100 Greatest Singers: RENATO BRUSON

THIS PROJECT IS RESERVED ONLY FOR THE GREATEST! Italian baritone Renato Bruson one of them? Please let us know your opinion! Renato Bruson, Baritone (born 1936) Giuseppe Verdi - Rigoletto Cortigiani, vil razza danata With Armando Gabba, Baritone (Recorded 1984) My personal opinion: For those who preferably hear with their eyes, the operatic stage offered many attractiveness: The charming Hilde Güden; the elegant Lisa della Casa (Arabellissima); the tenor with the most beautiful legs, Franco Corelli; Mario del Monaco, who confused the stage with an italian sword and sandal movie; the model-sized Anna Netrebko or "The Prince of belcanto" Juan Diego Florez. On records, physique du role is irrelevant. It was Wagner, who demanded to hear the figur´s character in the voice. A microphone can be cruel, sometimes it changed into a microscope and unfold deficits without mercy. In recording-studios, the sound projection is totally different from in-house-performances. It was Herbert von Karajan who forced the development of opera in TV and movie, and of course he took attractive people for his projects: Elisabeth Schwarzkopf as Marshallese, Mirella Freni as Mimi and Placido Domingo as Pinkerton. Living in the shadow of good-looking stars - the list is long: Eileen Farrell was one victim, Gianni Raimondi and Jaime Giacomo Aragall others. Today, Joseph Calleja and Aquiles Machado are overshadowed by Villazon and co. Renato Bruson had made a great international career, but he never became a superstar such as Gobbi, Bastiannini or Cappuccilli, although he surpassed them. He was the greatest belcanto-baritone of the last decades, and recordings confirm his reputation. Critics considered him as the "finest Rigoletto since Gobbi" (in the old movie, Gobbi sang with an ugly nasty sound, but again it was the physique du role, that made him unforgettable). Wikipedia wrote about Bruson: Critics "appreciate his elegant and expressive phrasing, velvety tone, musical intelligence and acting qualities. He excels in long, lyrical lines." Bruson´s career came late. The general director of the Parma Opera House asked him in the 60s: "Where have you been all the years?" and Bruson answered: "That´s what I ask you!". After a performance in Parma, the Met offered a contract, but Bruson left New York soon after, "The system was wrong!" He made his name in Italy, came to Scala where he´d sung unsuitable roles too. He became famous with Roderigo (1978, Abbado, M. Price, Domingo), substituted for an indisposed Cappuccilli. In a review I could read: "To hear him means to realize, what rough and ugly other voices we have learned to accept." Could you accept him in this list? Let us know!
