    Both, so good two real "pros" showing the way it's done. Bastianini was surely one of the best.
    We wuz robbed when we lost him and he hadn't even reached the height of his fame.

    Il timbro di Di Stefano è bellissimo e unico al centro; la dizione scandita è chiarissima l'interpretazione è da manuale e la voce è impostata meravigliosamente in alto.Di Stefano e Bastianini una coppia in stato di grazia in una serata indimenticabile. Il confronto con oggi anche nei migliori teatri, questi interpreti insuperabili sembrano provenire da un altro pianeta. Inevitabilmente, hainoi, perduto!

    Una delle più belle registrazioni con le voci di Di Stefano e di Bastianini, sotto la direzione di Mitropoulos, che dopo due mesi morirà sul podio della Scala, si esibiscono in una delle più grandi prove della storia dell'interpretazione."Le minacce, i fieri , accenti" è, in questa edizione live, forse la più toccante dell'intera opera, quella in cui l'immedesimazione raggiunge l'apice: l'articolazione della parola è tale da far dimenticare il canto e la finzione scenica. Non vi sono termini per descrivere questo momento con il pubblico ....Immortali Di Stefano ,Bastianini diretti da Dimitri Mitropoulos,Orchestra Wiener Staatsoper sommersi dai calorosi applausi,ma è un vero peccato che l'uscita del libro per il centenario di Ettore Bastianini con la Zecchini Editore questa memorabile recita non venga citata!

      Both Corelli, Tucker and MDM may be more dramatic spinto's in sound for the role and though Bergonzi managed it also, I must say GDS does a great job here being basically a more lyric tenor then they where, and as far as Bjoerling, he avoided it and probably wisely. I really like Bastianini of course and he also did it with Corelli, of course also the Combo of Warren and Tucker in the 1950's where America's contribution of greats but all in all this is wonderful.

As with Tucker as far as voice size, MDM sounded better in house, but with MDM it wasn't just voice size, it was that his voice sounded less steely in house then on some of his London Label records of complete operas.

Tucker then in prime voice and needed to be heard in house, for best advantage (as did MDM) . Corelli of course in Turandot for me, (rather then in Forza) had no equal live. Tenor Jussi Bjoerling . had his fineRCA recording with Nilsson in 1959, but no way would sing it live, he knew his limitations, and as Clint Eastwood said in his film " A man has to know his limitations" Bjoerling usually knew his very well and lasted well till he died at age 49, Sept. 9th. 1960.

On the contrary now I think the thought he is drawing down his capital adds extra frission, urgency, to the scene.
