DetailsLebendige VergangenheitLike the great actors of the past, only some of the personalities who commanded the stage of opera history have been preserved in recordings. And just as the solemn, dignified speech of the great actors Alexander Moissi (1880-1935) and Josef Kainz (1858-1910) today seems more exaggerated than convincing, the recordings of the compelling singing actors of yesteryear, restricted as they are to the acoustic element, receive only modest applause from present-day critics, who judge them only on their merits as recorded. This applies particularly to Salvatore Baccaloni, whose feeling for musical drama was entirely concentrated on its effect in the space of theatre and on the stage action of the moment. He cared little for the delicate technology of a microphone. Born on 14 April 1900 in Rome, he received his musical training singing treble in the Sistine Chapel. He first studied architecture, but at the same time took singing instruction from the baritone Giuseppe Kaschmann. He performed in concert and in amateur productions before deciding on an operat

He made his professional debut as Bartolo in The Barber of Seville, at 's Teatro Adriano, in 1922. He sang for the first time at La Scala, , in 1926, in Ildebrando Pizzetti's Debora e Jaele. Initially, he performed the standard bass parts there, such as Raimondo in Lucia di Lammermoor and Sparafucile in Rigoletto. However, on the advice of La Scala's principal conductor, Arturo Toscanini, he decided to specialise in comic roles. He thus went on to make an indelible impression as Leporello in Don Giovanni, Dulcamara in L'elisir d'amore, the title character in Don Pasquale, Varlaam in Boris Godunov, the title character in Falstaff and the title character in Gianni Schicchi. Baccaloni also sang supporting roles such as Benoit in La bohème and the sacristan in Tosca, infusing them with a lot of humorous stage business. He created several operatic roles, t Copyright ©mobthaw.pages.dev 2025 |
