The more I hear and see Fisichella's performances on UA-cam, the more I become convinced that he never really got what he deserved. His high notes are unmatched by almost any other tenor - free, dead-on, ringing and beautiful. But he is a lot more than just an incredible top. He has a beautiful sound throughout his vocal range. And while I won't call him the greatest singer, nearly everything I have heard from him is tasteful, well sung, melifluous and with a reasonable amount of passion. Perhaps there is some reason that I am not aware of for his failure to become a true star. But until someone tells me what that reason is, I will believe that he was probably the most underrated and underappreciated tenor in the last 50 years.
His only flaw is rushing ahead of the tempo sometimes, but, that's quite forgivable and it's the orchestra's job to accompany singers anyway. But you're quite right, he's very underrated. Although I think in Italy he's considered the best Bellini tenor of all time....
Como todo lo que cantó Fisichela... ¡fenomenal, magistral!, uno de los más grandes tenores del siglo XX, un maestro del canto que quizás muchos no reconocen ni dan los créditos que merecen su valía musical, interpretativa, técnica y vocal. Maravilloso tenor, ¡Braaaavooooooooooooooo!...
Because of the Recording companies who only wanted Pavarotti Domingo and Carreras, Fisichella had a very beautiful voice, but was found wanting in Larger Theatres, but so Was the other three, even Domingo whose voice was small for the roles he performed could NOT be heard in many theatres at the back. Fisichella should have been seen more especially in America, he only came to London about half a Dozen times and was always excellent, he appeared in Glyndebourne in Boheme, but it was the recording companies and Theatre Managers who were really to Blame in the Eighties and Nineties he sang the Shirts off the other three!
One possibility is that he preferred his career as it played out. He may not have wanted the life of an opera 'superstar' and all that goes with it. Perhaps he preferred a somewhat quieter career, with more time closer to home.
@@robertevans8010 Como Fisichella me gusta mucho me llamó la atención su comentario y busque información sobre la trayectoria de este tenor, Recibió muchos premios y actuó muchisimo, pero probablemente no grabo mas pues se especializó mucho en determinado repertorio. Sobretodo Bellini. Y eso lo habra limitado. Ahora está de moda criticar a Domingo pero hay que entender que es un todo terreno (aunque no todo lo que cantó se adaptaba a sus posibilidades). Y eso les viene bien a los empresarios.l Domingo les "rendía". Yo Hace mucho soy abonada al Colón de Buenos Aires y aquí canto con mucho exito La Fanciulla, La Forza, Tosca, Otello, Sansón, Fedora. Y Los tres tenores eran famosos antes de Caracalla.
Oltre alla bellezza della voce, acuti straordinari trattenuti per un tempo molto prolungato! 💎👏👏👏💯 Ora invece i tenori tengono la nota alta, ma anche quella media o bassa, per un microsecondo al massimo!
I only want to say my respectfull appreciation that this piece of music should be considered as the pray of a monk suffering in despair, not and never, as many other tenors like, and exercise of vocal strength.
He is Greatest Tenor better than anyone. The highest tone quality voice ever. Very balanced, power clean clear diction Phrasing perfect maschera bel canto Style . Beautiful, Gorgeous, phenomenal Sound ever!!
best comment reward. It is not disrespect to say: it's shameful to see so much marketing and fames among others so called 3 or top tenors, no better world in art than other field, unfair and buried under the system too often, he has the golden texture timber...
Tutti lo che parla il maestro in la sua master class e veramente aplucata qui;un apoggio intercistale diaphragmatico,con il petto in pozizione avante,un apoggio laringeo constante,e doppo una inteligente utilizazione delle resonance in maschera (naso e frontis),con ul fondo alto aperto,ma semore in conexione con la karinge (guardi la sua note accuta; bene apoggiata in laringe ma 100% in su).Per me,uno delle meglio da tutti (voce lirica,ma con un registro accuto piu lango e facile,e voce bellisima)...BRAVO!!!!!
Great singing. This is a live rendition, singing on the stage. Corelli never sang it on the stage but he did studio recordings. Its not fair to compare Corelli version and this live recording.
ABsolutely Magnificent - unfortunately all the Met seemed to notice were Pavarotti & Giordani. Fisichella was better than both of them in shared repertory! One of the greatest!!!
Grandissimo Salvatore Fisichella. Ho sempre amato la sua vocalità. Grazie!!!

Leo i have arrived at same conclusion 🤗

Buenisimo!!!;que gran tenor el Salvatore Fisichella,BRAVO!!!
Une interprétation magistrale ! Du pur belcanto...Fisichella est sans conteste un des plus grands ténors de notre époque.
finest pure bronze voice, shining colors, clean diction and natural high notes. Bravo!!!
This is the first I have ever heard of him. Why?? He's terrific! He sings this as well as the legendary Alfredo Kraus!
No kraus is the master of this song ,
ha avuto tutto nella voce! bravo maestro uno dei migliori tenori del secolo

John Schofield es verdad que dramáticos bajan mas la laringe que los líricos?
@@santisramos5832 en general sí, ya que tienen que crear un sonido mas poderoso
Very nice ! Bravo !
Grande Fisichella!
Vu à Avignon aux côtés de Cortez Sardinero Petkov sylvestre... ❤❤❤
Thank you 🤗
Très belle interprétation....
Michael Chung...you said it all!!!!!
Great singing. This is a live rendition, singing on the stage. Corelli never sang it on the stage but he did studio recordings. Its not fair to compare Corelli version and this live recording.
super

his texture timber is a treasure itself, do not need to talk about else. What a Tragic to Met. Beautiful, handsome and haunting voice.
@ucrebel59 I agree. But Corelli was unable to sing the second aria - "Una Vergine Un angel di Dio" - with the requisite run up to the high C#.
