Thank you so much for this !!! How wonderful to see AND HEAR live performances !!! So BEAUTIFULLY and tenderly sung by Scotto !!! The thick orchestration of Puccini covers her voice in the lower register...but no matter what...a gorgeous performance...and the high C gallo at the end of the duet was very well covered up with acting !!! He was lovely too.
questo tenore è Giacomini non Giuliano Ciannella. Giuliano aveva una voce ben diversa che io , sua compagna di studi al Conservatorio di Bologna, rammento nei minimi particolari.
Una favola,la Scotto e' stata ancora una volta favolosa,senza quegli stridori nelle note alte che la caratterizzavano quando tendeva a forzare troppo,con la voce perfettamente poggiata sui fiati...un brivido.
She sang Lucia di Lammermoor, Sonnambula & Gilda in Rigoletto, which means that she's a light lyric soprano to start with. Freni never sang either Lucia or Gilda. But Scotto managed/dared to sing this heavy role of Butterfly, which is kind of crazy.... ONLY SCOTTO can do such a vocal acrobats!!! Besides, being such a romantic, sensitive & naive Japanese adolescent (Cio-cio san was 15, in this scene and commits suicide at 18 or 19 max...) so naturally and convincingly is simply grandiose.
Ici, Scotto est encore en meilleure forme qu'avec les "live" aux côtés de José Carreras. Superbement chanté ce magnifique duo à donner (et qui donne ici) la chair de poule. Ciannella lui aussi en grande forme, un ténor hélas sous-estimé et parti trop tôt.
It's so annoying that Scotto spoiled an otherwise strong performance (at least for me) by her constant insistence on always singing straight to the audience. It's a love duet and hardly even glances at Ciannella who is forced to turn his head to look at her. Her last note however wobbles badly.

This is a Met live performance...not a telecast from 8 April 1978 definitely Giacomini not Cianella..I managed both so I know Giacomini's voice here

Oh melodioso, davvero straordinaria il canto

This is not Ciannella, it is Giuseppe Giacomoni!!!

Fascinating to SEE Giacomini taking on this role.
Giacomini...
Magnificent bravissimi

WWWOOOWWW!!!
its giacomini ...
E' Giacomini, non Ciannella
Scotto as always, Superb!
Are you sure this is Ciannella? ... looks and sounds like Giacomini to me!
It is Giacomini
Scotto is a genius, and Uncle Louis a Jewish Saint.
Not Ciannella
MA LA STECCA DEL TENORE SUL FINALE? HAHAHAHAH
Where can I get a copy of this?!?
Do you know when and where?
Paris, I think
E Giuliano Ciannella
che canta,non Giacomini
Grandi tenori ambidue
Grazie Giuliano
Mi scusi, ho cantato con Giuseppe e Giuliano, e ti assicuro che questo e Giuseppe. Vero, pero, che si assomigliano tanto in questo video non chiaro.
@@wallynegrini7466 Ti credo!
