"Ah! sì, ben mio", aria perteneciente al tercer acto de la ópera Il Trovatore, con música de Giuseppe Verdi y libreto de Salvatore Cammarano, basada en la obra de teatro El Trovador, del español Antonio García Gutiérrez. He aquí el auténtico Manrique, encarnado por el lanuviense Giacomo Lauri-Volpi. A pesar de la antigüedad de la toma (años 20), la tersura y la sonoridad de la voz se muestran incomparables. En mi opinión, una de las mejores versiones imaginables. Por cierto, las imágenes que acompañan a la música pertenecen a la serie fantástica Record of Lodoss War, basada en las novelas de Ryo Mizuno.

Apr 5, 2008 - This is magnificent. I am a huge Volpi fan but I have not heard this recording before. Clearly it is one of his earliest. What year is it please?
TrovadorManrique Escribio:
Apr 6, 2008 - I really don't know, but I suppose that it is recorded around 1922. You can perceive the very rapid vibrato and the imperfect vocalization in the high notes, defects that he corrected after 1925. I will try to find out the exact year and place.

Apr 6, 2008 - Thank you. 1922 sounds about right. People do criticise Volpi's vibrato, but it is no faster than other great tenors like Bonci, Manurita or De Lucia. Personally I find it very dramatic. Do you have any more recordings of Volpi or contemporaries? Thanks again. RM
TrovadorManrique Escribio:
Apr 6, 2008 - Yes, I have more recordings, and I hope to make more videos soon. There are not many, because Lauri-Volpi, as you surely know, was not friend of the recording studios... About the vibrato, probably the problem isn't the speed but the high oscillation... after 1925, he diminished the oscillation, making the voice more compact, and increased the squillo: I think that it was still not perfect.
TrovadorManrique Escribio:
Apr 6, 2008 - Bernar Shaw listened to the sublime voice of Julián Gayarre in certain occasion and said that it remembered a goat to him... Another example of fast vibrato is the also spanish tenor Hipólito Lazaro, but in my opinion he not reached the technical perfection of Lauri-Volpi.

Apr 6, 2008 - Some goat! Yes Bernard Shaw did not like Latin tenors very much. He called De Lucia's Almaviva 'perfectly detestable'. Are you a tenor? I am a baritone, but a student. It's good to meet other singers who admire the old singers. I don't like most modern singers.
TrovadorManrique Escribio:
Apr 7, 2008 - I am only a fan... I've taken choral singing lessons, but that's all. The masculine singers have been decades in crisis: there are not basses, tenors want to be baritones, baritones want to be tenors... I am sure that if you study taking as reference to the old ones, you'll take advantage to your companions!!
