Gain Giacomo Guelfi - Nemico della patria - Andréa Chenier - Giordano

[@photo161]

Unquestionably one of the truly great Verdi Baritones of the 20th Century. But he is so terribly less well known than he deserves to be.

[@xxsaruman82xx87]

Couldn’t agree more.

[@photo161]

...What an awesome voice!!! It is shocking that so great a singer could have remained so little known. I have heard of him but never heard him sing until today here on KZbin. I had always thought he must have been born early in the 20th century, not as recently as 1924! I will now be searching for more recordings of his...but the mystery of his undeservedly small career remains vexing...@@xxsaruman82xx87

I heard him sing this live with the San Carlo Opera at London's Drury Lane Theatre 1958 , a most dramatic and impressionable performance .

Grande ! Guelfi- чудо певец- баритон, ученик Tutto Ruffo, достойнейший.... О нём надо писать на полях You Tube как о великом певце- Баритоне, последователей, Titto Ruffo , и после смерти Bactianini , единственным ( на мой взгляд ) иметь честь оставаться в первых рядах ВЕЛИКИХ ПЕВЦОВ❗️🌿👏👏👏👏🌿🌷🌷❤️❤️

E' una meraviglia ascoltare una si bella voce potente e limpida.

[@ΧαραλαμποςΚωνσταντινου-ζ8ε]

Grandissimo Gian Giacomo Guelfi!

[@giampierone010]

Grande voce e interprete di qualità!!! Grazie

[@frankmaiorana66]

It is too bad he did not record more. This is a baritone, a sonourous rich deep beefy sound. I became familiar with his work only on KZbin. I know he sang Cavalleria Rusticana and Aida on stage with Giuseppe DI Stefano. This is a fantastic sounding baritone.

[@pietroavola3472]

Grande..... un Baritono con gli attributi !!!! Centri generosi , e tecnica superba !!!

[@ShawDAMAN]

Excellent. One of my favorites. I like how he avoided the tendency to be a bit hammy on this aria.

[@giuseppinascapparone5912]

Altro pezzo da novanta tra i migliori baritoni!!! Che bello ascoltare queste magnifiche voci, vengono i brividi per tanta bellezza!!!! Peccato essere nati tanti anni fa, ma abbiamo avuto la gioia ed il privilegio di ascoltare dal vivo queste meraviglie!!!!! Grazie Maestro!!!!!

[@opera888able]

Sung with great finesse, power, when needed and subtlety. Listening to this I can imagine him being a able actor too.

[@johnblasiak607]

Magnificent voice in my opinion warm rich powerful beautiful top notes

[@Huaimek861]

Brilliant !!! I heard him sing Gérard with the San Carlo Napoli visiting London for a six week season at Drury Lane . His performance aroused such emotion , it brought the house down , magnificent , I have never forgotton . It is so good to find this recording . I have read some criticisms of him as a performer , but you can't have everything , such a magnificent dramatic voive , always musical .

[@69brancaleone]

Beautiful voice and performance...i like the rendition of this wonderful aria. Thanks for this post.

[@bokewilhelm1452]

habe ihn des öfteren gehört--enorme

[@frankmaiorana66]

Guelfi is a very interesting baritone. I do not ever remember him recording any opera. I have noticed he sang at La Scala and was involved in some performances in the 50's with Giuseppe Di Stefano. He may not have recorded like other baritones like Tito Gobbi and Rolando Panerai. I really have only become familiar with Guelfi here on KZbin.

[@josemsrisdasilveirs49]

Stupendo, meraviglioso. Bravissimo

[@giordisauro1]

[@mino7520]

Grande voce. Alievo di tita Ruffo se non sbaglio.amirabile.

[@mariodelmonaco2]

Superba interpretazione di Gerard.Bellissimo il timbro.

[@poloschamisjuss410]

Nicolino Lupo

[@FalfasdeFloglin]

[@trov85]

[@СветланаЗабаева-х5к]

Согласна.Эталонно.Прочувствованно,он царит на сцене.Красочный баритон,незабываемый

[@G.Andrea_Piras]

Vasto, potente, intenso.

[@Hocra]

What a treat. As the old adage goes: no pain giacomo, no gain giacomo.

[@cristianionita8359]

LOLLLLl!!!!!!!!!!! Typo!!

[@Taehan_Kim_1]

Bravo

[@ТатьянаДанилова-э7ы]

Наконец-то слышу запись, где баритон не ржет после первой фразы.

[@amantedellopera1681]

Hi people if you like this aria please try listening to the great but too often overlooked paolo silveri singing this

[@christianroider118]

Amabile, ma no eroico❤🎉

[@marisamassimino6418]

Buono. L 'ho sentito dal vivo in questa opera. Aveva una presenza imponente sulla scena, grande successo. Ma non è paragonabile a Bastianini, molto più raffinato.

[@ronaldgoff7499]

great voice little like warren sounds big live need him today

[@cristovaomendoca8164]

4:16 🔊🔊🔊🔊

[@boothtarkington2681]

LISTEN to HEINRICH SCHLUSNUSS

[@demonstain]

POOR!!

[@ricardobedini5345]

Pero comparando a la misma aria como la cantaba TITTA hay una diferencia en los agudos. Guelfi intuba en agudos, no obstante Ruffa los emite con plena claridad y colocacion correcta en cabeza y sus resonadores.. Es cuestion de de escuchar varias veces, alternando a guelfi, despues a Titta, luego a Guelfi, y asi sucesivamente, se notará la diferencia.......................

[@petergraham8681]

A bass voice unique in its time for its timbre of depth, sonority, magnificent power & yet still capable of an additional dark lyricism when required. Unfortunately his equally gargantuan appetite for food & alcohol ended his career & life at only 44 years.
