Just read that Carlo Bergonzi has died

Music Lane

It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Great tenor. Never heard him live, unfortunately, but I have many of his recordings. We were fortunate with tenors in the 50s and 60s - Bjoerling, di Stefano, del Monaco, Corelli, McCracken, and Vickers (who was surprisingly good in the more lyric roles associated with some of the others) - but Bergonzi was as good as any, and unique. I'm not sure there was anyone better overall for Verdi (except for Otello) than he, and as far as Puccini goes, he was spectacular in the EMI Butterfly with Scotto and Barbirolli.
