TREMENDOUS SINGING!!! Leopoldo Signoretti 1846 - 1915 Compilation of the UNDERRATED Italian tenor

ONE OF MY FAVORITE ITALIAN TENORS ON RECORD!!!! 0:00 Di pescator ignobile from Donizetti's Lucrezia Borgia 2:20 Quando le sere al placido from Verdi's Luisa Miller 6:16 Tutto ora tace intorno, Solingo errante misero from Verdi's Ernani 9:10 O tu che in seno agli angeli from Verdi's La forza del destino THE END :) In 1875, he made his debut at the Teatro Solís in Montevideo as Almaviva in Il barbiere di Siviglia. He enjoyed a significant career and, in 1900, performed at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome in L’ebrea, Lucia di Lammermoor, L’elisir d’amore, and Il barbiere di Siviglia. In his later years, he transitioned to singing comprimario roles. After retiring from the stage, he became a vocal teacher, counting among his students the baritone Rizzardo Da Ferrara and the renowned Spanish tenor Hipólito Lázaro. Leopoldo Signoretti's birth date ranges from 1840 to 1850, the former seeming more plausible. His earliest traced performances were in Il barbiere di Siviglia at the Teatro Solis, Montevideo in May 1875. In 1884 he went to Bologna for Tannhäuser and the world premiere of Isora di Provenza by Luigi Mancinelli. At Madrid, in the 1884-1885 season he sang La Gioconda, Faust, Aida, L’Africana, Lucia di Lammermoor (with Sembrich and Battistini), Il principe di Viana (Manuel Fernandez Grajal), Il trovatore, Ernani, Un ballo in maschera, and Lohengrin. He recorded only five documented Zonophone sides, and in many ways, these are the most impressive of this quartet of early Italian tenors.
