Giuseppe di Stefano
(1921-2008) |

|
The tenor voice most bella of the world? Giuseppe di Stefano
became world famous for his beautiful tone and exceptional use of
pianissimo and natural elegance of delivery. He sang with impeccable
style, pureness and beauty and his secret was just to sing, without
gimmickry and artifacts. His timbre and delivery was exceptional,
with great personality, but a limited technique ended his short,
but brilliant career by the mid 1960s. His admirable "Do Di
Petto" was unique in the history of opera, but he sang with
an open, uncovered tone that damaged his vocal cords and with the
years his sweet and bella timbre had grown coarse and hard, particularly
with the assumption of heavier roles not really suited for his vocal
range. The abuse provoked his premature disappearance on the opera
scene. |
