歌剧笔记(八)

Opera Notes(8)

吉利的声音最早开始听歌剧是在上个世纪80年代初,说是听歌剧,其实是听歌剧咏叹调。因为电台限于时间,不可能播整出的歌剧。记得当时听得最多的是男高音斯苔芳诺的演唱,其他的还有马里奥·兰扎、尼科莱·盖达等,我不知道电台为什么总是反反复复地播放这些人的录音,现在想想,可能当时电台声乐的唱片并不多,只能反复使用。

Beniamiro Gigli and Lily Pons are vocal masters of the last century.Gigli passed away within two years after his last performance,sharing a similar fate as General Patton. Lily Pons was a star with a temperament totally different from Maria Callas.Pons was a fashion icon of her time,a favorite in high society salons.
