I-Del Monaco ibhekwa kufanele njenge-tenor di forza yokugcina, izwi layo lenze inkazimulo ye-bel canto ekhulwini leminyaka elidlule futhi ilingana nezingcweti ezinkulu zekhulu lesi-XNUMX. Bambalwa ababengaqhathaniswa naye ngokwamandla omsindo nokubekezela, futhi akekho noyedwa, okuhlanganisa nomculi wase-Italy ovelele wengxenye yesibili yekhulu lesi-XNUMX, uFrancesco Tamagno, okuvame ukuqhathaniswa naye izwi elidumayo laseDel Monaco, ongakwazi ukumgcina. ubumsulwa obunjalo nobusha isikhathi eside kangaka. umsindo.

Ukucaciswa kwesethingi yezwi (ukusetshenziswa kwemivimbo emikhulu, i-pianissimo engacacile, ukubekelwa phansi kobuqotho bezwi ekudlaleni okuthinta inhliziyo) kunikeze umculi ingoma encane kakhulu, emangalisa kakhulu, okungukuthi ama-opera angu-36, lapho, nokho, afinyelela ukuphakama okuvelele. (izingxenye zika-Ernani, uHagenbach (“Valli” kaCatalani), uLoris (“Fedora” kaGiordano), uManrico, uSamson (“uSamsoni noDelila” kaSaint-Saens)), kanye nezingxenye zePollione (“Norma” ngo Bellini), Alvaro (“Force of Destiny” by Verdi), Faust (“Mephistopheles” by Boito ), Cavaradossi (Puccini’s Tosca), Andre Chenier (Giordano’s opera of the same name), Jose, Canio and Otello (ku-opera kaVerdi) yaba ngohamba phambili ku-repertoire yakhe, futhi ukusebenza kwabo kuyikhasi eliqhakazile emhlabeni wobuciko be-opera. Ngakho-ke, endimeni yakhe engcono kakhulu, u-Othello, u-Del Monaco wadlula bonke abanduleli bakhe, futhi kubonakala sengathi umhlaba awuzange ubone ukusebenza okungcono ngekhulu le-1955. Ngenxa yalesi ndima, okuyinto engafi igama lomculi, ngo-22 waklonyeliswa Golden Arena Prize, waklonyeliswa impumelelo evelele kakhulu opera art. Iminyaka engu-1950 (i-debut - 1972, Buenos Aires; ukusebenza kokugcina - 427, Brussels) I-Del Monaco yacula le ngxenye enzima kakhulu ye-tenor repertoire izikhathi ezingu-XNUMX, ibeka irekhodi elimangalisayo.

Kuzobaluleka futhi ukuqaphela ukuthi umculi cishe kuzo zonke izingxenye ze-repertoire yakhe uye wazuza inhlanganisela enhle kakhulu yokucula ngokomzwelo nokusebenza ngokusuka enhliziyweni, ephoqelela, ngokusho kwababukeli abaningi, ukuzwelana ngobuqotho nenhlekelele yabalingiswa bakhe. Ehlushwa ukuhlukunyezwa komphefumulo olimele, uCanio onesizungu, othandweni nowesifazane uJose odlala ngemizwa yakhe, evuma kakhulu ukufa kukaChenier, ekugcineni wanqotshwa icebo elikhohlisayo, uMoor onesibindi, othembekile - Del Monaco wakwazi veza yonke igamu yemizwa kokubili njengomculi nanjengomculi omkhulu.

