Giacomini "O suave fanciulla" La Boheme, Macerata 1982

[@s-fchtry7805]

Is there the entire opera available somewhere? 🙏🙏🙏

[@commentorinchief788]

I have it somewhere. I will try and locate it and if I am able to rip it will upload it here. I uploaded all my opera videos 20 years ago before KZbin allowed videos that long.

He was great, the last true dramatic tenor. Pls mind it is *soave* , not "suave". Thanks for the post.

He is a tenor spinto, a dramatic tenor's passaggio zone starts at C4, as does a baritone

[@ddevicente]

They transposed it down in the middle, so its a high B. Anyways, whats a tenot? Giacomini was one of the greats. I like Jan Peerce too.

[@LaurisStephani]

There's a concept known as transposition? :)

[@jmccracken1963]

Some really good singing - but Giacomini and Caballe pull the tempo like taffy! Listen to Toscanini with Peerce and Albanese for what can be done by artists who truly respect what Puccini wrote. Nonetheless, thanks for sharing this performance!!

@wop9999 maybe you dont know him at all.. so dont call him fool,, ^^ look for his other videos, he is a higly respected tenor. believe me.. and for your listening ears, its not a high C ** its only a high B.. listen before you comment.. hahahahaha!!!

[@MusicalTenor23]

people.. before you comment on videos here, make sure you have a good point.. unlike this wop9999 whose ears have lots of earwax, he cant hear the difference of a Hi C and a Hi B.. play it on your piano and you will hear aa Hi B! if You hear a Hi C, then what a pity! stupido wop9999!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and who are you calling a fool?? Giacomini?? look at yourself! he sang Vesti la giubba last august 2009! his age is somewhat 70, and still, he nailed it better than a 30 year old tenor, bobo!!!
