Gianni Raimondi Sings at the age of 70 (!!) [Barcelona, 13/11/1993]

Gianni Raimondi, in really EXTRODINARY VOICE, as if he was singing back to the 1950s!!!
He sings two Neapolitan Songs:
“ Dicitencello Vuie “ and “ O Paese d’o Sole “
Hope to enjoy!!!

[@panospeters8195]

I was there! It was a side exhibition mini gala afternoon due to his presence as Judging committee member in the Francesc Viňas Opera Contest for young singers in Barcelona Spain 1993!I participated as a young tenor !

[@alexkariotis]

I studied with Maestro Raimondi. His voice in our lessons was always such a joy to hear up close. His squillo would shake your soul. Riposa in pace.

[@jairosantanafigueroa4139]

What a privilege!

[@guillermopalblolopezgarcia9262]

Old schooll is the best.

[@wilfredomedero6680]

Can you share his advise or technique ? Thanks

[@alexkariotis]

@@wilfredomedero6680 I do in my private lessons all the time. what do you want to know?

[@sergiovanelli7420]

Timbro intatto.. Respirazione ancora adeguata...... Magnifico!!!!

[@lioneldemello9707]

Una clase de canto! A sus 70 años mostrando que con buena técnica muchas de las cualidades siguen intactas! Emision extraordinaria (diafragma de acero); timbre colorido, fiatto, fuerza interetativa, fraseo, respiracion adecuada, ....todo muy disfrutable. La "vieja escuela"

[@bernatriera5437]

Con 70 años canta mucho mejor que las "estrellas" de hoy en día.

[@raymondcorrales4324]

Gianni Raimondi is legend!!!! Sing like him at age 70? Impossible. Bravo! 👏👏👏👏

[@justinbrasfield6417]

This man sounds natural and incredible. He is one of the greatest vocally. He and Pavarotti seem to sing with similar techniques, and both are large, strong looking people who can really put something behind the voice.

Foi espetacular sua perfomance no Brasil fazendo Enzo Grimaldi na Gioconda de Ponchielli em 1969 com a equipe do Teatro São Carlos de Nápoles. Grandes nomes. Gian Giacomo Guelfi, Marta Rose, Helena Suliotes, Carlos Cava . Não esquecendo a atuação da Rita Romanelli na dança das horas.

[@antonioha4551]

Love Raimondi, il mio amore diamante! Questo è il tenore!

[@evgeny9965]

One of the most underrated and dependable colegues of the post-war period

[@georgesoperaworld5898]

Great!! Great technic! Great Raimondi!

[@bottledspider1]

Commovente. Nessuno canta più così. Una performance da brivido.

[@zs1968]

Great man and great tenor. One of my favorite ever!!!! The voice is still wonderful. Great technic and squillo.💗💗💗

[@mao1878]

I loved Raimondi in all his Callas pairings, he always completed her so well ( i think he was amazing with her in Bolena and nobody else would have been better)

[@OperaMyWorld]

Voina Marius Really many of us may think that he was just a nice tenor!! But he was really more than just a normal nice tenor!! He was Great!!! Really until today I haven’t heard a better Percy in Any Anna Bolena!!

[@OperaMyWorld]

Barone Vitellio Scarpia I don’t like him..

[@OperaMyWorld]

Barone Vitellio Scarpia I really not find his voice nice! And he skips in the Cabaletta High Cs that Donizetti has wrote!!

[@Perrosiutico]

Thrilling as ever! If you want to experience Gianni Raimondi at the height of his powers look for the recording of his 1963 performance of Arnoldo in Rossini's Guglielmo Tell.(on KZbin) It is both lyric and heroic and he easily nails every high C and C#. He started as a lyric, even leggero, but, like Di Stefano, pushed on to heavier roles. He is well represented by his Rodolfo in the movie of La Bohéme with Mirella Freni, conducted by Von Karajan. I saw him as Cavaradossi at the Metropolitan in 1968, holding his own against the formidable Tosca of Birgit Nilsson. Apparently, he never ventured beyond the Italian repertoire, except for an occasional Faust in Gounod's original setting.

[@pepeelsordo]

A voice that thrills you. Tenors of today don't thrill me.

[@pepeelsordo]

@Barone Vitellio Scarpia You are so right!!

[@richardmccowenclark2412]

This is why I got more into Musical Theater. They're no more thrilling tenors these days.

[@vincebossi46]

Sei stato il più gioviale e bel Rodolfo nella boheme.

[@juanjosedubal]

Passion for singing!

[@aetion]

Yes, that's extraordinary indeed! Thank you, OperaMyWorld.

[@roberto9003]

Grandissimo

[@e-bikeskibum7141]

WOW! The vibrato is totally healthy, especially for a 70 year old man. Many young singers, including me, have way too much vibrato.

[@niconico8088]

Bravissimooooooo!

[@boneocas]

Bravissimo!

[@kraus3591]

Impresionante !! Bravoooo !!!

[@msgantoniogiulianousaret.8096]

BRAVO!

[@joanlembo7845]

Beautiful !

[@elldarrio2451]

Bravissimo Gianni! La tua voce è giovane

[@victorli6848]

He sounded much older than he did in the 1950s but the cleanness and strength of that voice and projection did not even compromise minimally. This is overwhelmingly enjoyable singing indeed!

[@diegotissini5977]

La perfetta posizione del suono.

Chi sa cantare, pur facendo i conti con il tempo che passa, canta.

[@Agorante]

What's the big deal about singing at 70? Pavarotti and Domingo did that too. Of course Domingo was singing baritone by then. I think Gedda switched to comprimario parts so he could stay on stage. Someone look it up. I sang until I was seventy also. Not at this level of course. God told me it was time to quit. I was in a Traviata rehearsal and I had to leave to drive to the Emergency room. In my experience the vocal cords were fine but I couldn't sing the long lines anymore. No air. Too many breaths.
