Giuseppe de Luca on Titta Ruffo Biographical notes: His real name was Ruffo Cafiero Titta. He was born in Pisa, the son of a metal worker, and grew up in poverty. For many years he travelled through Italy until he finally found a master who taught him the trade of an iron worker. Meanwhile his vocal talent had become evident and several mentors enabled him to study at the Academia di Santa Cecilia in Rome. He became a pupil of the famous Venceslao Persichini for a short time (who was by the way more interested in another of his pupils, Giuseppe de Luca). His debut took not place until 1898 (as the Herald in Lohengrin). In the subsequent years he toured the Italian provinces, singing leading r(les such as Rigoletto, Barnaba, Carlos and Rigoletto. Around the turn of the century his world career was on its way. He preferred to make guest appearances in the most important opera houses. He was triumphantly successful at Covent Garden, Egypt, South America and Imperial Russia. In 1905 he sang one of his most famous roles, Amleto in ThomasÆ opera. He sang this role at various opera houses and frequently the opera was staged only for him. He sang several times opposite Enrico Caruso but there are valid suggestions that Caruso used his influence to prevent Ruffo being invited to the Met and this notwithstanding good personal relations between the two singers. Therefore he made a rather late Met dTbut in 1922, a time when his voice was already in decline. Nevertheless he stayed until 1929. After terminating his career, he lived in Italy, but, as a vehement opponent of the Mussolini regime he was ostracised for many years (his brother-in-law was a socialist and was murdered by the fascists). Only at the end of his life he did enjoy a splendid rehabilitation. ôIn my lifetime there have been three miracles – Caruso, Ponselle and Ruffo. Apart from these there have been several wonderful singers.ö Tullio Serafin Nellie Melba: ôIÆm not singing with him. He is too young to be my father.ö Titta Ruffo (taking revenge): ôSheÆs too old to be my Gilda.ö Comment: Throughout his career, the artist was accompanied by the epithet of the ôsinging lion.ö The description fittet his appearance, his imposing Herculean figure, his mighty head with the ôLionÆs maneö – and, naturally his voice, which was of virtually incredible strength – a ôlionÆs voiceö indeed, as Lauri-Volpi put it significantly. When his refulgent voice turned wan and pale, the reviews spoke of the ôdying lionö and Ruffo himself said after he terminated his artistic career in 1936: ôThe lion is silent.ö (Preiser) RuffoÆs voice had something of a force of nature about it, something animalistic even. It was a singular phenomenon. His whole appearance was unique in the world of opera. Deep at heart Ruffo was, in fact, a naturalist and by no means a pure belcanto singer. His strength was the unbelievably rich volume in the highest range (which occasionally reached tenorial regions), the immediacy of tonal formation and thus an astonishing ability in ôparlandoö singing. This was offset by a certain huskiness in the lower range – a deficit that increased during the course of his career. As a singer Ruffo made full use of a ôcoloristicö palette. In his autobiography ôLa mia parabolaö he outlined how he mixed light, dark and irridating colors. My favorite recordings: – Rigoletto: All excerpts (Title role in Rigoletto / Verdi / Gramophone 1906/08) O vin, discaccia la tristezza (Title role in Hamlet / Thomas / Gramophone 1907/08/12 and Victor 1920) – Largo al factotum (Figaro in Il Barbiere di Siviglia / Rossini / Gramophone 1906 and 1912) – O monumento (Barnaba in La Gioconda / Ponchielli / Gramophone 1912) – Si pu=? (Tonio in Il Pagliacci / Leoncavallo / Gramophone 1912) – Credo in un Dio crudel (Iago in Otello / Verdi / Victor 1914) – Si per ciel marmoreo giuro with Enrico Caruso (Iago in Otello / Verdi / Victor 1914) – AllÆerta marinar (Nelusko in LÆAfricana / Meyerbeer / Victor 1915) – Urna fatale (Don Carlo in La Forza del Destino / Verdi / Victor 1915) – Adamstor, re delle acque profonde (Nelusko in LÆAfricana / Meyerbeer / Victor 1920) – Pauvre martyr obscur (Patrie / Victor 1920) ôI never knew how to sing, that is why my voice went by the time I was fifty. I have no right to capitalise on my former name and reputation and try to teach youngsters something I never knew how to do myself.ö Tita Ruffo More Great Records on sale right now: CLICK ON THIS LINK TO SEE MORE GREAT RECORDS CLICK ON THIS LINK TO SEE ALL ITEMS – VINTAGE BOOKS, VICTROLA and TURNTABLE ITEMS, CDs, Books and DVDs http://shop.ebay.com/carsten_sf/m.html ==== A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING: As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.
