Sempre gostei de Del Monaco e amo sua interpretação de Calaf em Turandot, mas hoje meu Professor Olavo de Carvalho induziu-me a procurar e assistir este impressionante vídeo do grande tenor! A modéstia contrastando com seu poder vocal!
Grandisimo arte dal' Mario Del Monaco.Una voce bella,piena anche squilante!!!, il mio zio (morto in 1989) mi hanno detto che la voce de Del Monaco vibraba piu forte in il loggione da tutti gli teatri che cantaba.Bravo Del Monaco, per sempre il nostro "idol"!!!!
Amazing! He could go from his speaking voice to singing high and forte with total ease. It's really a miracle that he could sing with such power so easily. Great natural ability and lots of training. Simply one of a kind.
tenor dramatic,mario's moncao was the best dramatic tenor of modern history, with his death left an empty place under complete voice and unique personality and charisma, today there is no one in the world as the voice of the dramatic
Del Monaco had two dynamics - forte and fortissimo. The instrument, as pure muscle, was superior in every respect. That said, I'm sure no one would ever crown him the most nuanced or subtle of all tenors. But dear heaven what a set of pipes...
@OscarLevant1 E vero la dimenzione non è tutto...ma se non si è completi tecnicamente,la dimenzione della voce non serve a niente...tecnica,musicalità,dimensione drammatica,interpretazione,padronanza scenica, comunicativa con il pubblico...ecc, il grande artista deve avere queste cose essenziali,per essere veramente grande...mi spiace per lei, ma Del Monaco aveva tutte queste cose...insieme a tanti altri grandi...saluti
I love Corelli too, but find this impression of your teacher hard to believe. Several of my teachers heard or knew Flagstad and I have listened to their descriptions of the "black velvet" or being enveloped in a great resounding bell or encompassed by an unimagineable sound - that have mainly made me sorry to be born too late to experience this! Thank God for recordings, even if we must complement what we miss with our imagination. And hope for a new generation of singers ...
@@fabriziomariagarzi5534 Molla il fiasco. Tu sei abituato ad ascoltare i beoni delle osterie che frequenti, ma questo e' MARIO DEL MONACO. Porta rispetto!!
Он премного величественнее всех последующих... "трио бельканто". Уникально! Ура! Спасибо, что ты был... и остаёшься в нашей памяти величайшим ТЕНОРОМ мира!
@bigus Although I stated my favorites, I do appreciate Pavarotti. I think he was the last link to the yesteryear tenors whom were so great.I feel Pavarotti also helped make opera more popular and fun for the average person.Pavarotti was very humble&complimentary when speaking of other artists like Tucker Bjorling Bocelli & even pop singers.Not only was Pavarotti a great tenor,but he also had a surprizing charisma that capivated both opera&pop audiences throughout the world.Enjoy
@bigus I never really considered Tucker's voice "ugly". It is well produced, his diction is great and he rarely ever pushed it beyond what it could do. No, it did not have the "honey" to it that Bjorling or Gigli had but then again they were very rare animals indeed.
@RichieLeone You are totally correct! In Otello and elsewhere he COULD (at times) show that he had piano and even softer. What a pity (as you suggest) that he did not use his brain too often - certainly in concerts! I saw him live many times and the "set of pipes" made one forget; it is just that when one heard him live you could be drunk with the sheer volume and presence. And it made one think everything was possible, that life was sheer visceral passion - wrong of course...
He was 50 by the time. Voice is so large that´s surprising that he can hit the high notes! Del Monaco was himself! That roaring voice! Technique? I don´t know. He used to complain of sore throat after performances...
Solo Mario del Monaco ha cantato e canta la canzone classica napoletana,le classiche italiane e straniere e le più belle pagine della lirica. Tutti gli altri cantanti anche bravissimi non arrivano alle vette eccelse della voce di Mario del Monaco. Scusatemi se sono stato così perentorio, è quello che penso, ma può essere anche errato del tutto,o in parte.
@OscarLevant1 That is your opinion and the opinion of J.Hines. I never heard MDM in person so i can't make a truly accurate assessment of his voice because recordings can be altered in so many ways. I did hear McCracken, and Vickers, Tucker , King, Bonisolli and Thomas and my ears told me McCracken had the biggest tenor voice i've ever heard , he sounded like a pushed up baritone which he probably was. Let's respect each others Opinion. TY
I love Pavarotti and we sure miss him,but del Monaco remains the most glorious voice and so passionate, full throarted ,exciting singing.Corelli used to say to me that he was in awe of the great Mario. He liked Pavarotti but thought that Domingo was incredibly overrated and not a worthy heir to himself and del Monaco in the spinto roles.
@mfrances0503 And that goes for me too! I will keep saying it, though I never heard him live, and I will say it over and over again until the last day of my life.
Del Monaco was bigger than life! I know, I was paid $1 as a super to carry a banner across the stage in Pagliacci with Del Monaco as Canio. I love Björling. I love Del Monaco because he loved Björling, once called him "Il Commendatore." And, perhaps most of all, I love Del Monaco because of the love and joy with which he sang. It was out there! is this not what is meant by "dramatic tenor"? I'm not up to speed on these classifications, but if this is not dramatic tenor, what is?!!
@bigus I kind of agree with your statement, but it's important to note that many tenors have stated or intimated that Caruso was the greatest tenor ever.Caruso was also the stepping stone & foundation for all tenors that followed him because of his original interpretations,legato,range,size&beauty of voice etc.My favorites are Del Monaco,Corelli,Di Stefano,Volpi&Lanza depending ofcourse on what they are singing.I do listen&enjoythem more than Caruso& it's possibly because of inferior recording
@VivaRenata We all have our opinion's but during the 1950's the OTHER MARIO was World renowned as being the greatest singer in the World. As far as being the greatest recorded tenor that's very debatable. Corelli, Bonisolli, Caruso, Bjorling and the list go's on Tucker, Di Stefano etc..FYI Corelli was voted Tenor of the Century
@Etnalleb I am sorry to disagree with you..from experience. MDM's voice was much bigger than the people you mentioned. About Caruso? His was the most beautiful. I sang with McCracken and he was not as big at Vickers by a long shot. My mentor was Jerome Hines and he said that MDM had the biggest voice by far that anybody had ever heard. But size is not everything. :)
Voice lesson! Look at the inside of the mouth, the position of the tongue in relation to different vowels and the complete relaxation of the jaw. That's all you need to know. A perfect technique - but to achieve what MDM did you also need musical sensibility, talent, and amazing vocal cords. The greatest of all recorded tenors!
i have to agree size is not everything, i prefer beauty of tone and the other musical aspects like phrasing, legato etc. which is why i prefer pavarotti to all others as he is superior in these other aspects imo than pretty much anyone else. however beauty of tone is in the ear of the listener. no one can tell me caruso had a better voice or more beautiful sound than pavarotti did because #1 you cannot tell from the recordings and recordings are all we have now days.
@bigus Tucker had a great voice but he lacked the Bravado both in statue and in vocal dynamic's compared to both Corelli and MDM, Peerce and Schimdt shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as Corelli and MDM. Agreed with you on that Bigus.
+roxalys mendez Comw one...Roxy .... this was a superbombastic performance! ! I love Lanzas beautifull voice but this time the Might and perrfection of Monaco wins the day.
@sugarbist i agree, most famous tenors of the past have excelled at one thing or another and have perhaps superior interpretations of roles than this or that other tenor. for instance i would rather listen to wunderlich sing mozart or lieder or other pieces where his voice is easiest because its beauty. or corelli for certain larger works etc. and various other tenors for their strengths but the reason i drone on and on about pav. is because to my ear he is superior overall in most cases, etc.
@RichieLeone With all due respect, I disagree. Mario was not the most subtle tenor, for sure, but neither was he entirely lacking in subtlety. Both on the stage and on in the studio he could and often did sing way below forte. Besides, there is a good deal of repertoire (Canio, Turidu, Chenier, Otello, Manrico, Alvaro, Radames, even Cavaradossi) where passion is more than adequate substitue for a certain lack of subtlety.
@Etnalleb agreed and even tho corelli isn't my absolute favorite, there were plenty of good reasons to vote him tenor of the century so i won't complain. if it was Tucker or schmidt or peerce i would have complained LOL.

