grande interprete Verdiano; grande voce presenza scenica: be cosa volere di più
Il Simone più bello mai messo in scena in nessun teatro al mondo quando la Dcala era La S C A L A !!!!!!!!!!!?
Perfecto!
Cantabile, legato, power voice.
Grande opera singer
N. Ghiaurov!
Insieme a Siepi un colore di voce di basso vero che oggi si stenta a sentire.
ho la pelle d'oca ancora adesso quando risento la musica diretta da Abbado R.I.P
I love this bass and this opera!
You have great taste. Boccanegra is one of Verdi's greatest operas, and Ghiaurov is one of the greatest basses ever,
@@psono429 Yes! You need a great soprano, tenor, baritone and bass! I love Ghiaurov so much, but my favourite Boccanegra is this: ua-cam.com/video/esG2dm2LayU/v-deo.html
Probably he's the best bass singer in the 70th and 80th era.
Yeah!
That’s right!
Uno de los mejores bajos de la historia.
¿Qué me dices de Kurt Moll?
muso2007 También me gusta.
@Fabrizio La Pioggia che bello! Y no olvides a Mardones🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Sí
L'accompagnamento finale dei violini è da brividi. Grande Verdi e grande Ghiaurov!
The best interpretation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will never understand why videos such as this one only have 25,000 some views while 'Friday' has close to 90 million.
Because our world promotes garbage over quality to keep us all dumbed down, so they can control us.
It has a lot more now, though! Almost 170,000!
Cause this is an old recording of a not so well known aria from a niche verdi opera.
Opera is not for everyone.
The real question is how come the MET air such terrible casts as the one from some years ago with Domingo as Boccanegra. And still they get claps and great praise for their latest trash version of Boccanegra
@@diegeigergarnele7975 It’s not really that niche of an opera and it’s arguably one of the most well-known bass arias, but I absolutely agree with your last point. Operatic singing is not what it was, and most of the casts of the current Met broadcasts are embarrassing.
@@xxsaruman82xx87 idk I browse a lot of arias (especially male) and before listening to the full (and terrible modern rendition of it) boccanegra I didn't really know this aria. Seriously somewhere on youtube you can find this aria from met latest production, the bass sounds like me parodizing a bass
I LISTEN, LISTEN . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I AM IN FULL MEDITATIONE !!! I AM VERY, VERY, VERY HAPPY TO LISTEN THIS GREAT BULGARIAN VOICE !!! BOW, BOW, BOW befor Your great Bulgarian talent !!! Dear Mr Nicolai Ghiaurov, God bless the Your beautiful Bulgarian soul !!! All my friends, all my big family and I love You endless !!! Always with a lot of love and light N.Mirkova from Bulgaria
Bella voce scura e possente, magnifico il FA grave finale. 👏👏👏⚘
Maravilloso
Just only 145,733 views, unbelivible humanity, where are you going???
Now everybody sings with a microphone.
Yeah!
@ina5587 Youˋre so very right. Give all these nowadays-stars their microphones and Ghiaurov would have sat an example and showed them all the meaning of real singing and what it sounds like. With his unique and powerful voice heˋd smash them right through the wall!
Che tempi d'oro!!!!!!! non torneranno mai più
BIGDANY1000 NO
Dear friends from Italian RAI TV, ENDLESS THANKS FOR THE WONDERFUL VIDEOS !!! ENDLESS THANKS FROM ALL BULGARIANS !!! ALL We - ALL BULGARIANS LOVE THIS INFORGETTABLE BULGARIAN BASS Nicolai Ghiaurov !!! GOD BLESS Nicolai Ghiaurov"s SOUL !!! GOD BLESS RAI TV !!! GOD BLESS Italy !!! Always with a lot of love and light N.Mirkova and friends, and all my big family from Sofia - Bulgaria
Bravo, bravo, bravo. Mi emoziona molto ascoltare questa grande voce. Grazie Maestro, sempre con noi!
