	Decca Music Group - Carlo Bergonzi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		But Bergonzi always knew his voice best and throughout a career that has spanned six decades he has produced a beautiful sound with a musicianship that is the envy of all.
		When Bergonzi is not teaching or (still!) singing he can be found acting as the genial 'padrone' of the hotel and its excellent restaurant, keeping a watchful eye on his sons who actually run the establishment.
		Bergonzi has recorded many roles for the Universal labels both on Decca and in Philips pioneering series of early Verdi operas.

		She hardly ever sang, like Carlo did, but on the couple of ocassions where she demonstrated it was luxury.
		She had a birthday while we were there and the lobby of the hotel was full of roses and reporters.
		Bergonzi did a farewell concert in 1999(?) in NYC which was great.

	Carlo Bergonzi, c. 1740, "Kreisler", ex. Perlman
		Carlo Bergonzi's father and mother lived next door to Stradivari in the Piazza San Dominico, and he became apprenticed to Stradivari.
		This Bergonzi is called the "Kreisler" because Fritz Kreisler used it as his concert instrument toward the end of his career, some 10 or 13 years.
		Itzak Perlman recorded the Khachaturian Concerto on the Kreisler Bergonzi (and he is pictured on the cover of that recording holding the instrument).

		Born in Vidalenzo near Busseto in Italy on 13 July 1924, Carlo Bergonzi studied with Edmondo Grandini after an audition at the age of 14 when Grandini was performing in Busseto.
		Bergonzi continued to sing throughout the 60's at 70's at all the major opera houses, and left the opera scene during the 80's to concentrate more on doing recitals.
		Dubbed "The Tenors Tenor," Carlo Bergonzi ranks as one of the finest lyrical tenors of this century with an impeccable style and refinement, "an artist com-bining strength, beauty, intensity and radiance" (John B. Steane).

	Carlo Bergonzi
		Carlo Bergonzi, tenor (with Renata Tebaldi, Gianna díAngelo, Renata Scotto, Sylvia Stahlman, and Joan Sutherland, sopranos; Fiorenza Cossotto, Giulietta Simionato, and Dora Carral, mezzo-sopranos; Piero de Palma, tenor, Ettore Bastianini, Enzo Sordello, and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, baritones; Tugomir Franc, Fernando Corena, and Libero Arbace, basses).
		Bergonzi opens in a light, conversational tone, captures the intimate moment that is being shared by Rodolfo and Mimi.
		Likewise, Bergonzi is one of the finest in delineating the warrior and lover dichotomies of RadamËs (Aida) and Manrico (Il trovatore).

		Bergonzi shows in this collection that even late in his career he could still produce that wonderful lyric beauty he was so famous for.
		Bergonzi's voice on this cd is perhaps past its prime (though some will contend that Bergonzi was always in his prime).
		Bergonzi is always sensitive to the graceful vocal line of the older songs on the cd, such as Vaga Luna and La Promessa, and his delivery of these songs is never crass or over-the-top.

	Bergonzi Italian songs
		In fact, May 3, 2000 Bergonzi is scheduled to sing his first Otello at Carnegie Hall with the Opera Orchestra of New York.
		Bergonzi’s recitals are treasures, each offering a lesson in the art of Italian singing.
		For the most part, Bergonzi’s voice displays its characteristic and beguiling combination of beauty, warmth, and Italianate “spin.” It must be acknowledged that by the time this recording was made, his high notes did not have the freedom and resonance of his performances in the '50s and '60s.

		Carlo Bergonzi was a Verdi tenor of the elegant kind, sorely missed at this turn of the century.
		Bergonzi was criticized by some as being "too gentlemanly" on the Karajan disc.
		Bergonzi comes into his own with the farewell to his mother; in this live recording, we even hear the sound of an actual kiss to Mamma Lucia.

		Bergonzi recorded these 31 arias in 1974 (with the exception of the 1972 Attila and I Masnadieri) expressly for this project (contrasted with Domingo's DG set, which includes a smattering of new recordings among the many more culled from the singer's complete operas on a variety of labels).
		Bergonzi recorded a number of Verdi roles earlier in his career, and on some occasions, most notably Riccardo (Un ballo), Radames (Aida), and Alfredo (La Traviata), he must yield to the freewheeling agility of his younger self.
		(And Bergonzi, like most tenors after Björling, never had true squillo tones at the top of his range.) However, his late take on Otello (a role he never recorded or performed onstage, except for an abortive post-retirement attempt) reveals a depth of tone and simmering darkness not usually associated with this tenor.

		When the great Carlo Bergonzi announced his American Farewell Recital at Carnegie Hall on April 17th 1994, I couldn't resist the occasion of hearing him for one last time.
		He cracked on the small ornamentation in the vocal line right off the bat, though the voice was recognizably Bergonzi, with the familiar timbre largely unchanged.
		Following a lengthy intermission, an official came on to announce that Bergonzi was indisposed and Acts 3 and 4 would be sung by Antonio Barasorda.

		He made his debut as a baritone in Lecce in 1948 in Il Barbiere di Siviglia and then moved to the tenor register in 1951 in Giordano's Andrea Chénier.
		In the Fifties and Sixties he was considered one of the finest voices in the history of opera and his great international career saw him star in many legendary performances alongside the great artists of his time, from Maria Callas to Tito Gobbi and Renata Tebaldi.

		Bergonzi's 1957 recital, recorded in Rome, is every bit as thrilling, and for many of the same reasons.
		Bergonzi seldom failed to earn anything but the deepest respect from his colleagues and critics – here was a tenor who had a well-developed brain to go along with his trumpeting voice.
		Marilyn Horne went in the opposite direction from Carlo Bergonzi: she started her career as a soprano, but later found that it was as a mezzo that she had something unique to offer.

		But the sound is always unmistakably his own, and his zarzuela recordings - pre-eminently the intensely moving El caserío - are a legacy fully worthy to stand beside the better-known opera recordings, fine mementos of a musical and highly distinctive singer.

		At one time it was erroneously believed that Carlo was a student and assistant of Stradivari.
		Like the works of other great makers, the Bergonzi instruments are often imitated, so the presence of a label bearing his name is no guarantee that the instrument was actually made by Carlo Bergonzi.

	Viola by Nicola Bergonzi, Cremona, 1781
		The Italian violin collector, Count Ignazio Alessandro Cozio di Salabue (1755-1840), was already collecting instruments when this viola was made by the grandson of the great Cremonese luthier, Carlo Bergonzi, a contemporary of Antonio Stradivari.
		It is ironic to note, in light of its present-day importance as one of but a few well-documented, 18th-century instruments to survive in virtually original condition, that Cozio once wrote that "it has no value" (from a translation by Dario D’Attili, adapted by Philip Kass).
		There is no doubt that the addition to the Witten-Rawlins Collection of the magnificent Nicola Bergonzi viola—coincidentally, preventing the "modernization" that might otherwise have been the instrument's fate—enhanced Larry's dream in a most significant way.

		Ideally, a more heroic voice than Carlo Bergonzi's is best for the title role in this complex melodrama about a noble rebel and outlaw in Renaissance Spain--so noble that he accepts death rather than break his word of honor and live happily ever after.
		However, Bergonzi makes up in technique and stylistic awareness for what he may lack in muscle.
		Leontyne Price's voice was at its peak in the late 1960s when this was recorded, but in style she is not comparable to Bergonzi.
