Leo Nucci--
He is the easiest to love, not only does he seem the most natural, but he is also the most entertaining to watch. His notes come out in a very consistent tone throughout the high's and low's of his melodic interpretations.
Tito Gobbi--
The first thing I notice is the weirdness with his 'la's'. In addition to the [a] vowels throughout the piece being wholly inconsistent. Also, it's easy to notice that a lot of the understandably more open o's become much more closed off. Some of the phrases aren't even sung.
Mario del Monaco--
One can't help but be amused by this singer and his unique style. His [a] vowels were really inconsistent during the la's. Overall, he tends to bark out a lot of the notes. I really would love to meet with the person who taught him his hand gestures and movements... but movements like that... may simple be impossible to teach.