Nessun problema
Выдающийся певец, потрясающий голос, жаль, что я не успел послушать живьем!!!!
Ghiaurov does posses true pristine bass voice and superb acting performance! Great conductor C. Abbado.
Helena Williams His voice was so pure. I have been an avid fan since I first saw him in Don Carlo in Vienna in 1963 or 1864. In addition to that glorious voice he was an excellent actor. I think I must have everything he ever recorded. I never tire of listening to him.
His perfomance shows that he is feeling comfortable on the stage all the time
Yes! Viva Ghiaurov!
Yeah!
Now that’s more like it
if it is sung like this then I surely want to hear and see this spectacle in the opera of Liège next month!♡
It probably won't be sung exactly like this 🙂
You’re right
Exactly
Nicolai is my absolute idol and I can listen to his recordings for hours. As an amateur opera singer I can only listen with envy. I particularly love this clip because he fails to get the c' on "prega" accurately. At least I have SOMETHING in common with my idol!
Un vero grande artista, completo, ed elegante.
Muy bien
Il re di basso - per sempre!
Sí
Il re di basso e' Boris Christoff
@@sarahilieva1585 Più probabilmente prima che arrivasse Nicolai Ghiaurov. Dopo decisamente no. Li ho visti entrambi dal vivo.
Listening to a voice like this ... transporting
Wow!
Pretty cool!
Великият Николай Гяуров! Прекрасно! Благодаря Ви!
Anch’io penso che sia uno degli spettacoli più belli, in assoluto, di tutti i tempi, sia musicalmente che scenicamente e registicamente, e pensare che era un’opera verdiana quasi sconosciuta, da quando l’ho sentita la prima volta, l’ho amata svisceratamente, e l’ho sempre considerata il Simone di Verdi e Abbado………
Wonderful.
Que grande impostação vocal ! Trabalho muscular-facial que já não se faz hoje em dia, com rigor e clareza. Este vídeo é uma verdadeira aula de canto, em todos os sentidos.
Sí
Alto livello. Grande Maestro.
que inmenso artista, gracias NG
De nada
SO GREAT ! BEAUTIFUL !
Outstanding production. As a singer myself I appreciate Ghiaurov's amazing talent but the staging also captivated me; such amazing looking scenery and stone-looking wooden steps.
That’s right
SUPER BASS !!! Bulgarian VOICE !!! World voice !!! PRIDE FOR A SMAL BULGARIA !!! PRIDE FOR THE World culture !!! BOW, BOW, DEEP BOW BEFOR THIS FANTASTIC Bulgarian TALENT !!!
Very, very, very heart greetings Dear Gabba02, for the fantastic video !!! ESPECIALLY THANKS of UA-cam BG / Bulgaria / for the fantastic MIX !!! Nicolai Ghiaurov is PRIDE for Bulgaria !!! Nicolai Ghiaurov is PRIDE for The World culture !!! God bless all Bulgarian talents !!! Always with a lot of love and light N.Mirkova and friends from Bulgaria
Ghiaurov è un Grandissimo Fiesco!!!!

Le plus grand...
Really? Ghiaurov was generally considered one of the greatest actors on the operatic stage.

John Lennon?
¡¡¡El Maravilloso y Exquisito Ghiaurov!!!! Un Gran Bajo, Uno De Los Mejores Del SigloXX.
Junto con Hines, Sieppi, y algunos otros mas, el es de mis Preferidos. Una Gran Artista
com Un Gran Cantante, con una personalidad y un estilo muy definidos. Realmente Lo
admiro por todo concepto.
che emozione!! avevo 26 anni ancora non sapevo tutto quello che mi sarebbe successo poi
Il più grande Fiesco! In assoluto.
Sí
Awesome. My voice instructor just gave me this aria to learn. Neato. I love Verdi. :D
I performed this Aria and, won the Harrogate Competitive Music Festival “Opera” class . 2014. A fabulous piece and I watch this with total admiration for one of the greatest Basses ever. I know....I was nothing but a very pale copy but the audience appreciated my effort:). I watch this with complete admiration.
