Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma!
Tu pure, o, Principessa
Nella tua fredda stanza
Guardi le stelle
Che tremano d’amore
E di speranza
Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me
Il nome mio nessun saprà!
No, no, sulla tua bocca lo dirò
Quando la luce splenderà!
Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio
Che ti fa mia!
(Il nome suo nessun saprà…
E noi dovrem, ahime, morir!)
Dilegua, o notte!
Tramontate, stelle!
Tramontate, stelle!
All’alba vincerò
Vincerò vinceeeeeeeeroooooooooo
DEL MONACO CREATED A LOT OF ATTENTION WITH THIS KNOCKOUT PERFORMANCE. THIS SUPERB ARIA WOULD DRAW A CROWD IF SUNG BY MICKEY MOUSE. IF YOU READ MANY OF THE COMMENTS, OTHER THAN PRAISE FOR DEL MONACO, ARE THE USUAL TENOR COMPARISONS. DIFFERENCE IN VOCAL APPARATUS ASIDE THE TECHNIQUE APPLIED BY ALL TENORS MENTIONED ARE ALMOST IDENTICAL EXCEPT FOR SINGERS PREFERENCE . MDM SANG THIS ANCHORING HIS CHEST RESONANCE THROUGHOUT, WITH A FIXED LOW LARYNX EXCEPT THE FINAL NOTES. WHERE HE ALLOWED THE LARYNX TO RISE SLIGHTLY TO LIGHTEN THE TONE COLOR. MORE LYRICAL VOICES, LANZA, L.PAV , JB. P. DAM. ETC. GAVE A BIT MORE EMPHASIS TO HEAD VOICE RESONANCE AND SLIGHTLY HIGHER FLOATING LARYNX. THEY WERE ALL MAGNIFICENT. WHY NOT JUST ENJOY AND THANK THEM FOR SHARING THERE GIFTS AND HARD WORK WITH US.IAN KAYE
The greatest dramatic tenor who ever lived. To have that much power and depth, and still remain as lyrical and emotional as he does, is truly breath taking. There is nothing that Mario could not do. Astonishing. There is no better Nessun Dorma than this one.
Kauffman you should learn how to sing this. So if you ever had the to listen to it, please stop singing this, the way you do it...hahaha! Grandisimo del Mónaco!!! Bravo!!!
