met. You hear some wobble on the recording but not in the house. Every word was perfectly clear as well.

[@boundary2580]

Bigger voices struggle to be comprehended when recorded. Think Del Monaco and Richard Tucker. I know there is a trend of bashing contemporary opera songs but this guy is the real deal.

[@massiveqdawg]

I actually sang this opera with him in 2018 ... I've been in other shows with him as well. I can promise you ... there is nothing nasl about his sound. In recordings resonance comes across as nasal. I have a big voice, and I've sung with some of the largest, most beautiful voice ever heard (Zajick, Giordani (God rest his soul), Guleghena (Spelling) Ramey etc). Furlaneto BY FAR has the largest, most gorgeous sound EVER. (Zajick was defening to be fair ... but she wasn't a Bass) 😊 There is nothing critical to be said about his singing. Its so naturally nuanced and beautiful ... and I speak this from the vantage point of a current Performing Artist who also happens to be a Bass who sang Inquisitor opposite his Filippo! My 2 cents