Yeah!
Same
Bravo
Divino
marvellous
Maravillosa Aria.
Sí
Perhaps this performance was matched by some basso over the years, but I doubt it was ever surpassed.
That’s right
Люблю.
Grande. Il più grande.
Leggenda.
Cette même production fut donnée à Garnier peu de temps après le 25octobre 1978 suivi de 11 représentations et reprise l'année suivante pour 7 autres ; la distribution réunissait sous la direction d'Abbado, Cappucilli, Freni, Ghiaurov en alternance avec Raimondi tandis que Freni alternait avec Ricciarelli et Te Kanawa; le spectacle fut diffusé en différé par la télévision française et on se demande ce qu'attend la direction de l'opéra de Paris pour faire restaurer avec les moyens techniques hors pair dont on dispose l'ensemble des productions que l'on eut la chance de voir sous la direction générale de Rolf Liebermann.
Non seulement ce sont des joyaux de mise en scène et d'interprétation mais de vrais leçons à donner aux massacreurs patentés qui règnent sur les scènes mondiales aujourd'hui applaudis par des snobs incultes.
L'intégrale de cette superbe mise en scène de Strehler figure sur youtube heureusement.
Pour ceux que cela intéresserait lire et parcourir le magnifique ouvrage de Liebermann "En passant par l'Opéra" publié chez Gallimard-NRF en 1980 peu de temps après la fin du mandat de celui qu'on peut considérer comme le plus grand directeur de l'Opéra de Paris du XXe siècle. Avoir une place avec visibilité à l'époque relevait du parcours du combattant! J'en sais quelque chose!
Magnificooooooo
Yes, he is truly the epitome of a dramatic bass.
Yeah
My absolute favourite Baritone
Basso))
@@user-yg7zn6cy8o And a great one at that!
Ghiaurov is a real bass.
Yeah!
Not Baritone but Bass
고맙습니다
Класс.
Impossible to hear it only once
Yeah!
Beau grave.
Слушаю.
Bello w Verdi e w Italia
куда куда куда вы удалились
God, I'm such a pathetic bitch for the chorus in this song. "E morto . . . Miserere . . . E morto". Goosebumps every time.
every budy should knew this!
Фиеско?
@Geronimo1913
I'm working on learning it myself, but I'm a baritone so it's a little low for me =)
It's good practice for the low range, even if don't perform the aria.
Very nice. Unlike most other people who sing this, Ghiaurov doesn’t shout the entire aria, instead using properly restrained dynamics. Shame, however, about the last note, which is sung on an unrecognizable vowel, possibly in order to ensure that it resonates.
Who shouts this aria among the Greats?
@raigekimaru Cool beans but why are you learning a bass aria when you're a baritone? I'm sure you'll do fine with singing that low F sharp.
Una voce di bronzo...
Muy bien
Ê molto buono ma, ascoltate il Siepi.
Li ascolto volontieri tutti e due.
4:05 F2
Unheard of, superb and unsurpassed!
Not a good way to listen to!
@34fgsfgsdtu48w7qtaqt And now that he and Siepi are gone, who will sing these wonderful parts? God must be happy: he can hear two among the greatest bass voices singing every day.
1:55
@NoirOrchestre Ghiaurov is considered to be the greatest opera bass ever lived along with Siepi. I personally don't like him. My personal limit. He might not be the darkest voice, but the man was undoubdetly a bass: he sang very naturally and openly. I agree that Fiesco is a role where you might want to hear more vocal heaviness and dark sounds: it is usually associated with basso profondo repertoire.
One of the most stupid posts on a great singer I have ever read.
It's typical basso cantante role.
@@ransomcoates546 that was my 20-year-old-self actually PRAISING Ghiaurov despite him not really satisfying my (very) personal taste. And actually arguing against somebody who said he sucked.
