Bonisolli and Marton are absolutely stunning in their finale to Giordano's ANDREA CHENIER as the poet Chénier (he lived at the time of the Trench Revolution) and his beloved MADDALENA de Coigny sing of their love and impending death at the end of the opera as both go to the guillotine knowing they will never be separated because of their love. The musicality is tremendous, they both reach their extraordinary high notes and sing dreamatically as if on the opera stage. It is one of the great finales in all of Opera. It is Umberto Giordano's masterpiece. It truly is a very sad fact that tenor FRANCO BONISOLLI who was so great never got the true regognition he deserved because he was singing at a time when Franco Corelli was still on the scene as was Carlo Bergonzi and then Placido Domingo and Pavarotti not to mention other tenors like José Carreras, Giuseppe Giacomini, Carlo Cossuta and many more. He was one of the top tenors of his day and yet hardly anyone mentions him today in 2023. It's a real shame and tragedy that this has occurred.

How wonderful to have him in this duet! As I've stated before, I will always be grateful for the opportunity to hear him in person in Il Trovatore at the Met in 1990. He sang like a god! Thank you so much for posting this!!
Best interpretation I've heard of this wondrous duet, by two of the greatest singers to honor us with their singing, their passion, their musicality and love.
Bonisolli's performance of Chenier before facing the execution is quite impressive. I could feel the adrenalin of fragile emotions delivered with huge voices of both accepting honorable death.
La maravillosa Eva Marton con Franco Bonissolli. Magníficos ambos. La Marton la voz más grande después de la Nilson. Gran soprano húngara. Extraordinaria siempre, Diva entre divas...!!!!!!
Due grandi voci. Curiosa a 6:41 l'espressione tra il sorpreso ed il costernato che appare sul viso della Marton quando si rende conto che sul "son io" non le è uscita la voce.. e sugli applausi finali ancora sta pensando al minuscolo incidente e cerca conforto da Bonisolli e dal direttore. Perfezionismo!
Both caught at the height of the powers. Thank you for posting this. I will say that Marton sings gloriously here but looks nervous - and I suspect that it had to be unsettling to sing with Bonisolli, who could be so unpredictable. But that being said, it's a tremendous performance from both of them- and that last "insiem" might be the best I've ever heard.
Friends...., this was not a duel, this was concertant, both were very concntrated and their singing was fantastic - not? Mansouri...interesting? Polemic, tales. Why do they still ignore the truth after such a long time? Look at details - How Franco held Evas arm while singing, only a detail but it shows true emotions.Dont need to write bad about Franco - write postive about the ones you prefer - these industrial getlemen.
Él no está del todo cómodo al principio, pero no con ella sino con su garganta. Con el recurso de cogerle los brazos consiguen una prodigiosa simultaneidad que solo se rompe en el último agudo, en que uno de los dos se despistó momentáneamente. Grndisimos profesionales.
PERSONALITY plays a big part in artistic collaboration. To my eye and ear , they respected each other,but he was competing to make sure she did not outshine him. Notice he hit the last MUTUAL high note before her to grab the ear of the AUDIENCE. Maria callas did the same to Del MONACO in norma. Betty Hutton was disliked by Howard Keel and other cast members for allegedly attempting to steal scenes. BALANCE of self interest with group interests appears to be a major challenge in all human endeavors. IAN KAYE
Sure he was nuts! But the man could sing! He was just unlucky to get a bad reputation and not be the darling of the record company promotion machines like Domingo, Pav and Jose were.
Kagami101 , I wonder if one of your very close family was so called nuts. Yes, he was a character at times, many think because he knew he had a Great voice and just went with it. His early years, he was quite serious. It has been written, that a brain tumor at times cause he bizarre behavior, since he died young from brain cancer.
i tell you he was not easy to work witht my fathr lamerto gardelli cunductet traviat with mirella freni on a record in 1973 and did also live performans in covert garden and it was always problem with him ,, but a great voice, one of the best
+David Gardelli Not only your father had problems with him - I even saw Karajan come to grief with him :). Your father was much admired and an extremely elegant conductor! Marton is put off by something @ 4:12 and misses the beat. She is so pissed - one could always read her eyes: looking very apologetic at Maestro during the applause.
Bonisolli took no B.S from any conductor and Von Karajan was notorious for making Tenors suffer , he hated tenors. I was in the chorus for a Trovatore rehearsal with Bonisolli and Karajan was taking the tempo at a ridiculous pace which no tenor could take so Bonisolli mentioned to him to slow down upon which Karajan went even faster and that's when Franco blew his top at Karajan called him a Bastardo and promptly threw his sword into the orchestra pit and stormed off stage. Of Course this is what Karajan wanted and had Franco fired and Domingo took his place upon which i quit .They didn't miss me one bit but replacing Franco with Domingo hurt the whole production and to boot Domingo got the last laugh on Karajan because he had him transpose the main aria down a whole tone because he couldn't hit the High C or even a B .
