THE GIGLI PINKERTON
The great tenor, Beniamino Gigli, is heard in all of Pinkerton's solo parts in this historical Podcast. The recording was made in Rome in July of 1939, and Gigli was in the 25th year of his career, with an amazing 16 years still to go! As always, his singing is golden and caressing to the ear. The role of Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly is sometimes thought of as not worth the effort of a truly first rank tenor, but it is, IMO. The role is long- since he sings for about an hour with little br...

Jose Carreras- 1st American Recital 1975
On October 14, 1975, the great tenor Jose Carreras gave his very first solo American recital. The venue was beautiful Carmel, California, and I was privileged to accompany Jose both at the recital, and on the ride to and from San Francisco, where he was appearing as Nemorino in L'Elisir d'amore. The recital was a great success, and the voice is at it's youthful best. The four selections here are: 1.  Ideale- Tosti 2.  Malia- Tosti 3. L'albe separe dalla luce lombra- Tosti 4. Nessun dor...

Richard Tucker- newly discovered Canadian Operatic Concert- 1972
Here are five selections from a recently discovered operatic concert that the great tenor, Richard Tucker, sang with the Winnipeg Symphony in March of 1972. Tucker greatness was ageless, and the voice is still in it's warm golden form. He was about 60 years old here, and sounds like a tenor about half that age. He sings arias here from Ballo, Tosca, Manon Lescaut, Pagliacci, and Leoncavallo's Mattinata. Also sung, but not on the recording, were arias from L'Africana, Cavalleria Rusticana, and L'...

Richard Tucker as SAMSON- Phila. 1970
Tucker came late to Samson, performing it for the first time in Phila. in 1970, and then doing a run at the Met in 1971-2 with Bumbry. I found him thrilling in this role, and dramatically, it was one of his finest. Here the Jewish leader rallies his troops, in French, but as a great Cantor just the same!!...

Richard Tucker- Thine Alone- from Eileen by V. Herbert
Here is an early (1949) recording of Richard Tucker, singing the gorgeous "Thine Alone" from the operetta "Eileen" by Victor Herbert. This is one of my 3 or 4 favorite Tucker recordings. He sings with such beauty and clarity, and makes the high tessitura sound easy, and, just for good measure, he transposes the second verse up a half tone, to make the high tessitura virtually impossible, but, again, Tucker makes it sound easy. For me, this is as gorgeous as it gets!!   E...

IRIS- Giuseppe Di Stefano & Rosanna Carteri- 1956
This magnificent scene from Mascagn's rarely performed "Iris" contains some of the greatest singing that Di Stefano ever committed to disc. The music is of the greatest difficulity for the tenor. Nothing is above an A natural, but so much of the music is between F and A natural as to make it a virtually unsingable tessitura. However, Di Stefano conquers, and had a great triumph on this opera when it was revived in Italy in 1956, the same year as this recording. His voice is ravish...