How is that a stupid post on a great singer?
Donegal Danny Are you sure I was replying to you? It seems a little harsh for what you wrote. But I heard Gh. a lot in the 60’s, and it was a very great voice. His resonance was so profound the sound seemed to be coming from the walls. The problem is that he sang at least 20 years past his prime, and people take his late singing as what he always sounded like. It isn’t. I will never forget the sound of his opening ‘Ave Signor’ in a ‘65 ‘Mefistofele’ with Tebaldi in Chicago. Absolutely prodigious.
@@ransomcoates546 Now that you mention it, you most definitely weren't. It looks like we were both replying to what appears to have been a "not a true bass" comment, now fortunately deleted.
That aside, I appreciate Ghiaurov much more now that I'm close to 30. I've become much less Siepi-centered in listening and shifted my attention to less Italianate sounds and style overall in recent years. Funny how one appreciates less apparent manifestations of beauty as one ages, compared to the striving for perfection (and worshipping of but a few idols) of one's early 20s.
@dicebagdaryl umm I love Kanye West, he is one of the most accessible and creative artists today. I also love Verdi's operas. I consider myself part of the "general" public. Maybe the real problem is that there are too many elitist snobs out there who know what "true" art is supposed to be like. Maybe the "general" public associates opera and classical music with prudish, snobs who look down on said "general" public, thus making it a negative association.
bravo ma siepi è migliore
Люблю, ужасть..
The best: Mihaly Szekely.
@Barone Vitellio Scarpia I like Pinza the best
@@xxsaruman82xx87 How about this? ua-cam.com/video/M7qjd8nMq5I/v-deo.html
But sometimes we couldn't rank West by the Spears, Gaga and, for example, Kesha, cause these are different things. I think, when we compare talents. West is doing some record business and contributing in other artists' events. So I can totaly agree with dicebagdaryl.
Verdi opera rules! (I like ''verissmo'' opera in general so I like Giuseppe!!)
But if we compare vocals, then I apologise, Kesha, Kanye W., Madonna and this kind of vocals is nothing againsts Ramy, Ghiaurov etc. Sorry!
Giuseppe Verdi is NOWHERE NEAR Verismo, but still Bel Canto with an added flair of realism. He's not purely Verismo.
Bella esecuzione ma non al livello di Neri, Giaiotti e Siepi...
But there are multitalented artists like Sharlotte Churche, welsh singer, american M. Bolton (originally Bolotin) who can sing whatever they want because of vocal mastery, skills. And there're so many others i did not mention. good luck listening!
If you have the audacity to mention the likes of Church or Michael Bolton on a video of Ghiaurov then there are no words.
What?
Look to Stefan Kocan if you want to see a great Verdian bass...
The color of his voice is not to dark, i think he is a bass baritone(more bass)
basso canto
He is real bass !)) You should listen how Ghiaurov sings Khrennikov-the song of the Drunkards.
@@iliakazakov-ba6974 yes he is bass but the color is not to dark i prefer Cesare Siepi
@Barone Vitellio Scarpia im not agree Cesare Siepe have a voice more dark than him and other basses too this is basso lyrico but profondo no!!!
He is a real bass. George London and Samuel Ramey are bass baritones.
@MrMooseman485 Because the general public are tasteless robots who like Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Kanye West, and the like and completely LACK taste in true art.
You have a picture and username of a mainstream character and are trying to talk shit about the general public. Good job.
Bad acting......but good singing
Energy Power you must be blind😅
Yeah. You are much better
Bad acting? Ghiaurov is one of the best basso singing-actors ever!
@@xxsaruman82xx87 everyone's entitled to his opinion
For me he's more a Boccanegra than a Fiesco...
Why? He is a bass. Boccanegra is a baritone role?
I don't think Ghiaurov could sing Boccanegra. And his low notes are better than most basses.
Canto ottimo ma senza anima
Люблю.