I-Del Monaco yayinkulu ngokulinganayo njengomuntu. Nguye owathi ekupheleni kweminyaka engu-30 wanquma ukwenza inhlolokhono omunye wabantu ayejwayelene nabo, owayezozinikela ku-opera. Igama lakhe kwakunguRenata Tebaldi futhi inkanyezi yalo mculi omkhulu kwakuhloswe ukuba kukhanye ngokwengxenye ngoba uzakwabo, ngaleso sikhathi owayeseqalile kakade umsebenzi wedwa, wabikezela ikusasa elikhulu kuye. Kwaba noTebaldi lapho uDel Monaco ekhetha ukwenza ku-Othello yakhe ethandekayo, mhlawumbe ebona kuye umuntu osondelene naye ngohlamvu: i-opera enothando olungapheli, ehlala kuyo, ekwazi ukwenza noma yimuphi umhlatshelo ngayo, futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo ephethe i-opera ebanzi. imvelo nenhliziyo enkulu. NgoTebaldi, kwakuzolile: bobabili babazi ukuthi abalingani nokuthi isihlalo sobukhosi se-opera yomhlaba singesabo (okungenani ngaphakathi kwemingcele ye-repertoire yabo). I-Del Monaco yacula, yebo, nenye indlovukazi, uMaria Callas. Ngalo lonke uthando lwami ngoTebaldi, angikwazi kodwa ukuphawula ukuthi uNorma (1956, La Scala, Milan) noma u-André Chenier, owenziwa nguDel Monaco kanye noCallas, bayimisebenzi yobuciko. Ngeshwa, u-Del Monaco noTebaldi, ababefaneleka kahle njengabadwebi, ngaphandle kokuhlukana kwabo kwe-repertoire, nabo babelinganiselwe ngekhono labo lezwi: u-Renata, elwela ukuhlanzeka kwezwe, ngezinye izikhathi ama-nuances asondelene, wacwiliswa ukucula okunamandla kwe UMario, owayefuna ukuveza ngokugcwele okwakwenzeka emphefumulweni weqhawe lakhe. Nakuba, kwazi bani, kungenzeka ukuthi lokhu kwakuyincazelo engcono kakhulu, ngoba akunakwenzeka ukuthi uVerdi noma uPuccini babhale kuphela ukuze sizwe enye indima noma upiyano olwenziwa i-soprano, lapho umnumzane ocasuliwe efuna incazelo evela kothandekayo wakhe noma. iqhawe elikhulile livuma uthando nenkosikazi encane.

I-Del Monaco nayo yenza okuningi kwezobuciko be-operatic baseSoviet. Ngemva kokuvakasha ngo-1959, wanikeza inkundla yemidlalo yaseshashalazini yaseRussia ukuhlolwa okunomdlandla, ikakhulukazi, ephawula ubuchwepheshe obuphakeme kakhulu bukaPavel Lisitsian endimeni ka-Escamillo kanye namakhono okudlala amangalisayo ka-Irina Arkhipova endimeni kaCarmen. Okwakamuva kwaba umfutho wesimemo sika-Arkhipova sokuyodlala eNeapolitan San Carlo Theatre ngo-1961 endimeni efanayo kanye nohambo lokuqala lwaseSoviet eLa Scala Theatre. Kamuva, abaculi abaningi abasebasha, kuhlanganise uVladimir Atlantov, Muslim Magomaev, Anatoly Solovyanenko, Tamara Milashkina, Maria Bieshu, Tamara Sinyavskaya, waya internship at yaseshashalazini odumile futhi babuya lapho njengoba izikhulumi ezivelele esikoleni bel Canto.

Umsebenzi okhaliphile, onamandla kakhulu futhi onezigigaba ngokwedlulele we-tenor enkulu waphela, njengoba sekushiwo kakade, ngo-1975. Ziningi izincazelo zalokhu. Mhlawumbe, izwi lomculi likhathele kusukela eminyakeni engamashumi amathathu nesithupha yokuzikhandla ngokweqile (uDel Monaco ngokwakhe ezincwadini zakhe wathi unezintambo ze-bass futhi usaphatha umsebenzi wakhe we-tenor njengesimangaliso; futhi indlela yokwehlisa i-larynx inyusa ukungezwani izintambo zezwi), nakuba amaphephandaba ngobusuku bangaphambi kweminyaka engamashumi ayisithupha yomculi aphawula ukuthi ngisho namanje izwi lakhe lingaphula ingilazi yekristalu ebangeni elingamamitha ayi-10. Kungenzeka ukuthi umculi ngokwakhe wayekhathele yi-repertoire eyisidina kakhulu. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kwenzekani, ngemva kuka-1975 uMario Del Monaco wafundisa futhi waqeqesha inani labafundi abahle kakhulu, kuhlanganise ne-baritone manje edumile uMauro Augustini. UMario Del Monaco washona ngo-1982 edolobheni laseMestre eduze kwaseVenice, engakaze akwazi ukululama ngokuphelele engozini yemoto. Wacela ukuba azingcwabe imvunulo ka-Othello, mhlawumbe efisa ukuvela phambi kweNkosi ngesimo somuntu, njengaye, owayephila impilo yakhe, esemandleni emizwa yaphakade.

