Un celeberrimo brano che costituisce uno dei veri brani di misurazione dei baritoni, in ess tutti gli artisti hanno cercato di dare il meglio, la scelta del preferito ritengo sia di esclusivo gusto personala ( Merril Gobbi Bechi Zancanaro Nucci ed altri in decine varie...) la verità è che il brano è stupendo ed è piacevole ascoltarlo anche da un baritono di medio valore.

One of the great Italian dramatic baritones. Bechi's resonance, timbral richness and resounding acuti put virtually every contemporary baritone to shame:) --

Was there ever a baritone with SUCH a clear balanced sound? He reminds me very much of the great Mattia Bastistini. That beautiful beautiful bel canto technique they both possessed. Such elegant expressionist are rare truly nowadays Anyone who thinks these voices are nasally needs to get their ears checked! Bravo *****

Dear Reduxmisc,by all means,if possible,please post more Gino Bechi.He was such a marvellous baritone.Hugely popular in his home country but virtually forgotten here in the US.Personally,I like him as much as the great Bastianini or Leonard Warren.Grazie mille for posting this superb aria.One of Verdi's best.

Glad you liked it. You've inspired me to put more Bechi out there for people to enjoy. Very Interesting about Corelli's comment.

Bravo Reduxmisc ~ I had the pleasure of studying technique with (Franco) Corelli in Milan after his retirement form the MET el al and then again briefly in New York. After one of of my hour lessons I asked him casually whose voice he most admired and, without hesitation, Corelli said: "Gino Bechi." You are most cordially invited to visit some of my videos as well ~ Andy Rawn

Yes,please, more Bechi. Usually I prefer Gobbi,who is more "expressive" and subtle. But undoubtedly Bechi had a better voice. Where I live there was always a Bechi party and a Gobbi party. I am a Gobbist enjoying Bechi in secret...

What a pleasure to listen the warm voice of Gino Bechi. It is essential to diffuse all the possible documents on this great perhaps the greatest barytone. Maurice
