That's because the other were in scope of the mass media. Domingo and Careras didn't deserve it. Pavarotti is another story, Pavarotti was THE VOICE anyway. An unique voice. Giacomini was a great tenor, a dramatic one, while Pavarotti was rather lyric tenor. You cannot have both at the same time.

I admit that I never warmed to the voice of Pavarotti. I think he could make any aria sound like a street song...no matter the opera it always sounds as if he's singing 'O Sole Mio' whilst winking at an audience. Then I hear Giacomini sing and I think, "Oh, THIS is how it's supposed to sound!" A beautiful, studied, mature performance.

Eccezionale!!!!L'ho ascoltato molte volte e la potenza,l'uguaglianza dei registri e il perfetto legato mi hanno sempre impressionato.Ho anche avuto occasione di cantare con lui nei Pagliacci a Macerata e vi assicuro che era strabiliante.oltretutto una persona d'una bontà e d'una modestia commovente.Indimenticabile.....e che dolore non averlo più tra noi.

@@brunoantony3218 Weird that you are trying to educate someone who actually sang on-stage with Giacomini. Also weird that you would ever compare Kraus to Giacomini. The two are completely different in terms of voice type, size of voice, timbre, and vocal production. Alfredo Kraus was a fine artist in terms of musicality, phrasing, and emotion. However, by his own admission his vocal production was very much in the mask. In my opinion, this is the reason it lacked the darkness of a chiaroscuro full lyric sound. Giacomini may be a little bit wooden in his interpretation (compared to Kraus, but not generally). But, his vocal technique was in another world.

@@benjaminjacobs5553 I agree wholeheartedly Ben. An opera singer is a vocal athlete. & the closer one gets to the outer edges of the full potential power & range of the voice, the more temperamental the voice becomes. A light lyric voice is inheritantly stable, because it functions comfortably inside its ultimate dynamic potential. A huge dramatic voice, however, is always produced at 90% of its full dynamic potential. Therefore it has almost no reserve capacity to draw upon when the singer's health, hydration, sleep, or bio rhythms are not 100%. Consistency is far more challenging than with the smaller voices. It's like a weight lifter, who cannot expect to lift his maximum weight on every occasion he attempts it. Muscles need rest & time to consolidate. Sometimes, the voice just doesn't want to know, & there's nothing to do but to back off & nurse it along on the technique.

I think Mr. Giacomini is the greatest tenor of his time. My husband, tenor Rubén Domínguez, and I were honored to have met him in Aida at the Pyramids in September 1987. In addition to being a great singer, he was a wonderful family man and a true gentleman.

Nunca me cansaré de escuchar a Giacomini, su voz es el cielo y el mar 💓💓💓

...c'ero anch'io quel giorno lontano... a pochi metri da lì. La voce di Giacomini era un fenomeno della natura. Un esempio di sublime kantiano.

It's a privilege to be able to hear this great tenor. Maestro Giacomini lives forever.

One of the greatest ever RIP maestro !

Honestly, I haven't heard this for some years. But that first note - My Lord, it's HUGE!!! Glorious!!

A glorious performance and a stunning example of portamento singing. What a beautiful, easy line he draws, and how lucky we are to have recorded performances by him!

If he had had the looks to match his heroic-sounding voice then guys like me would have known who he was before finding him on You-tube. That's a hell of an impressive instrument.

10 out of 10. Literally perfect.

There are literally no tenors today who have such richness, power and beauty of tone as Giacomini. None with such pure dramatic quality. It is impossible to cast dramatic opera any more with the current crop of lightweight tenors around. They all sing in their nose and with little or no pharyngeal ringing tone. This technique seems to have been lost. 50 years ago, there were many tenors capable of singing dramatic roles. Now, all we get is Mozart tenors strangling through big repertoire.

No hay palabras para describir tantas emociones que despierta escucharlo. En vivo debió ser aún mejor. Bravissimo Maestro!!

A great voice is one with full, ringing resonance. Giacomini's wonderful voice encompasses all that and more. It is refulgent with feeling, passion and masculinity, aside from having a fabulous round tone. Most singers today never access the full capacity of their voices, having been taught to sing so forward and nasal. The deeper, rounder and richer resonances lie dormant in their voices.

I pray to this guy. His technique is perfect and seems perfect for his voice. To those who are barking that it's ruining the voice. Check, how long Giacominni sang and then shut up. Of course you can't sing Rossini with this technique because G.G. has a dramatic voice, not known on Rossini period. He is wonderful bel canto and verismo singer. Mostly of course verismo. If I feel bad or can't find myself in voice, I listen him. It's like swimming in a sound. Would like to meet him and ask of some advises, but I've heard he has some problems with health. God help him.

Nel repertorio drammatico dove ci vuole la forza, perde mentre qui con le agilità e' perfetto.
