This is so precious 🥺 I have tears in my eyes. Wish I could have lived in a different era.

I went to an operatic concert yesterday and could not stand the singing, left early. Thank you so much for giving us gems to listen to with love...

Wow she is enjoying her best time❤

Beautiful timbre

Inégalable Renata Tebaldi, je ne. me lasse pas d'entendre la beauté de sa voix, la pureté de son timbre.

We will never see the likes of these two again, and here together, the great Italian soprano and the great American tenor Richard Tucker, who first was a Synagogue Cantor and then became the leading American Metropolitan operatic tenor in his time.

The world doesn’t need more bad performers like them. Fortunately the ones who came before and even Callas showed that true opera can be better than subpar as shown there.

Marvelous😍!

MERAVIGLIOSI!!!!!!!!!!

UNBELIEVABLE !! The perfect balance, beautiful shifting of nuances and colour from both. Exciting, beautiful operatic singing at it's best !

@@RadamesAida2Operalovers Yes, I saw both in house, Tebaldi first in 1959 with GDS in Tosca, she then was sensational, and did see Tucker also, I did see him sing in house, probably at least 20 times, in opera and concert both, also as a Cantor in Chicago, where he sang yearly. Got to know him very well, and had dinner sometimes with him and friends, after he sang. In house his sound was greater then on records, in fact Rosa Ponselle told James Drake (He wrote the Ponselle and Tucker books ) she heard him sing for her at her home and she then said Tucker was "the greatest Spinto in his time" and that he sounded different in house, she also said "people who bought his records should get their money back, because he didn't sound like that live!" (that was how good she thought he was)

@@RadamesAida2Operalovers I agree and understand completely and will give you my theory on that, from the Tebaldi haters, firstly I saw her in house, also in Italy and that was thrilling, she did not sing flat up top when I saw her and it was only an occasional thing and mostly later, so what? Your caught up in the live performance in house, not taking apart every note in your living room at home, so on studio recordings they have re -takes, no flat notes usually-- but live you are not taking every note apart in the house as you sit there, and her flat note times are not that often anyhow, early not much at all, the haters have this Agenda, I'll tell you now, a reason---CONT

I always liked Sullivan, a real classy guy, but he did mess up foreign names on occasion, like here with the great Tebaldi.

I wish I was born back then. Today's six-pack tenors don't compare at all.
