Premiere Opera Podcast|Richard Tucker- newly discovered Canadian Operatic Concert- 1972 Episode
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'Elisir. The singing is truly awesome!!
Enjoy!!
Best wishes,
Ed