Esikhathini eside ngaphambi kokuba umculi ashiye esiteji, ukubaluleka okuvelele kwethalenta likaMario Del Monaco emlandweni wobuciko obudlalwayo emhlabeni wonke kwaqashelwa ngazwi linye. Ngakho-ke, ngesikhathi sokuvakasha eMexico, wabizwa ngokuthi "i-tenor ephawulekayo yabaphilayo", futhi uBudapest wamphakamisa waze wafinyelela ezingeni le-tenor enkulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni. Useke wadlala cishe kuwo wonke amathiyetha amakhulu emhlabeni, kusukela eColon Theatre eBuenos Aires kuya eTokyo Opera.

Ekuqaleni komsebenzi wakhe, ezibekele umgomo wokuthola indlela yakhe kwezobuciko, futhi angabi enye ye-epigones eminingi ye-Beniamino Gigli enkulu, owabe ephethe umkhathi we-opera, uMario Del Monaco wagcwalisa isithombe ngasinye sesiteji sakhe. ngemibala emisha, wathola indlela yakhe siqu engxenyeni ngayinye eculwa futhi wahlala enkumbulweni yezibukeli nabalandeli bokuqhuma, ukuchoboza, ukuhlupheka, okuvutha ilangabi lothando - uMdwebi Omkhulu.

I-discography yomculi inkulu kakhulu, kodwa phakathi kwalezi zinhlobonhlobo ngithanda ukuphawula ukuqoshwa kwe-studio yezingxenye (iningi lazo laqoshwa ngu-Decca): - U-Loris ku-Fedora ka-Giordano (1969, i-Monte Carlo; i-choir ne-orchestra ye-Monte Carlo Opera, umbhidisi – Lamberto Gardelli (Gardelli); endimeni yesihloko – Magda Oliveiro, De Sirier – Tito Gobbi); – Hagenbach in Catalani’s “Valli” (1969, Monte-Carlo; Monte-Carlo Opera Orchestra, Conductor Fausto Cleva (Cleva); endimeni yesihloko – Renata Tebaldi, Stromminger – Justino Diaz, Gellner – Piero Cappuccili); – Alvaro in “Force of Destiny” by Verdi (1955, Rome; choir and orchestra of the Academy of Santa Cecilia, conductor – Francesco Molinari-Pradelli (Molinari-Pradelli); Leonora – Renata Tebaldi, Don Carlos – Ettore Bastianini); – Canio in Pagliacci by Leoncavallo (1959, Rome; orchestra and choir of Academy of Santa Cecilia, conductor – Francesco Molinari-Pradelli; Nedda – Gabriella Tucci, Tonio – Cornell MacNeil, Silvio – Renato Capecchi); - Othello (1954; i-orchestra kanye nekwaya ye-Academy of Santa Cecilia, umqhubi - Alberto Erede (Erede); Desdemona - Renata Tebaldi, Iago - Aldo Protti).

Kukhona nokuqoshwa “bukhoma” kwama-opera ngokubamba iqhaza kukaMario Del Monaco, phakathi kwawo akhanga kakhulu yiPagliacci (1961; Radio Japan Orchestra, umbhidisi - Giuseppe Morelli; Nedda - Gabriella Tucci, Tonio - Aldo Protti, Silvio - Attilo D 'Orazi).

U-Albert Galeev, ngo-2002

U-I. Ryabova uyabhala: “Omunye wabaculi banamuhla abavelele, wayenekhono lokucula eliyivelakancane. “Izwi lakhe, elinohlu olubanzi, amandla amangalisayo nokunotha, elinomsindo ophansi kanye namanothi aphakeme acwebezelayo, lihlukile nge-timbre. Ubuciko obuhlakaniphile, umuzwa wesitayela ocashile nobuciko bokulingisa buvumele iciko ukuthi lenze izingxenye ezihlukahlukene ze-operatic repertoire. Ikakhulukazi eduze neDel Monaco izingxenye ezinobuqhawe nezibuhlungu kuma-opera aseVerdi, Puccini, Mascagni, Leoncavallo, Giordano. Impumelelo enkulu yeciko indima ka-Otello ku-opera ka-Verdi, eyenziwa ngentshiseko yesibindi kanye neqiniso elijulile lengqondo.

