Giuseppe di Stefano - La fleur que tu m'avais jetee (Live)

Giuseppe di Stefano (24 July 1921 -- 3 March 2008) was an Italian operatic tenor whose career spanned from the late 1940s to the early 1970s. He was also known for his long association with Maria Callas, with whom he performed and recorded many times, and with whom he was briefly romantically involved. It is the opionion of many that di Stefano had perhaps the most beautiful natural voice of any tenor in recorded history. Of course he is also infamous for his regression in his technique; his consistent heavy pushing through the passaggio and beyond caused him to lose most of his vocal beauty by the late 60-early 70s. Here he sings an absolutely wonderful rendition of 'La fleur que tu m'avais jetee' from Carmen. Live, 21 January 1956. This is before his voice had begun the process of self-destruction; it is absolutely gorgeous here. A side note: for those of you who know the story, this is the live broadcast where Pippo breaks Risë Stevens' arm later in the performance. Her cry of "Put my arm down!" can clearly be heard on the full broadcast.
