Piero Cappuccili

ʻO Piero Cappuccili, "ke aliʻi o baritones," ma ke ʻano he poʻe hoʻohewa e makemake e hoʻopaʻa inoa i nā mea āpau a kāhea pinepine ʻia nā mea a pau iā ia, ua hānau ʻia ma Trieste ma Nowemapa 9, 1929, i loko o ka ʻohana o kahi luna moku. Ua hāʻawi aku kona makuakāne iā ia i ka makemake i ke kai: ʻo ka baritone i kaulana ma hope mai ua kamaʻilio me ka hauʻoli wale nō e pili ana i nā leo nui o ka wā i hala a me kāna waʻa kaʻa aloha. Mai koʻu wā liʻiliʻi ua noʻonoʻo wau i ka ʻoihana o kahi mea kākau. ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi iā mākou, ʻaʻole i keʻakeʻa koʻu makuakāne i ka makemake hope e aʻo i ka hīmeni. Ua aʻo ʻo Piero ma lalo o ke alakaʻi ʻana a Luciano Donaggio ma kona kūlanakauhale hānau. Ua hana ʻo ia i kāna hana mua ma ka makahiki iwakāluakūmāwalu ma ka New Theatre ma Milan, ʻo Tonio ma Pagliacci. Ua lanakila ʻo ia i nā hoʻokūkū aupuni hanohano ma Spoleto a me Vercelli - ua ulu kāna ʻoihana "e like me ka mea e pono ai." ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu ka hoʻomaka ʻana ma La Scala: i ka makahiki 1963-64, ua hoʻokani ʻo Cappuccili ma ke kahua o ka hale kiʻiʻoniʻoni kaulana ʻo Count di Luna ma Verdi's Il trovatore. I ka makahiki 1969, ua lanakila ʻo ia iā ʻAmelika ma ke kahua o ka Metropolitan Opera. He kanakolukumamāono mau makahiki, mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana o Milan a hiki i ka hopena pōʻino o ka hana ma ke ala kaʻa ʻo Milan-Venice, ua piha i nā lanakila. Ma ke kanaka o Cappuccili, ua loaʻa i ka leo leo o ke kenekulia iwakālua ka mea hoʻokani maikaʻi o ka mele Italia o ke kenekulia i hala - a ma luna o nā mele a Verdi.

Poina ʻole ʻo Nabucco, Charles V (“Ernani”), kahiko Doge Foscari (“Two Foscari”), Macbeth, Rigoletto, Germont, Simon Boccanegra, Rodrigo (“Don Carlos”), Don Carlos (“Force of Destiny”), Amonasro, ʻO Iago , Cappuccili ma luna o nā mea a pau he leo nui a nui. I kēia manawa ke hoʻopuka pinepine nei ka mea loiloi i nā hoʻomaikaʻi languid no ka maikaʻi ʻole o ka nānā ʻana, ka hana haʻahaʻa, ka ʻakaʻaka, ke mele o ka poʻe e hana ana ma ke kahua keaka, a me nā mea a pau no ka mea ʻaʻole i loaʻa i ka mea loiloi ka mea nui loa - kona leo. ʻAʻole ia i ʻōlelo ʻia e pili ana i ka Cappuccili: he leo piha a ikaika, ʻo ke kala ʻeleʻele nani, akaka. Ua ʻōlelo ʻia kāna ʻōlelo ʻōlelo: ʻo ka mea mele ponoʻī i ʻōlelo iā ia "ʻo ke mele ʻo ia ke ʻōlelo me ka hīmeni ʻana." Ua hoʻohewa kekahi i ka mea mele no ka naʻauao ʻole. Malia paha e ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka ʻōlelo ʻana i ka ikaika elemental, ʻo ka manawaleʻa o kāna hana. ʻAʻole i mālama ʻo Cappuccili iā ia iho, ʻaʻole i mālama i kona ikaika: i kēlā me kēia manawa e piʻi ai ʻo ia i ke kahua, hāʻawi ʻo ia i ka lehulehu me ka nani o kona leo a me ke kuko āna i hoʻokomo ai i ka hana o nā kuleana. “ʻAʻole au i loaʻa i ka makaʻu kahua. Hāʻawi ke kahua iaʻu i ka hauʻoli, "wahi āna.

ʻAʻole wale ʻo ia he Verdi baritone. ʻO Escamillo maikaʻi loa ma Carmen, Scarpia ma Tosca, Tonio ma Pagliacci, Ernesto ma Pirate, Enrico ma Lucia di Lammermoor, De Sirier ma Fedora, Gellner ma Valli, Barnaba ma Gioconda ”, Don Giovanni lāua ʻo Figaro i nā opera a Mozart. ʻO Cappuccili ka baritone punahele a Claudio Abbado lāua ʻo Herbert von Karajan. Ma La Scala no iwakālua makahiki ʻaʻohe ona hoa paio.

Ua lohe ʻia ua hīmeni ʻo ia i ʻelua haneli hana i ka makahiki. ʻOiaʻiʻo, he hoʻonui kēia. ʻAʻole ʻoi aku ka nui o ka mea pena kiʻi ma mua o kanawalukūmālima a i kanaiwa mau hana. ʻO ka hoʻomanawanui leo kona ikaika. Ma mua o ka hanana pōʻino, mālama ʻo ia i kahi ʻano maikaʻi loa.

Ma ke ahiahi o ʻAukake 28, 1992, ma hope o ka hoʻolewa ʻana ma Nabucco, e holo ana ʻo Cappuccili ma ke kaʻaahi, e hele ana i Monte Carlo. ʻO ke kumu o ka huakaʻi he hui ʻē aʻe me ke kai, ʻo ia, he kamaʻāina ʻo Trieste, i loko o kona koko. Makemake au e hoʻolimalima i hoʻokahi mahina me kaʻu moku kaʻa punahele. ʻAʻole naʻe i mamao loa mai Bergamo, ua huli ke kaʻa o ka mea mele, a ua kiola ʻia ʻo ia i waho o ke keʻena kaʻa. Ua paʻi ikaika ʻo Cappuccili i kona poʻo, akā ʻaʻole pilikia kona ola. Ua maopopo ka poʻe a pau e ola koke ʻo ia, akā ʻokoʻa ke ola. Noho ka mea mele i kahi kūlana semi-conscious no ka manawa lōʻihi. Ua ola ʻo ia i hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai, ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻi i ke kahua. ʻO ka hōkū o ke kahua keaka, ʻo Piero Cappuccili, ua pau ka ʻālohilohi ʻana i ka lewa opera he ʻumikumamākolu makahiki ma mua o kona haʻalele ʻana i kēia ao. Ua make ka mea mele Cappuccili - ua hānau ʻia kahi kumu leo.

Nui ʻo Pierrot! ʻAʻohe ou mea like! Hoʻopau i kāna ʻoihana ʻo Renato Bruzon (ʻoi aku ma mua o kanahiku), ʻoi aku ka nani o Leo Nucci - i kanaonokumamāhiku mau makahiki. Me he mea lā ma hope o ka pau ʻana o kēia mele ʻelua, e hoʻomanaʻo wale ana ke ʻano o ka baritone.
