"Nemico della Patria"

Carlo Gérard - Aldo Protti

Andrea Chénier - Act III
Tokyo, 1961
c. Franco Capuana
NHK Symphony Orchestra


Another in my series of Aldo Protti uploads, this from the famous 1961 production of Andrea Chenier production with Del Monaco as Chenier and Tebaldi as Maddalena. This excerpt shows the effortlessness with which Protti sang through the passaggio and the clarity of his voice throughout his entire range---never muddy, never overdark, always true to the instrument and always focused.