sempre detestato del Monaco, ma questo, devo ammetterlo, e' l'unico O sole mio che mi fa venire i brividi....
Mario Del Monaco... Vocalmente una bestia de naturaleza!
What a glorious document of an immortal singer!
Neapolitan singing as it should be: without limits.
Maravilhoso!!!!

Una pena.

sopra a tutti!!!
La voce di Dio...Ma c'è stato e mai più ci sarà un tenore come Mario Del Monaco
purtroppo si!! si incontrano intenditori di musica al rovescio che tentano di sminuirlo!!! ma lui è stato il più grande.
Si,si...ma espressione assai poca. Voce e basta. Per cantare le canzoni napoletane ci vuole cuore, anima..qua' non c'e'.

Insuperale!!!
we need a renaissance in the opera world... now! bring back the bel canto way of singing now!!

Full control of breath
Nem precisa dizer que vim pelo Olavo, né? Obrigado, mestre! Mario del Monaco é sensacional, performace emocionante.

No, the 2nd song is O sole mio, whats the 1st, the one with which he begins?

He liked Pavarotti but thought that Domingo was incredibly overrated and not a worthy heir to himself and del Monaco in the spinto roles.
If somebody showed up the current opera scene with his looks and voice they could make an obscene amount of money.
Can anyone tells me whats the name of the song with which he begins and end at 2:37? I've heard it quite a few times on tv but never caught the title.
What a voice! many thanks.
It's "'o paese d'u sole" or something like that. "The land of sun"
@mfrances0503 And that goes for me too! I will keep saying it, though I never heard him live, and I will say it over and over again until the last day of my life.
Whats's the name of thins song?
OMG WOW AWESOME!!!!! Whats the name of the 1st song? Rest in peace Great Tenor!!!
