He is a buffo in the tradition of Montarsolo, Capecchi, Dara and Corbelli. Very funny Bartolo and his patter singing is perfect. RIP Maestro!
Now this is very sad. Alberto was a wonderful man and colleague and very amusing to boot. He can’t have been that old, surely?
Indeed. Rinaldi was a fine Belcore at Covent Garden in the early ’80s and later sang Enrico in Lucia there.
