Mario Del Monaco sings Pagliacci (vaimusic.com)

[@michiok.2081]

This 1961 performance of I Pagliacci in Tokyo was history making. Del Monaco, best Canio (best Otello) in history, received 30+ minutes ovation for his "Vesti la giubba". No tenor, before or after him, could replace him. Long live the memory of Mario!

[@matindrie]

Not only a fantastic voice, also a fantastic actor!

[@ColSMoran]

Mario Del Monaco is not a human. He's a supernatural being. I am convinced of this by listening to every aria performed by him.

[@ИринаГоворющенко]

Это гениально! Лучшее исполнение всех времен!

[@erzalibillas]

¡¡Mario del Mónaco!! ¡¡El más grande tenor que ha dado el mundo!! Tu voz arrebatadora, tu fuerza que los ignorantes llamaban chillona, es la más gran joya que ha dejado la historia, tu porte y tu saber interpretar no tendrán límites en los anales de la ópera. Tu muerte fue, hace unos años, una gran pérdida. Pero tu figura es inmortal. Como Camarón, como Rocío Jurado... Inmortal Mario.

Mario del Monaco was an astounding dramatic tenor, but he also was a wonderful singing actor. The amount of emotion he brings to each scene is just breathtaking. You won't find this much emotion today in any singer.

[@manuelferrante7710]

Perfetto Marco Del Monaco! Scusatemi è stato il più grande Tenore di sempre!

[@justanotherbohemian3827]

Opera is to me the highest level of singing. To develop a voice huge enough to fill a whole theatre and send shivers down the audience's spines, have them tearing up just because of your voice power. And Mario del Monaco is a perfect example! Look at him! Listen to him! I would have burst into tears! Oh, and he has the best laughter ever in this aria!

[@oliverdelica2289]

I agree especially with the last line 😉

[@stellaphantom366]

Agreed. Don’t forget that in opera plays, you also have to act. Opera plays like this are beyond musicals, they’re in their own league. And yes, Del Monaco’s acting was on point here!

[@francocapone9094]

Ricordo che la risata non è mai stata scritta nel libretto originale dell'opera, il primo che d'istinto la fece fu Enrico Caruso.....mi pare!

[@mk5244]

...He sings about love that hurts, overwhelmingly and sometimes full of despair. MDM incorporated this role and spoke Millions of people right out of their hearts and souls. If those Millions needed a voice for their emotions, MDM had it. That is why this artist is still admired by the musical world, long after he went off the stage of life. Mi piace moltissimo

[@abbybambi578]

If Joker was an opera, Pagliacci is the best example! ❤

[@ValaCher]

[@duffman7793]

His acting and singing in this hall is ASTOUNDING. This hall sounds like a vacuum void where no sound may ever echo, so the fact that he’s able to reach the back row and evoke such a visceral reaction from the audience is the true definition of the word amazing.

i jst watched pavarottis version and its good but this guy puts soul into it!

[@victoriavictorortega5648]

Pavarotti sing it better but never such a great actor like del Monaco

[@Motiden]

@@victoriavictorortega5648 Mario Lanza is cooler

[@victoriavictorortega5648]

@@Motiden Pavarotti is better than him, Mario Lanza isnt even in the 20 best tenors of history according the BBC, Pavarotti is number 3 only before Placido Domingo and Caruso even though Placido Domingo is overrated

[@Motiden]

@@victoriavictorortega5648 Del Monaco didn't make that list either. Maybe the list itself is wrong...

[@stellaphantom366]

Pavarotti is technically the best tenor for me, but obviously technical skills aren’t everything. When it comes to opera plays like this, acting and emotion matters, too. Del Monaco’s acting was destined for Pagliacci. Pavarotti’s version was great and clean, but this one has more soul.

El mejor Canio con diferencia. Por timbre, legato, fiato e interpretación. Su voz atraviesa el corazón. ¡Bravo, Mario del Monaco, auténtico tenor dramático, grande entre los más grandes!

[@JRSoubasse]

Whew! That is phenomenal! Just what I expect from del Monaco. I imagine with his acting and that steel tenor voice, he probably actually scared his fellow cast members. Bravo

[@swj96]

beautiful voice. perfect acting...i dont say any words...just amazing!!!

