Gigli - Pearlfishers - Nadir's aria



Uploaded by: merrihew
Video Description:
Another specific Gigli request. Beniamino Gigli singing Mi Par D'Udir Ancora from Act 1 of Bizet's Pearlfishers, recorded for HMV in 1931. Interesting to compare with the Tino Rossi version I posted previously. Totally different. I'm not going to offer an opinion other than to say that it is beautiful singing

Well, I suppose you can just google to find out, though I have seen it in London recently. But no, it may not be performed like Bizets Carmen, for example.

Thanks a lot Merrihew for posting this treasure. The more we argue about tenors the more we disagree. But I think that there should be consensus that Gigli had the greatest Mezzo voice ever.

I don't disagree. My only problem is the fairly early onset of sloppiness in his technique. Not a problem with some material, but check out his Il Mio Tesoro which I will post as a request. Its the worst version I've ever heard.

Not only Gigli but also Schipa made a hash of Il mio tesoro. McCormack (for sheer vocal perfection) and Tauber (for characterisation) are the ones to have!

As smooth as it gets. Every young student who wants to learn to sing tenor should be made to listen to this---multiple times. If a young person sings this way, the voice will grown on its own, and it will remain always healty. This is arguably the most beautiful tenor voice of all time.
