Ever since I first heard his sensational voice, I cannot fathom why baritones with half his voice enjoyed greater careers. Top to bottom he had perhaps the most gorgeous baritone sound ever, he always sang beautifully (if not at Gobbi-Tibbett levels) and with remarkable ease, and had incredible longevity. And as you can see on the videos, he was also rather handsome and a pretty good actor to boot. So precisely what flaw caused 99% of opera fans to leave him out of the all-time baritone list?
because over that golden era, people are spoiled so much, they only go after those big names...if today, he be all sold out baritone all over the world, no doubt!!!
I fell in love with his voice when I was 10, listening to his Ford in Karajan's first recording. Actually, if you look at his discography and engagements, he had a very successful career. What's odd is that today's generation has never heard of him. Same with Taddei.
He was greatly celebrated in Italy. He was the most frequently recorded baritone with Maria Callas. I don't know where those who hadn't heard of him lived? Often Americans only knew singers who sang at the Met. I lived in New Zealand and was an avid reader of the famous English 'Gramophone' magazine. He was celebrated in its pages by some of the most learned and discriminating music critics.He was considered a rival to Tito Gobbi.
The soprano’s (I presume) acting is straight out of thev19th c. However it’s Panerai’s voice we are here for and what a voice. The art of opera singing is virtually lost, the human voice hasn’t changed so it must be the teaching that has become deficient.
He was a fine artist, he had a wonderful and extended voice, he was a good actor and, in fact, he ended up his career in opera as director. You should listen to a short abstract of a lesson he gave to a Korean bass where he is imitating Boris Christoff, unforgettable Panerai...
Beautiful! How lucky we are to have had him--and for so long! His singing of "dolcezze perdute" rekindles memories of such loss of love for me--and probably for many others. To think that he began his career in 1946, was still singing in 2011, and only died in 2019!
Fabrizio Oppo non puoi insegnare mai à nessuno quello che senti tu e come lo senti, e' un fatto. questo si chiama Talento Vero con il quale nasci e muori . e' così semplice . perché la vera arte lirica e' morta ? quando ero giovane quest'arte meravigliosa la interpretavano i Dei . oggi la stessa arte la stanno cantonando le mummie e i mortali ...
A great and somewhat underrated baritone, a memorable Silvio in the DG set of Pagliacci conducted by Karajan, where he is partnered by Bergonzi, Taddei and Carlyle.
A very overlooked baritone, IMO. I've been aware of his existence for some time but never made it a point to listen to him, assuming that he wasn't super-famous for a reason. But after hearing him sing one of the finest Germonts (Traviata) I've heard, I had to hear more.
very under rated baritone, a fine voice from top to bottom,great tone, warm and marvelous projection for a man with not a huge voice, looks great,acts great too, wish we had a few more like him today.But hold on what we have arent allowed to act or sing the way they should and idiotic directors with awful stage settings .having recently seen boheme in dublin with the wonderful celine byrne i came away wishing i had left at the interval and it had nothing to do with the singing
This disappointed fan will only represent a TINY percentage of the millions that have access to microphoned or studio recorded opera at home. So nobody will ever believe them if they say that certain "great" singers of present time suck really in the theatre. Because simply the theatre is no longer the home for opera (proof are the worldwide broadcasted performances of The Met and others, etc). Present home for opera is your sofa and from the sofa you vote!
Ecco uno di quei baritoni che seppur a parità per esempio di Tito gobbi e di Bastianini manca quell'aggancio, in altre parole se paragoniamo per esempio rigoletto, gobbi e' un altro pianeta, ma se paragoniamo il ballo in maschera, panerai e' superiore ma di gran lunga, vuoi I costumi, vuoi le scene e perché no anche il tipo di uomo, di personaggio che fa' la differenza. Bastianini come baritono secondo un mio pensiero lo metti un po ' ovunque, dalla forza del destino, dalla Carmen, dal trovatore etc.... Ci sono baritoni invece dove e' difficile collocarli in un personaggio senza che stonino
The same "flaw" that keeps baritones with big voices singing in the (unfortunately) dying Italian school off stages worldwide, even in Italy. Not many people ("opera fans") that vote have ever been to a theatre to hear what a voice sounds like live. They vote based on what they have heard at home, or what they have been fed by studio recordings/the radio/TV. Musical taste is thus conditioned in masses. Who cares if one goes to the theatre and doesn't hear voices pass over the orchestra pit?
I once had the privilege of singing with him. The highlight of my short singing career.

sadly I have not heard of him til today!
@silverbud True. Yet it still puzzles me how more people did not fall in love with such a gorgeous voice and such fine singing.

Much better than Gobbu

Великолепен,безупречен,проникновенный артист. Спасибо. ❤❤❤

What lessons, could You provide a link?

@@TheKaimakan Thanks for the info :)
THE baritone. There’s magic in his sound.
Bella voz de baritono. Contiene un misterio que atrapa. Además un gran interprete, un gran artista!!
GRANDE! GRANDE! GRANDE!
They all had voices in those days, now making noice without any sound!
RIP RP, 23. Oct 2019 Thank You !!! :(
Have always liked this baritone after hearing him on Callas albums .
grande artista grande cuore grande voce...grande

Meravigliosa lezione di canto. Il legato è impareggiabile, l'emissione perfetta, sul labbro. Vero incanto. Ma chi ha imparato, oggi, questa lezione?
per quante lezioni tu possa dare a un asino non diventera mai un RIBOT.La mareria prima o c'e o non c'e,e un dono di Dio
Fabrizio Oppo
non puoi insegnare mai à nessuno quello che senti tu e come lo senti, e' un fatto.
questo si chiama Talento Vero con il quale nasci e muori .
e' così semplice .
perché la vera arte lirica e' morta ?
quando ero giovane quest'arte meravigliosa la interpretavano i Dei .
oggi la stessa arte la stanno cantonando le mummie e i mortali ...
Merci pour tout, merveilleux artiste !
Great performance, grandest, Bravo!!!
Uno de los grandes!!!!
sublime. thank u mr Panerai.
A great and somewhat underrated baritone, a memorable Silvio in the DG set of Pagliacci conducted by Karajan, where he is partnered by Bergonzi, Taddei and Carlyle.

Superb, singing and performing...

Who played Amelia? She looked beautiful.
Panerai is great.
He certainly is. You know he sang Gianni Schicchi in Genova in 2011?
Hildegerd Haugen I didn't know that! Wait, does that mean he was performing a major role at almost 90? Wow!
Ed Vega He did. He celebrated his 95 birthday last week, October the 17.
The Amelia looks like Virginia Zeani....if I'm not mistaken. Panerai is wonderful here.
Pobbo
HUGE.
una grande gloria della città di Campi Bisenzio
in this aria his timbre sounds so like Bastianni
A marvellous baritone although somewhat overshadowed by Bastianini and Gobbi in his time. Nevertheless in the first rank of Verdi baritones. Bravo!
Im not sure Bastianini's teqnique wasn't very good and he had a very closed sound Thats sounds like Kermit, I believe panerai He is much better
Is that Pobbe at the beginning????
Accidenti se sapeva cantare! Tutto sul fiato!

I think the make-up artist thought he he would be doing Othello
A bit weak, a bit false.