UMario Del Monaco wazalelwa eFlorence ngo-July 27, 1915. Kamuva wakhumbula: “Ubaba nomama bangifundisa ukuthanda umculo kusukela ebuntwaneni, ngaqala ukucula kusukela ngineminyaka eyisikhombisa noma eyisishiyagalombili. Ubaba wayengafundile emculweni, kodwa wayewazi kahle kakhulu ubuciko bephimbo. Wayephupha ukuthi enye yamadodana akhe izoba umculi odumile. Futhi waze waqamba izingane zakhe ngamaqhawe e-opera: mina - Mario (ngokuhlonishwa kweqhawe elithi "Tosca"), nomfowethu omncane - uMarcello (ngokuhlonishwa kukaMarcel ovela "La Boheme"). Ekuqaleni, ukukhetha kukababa kwawela kuMarcello; wayekholelwa ukuthi umfowabo uzuze ifa likanina. Ubaba wake wathi kuye ngikhona: “Uzocula u-Andre Chenier, uzoba nebhantshi elihle namabhuzu anezithende eziphakeme.” Eqinisweni, nganginomona kakhulu ngomfowethu ngaleso sikhathi.

Umfana wayeneminyaka eyishumi lapho umkhaya uthuthela ePesaro. Omunye wothisha bendawo yokucula, owahlangana noMario, wakhuluma ngendlela eyamukelekayo ngamakhono akhe okucula. Ukudumisa kwanezela isasasa, futhi uMario waqala ukutadisha ngenkuthalo izingxenye ze-opera.

Kakade eneminyaka eyishumi nantathu, waqala ukucula ngesikhathi kuvulwa indawo yeshashalazi eMondolfo, idolobhana elingumakhelwane. Ngokuphathelene nokuqala kukaMario endimeni eyisihloko engosini ye-opera kaMassenet ethi Narcisse, umgxeki wabhala ephephandabeni lendawo: “Uma umfana egcina izwi lakhe, kunesizathu esizwakalayo sokukholelwa ukuthi uzoba umculi ovelele.

Lapho eneminyaka eyishumi nesithupha, u-Del Monaco wayeseyazi ama-arias amaningi okusebenza. Kodwa-ke, eneminyaka eyishumi nesishiyagalolunye kuphela, uMario waqala ukufunda ngokujulile - ePesar Conservatory, noMaestro Melocchi.

“Ngesikhathi sihlangana, uMelokki wayeneminyaka engamashumi amahlanu nane. Endlini yakhe kwakukhona abahlabeleli, futhi phakathi kwabo kwakukhona abadumile kakhulu, ababevela emhlabeni wonke ukuze bathole iseluleko. Ngikhumbula sihamba isikhathi eside ndawonye emigwaqweni emaphakathi yasePesaro; umaestro wayehamba ezungezwe abafundi. Wayephana. Akazange athathe imali yezifundo zakhe zangasese, kuphela ngezikhathi ezithile evuma ukuthi aphuze ikhofi. Lapho omunye wabafundi bakhe ekwazi ukuhlanzeka nangokuzethemba umsindo omuhle omuhle, ukudabuka kwaphela isikhashana emehlweni e-maestro. "Lapha! ebabaza. “I-b-flat yekhofi yangempela!”

Izinkumbulo zami eziyigugu kakhulu zokuphila kwami ​​ePesaro yilezo zikaMaestro Melocchi.”

Impumelelo yokuqala yale nsizwa kwaba ukuhlanganyela kwayo emqhudelwaneni wabaculi abancane eRoma. Lo mncintiswano ubuhanjelwe abaculi abangu-180 abavela kulo lonke elase-Italy. Udlala i-arias ka-Giordano ethi “André Chénier”, “Arlesienne” ka-Cilea kanye nezothando ezidumile zika-Nemorino “Her Pretty Eyes” ezivela ku-L'elisir d'amore, u-Del Monaco ubephakathi kwabawinile abahlanu. Lo mculi obesafisa ukuthola umfundaze owamnika ilungelo lokufunda esikoleni eRome Opera House.

Kodwa-ke, lezi zifundo azizange zizuze i-Del Monaco. Ngaphezu kwalokho, inqubo eyasetshenziswa uthisha wakhe omusha yaholela eqinisweni lokuthi izwi lakhe laqala ukufiphala, lalahlekelwa ukuzungeza kwalo komsindo. Ezinyangeni eziyisithupha kuphela kamuva, lapho ebuyela e-Maestro Melocchi, waphinde wathola izwi lakhe.

Ngokushesha uDel Monaco wabuthelwa ebuthweni lezempi. “Kodwa ngaba nenhlanhla,” kukhumbula umculi. - Ngenhlanhla kimi, iyunithi yethu yayalelwa uColonel - umthandi omkhulu wokucula. Wangitshela: “Del Monaco, uzocula nakanjani.” Futhi wangivumela ukuba ngiye edolobheni, lapho ngaqasha khona upiyano oludala ukuze ngiqhube izifundo zami. Umkhuzi wophiko akagcinanga ngokuvumela isosha elinekhono ukuba licule, kodwa futhi wamnika ithuba lokucula. Ngakho, ngo-1940, edolobheni elincane laseCalli eduze kwasePesaro, uMario waqala ukucula ingxenye yeTuriddu kuP. Mascagni's Rural Honor.

