Giuseppe Giacomini CD

 for fans and admirers
A nice selection of arias for this proverbially spectacular voice. Maybe this style of singing is out-dated and may seem brute and all-to carnal to modern listeners, too sportive. His baritonal timbre that's never mellow becomes radiantly narrow but remains almost beefy in higher register, but he manages well to fill lyrical parts with soul and intelligence (...and with at times unbearable sobs and way too many unelegant 'coughy' phrase-endings due to a very forceful yet highly impressive breathing technique). Perhaps all you can do - despite all justified criticism - is simply enjoy this recording and this outstanding voice as what it is - a document of an era now irrevocably gone.
