Oh, come on! All you would-be critics. Just listen to the man! Divine voice. Full of love and all his heart. The perfect tenor sound. So he didn't "protect" his voice. He just sang like an angel. And maybe for only a few years. But so what? Just listen and enjoy!

È unico!

I miracoli vocali del grandissimo Pippo Di Stefano... suscitava simpatia il vederlo, ascoltarlo mentre si infervorava nel discorso. Sentirlo cantare era qualcosa di più, perché la sua voce nel canto, si accendeva di un fascino irresistibile con la sua interpretazione riconoscibilissima ,unica , fatto di naturale bellezza e di tantissima dolcezza e queste registrazioni live fanno comprendere a chi non sa!

He had a unique, recognizable voice. Something about the timbre, the passion, the artistry. One (I) can't always recognize other great tenors, but I can always recognize the great di Stefano.

My favourite Italian lyric tenor!

What a singer!! The voice is absoluty beaty and power!! So much chest and timbre!

One of the very best

I miracoli vocali del sempre inimitabile grandissimo Pippo!

Condivido appieno il commento di Verasantarelli...Pippo era veramente una persona meravigliosa!!!

What a fabulous voice he had, thank you Marx 7811.

Oh mon dieu. This is why I love opera.

At his best, before about 1955, Pippo is one of the great tenors of the century. Later on he is still one of the most exciting/

His voice was unsurpassed. A testament to the hights of beauty the human voice can achieve.

Pippo di Stefano oltre alla sua straordinaria voce interpretativa, che accarezzava l'anima x chi la possiede, ma ha il grandissimo merito di aver svecchiato, l'immagine del cantante lirico.

The Maestro is quoted as saying "I never made a plan in my life."

I love his natural voice coming from the depth of his soul. I heard him in Turandot at la Scala in 1959 when I was only 15 years old. I was so in awe that I was at la Scala with all its glory, that I barely could concentrate on the music (Turandot was Birgit Nilsson). But even more joy for me was that in the same week I attended an other opera, Hercules (Handel) with who? Franco Corelli! I fell in love right away, and I'm still in love with him.

Concerning Maria Callas, she might not have even been in Milan these two weeks. They sang everywhere, they traveled.

I heard the most wonderful audio recording of Cavalleria Rusticana with both Maria Callas and Giuseppe di Stefano. I never thought that I would get to hear him sing Turridu. Miracle of miracles. There they both were: Callas and di Stefano. The best recording of that opera. It was late. I was tired. I had a lot of work ahead of me the next day. Oh screw it I thought. So I listened in joy for the entire opera. With no regrets.

They sang a Butterfly in Chicago in 1955. Unfortunately it was not recorded.

Он уникален тем как показал всем своим творчеством, что оказывается тенор может знать о чём он поёт, а не тупо любоваться собой, своим голосом. Его рубато очень логично, так как всегда исходит от образа его героя, а не от прихоти очередного "красавца тенора". Техника его вокала на высшем уровне, а идеальных нет и не будет, пока не появится ещё одна чудесная Мария Каллас. Изучайте её технику Дыхания, стремитесь познать элементы. А успех прийдёт в стремлении.!

Em muitas Óperas ele com a Callas são imbatíveis.

Igual no era el más técnico pero su calida voz lo compensaba. María no habría cantado tanto con él si no hubiera sido tan grande. La mejor pareja, para mí, sobre el escenario.

Mai sentito cantar le parole e parlar le note come pippo

A great and yes among the all time greats. I developed a new respect for his talent when I heard the 1950 Salute Demure from Faust in San Francisco when he held a high C5 for 10-11 seconds and decrescendo it to an exquisite pianissimo. As great a career he had it could have been greater had he made some slight changes, waiting longer to become involved in certain roles

Para eso hay que tener una gran técnica y para "hablar cantando" también. Y eso lo hacía Di Stefano. Yo soy Krausista pero también se admirar a otros grandísimos tenores y, sin duda, Pippo lo fue. Y no sólo como tenor lírico que era. Aquí podemos escucharlo en el aria de La Forza. Los únicos spintos o spinto/dramáticos que podrían competir con el en este aria son Del Mónaco y Corelli. El resto de "especialistas", a su lado, no tienen nada que hacer. Kraus era perfecto, pero Pippo "embrujaba" con su canto.

Já nesta ária da Força do Destino acho Del Mônaco superior. Na ária Ciello e mare, Di Stefano é o melhor de todos.

He had a big voice, indeed. But, reportedly, he's being an erratic and also undisciplined singer, which led him to his early decline. At least for a tenor of this size, Tucker would be more preferable for me.

@@omarsomehow69 Tucker was more comparable to Corelli. Both of them were lirico spintos and shared a lot of core repertory. Di Stefano was more of a pure lyric tenor, although reportedly his voice carried quite well in the house. But his voice was nonetheless lighter. His technique was not really polished though, meaning that he sang more on pure talent than knowledge. So he would’ve coped with heavier roles more sustainably had he been more technically polished.
