PIERO CAPPUCCILI - Arias from I Puritani; La Favorita; Luisa Miller; Ernani; Un Ballo in Maschera; La Forza del Destino; La Traviata; Faust; Il Guarany; Andrea Chenier; Zaza, etc.: Piero Cappuccilli (baritone). Ten years have passed since Piero Cappuccilli’s definitive retirement from the stage. His electrifying career is probably best put in perspective when one reads what Gustavo Marchesi wrote in his book “Canto e Cantani” – “(Cappuccilli) was for at least two decades the only Italian baritone with truly great vocal means, thus able to sustain the classic roles of national opera, which he took to every theater in the world.” This disc celebrates that talent containing previously unreleased excerpts.

The arias included in this CD respect the chronological order in which the operas were composed. And the opera that follows Otello is Puccini’s La Bohème: three extracts recorded in the 1960s that reveal the truly golden-toned voice and spontaneous phrasing of the young Giacomini: “For me Rodolfo was one of the most congenial roles: along with Des Grieux, a part that I sang only very rarely, I felt that through the character I could give voice to my own inner life”. In another Puccini role - Cavaradossi in Tosca - we find further confirmation of the singer’s technical and expressive resources: the diminuendos that grace the vocal line in “E lucevan le stele” are worthy of the finest traditions of Italian song and yet we never feel that the voluptuous recollections of the character are being transformed into a mere display of tenorial vanity.

Neapolitan songs, the rich fruit of folk traditions, are not mainly an expression of the sentiments of the people of the great Parthenopean Nation that was the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. It was rather a means of survival that, for the entire nineteenth century and a good part of the twentieth, had musicians and singers at the service of the spectacle that Naples offered everywhere - in its squares and theatres, its coffee shops and along its narrow winding streets. This spectacle was offered to everyone - tourists and locals alike - when the capital of the magnificent Italian south was a holiday resort, but also a very busy seaport.
