THE CREATOR OF Verdis OTELLO in 1887: Francesco Tamagno. Francesco Tamagno is with Adelina Patti one of the giants of the 19th century, who at the age of 60 made some famous recordings for G&T. You can hear on this record the voice of Tamagno, who CREATED the role of Otello for Verdi
Recorded in his retirement villa in Ospedaletti, Italy
G&T, Ospedaletti 1903-02-07 to 11
12-W-F.T. Otello (Verdi): Ora e per sempre addio (CR) (77)
G&T, Roma 1904-04
269i Otello (Verdi): Niun mi tema (CR)
The most famous dramatic tenor of his age, Tamagno was known for the extreme power of his voice - especially in the upper register - so much so that his voice was often compared to a trumpet. His particular genre of voice is called the tenore robusto. Best known as the creator of Verdi\'s Otello, he also was the first Gabriele Adorno in the revised version of Simon Boccanegra, a far more lyrical role. Other important operas he created include Ponchielli\'s Il Figliuol Prodigo and Marion Delorme. He was also famous for his appearances as Radames in Aida, the title role in Poliuto and Arnold in Guillaume Tell.
During the last decade of the 19th century he appeared not only in Italy, Iberia, and South America but also in New York, Chicago and London, setting a standard in singing which is still relevant today.

Quick noteon grading:
The Grade (Excellent to Poor, I don\'t give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately
When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to P), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
\"EXCEPTIONALLY QUIET\" is close to noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
\"VERY QUIET\" is anabove averagequiet record for a given pressing.
\"Quiet\" is a record that is a great example with some noise.
These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.
