Rosa Ponselle who described Stracciari's voice as "a shower of diamonds". He made normal singers sound ordinary and his singing is superior to any baritone singing world wide today, His voice never leaks air, his pppp and his ffff are flawless. His decrescendos are perfect. His voice is about luminousity. Today baritones sing too dark and push air against the sound: not this man. He does not sing wooly. Only Mattia Battistini comes close to him technically, but then with only half the voice.
I remember discovering his voice as a child and reading that he had the most beautiful of all baritone voices, certainly you would have to search far today to find anyone with such a beautiful sound in the voice.

Can't stand singers with bleats instead of vibratos. If you want to hear one of the great early voices listen to Ellore Bastianni. I head him at La Scala before he got hired at the Met. He used to sing Tonio to my Silvio in Vienna under von Karajan.
Ettore Bastianini, not Ellore Bastianni. And while i'm a great Bastianini (and Merrill!) fan, Stracciari was considered by his peers to be one of the greatest of his time, alongside de Luca.
+Claude Heater Perhaps you are too familiar with the modern wobble to appreciate the true vibrato, which Stracciari possesses. A tremolo, sometimes referred to as the goat bleat, or caprino, is much quicker than this, & is a vocal affliction which prevents legato singing. Vibrato occurs in the voice between 5.2 & 7.2 pulses per second. Any slower than 5 pulses per second is always wobble, caused by overdriving the voice for volume. Any faster than 7 pulses per second is a tremolo, caused by unrelieved tension in the vocal cords caused by poor technique, an imbalance in the registers & a lack of functional freedom. While the wobble will still allow passable singing & relative control, at least until the over driving becomes chronic & the top notes begin to fail. The tremolo however, causes such impedance to functional freedom, that a professional career would be impossible. Those afflicted would rarely see the stage, & the handful that briefly made It have suffered very rapid disintegration of their voices before being forced to retire 30 years before their time. Pop singers often suffer from tremolo, because little is asked of their voices in terms of range & amplitude. Opera singers who suffer from this distressing affliction never leave the student stage. Tremolo is uneven in amplitude, & changes speed throughout a very curtailed range. It makes florid singing very difficult due to tension, & limits the amplitude of the voice by preventing functional freedom. Remember that the singers often accused of tremolo recorded on the acoustic recording process which was driven by clockwork, which often varied in speed. When played back at the assumed 78 rpm of the recorded speed, they are usually too fast & give the wrong timbre to the voice. Fernando De Lucia was often a victim of this incorrect play back speed. Once engineers learned that De Lucia often transposed, his voice lost its goat bleat & became sonorous & rich. It should have been obvious that he possessed a true vibrato, because his vocal control & florid singing were astonishing. A tremolo would have completely prevented that.

Stunning voice and compelling characterisation. Thank you for sharing.
Non ci sono parole,ma...Grazie Maestro Stracciari di poterti ascoltare.
Altri tempi altri gusti ma i fedeli ....esistono ancora.

Rimane sempre uno dei piu' grandi interpreti nel mondo Operistico. Grazie e saluti Gino
My dad loved him! Wow
Che voce! Una meraviglia
A shining example and reminder of what we are lacking today in the opera houses:
Real excitement and pure sentiment.
Stracciari is always thrilling!
The Golden Age, the best Rigoletto!

Good comment! Thanks!
Sensational voice.TY Edmund for sharing.
Captivating! Glorious voice!
sublime.
Signor bodiloto vorrei parlare con lei di tecnica,per me sarebbe un piacere enorme!.

One of the greatest singers of all time... Do we have many better baritones in history? - I think no. Underrated st7ff of legends...
Fabulous singing!
fantastic Rigoletto Riccardi Stracciari
Perfection absolue. Si les jeunes pouvaient écouter cela, et contruire leur technique dessus, il y aurait moins de catastrophes.
un gran señorío el de Stracciari para cantar.
BRAVISSIMO! UN GRANDE!
Grazie, amico! D'accordo!
@Kievest My pleasure! Thanks to both of you.
@EdmundStAustell -He sure had boundless energy. Lovely voice as well.
Doesn't get any better.
Listen to Paquale Amato 1911 recording.
@EdmundStAustell -I shall in future look for his videos with great anticipation.
Impresionante !!! Perfecta impostacion con la escuela antigua. Voz potende y redonda; agudos que parece un tenor dramático; graves limpidos. Parecido a La Voce del Leone. * * * * *.
Lo que Lauri Volpi era como tenor, Stracciari en su cuerda.
@paulostroff99 My pleasure, my friend. Thank you.
EIN LEGENDÄRER BARITON
@francesca7564 Merci beaucoup. Oui, certainement l'une des grandes voix du 20e siècle. Merci pour le commentaire!
Bien dicho! Es ciertamente possible!

@klokheten Very true, indeed! Thank you.
I am searching for the book about Stracciari’s singing technique. The French version is called: Chanter c’est facile avec la méthode de Stracciari. On Amazon it is announced out of print. Anybody out there know where I could find it?
It says it's in print again, but is it really written with any relation to Stracciari himself? It says it was published in 2012.
Bravo! non ce paroli di esprimare!

¿Es una grabación acústica de 1927? Raro. Porque no suena a eléctrica.
I think, both contemporaries Stracciari and Titta Ruffo were equal in their art. Stracciari was able to keep his vocal shape much longer.
Can't stand singers with bleats instead of vibratos. If you want to hear one of the great early voices listen to Ellore Bastianni. I head him at La Scala before he got hired at the Met. He used to sing Tonio to my Silvio in Vienna under von Karajan.

Are you sure its 1927? I think it maybe 25. Late acoustic.