Kodwa isiqalo sangempela somsebenzi wokucula weciko sisukela ngo-1943, lapho enza okokuqala okugqamile esiteji sethiyetha kaMilan iLa Scala eLa Boheme kaG. Puccini. Ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho, wacula ingxenye ka-André Chénier. W. Giordano, owayekhona kulo mdlalo, wanikeza lo mculi isithombe sakhe esibhalwe ukuthi: “KuChenier wami othandekayo.”

Ngemva kwempi, i-Del Monaco yaziwa kabanzi. Ngempumelelo enkulu, wenza njengoRadames ovela ku-Verdi's Aida kuMkhosi we-Verona Arena. Ekwindla ka-1946, i-Del Monaco yavakashela phesheya okokuqala njengengxenye yeqembu le-Neapolitan Theatre "San Carlo". UMario ucula esiteji seCovent Garden yaseLondon eTosca, La Boheme, Madama Butterfly kaPuccini, Mascagni's Rustic Honor kanye nePagliacci kaR. Leoncavallo.

“… Ngonyaka olandelayo, ka-1947, kwaba unyaka oyirekhodi kimi. Ngacula izikhathi ezingu-107, ngicula kanye ezinsukwini ezingu-50 izikhathi ezingu-22, futhi ngahamba ngisuka eNyakatho Yurophu ngiya eNingizimu Melika. Ngemva kweminyaka yobunzima namashwa, konke kwabonakala kuyiphupho nje. Ngabe sengithola inkontileka emangalisayo yokuvakasha eBrazil ngemali emangalisayo ngalezo zikhathi - ama-lire ayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amane namashumi ayisikhombisa ngokudlala ...

Ngo-1947 ngacula nakwamanye amazwe. Edolobheni laseBelgium iCharleroi, ngangiculela abavukuzi base-Italy. E-Stockholm ngenze i-Tosca ne-La bohème ngokubamba iqhaza kuka-Tito Gobbi no-Mafalda Favero…

Izinkundla zeshashalazi sezingiphonsele inselelo. Kodwa angikadlali ne-Toscanini okwamanje. Lapho ngibuya e-Geneva, lapho ngacula khona ku-Masquerade Ball, ngahlangana no-maestro Votto endaweni yokudlela yase-Biffy Scala, futhi wathi uhlose ukuphakamisa isikhundla sami ku-Toscanini ukuze abambe iqhaza ekhonsathini elinikezelwe ukuvulwa kweshashalazi esanda kubuyiselwa i-La Scala. “…

Ngavela okokuqala esiteji semidlalo yaseshashalazini yaseLa Scala ngo-January 1949. Ngenza i-“Manon Lescaut” ngaphansi kokuqondisa kukaVotto. Ezinyangeni ezimbalwa kamuva, uMaestro De Sabata wangimema ukuthi ngicule emdlalweni we-opera u-André Chénier enkumbulweni ka-Giordano. URenata Tebaldi udlale nami, owaba yinkanyezi yeLa Scala ngemuva kokubamba iqhaza noToscanini ekhonsathini kuvulwa kabusha indawo yeshashalazi ... "

Unyaka we-1950 walethela umculi okukodwa kokunqoba okubaluleke kakhulu kobuciko kumlando wakhe wobuciko eColon Theatre eBuenos Aires. Umdwebi udlale okokuqala njengo-Otello ku-opera ye-Verdi yegama elifanayo futhi waheha izethameli hhayi kuphela ngokucula okumnandi, kodwa nangesinqumo sokulingisa esimangalisayo. isithombe. Ukubuyekezwa kwabagxeki kuvumelana ngazwi linye: “Indima ka-Othello eyenziwa nguMario Del Monaco izohlala ibhalwe ngezinhlamvu zegolide emlandweni weColon Theatre.”

Kamuva uDel Monaco wakhumbula: “Nomaphi lapho engangicula khona, yonke indawo babebhala ngami njengomculi, kodwa akekho owathi ngiwumculi. Ngisilwele isikhathi eside lesi sicoco. Futhi uma bengifanele ngenxa yokusebenza kwengxenye ye-Othello, ngokusobala, ngisazuze okuthile.

