i will never forget you, maestro sinopoli. too young.

Giuseppe Sinopoli, indimenticato orgoglio nazionale, fu come Wagner prima di lui direttore di questa antica e prestigiosa istituzione orchestrale. Grande gusto, tecnica direttoriale, sensibilità musicale. Grazie per aver postato questo bel documento della sua arte.

Grandissimo Sinopoli! Perfetto connubio orchestra tedesca e direttore italiano.

Grande, grandissimo, immortale Sinopoli!

Excellent performance of Guiseppe Sinopoli. The work of Richard Wagner, "Rienzi, the last tribune", shows us the young protagonist who rises up against the tyranny of a fraction of nobles and manages to create a strong, just and honest state. He is acclaimed by the people and the defeated nobles whom he forgives, they also swear allegiance to him, obtaining also the support of the church. However, those same nobles conspire against him and finally, the people, deceived again by their tricks, turn against Rienzi whom the church also withdraws its support. Finally, Rienzi perishes under the ruins of the capitol burned down by his vilely deceived people.

Toni was simply born 10 -15 years to early
With his high notes and the lyrical spinto voice he would have made a world star singing in the revivals of the Bel canto Operas of Donizetti and Rossini
I worked with him many times and even in the 80’s his high notes where precise and strong
RIP Toni you will always be in my ears and heart

the greatest Wagner - Rienzi overture ever. It's a tragedy that he had to go that early...

Genio... scomparso davvero troppo presto....!

This sounds almost frivolous compared to a typical Wagner music, but one can already hear echoes of the Flying Dutchman in this, IMO.
