Fino a questo momento sono stati riversati in microsolco 33 giri molti brani di opere tratti da dischi 78 giri, mentre delle relative matrici, passate dalla Vocalion ad altre case minori, non né restano traccia, perchè in parte distrutte. Disponibili attualmente due dischi 33 giri il cui risultato non è del tutto soddisfacente. Il primo di questi è quello realizzato dalla TIMA CLUB di Roma mpv 2, con la collaborazione di Maurizio Tiberi èuna presentazione del baritono Tito Gobbi che ricorda Giulio Crimi, e quindi rievoca con poche parole la figura prestigiosa ed artistica del Cantore di matrice di ogni disco 78 cosicchè nel caso di varie esecuzioni dello stesso brano in epoche diverse, riesce difficile a stabilire quale di essi è stato scelto e riportato in microsolco; vi si comprendono dunque brani dell'Africana, Manon Lescaut, Boheme,Tosca, Zazà, Favorita, Rigoletto e Trovatore; in aggiunta «Ninna nanna» di Tirindelli, e la celebre canzone napoletana «O sole mio». L’ascolto di questo disco è molto precario anche se di più lo erano le antiche matrici e i relativi 78 giri; qui la voce del nostro Crimi risalta poco a causa del persistente fruscio e delle distorsioni che si manifestano in quasi tutta la gamma vocale cosicché l'unico elemento valido resta il timbro morbido e squillante, nonché la robustezza del fraseggio, soprattutto l'interpretazione molto ragguardevole che riesce spesso a commuovere l'ascoltatore; il numero dei suoni armonici degli acuti viene notevolmente ridotto così togliendo molto al colore della voce. Il secondo disco, invece, GV 521, realizzato in Inghilterra. sembra più felice nel risultato. Anzitutto vengono pubblicate alcune note biografiche di Eric Rees e inoltre il numero di ogni matrice del disco pubblicato e non solo di brani di opere ma anche di una romanza di Tosti. Più o meno tutte le romanze spiccano in maniera quasi sufficiente, specialmente quelle dell'Aida, Cavalleria rusticana, Marta, Zazà, Madama Butterfly, Trovatore.. Boheme; precario invece l'ascolto del “Vesti la giubba” dei Pagliacci dove Crimi riesce ad esprimere molto di più che non altrove. Particolarmente felice è stata «L'ultima canzone» di Tosti. A titolo orientativo apponiamo un asterisco ai riversamenti in microsolco del disco TIMA CLUB Roma, due asterischi al secondo microsolco inglese, mentre infine quelli senza asterisco si intendono non riversati in microsolco, fino a questo momento. Pare che esiste un 78 giri di «Santa Lucia lontana», cantata dall'indimenticabile tenore, che col suo canto ha onorato la sua patria in tutto il mondo. A livello discografico auguriamo altre registrazioni vengano fuori e nuove tecniche possano darci di più di quel tanto, tanto che ci è stato tolto. NINO CASERTA LIBRIZZI Il dott. Antonino Caserta Librizzi sta curando la pubblicazione di un libro su «Giulio Crimi» e prega chiunque avesse notizie, altre registrazioni, foto, ecc. di informarlo, indirizzandogli la corrispondenza in Via Emanuele Bellia, 242 - Paternò (95047). .

  • Il Trittico Pucciniano
    GIACOMO PUCCINI IL TRITTICO PUCCINIANO Il trittico viene rappresentato per la prima volta al Teatro Metropolitan di New York il 14 dicembre 1918. Il tabarro - Luigi Montesanto (Michele); Giulio Crimi (Luigi), Claudia Muzio (Giorgetta); Suor Angelica - Geraldine Farrar (Suor Angelica), Flora Perini (Zia Principessa); Gianni Schicchi - Giuseppe de Luca (Gianni Schicchi), Florence Easton (Lauretta), Giulio Crimi (Rinuccio); direttore d'orchestra Roberto Moranzoni. La prima italiana ha luogo, meno d'un mese dopo, al Teatro Costanzi (odierno Teatro dell'opera di Roma) l'undici gennaio 1919, sotto la prestigiosa direzione di Gino Marinuzzi, fra gli interpreti principali: Gilda dalla Rizza, Carlo Galeffi, Edoardo de Giovanni, Maria Labia, Matilde Bianca Sadun. L'idea d'un "Trittico" - inizialmente Puccini aveva pensato a tre soggetti tratti dalla Commedia dantesca, poi a tre racconti di autori diversi - si fa strada nella mente del Maestro almeno un decennio prima, già a partire dal 1905, subito a ridosso di Madama Butterfly. Tuttavia, sia questo progetto sia quello d'una "fantomatica" Maria Antonietta (che, come si sa, non fu mai realizzata) vengono per il momento accantonati in favore della Fanciulla del West (1910). La fantasia pucciniana è rivisitata dall'immagine d'un possibile "trittico" nel 1913, proprio mentre proseguono - gli incontri con Gabriele D'Annunzio per una possibile Crociata dei fanciulli...... Infatti, proprio nel febbraio di quello stesso anno Puccini è ripreso dall'urgenza del "trittico": immediatamente avvia il lavoro sul primo dei libretti che viene tratto da La Houppelande, un atto unico, piuttosto grandguignolesco, di Didier Gold, cui il compositore aveva assistito, pochi mesi prima, in un teatro parigino: sarà Il tabarro, abilmente ridotto a libretto da Giuseppe Adami.

He studied in New York City with Giacomo Ginsberg (name changed later to Giacomo Bourg) and subsequently with Louis Simions (?) and made his debut in Monza (Italy) in 1910 as Rigoletto. He appears to subsequently having sung in Torino, 1911, although there is some confusion here. A result of a recital in Boston upon his return (likely in 1910 but possibly 1911) was his being engaged by the Boston Opera for the 1911 season and being sent by a wealthy patroness to Paris for preliminary studies with André Caplet, the noted composer and a conductor with the Boston Opera. Olshansky appeared in Boston in about a dozen roles for two seasons (these including the Jailer in Tosca, Yakuside in Madama Butterfly and Valentin in Faust) and performed in a similar capacity with the Montreal Opera around the same time. After that experience, he seems to have left opera in favor of the recital stage and was heard in New York as a concert singer on a fairly regular basis, mainly at Aeolian and Town Halls. He also appeared successfully in various concert venues throughout the country. The last traced such program was at Town Hall, March 25, 1932.
