Grande Franco ha cantato senza sforzo in un colpo solo, ma pochi sanno che dietro questa facilità si nasconde un duro lavoro . ancora una volta bravo, Bravo il Grande Franco!!!

Che grandissimo Tenore!!!!!!! Nonostante i 61 anni, una splendida forma vocale ed ancora una morbidezza e facilità negli acuti!!!!!!! Ragazzi questo era un vero tenore per Nessun Dorma, non questi tenoretti di adesso (Alagna, Giordani, Alvarez) che cantano questo repertorio con una voce da Pastorello in Tosca. FACCIAMOLA FINITA!!!!! Cominciamo a lodare i VERI TENORI!!!!!!! Grazie di tutto FRANCO!!! CI MANCHI TANTISSIMO!!!!!

For me he is the only true tenor, so much passion and fire in voice AND i also love the fact that he was outspoken and did not hesitate to speak his mind.

If singing is not this beautiful connection with the audience, where a great performer (amazing tenor!) pours himself out to his listeners as we see here, I don't know what it should be. Beautiful!!! Grande Bonisolli!! The world of opera misses this kind of singing, this amazing experience.

The unicum! Franco is greatest magic tenor! He is warm and exact. The truth, power and never prudence, not saving or caring of himself, and didn't hide anything from us. All the magic was giving out till the rest, till the bottom... Thanks, Franco!

Bonisolli was of course almost an exact contemporary of Pavarotti. They sang pretty much the same repertoire. And they sang in the same houses. But Bonisolli was more fun. I remember at San Francisco Opera Gordon Getty had paid for a new production of Gioconda designed to showcase Pavarotti. Pavarotti sang it well of course but two years later they wanted to do it again and he wasn't available. They brought in Franco. I saw both of them do the part from the same seats. Who was better? I remember Bonisolli quite well but Pavarotti hardly at all. Bonisolli threw himself into the role. He stormed around the set singing up a storm. Bonisolli and Pavarotti had vocal differences. Probably Pavarotti's best recording was Rodolfo in La Boheme. Bonisolli's best recording is also La Boheme but the one by Leoncavallo not the more familiar version by Puccini. You owe it to yourself to seek it out and hear it. Both had a solid High C but Bonisolli kept his longer. Pavarotti has a smoother prettier sound. very even and balanced. Bonisolli's voice had what I called "gear shifts", as he went up and down the scale he could sometimes be heard to adjust his placement. But Bonisolli was always more committed and impassioned. Bonisolli had begun his career as a light tenor. He sang Almaviva something Pavarotti could never have done. He always had a secure top but when I first heard him years before it wasn't a real big voice. But it grew. He had a bigger more robust sound than Pavarotti by the time I heard them in Gioconda. He was more fun because he obviously was enjoying himself. He was exuberant. What Pavarotti had was better management.

ich habe ihn gesehen live!!!!!! ein jahrhundertereignis!!!!

¿Pero cómo se puede cantar así? ¡BRAVO! ¡BRAVO! Y ¡BRAVO!. Esto es un tenor que canta desde la primera nota hasta la última poniendo alma, corazón, técnica y respeto por el canto. No como otros que pasan de puntillas por el aria buscando el lucimiento en el agudo final. Portento de voz y de facultades... ¡Cuanta falta nos haces, Frnco!... Hay gente que no debería morir nunca.

Grandissimo Bonisolli. Ho conosciuto suo fratello, Gino. Mi raccontava di come fosse stato un po messo da parte, soprattutto in Italia, a causa del suo caratterino bizzoso. Comunque un grande Tenore.

[@gmsgdiazdiaz353]

Se lo voy a traducir al castellano: porque no se plegó a los directores ni a la industria. E hizo bien, porque hizo lo que quiso y, ahora, los amantes de la Opera le tenemos a él, su talento inmenso, su autenticidad y su gallardía. Bravo, Franco!!!

"Old tenor hero" but here not as his best. Not in tempo, starts to early and is flat here and there. Does people NOT HEAR THIS ?

[@renatobonisolli6039]

vorrei sentire qualche altro tenore a 62 anni dopo una carriera come la sua a cantare così!!! lei è un "fine" ascoltatore ma un pessimo giudice.!!!!!!! stia bene
