Top 5 Rodrigos
1. Ettore Bastianini because of course
2. Mario Sereni
3. Paolo Silveri
4. Mariusz Kwiecień and Etienne Dupuis*
5. Tito Gobbi
#*to be entirely fair. I don't think (especially in Mariusz's case) the role suits them vocally especially in the heavier parts#(though Mariusz gets a big gold star for his amazing showstopping etc trills + singing that last phrase in the quartett in falsetto)#if i were to *only listen* to the opera id probably skip them. BUT.#both of them have put their entire goddamn pussy into delivering us the gayest and suave and heartwrenching Rodrigo#and i could (and have) look(ed) at them playing him for hours on end and never get bored and every time have my heart broken in pieces#so they absolutely belong on this list. bless them. i will never not lament over the fact that Mariusz quit singing and withdrew from that#roh don carlo that was supposed to have fabiano and furlanetto (and i think even rachvelishvili) in the cast too. but it was 2020#so it wouldn't have taken place anyway since. oh well.#Sereni and Silveri have two of the most beautiful baritone voices I've ever heard and honestly they fit Posa so well. Sereni especially.#he acts so well with his voice. he's so passive-aggresively suave with eboli in the letter trio and so energetic and agitated in restate.#i really really love his rodrigo. the recording also features Corelli (whom i love to the moon and back but i wanna strangle him when#he goes for the high C at the end of his moments with Rodrigo instead of going down with him and finishing on the same note together)#and Hines who is an amazing Filippo. and one of the very best Ebolis Ive ever heard. Irene Dalis. she's THE star of this recording honestly#and it would be one of the greatest Don Carlo recordings ever if not for the Elisabetta who sucks so much like honestly. eww.#and Gobbi. Im not his greatest fan in general but he clearly wants to fuck Rodrigo and it shows in his singing so. A+#also his Rodrigo is so overwhelmingly gentle and so elegant and makes me wanna ashsjsdk i really just want to kiss his forehead and hug him#Bastianini I don't need to explain ofc#don carlo#ask
