    Замечательное исполнение, очень четкое произношение текста арии, что не всегда соблюдают современные певцы, а верхние ноты звучат очень свободно и без напряжения. Великолепный Джильи!

      Well he is 46 years old here, but even at age 60 still sounded very good, but not quite this good! He lasted very well unlike some other Lyric tenors with shorter prime years then Gigli, like Tagliavini and Di Stefano. Bjoerling lasted well also, but he died relatively young, at age 49, so not a surprise that when he died he was still in great voice.

    BENIAMINO GIGLI
    Quando Beniamino Gigli, célebre tenor italiano, esteve na Igreja
    De Nossa Senhora da Glória, onde foi agraciado com um título
    Honorário da Irmandade, igual ao galo: pela manhã carcareja,
    Cantou as músicas que fizeram em sua vida um novo capítulo.
    Músicas sacras, no ambiente eletivo, lembradas em ladainha,
    Foram cantadas por Beniamino Gigli, acompanhado pelo coro
    Dirigido pelo maestro Jonas Travassos, com sinos e campainha,
    Refletindo dentro e fora da Igreja, ambientes de sacro decoro.
    Maestro Jonas Travassos, no restaurante Health´s, bem situado
    Na Rua Senador Dantas, em frente do Banco do Brasil, a sede
    da Academia de Letras, ambiente por nós muito bem honrado,
    Cantou, em voz suave, ária "Je crois entendre encore", da ópera
    "Os pescadores de pérolas", de Bizet, a música que não excede
    A beleza manifestada por Beniamino Gigli e que hoje prospera. (*)
    (*) FERNANDO PINHEIRO, presidente da Academia de Letras dos Funcionários do Banco do Brasil. - BENIAMINO GIGLI (poesia), de Fernando Pinheiro. - in O mundo de Morfeu, de Fernando Pinheiro.

      La primera vez que escuché a Gigli tenía 9 años. Iba caminando con mis padres por una galería comercial en Mar del Plata Buenos Aires Argentina. Mi emoción fue tal que lloré sin saber por qué. Después me enteré quién era este matavilloso tenor que resultó ser de la ciudad de mi familia Recanati Italia. Por él aprendí a amar la ópera. Gracias.

    Eine der besten Interpretationen der Partie, die die Faszination von Beniamino Gigli als Caruso-Nachfolger begreiflich macht. Zu dieser Überzeugung trägt der Umstand bei, dass Gigli auf larmoyante Schluchzer verzichtete, mit denen er sich später ins Abseits stellte. Großes darstellerisches Vermögen blieb im leider versagt. Aber seine Erinnerung als großer Sänger in seiner besten Form hat bleibenswerten Kunstgenuss. .

      1939 in NYC was the only time Gigli did not get rave reviews at the Met. in all I've seen in the archives, there in prime age, 49 they felt he was not spinto enough in the big house, similar at age 47 in 1958 in Chicago, but for Bjorling in the role, in that opera house, Tribune critic, Claudia Cassidy liked JB as her favorite tenor (she had said so) but said in her review-- it was dangerous for JB in that big house, JB sang it live in the USA only that time, in 3 performances .

I'd really have preferred seeing JB in a concert recital over opera, I think he had few in his time that could rival him in recital, with all he sang and that formal bearing of his. I've seen so many others in concert, but I missed him in concert recital, which actually JB himself preferred singing over opera.

      As a young tenor had a lyric voice, and with time developed a bigger, more powerful voice, becoming lirico-spinto. Just natural process of voice developing, if a singer knows how to sing. And Gigli did, better than anybody else.

A voz de Gigli era um misterio insondável, muito flexível com harmônicos que a aumentava de tal maneira que se tornava maior do que realmente era. Um registro do início de sua carreira, não recordo se de uma bancada de juri de um concurso, um dos juizes escreveu além dos atributos de beleza " voz pequena" referindo a Beniamino Gigli. Ele deveria ter vinte anos por aí.

      Well yes of course and for a basically lyric voice Gigli, when he sang it in 1939 at the Met at age 49 did not get his usually rave review , his voice was great, but they felt in that big house not best in that role. Jussi Bjoerling at age 47 in 1958 in Chicago also got a rather mediocre review also and from a great admirer critic of his, Claudia Cassidy in the TRIBUNE, it wasn't he did not sing well, he did, but in the dramatic parts she felt the voice not Spinto enough in the very big house, so the review was similar to GiglI's at a close age, 49 but in NY, also a very big house, but Gigli was not ever flamed for his sob, that never did bother me, I like him so much in all he does, but in other roles better then in Aida.
