Tito Gobbi - Pagliacci - Si puo?

[@MLewis6270]

I have watched this any number of times. What an extraordinary, unusual performance. Regardless of any criticism of this voice, Gobbi is always a storyteller. The inflection of his voice, its different effects are serving the story he is telling us. Wonderful stuff. So glad we have it on film to enjoy even after the Maestro himself is not longer with us.

[@rosemaryallen2128]

There is a universality about this great rendition which makes it deeply moving. We are indeed all actors moving as decently as possible through society, while concealing passions and dreams reflected only in the universal language of art.

[@amantedellopera1681]

Once again its not so much about the voice but what he does with it,here he tells a story,his acting is first rate,his singing is magnificent

[@acadela3506]

but the voice itself is beautiful

[@rodolfolomelig8349]

It's an ugly voice which sounds beautifully colored by an infinite number of vocal inflections that allow the entirity of the piece shime brighter that with any more beautiful sounding voice.

[@johncannell4307]

Brilliant. What a wonderful voice. I know he's a baritone, but does anyone else remember 65 years ago when he sung Vesti la Giubba on Eric Robinson's Music for You programme, on the BBC? His acting, as well as his singing, was superb. My brother remembers it too.

We don't hear this kind of "singing" today. This was when people did not try to sound "Operatic," but instead sang with a wonderful open and relaxed throat. The result is a beatiful ringing voice, no matter what voice type you were.

what an absolutely captivating performance. Some people say that gobbi didn't heve the most beautiful of baritone voices, but what he lacked, if anything, vocally, he more than made-up for with charisma, style and drama.

this is the best --and most verismo version--ive EVER heard OR seen! Free of the opera houses big stage--he was born to sing and act Verdi as we found out in his Rigoletto later and so many others even tho he gave his voice away eventually as did Ruffo and so many others. It is bizarre but wonderful--a real revelation ! I only wish my teacher/coach Enzo DellOrefice who played for Caruso & Ruffo could have seen this & we could have HIS comments--i have seen this opera with Tibbet Merril MacNeill and Warren live on the stage of the Met--and sang in the chorus there 50 yrs ago--NO comparison!

[@45oldbear]

His ability to sing bel canto high in the giro, with his vowel sound always spinning, never pushed, is amazing. And that he can alter the tembre freely as he word paints the part is unparalelled in any recording I have heard, although Callas's musicianship allowed her to display much similar effect, not that I have listened as much as some of you.

what a voice.......simply the best

[@brunaazzurra]

questa registrazione dice quanta espressività fuoriusciva dalla voce, viso e corpo di Gobbi..e da essa non si può che avere ulteriore conferma di quanto siano sempre chiarissime le sue parole!! egli si anima in maniera travolgente quando dice "vedrete dell'odio i tristi frutti --(e ancor più) -- del dolor gli spasimi .( fino a " e risa ciniche" )...........queste frasi sono molto sentite da questo artista e riescono a coinvolgere in maniera magica e totalmente. peccato che la registrazione sia rovinata proprio quando conclude la frase " al pari di VOI" in acuto. nelle sillabe ".vo-i Gobbi era allora assai giovane, mentre dopo diversi anni dall'inizio della sua sfolgorante carriera , ha sempre mostrato di avere difficoltà in acuto , acuti che sovente risultavano un po "fissi" e incerti. questo fatto non ha però, e giustamente, mai compromesso la grandezza del suo nome , egli è uno dei nostri baritoni più rappresentativi per la sua completezza nel cantare e nell'interpretare

[@andreasbertolini9899]

Ich habe eine DVD von einer Londoner TOSCA mit Angela Gheorgiu als Tosca,Jonas Kaufmann als Cavaradossi, und eben mit Bryn Terfel als Scarpia aus dem Jahre 2012,und schon bei dieser Aufnahme gefiel mir an ihm seine unvergleichliche Mimik beim Singen. Damals war sie sogar noch stärker ausgeprägt als in dieser Aufnahme,und damals sah er mit seinen schulterlangen Haaren,und seinem Verziehen des Mundes noch richtig furchterregend aus. Aber auch in dieser Aufnahme ist er sehr gut. Ich selbst habe ihn einmal in einer TOSCA in der Wiener Staatsoper gesehen,und da wirkte er äußerlich vergleichsweise bieder. So oder so,er ist ein phantastischer Sänger. ANDREAS BERTOLINI, BLUDENZ.

@@commandert5 I agree, I love Gobbi! But this singing was discussed by period critics as more influenced by the sweet emotional singing if Gigli, than by the last of the Bel Canto singers. Compare this to the massive ringing sound of Mattia Battistini singing this aria, considered the last great Bel Canto baritone by period critics.