[@giancarlobergamo2415]

La piu' grande interpretazione in assoluto!!!! Altri tenori cantano questo brano anche molto bene ma lo studio maniacale del personaggio di Canio trova solo in Mario del Monaco la sua trasposizione vocale e scenica. Emozione allo stato puro, ascoltando le sue intervista al giornalista Biagi e vedendolo sulla scena si puo' ragionevolmente credere che lui volesse morire in palcoscenico.Ha sacrificato tutta la sua vita in funzione della voce per poter dare al pubblico recite indimenticabili.

[@maurosmile741]

I have a list of five or six singers of the past I’d want to hear in performance. DelMonaco is assuredly on the list.

[@c.ostriker5572]

BRAVO 👏 👏 👏 👏. This dear ladies and gentlemen is The EPITOME Of Operatic excellence. Del Monaco embodies the incomparable technique that to this day no one has mastered and an acting prowess that Even the best of Method actors would smile at with sincere admiration. It's simply Astonishing that a human being can emit such a voluminous sound of sheer beauty, power and Majesty yet, Del Monaco does this with stunning effect. GOD JEHOVAH Made a wonderful creation in that voice and Del Monaco to his everlasting credit never abused that gift but rather honed it into pristine perfection. Simply STUPENDOUS ✨

[@levi99levi]

1. the maniacal laugh at :29 2. Emotional changes (especially 1:47-end) 3. "il cor" at the end. That timpani hit strikes his heart like an arrow...

ho gia commentato questo video, tutte le volte che lo guardo mi viene un nodo alla gola, credo che nel panorama mondiale dell'opera di ieri e di oggi non c'è stato ,non, c'è e non ci sarà mai piu una performance di questo livello, non ho avuto la fortuna di vederlo dal vivo ma mio padre si, mi raccontava che tutte le testimonianze lasciate sui dischi non sono che una piccolissima parte di quello che era il Grande Del Monaco dal vivo, ringrazio yotube e specialmente tutti coloro che condividono con noi persone appassionate e sconosciute questi documenti artistici di un uomo ed un artista irripetibile......e grazie a mio padre, che me l'ha fatto conoscere!

[@togasso]

anche mia madre era una grande appassionata di Del Monaco, dalle registrazioni si evince l'enorme energia e potenza, i microfoni dovevano stare a debita distanza! Anche qui, all'inizio canta da seduto, senza alcun problema, ed è subito vigorosa

[@maerskkintsugirinne3143]

Para mi Mario del Monaco es quien se lleva en primer lugar en cuanto a interpretación. Ese tal Pavarotti tiene fama, estos eran leyendas de la opera.

[@matthias4522]

Pavarotti también tiene sus obras, esta no es una de ellas, también pienso que MDM deja a muchos grandes mirando para arriba con esta interpretación, pero cada quién tiene lo suyo, Pavarotti es insuperable varias obras

[@juanclorduy9821]

Es cuestión de gustos. Pavarotti sabía frasear mucho mejor este aria. Y también matizaba. Del Monaco era muy ruidoso e histérico sl cantar. Su fraseo en este fragmento deja mucho que desear. Yo de esta época siempre prefiero a Bergonzi y Corelli. Me parecen mejores en todo. Incluso un tenor con agudos difíciles como Domingo era mucho más cálido y soberbio en la interpretación de este aria. Su voz era sensacional sí pero Del Monaco nunca conoció el pianísimo y eso fastidia escucharlo en forte todo el tiempo. Pavarotti y Domingo en sensibilidad, expresividad se llevan lejos a Del Monaco en este aria. Y no hay que demeritar a Pavarotti. Decía Karajan que sus cuerdas vocales eran tocadas por Dios. Y yo le creo. Fue el último de los grandes tenores italianos.

[@juanclorduy9821]

Y un cantante es más que voz y agudos. Tengo un Otello con Del Monaco y Tebaldi y en el lírico dúo de amor del acto 1 Del Monaco no canta nada amoroso. Se la pasa regañando a la pobre Tebaldi. En verdad su nivel para matizar era realmente pobre cosas que no tenian ni Bergonzi ni Corelli ni Pavarotti ni Domingo así no tivieran el portento de voz de Del Monaco. Repito, un cantante es más que voz y agudos histéricos

[@georgjasinski2928]

Mario del Monaco, für mich der absolute Ausnahmetenor. Diese Urgewalt seiner Sitmme ist für mich unerreicht. Ich empfinde Mario del Monaco als das Highlight,unter allen Tenören. Danke Mario.
