I don't even know why I expected less, but this is absolutely phenomenal. Even more ease than Melchior with the most difficult phrases of the aria and seemingly endless power.

[ivanscotton]

Seu timbre em várias Óperas é casamento perfeito com a orquestra.

Del Monaco never fails to consistently impress me...

Mario Del Monaco, Wagners Walküre, Stuttgart 1966, ich war 19 Jahre alt, unvergessen bis an das Ende meiner Tage!

[ransomcoates]

Wow! A real Heldentenor in this music. And his German is better than Domingo — he gets the closed ‘e’ sound right. Bright, ringing, free tone. And today we have Kaufmann ‘ingolata’ and Vogt ‘senza voce’. I wish he had gone to Bayreuth. It’s clear from this recording that he was willing to chasten the ‘slancio’ of his Italian style — perhaps he felt uncomfortable by this point with having to sing such a long opera in a language and manner not his own. But I found the singing here quite brilliant.

[MrNeilsy]

Hearing this makes me wish more Italian tenors would have explored Wagner. Del Monaco is incredible in this recording. Wow!

[amantedellopera]

Mario all day and every day of the week over mr.kaufman, what a voice, and this is recorded in his declining years...priceless

[bg]

Thanks! This is my favourite version now! Just how heroic his voice here!

Non so se questo mio commento solleverà polemiche, secondo me Del Monaco sarebbe stato uno dei più grandi Lohengrin, rimasi impressionato dalla sua prima registrazione se non vado errato su Voce del Padrone, in italiano, con un centro così ricco e bronzeo e con quella dizione (non c era bisogno di libretti) avrei voluto sentirlo in altri ruoli wagneriani, resta comunque uno dei più grandi.

Una gloria de la lirica de todos los tiempos

Die Partie des Lohengrin gehörte auch zum Repertoire von Mario del Monaco, allerdings in der Muttersprache des Sängers, und neben der Walküre (in deutscher Sprache) war Wagner jedoch eine höchst seltene Ausnahme. Um so mehr ist diese Aufnahme mit einer Wiedergabe der Gralserzählung in deutscher Sprache ein Novum. Die Artikulation ist blendend gelungen, ganz im Gegensatz zu den meisten etablierten Wagnertenören, die gelegentlich Konsonanten oder ganze Silben verschlucken oder abschleifen und eine marinierte Gestaltung an den Tag legen. Mario del Monaco war zwar von Richard Wagner fasziniert, aber für einen italienischen Tenor ist Wagner ein schwieriges Unterfangen. Das Wagner-Fach erfordert das Hauptaugenmerk eines Künstlers und keinen gelegentlichen Ausflug im internationalen Kunstwesen. Wie schon zum Ausdruck gebracht, ist die Diktion des Vortrags ganz vorzüglich gelungen; in Technik und Schönheit einfach brillant, und mir fällt gegenwärtig kein Sänger ein, der diese Arie besser dargeboten hat, sehe ich einmal von dem wunderbaren Max Loenz ab..

[cliffgaither]

Oh, well ... they won't be able to criticize Del Monaco for being just a loud voice. This is truly wonderful. What a magnificent singer.

Old School Singers, Thank you !

[道-pe]

This sound is so grand!! How glorious!

[radames]

Questa è un'opera adattissima alla vocalità e temperamento di Del Monaco...non so se il tedesco è buono, ma l'interprete non delude...

Wieland Wagner wanted DM in Bayreuth but he didn't t accept.
When we hear this we can feel umhappy because Mario would have been a great helden tenor.
Wagner would have foumd his St Paul with him.
His diction in German is maybe not peerless but the voice, Wow.
Great.

[renzomichielotto]

Semplicemente eccellente grande maestro Mario del Monaco

[cristovaomendoca]

Wow, never knew MDM, sang im German 😱😱

[colmicteam]

Grandissimo ed eroico!!! Come avrebbe desiderato lo stesso Wagner...

[williamadolphe]

Bravo del Monaco! Better sung than anybody in German, just about. (German is pasable but not precise).

[thomassicard]

"The One Who Could Always Be Heard" - Monaco - funny story behind that title, of course!
His German needed some work, but great singing.