Ngemva kwalokhu, uDel Monaco waya e-United States. Ukusebenza komculi ku- "Aida" esiteji seSan Francisco Opera House kwaba yimpumelelo yokunqoba. Impumelelo entsha yatholwa nguDel Monaco ngoNovemba 27, 1950, enza iDes Grieux eManon Lescaut eMetropolitan. Omunye wababuyekezi baseMelika wabhala: “Umdwebi akagcini nje ngokuba nezwi elihle, kodwa futhi ubonakala esiteji, umzimba omncane omncane, ongeyena wonke umuntu odumile ongaziqhayisa ngawo. Irejista ephezulu yezwi lakhe yanika izethameli ugesi ngokuphelele, ezabona ngokushesha uDel Monaco njengomculi wezinga eliphezulu kakhulu. Ufinyelele ukuphakama kwangempela esenzweni sokugcina, lapho ukusebenza kwakhe kwabamba ihholo ngamandla abuhlungu.

“Ngeminyaka yawo-50 no-60, lo mculi wayevame ukuvakashela amadolobha ahlukahlukene eYurophu naseMelika,” kubhala u-I. Ryabova. - Iminyaka eminingi ngesikhathi esisodwa wayedlala indawo yokuqala yezigcawu ezimbili eziphambili ze-opera yomhlaba - iLa Scala kaMilan kanye neMetropolitan Opera yaseNew York, ehlanganyela ngokuphindaphindiwe emidlalweni evula amasizini amasha. Ngokwesiko, imidlalo enjalo inentshisekelo ethile emphakathini. I-Del Monaco icule ezinhlelweni eziningi ezikhumbulekayo ezilalelini zaseNew York. Abalingani bakhe babeyizinkanyezi zobuciko bezwi lomhlaba: uMaria Callas, uGiulietta Simionato. Futhi nomculi omangalisayo u-Renata Tebaldi Del Monaco wayenobudlelwane obukhethekile bokudala - ama-performance ahlangene amaciko amabili avelele ahlala ewumcimbi empilweni yomculo wedolobha. Ababuyekezi bababize ngokuthi “indondo yegolide ye-opera yase-Italy”.

Ukufika kukaMario Del Monaco eMoscow ehlobo lika-1959 kwavusa isithakazelo esikhulu phakathi kwabathandi bobuciko bezwi. Futhi okwakulindelwe amaMuscovites kwakunesizathu esiphelele. Esiteji seBolshoi Theatre, iDel Monaco yenza izingxenye zikaJose eCarmen naseCanio ePagliacci ngokulingana okulinganayo.

Impumelelo yomculi ngalezo zinsuku iyanqoba ngempela. Lokhu ukuhlola okunikezwa ekuculweni kwesivakashi sase-Italy ngumculi odumile u-EK Katulskaya. “Amakhono avelele e-Del Monaco ephimbo ahlanganiswe kwezobuciko bakhe nekhono elimangalisayo. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi umculi uphumelela kangakanani, izwi lakhe alilokothi lilahlekelwe umsindo walo ocwebezelayo ocwebezelayo, ukuthambile nobuhle be-timbre, ukugqama okuhlabayo. Lihle njengoba nje izwi lakhe le-mezzo futhi likhanya, ligijimela kalula egumbini lepiyano. Ubungcweti bokuphefumula, okunikeza umculi ukwesekwa okumangalisayo komsindo, umsebenzi womsindo ngamunye kanye negama - lezi izisekelo zokuphatha kukaDel Monaco, yilokhu okumvumela ukuba anqobe ngokukhululekile ubunzima obukhulu bezwi; sengathi ubunzima be-tessitura abukho kuye. Uma ulalela iDel Monaco, kubonakala sengathi izinsiza zendlela yakhe yokukhuluma azipheli.

Kodwa iqiniso liwukuthi ikhono lobuchwepheshe lomculi lingaphansi ngokuphelele emisebenzini yobuciko ekusebenzeni kwakhe.

UMario Del Monaco ungumculi wangempela nomkhulu: isimo sakhe sesiteji esikhazimulayo siphucuzwa ukunambitheka nekhono; imininingwane emincane kakhulu yokusebenza kwakhe kwephimbo nesiteji kucatshangelwa ngokucophelela. Futhi engifuna ukukugcizelela ikakhulukazi ukuthi ungumculi omangalisayo. Ngamunye wemisho yakhe uhlukaniswa nobunzima befomu lomculo.
