Ross and Tucker- Turandot Act 2
In questa reggia as magnificently sung by Elinor Ross for the Philadelphia Grand Opera in 1968. This is surely one of the finest versions of this difficult aria I have ever heard. I was fortunate enough to be at this performance, and it was "white hot." Her Calaf is a tenor by the name of Richard Tucker, who chimes in near the end with a powerful Bb (alright, A#) and then joins Ross for one of the mightiest high C's I have ever heard. The sound quality is not very good, but the vo...

LUCIA DUET- SCOTTO TUCKER 1973
For me, here is the way the role of Edgardo should be sung. Tucker was about 60 here, but his voice knew no years. Yes, I was spoiled by this, and no tenor since has come close, IMHO. Tucker simply rolls out the gold, as always, singing the most gorgeous of legatos in the Verrano a te section, and handling the high tessiture as if it was easy. He shades beautifully, and give a singing lesson for all those that care to listen. Scotto is also wonderful, with her incisive voice and handling of the...

In November of 1956, a great gala concert was announced in Chicago. Among the singers were to be Tebaldi, Simionato, Bjoerling, Bastianini. Bjoerling cancelled a week or two before the concert, and Tucker was asked to fill in, and did so. London/Decca recorded this entire concert, but only released a single LP of Tebaldi, Simionato, and Bastianini. All were London/Decca recording artists. Tucker was exclusive to Columbia, and was not included. About 40 years ago, Tucker gave me his selections, ...

Here is the complete Act 4 of Puccini's Manon Lescaut, as sung by two septuagenarians, Magda Olivero and Richard Tucker. And this 60 year old tenor has all his top notes, including a great high C, as you will hear. This was the only time these two great artists ever appeared together, and Tucker gave me this tape, recorded in stereo by the house for him, the day after he returned from Caracas in June of 1972. To hear these two greats give and give is indeed thrilling, and such singing is simply ...

From a 1967 performance of Forza del Destino, Richard Tucker is his usual thrilling self as Don Alvaro. In some ways, I think this in-house tape gives a good idea of how his top voice just opened up in the theater. A broadcast cannot really show this. The question here is who is his Leonora? I will be very impressed by anyone who guesses her. Here is Act 1, scene 1 from the entrance of Alvaro. ...

The final Cielo e mar- Tucker 1974- incredible!
Here, in a performance from Newark, NJ, in February of 1974, is the great tenor Richard Tucker singing the final Enzo in Gioconda of his career. This performance was given scant months before his passing, and yet the beauty of the voice and the special sheen was all there, still in tact. The top soared, and the legato was rolled out as sung liquid gold. This Cielo e mar is one for the ages, and I will cherish it always. This same aria was sung by Tucker 30 seasons earlier at his Met debut o...

A BIRTHDAY TRIBUTE TO RICHARD TUCKER- a full recital by Tucker in 1974
Today, August 28, we celebrate the birthday of the great tenor, Richard Tucker. Many call Tucker the greatest American tenor ever. I agree, but go on to state that for me, he was the greatest tenor ever, of any nationality, and many agree with this sentiment. Here, in the final year of his life, Tucker is still in top, golden form as he gives his all in a recital filled with arias, Jewish and Hebrew songs, French Songs, Italian songs, and Handel, Mehul, and Peri, among others! There are 23 selec...

The Prime of Mr. Mario del Monaco
The magnificent Italian tenor, Mario del Monaco, is heard here in the very prime early years of his international career. His voice as heard here in magnificent monophonic sound conveys the steel, or, as I heard it live, the "buzz" in his sound that helped it to carry so well, and, if possible, sound ever bigger than it already was. Of interest is his soft singing in each selection. We hear del Monaco in both Mascagni and Leoncavallo operas, but not Cav & Pag! Here a...
