I love Tito Gobbi. He seems so straightforward, at first, but he's actually really subtle, the way he changes the color of his vowels when he repeats a word or a phrase. He was great as DonG, but even better as the Count in Le nozze di Figaro. Audio only, alas: ua-cam.com/video/tl5TlMNaNDk/v-deo.html
I think part of this comes from the sound track being slightly sped up (from what I understand something they had to do for old movies, to match up the sound to the video?) it sounds higher to me than normal for Gobbi
This is a great find. If only the transfer speed was corrected so we could really hear them sing this in the original key of D minor, it would've been perfect.
I am currently making some preparations to work on an animation project for Don Giovanni's penultimate scene. It's always great to find new references and inspirations!
Even better you can download the film with this link: ua-cam.com/users/redirect?v=5uyfHtBRyJQ&redir_token=9nCtnb9yPPllA0Zajep6kDkxhDV8MTU5MDY5MzU2MkAxNTkwNjA3MTYy&html_redirect=1&event=video_description&q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.filefactory.com%2Ffile%2F3ruya7li9uwp%2FEldfageln.1952.Gobbi.Gedda.mp4 Dont worry it’s not a virus. Thanks!

Tito Gobbi should not have touched this role. This role is for strong bass, not for a light baritone. Gobbi is an actor, but his voice is not for everything. Sorry! I have many strong basses in this role and Gobbi is nothing in comparison. See Mozart's partitura; he says, the role is for bass.

La dimostrazione che Gobbi se voleva sapeva cantare ! incredibile
1949? Wow!! What a rare treat!! Thank you so much!!
Your welcome!
Never heard him as Don Giovanni, not even mentioning seeing him! Amazing find!
At times a very open sound...so natural...even sounded tenor like.

This is a super rare find. Never knew this existed, although I struggle to find everything available by the Maestro on DVD.
Great @OldSchoolOpera

Thank you for uploading this video. It is a treat to see Gobbi as Don Giovanni. Is this from a film where Gobbi starred?
Ray Bercse yes it is!
If you want the full film I can give it to you :)
Thank you so much. I truly appreciate it.
Ray Bercse do you have an email by any chance that I could send it to?
Barone Vitellio Scarpia definitely! I’m doing that now!
Люблю во віки віків.
What a gem! Where did you find it and does a full recording exist? Exceptional audio and picture quality given the time this was produced!!
It’s actually from a film that Gobbi was in! I can send the full film to you if you gave me your email :)
