Erst Käser, dann Kriegsgefangener: Der verstorbene italienische Startenor Carlo Bergonzi kam über Umwege zu seinem Ruhm - und das nicht wegen der Schönheit seiner Stimme.

An seiner Seite waren alle Damen glücklich
Eben noch feierte der epochale Verdi-Tenor Carlo Bergonzi seinen 90. Geburtstag. Jetzt ist der einzigartige Opernsänger gestorben. Er hinterlässt ein wunderbares Klangerbe für die Ewigkeit.
Er trat neben Maria Callas auf und eroberte als Radames in Verdis "Aida" die New Yorker "Met". Von 1958 bis 1964 wirkte der "Techniker des Belcanto" bei den Festspielen von Verona mit. Außerdem spielte er zahlreiche Schallplatten ein. Sein Repertoire umfasste mehr als 60 Rollen.

Bergonzi was a singer who might not have been as successful in today's opera world. On stage, he looked awkward, his physical acting of the grand-gesture, extend-your-arms variety. There was plenty of acting, however, in his voice: all of the tenderness and warmth and ardor in the world rang out in a sound that was at once golden and caressing, with a characteristic liquid slurring over the consonants, a slight lisp that emphasized the smoothness of the legato line.

Considered the foremost Verdi tenor of his age, Mr. Bergonzi sang more than 300 times with the Metropolitan Opera of New York from the 1950s to the '80s, appearing opposite a roster of celebrated divas that included Maria Callas, Risë Stevens, Victoria de los Angeles and Leontyne Price.

There was no finer interpreter of Donizetti's, Verdi's and Puccini's tenor roles throughout his long career than Carlo Bergonzi, who has died aged 90. His singing of all three composers' music evinced an innate sense of how to mould an immaculate line projected on a long breath, an exemplary clarity of diction, and an authoritative use of the particular style called for in interpreting a role.

Addio a Carlo Bergonzi tenore verdiano del secolo
Bergonzi termina la carriera artistica nel 1995 con una serie di concerti a Vienna, alla Carnegie Hall di New York, alla Scala di Milano ed al Theatre de l'Athénée di Parigi. Successivamente, a parte qualche sporadica esibizione, si dedica esclusivamente all'insegnamento del canto. Il 12 luglio scorso, data del suo novantesimo compleanno, il paese natale di verdi, Busseto, gli aveva reso omaggio con un concerto in piazza, diretto da Fabrizio Cassi, dell'Orchestra filarmonica italiana.