@@Etnalleb woooooowwww, thanks sooo much, my FRIEND!!! I even did a presentation in conservatory about Franco and mentioned the fact with Karajan, but never knew the details!! So interesting to know!!! Thanks a million!!
@@andymanland She does overpower his voice here at times. Listen to the version with Corelli and Tebaldi there you will hear how a tenor overpowers the soprano.
@@andymanland It was no offence meant against Bonisolli, he was truly great in this duet. Vocally I think they were very well matched in here, and both did a splendid job. But for whatever reason they are very awkward to look at, they don't have chemistry. But luckily the singing is far more important then the stage presence, so this is an excellent version of Vicino A Te. You certainly would not hear anything close to this great singing today.
Me agradaría escuchar concierto n5 de Chopen Mozart y el gran José Mojica que luego fue sacerdote justamente el Ave María lo interpreta como los dioses
_They both look very uncomfortable singing this music. IMO_ _Singers have a responsibility to protect their voices from wear-&-tear. Nature gives gifts, sometimes, randomly w / o evaluating the person ( s ) gifted._ _Franco had a chiseled voice AND he wanted more :: heavier & heavier roles until we see him appearing to strain when singing. It's not how divine inspiration is suppose to end._ _What a tenor !_
Show me how he has strained his voice? He had a technique close to perfection, sang many different roles for more than 40 years and never had a problem with his voice. So your comment has no arguments.
@@cliffgaither Well, it's about choice. I loved his voice when he was young and love it when he was older. It was about whether he ruined his voice (or as you called strained) and he didn't in either case. If he did, he wouldn't be able to sing almost up until his death of 65. And keep it as strong and fresh.
@@andymanland :: Ok ! I know how it is in Opera w / the fans & their favorite singers. It's sometimes difficult to be critical of a singer in the presence of a fan & a fan can stand & defend a singer. You're right ! It's about choice. Franco Bonisolli has given you many, many hours of listening to his magnificent voice. I have to respect that as a fan of this music. but ... I heard F.B. sing The Duke ! It was one of the first times I really listened to him & I was mesmerized by the super-quality of his singing ; so-much-so, his voice made me question F.C. for a few moments. The fact that he made me question my favorite tenor of all time, was an example of his vocal gifts ; unfortunately, I'm almost parasitic when it comes to singers & expect them to always mesmerize w / their singing. It is / was a bad trap some of us fall into so willingly ... Franco Bonisolli's voice was a great contribution of beauty to this long, long history of vocal wonders. I let him spoil me, even against himself. As a mutual fan of this music & its singers, I offer to you my apologies for doubting your discerning Bonisolli ear ! and ... I will delete my arrogant comment about casting doubt on _your_ ability to still remember the greatness of that man's voice !
renato bonisolli Non se la prenda... siamo immersi nei fini conoscitori della lirica. La Marton é stata un soprano valido e buono per tutte le stagioni, nulla più. Franco era altro, con buona pace di tutti.
Less like a love duet when they sing it, more like a duel. She has the edge in vocal cream and musical suitability; he's somewhat strained. Odd how they don't even really look at each other. She attempts to interact with him but he's totally focused on the auditorium. I guess acting wasn't really his thing. He's always struck me as a macho rooster on the stage. There's a school of Italian tenors who are totally self-absorbed and obsessed with high notes. Less about art, more about ego.
I don't think so. Watch any live operas with him. His acting is amazing. He was fierce and didn't care what anyone thought and sometimes seemed arrogant. But nonetheless he was great!!

The last generation of great singers and grand singing. Bravi!
Many times overlooked, Bonisolli was a very fine singer and tenor.
This great aria is one that requires both singers to pull out all the stops, leaving nothing left both vocally and emotionally. THEY DELIVER!!!
Meravigliosi !
Che Meraviglia !
Divini entrambi.

Chemistry, emotion, voice, artistry...they both had ALL that night. This live version ranks among the best ever of that immortal duet.

Que espetáculo! Vozes que não se escutam mais nos palcos. Bonissoli elevou o nível do Chenier!!
Esto es de otro nivel 😍 bravissimos, que grande Eva, que duo tan fantastico
Who today can sing that like these two?! And DO NOT say Kaufmann!
I agree, Kaufman is a fine tenor but not quite in this league
Best interpretation I've heard of this wondrous duet, by two of the greatest singers to honor us with their singing, their passion, their musicality and love.

Real dramatic tenor! Great voice and singing
No, this is lyric spinto. It is a lyrical voice.
@@ZENOBlAmusiccorrect. Bonisolli sang many large roles but was not a dramatic tenor by any stretch. Heard him once in Tosca and was enthralled!
