Cornell MacNeil - Nemico della patria [Andrea Chenier] - Live 1983
We're fortunate to have so much close-up, live-action footage of great American baritones like Merrill and MacNeil. With the Italians and its many great baritones, we're not so lucky because while they made many films of operatic literature, almost all of them were studio treatments and so lip synched to pre-recorded tracks, robbing modern-day lovers of singing/technique/pedagogy of the ability to study these singers' real physical actions and coordinations.
I don't want some sort of algo to set off automated content alerts, so I won't name the locale of this gala... but I'm sure you can guess it.
Please don't make me block you for commenting with the ole "well he uncovered too high" canard. You're the grillionth person to say it; it doesn't make you a connoisseur. 🖤
.........
Two Rs and two Ls... because the singing is extra. Trrill is about florid passages, improvisatory underpinnings, staccato'd intuitions, and virtuosities even at their most ridiculous.
Trrill's aim is to rediscover, rescue, remaster, repitch, reclaim, and recontextualize footage and recordings of the greatest singers in the so-called old-school operatic tradition-works that are primarily in the public domain or excerpted and edited in fair use in order to fix incorrect speeds or tones or audio-visual synching.
Caveat: I'm biased in favor of #baritones and baritone literature, but if you want to learn even more about these singers, checkout this spreadsheet. Voice parts are separated by tabs: bit.ly/2W4qmE3

Enzo De Muro Lomanto - En fermant les yeux [Manon] - Live 1933
Переглядів 5746 місяців тому
Some might say a Manon aria is something seemingly better suited for a Georges Thill, but interestingly De Muro Lomanto shared a teacher with Thill in Fernando De Lucia. And here you can hear a through line of the history of tenor singing-some of De Lucia's shaded mellowness, some of Fleta's glistening melancholy, and even a preview of the pained simplicity of Di Stefano. A nice little record.....

    This is so painful to watch and listen to and embarassing for her. She belts. Terrible technique. Pushed and heavy sound. How did she ever have an international career without a good high C? Her voice is not properly registrated. Anything above and including a high A sounds harsh.

    Callas forever! Nobody can sing this aria like Maria - Is obvious that Nilsson do not understand Italian. Oderwise she can not be so soft on the word orrore.. Every word is so meaningful with Maria, she really understand like nobodyelse Puccini. Is incredible how Maria modulate the intrinsic ritm of this aria crating visual effect - listen to he 1957 rendition of the aria - how she sing/say "o Principi che a lunghi caravane... dove parte del mondo qui venite..." lunghi caravane suggest in Maria rendition something ondulating like kamels on the sand dunes the quaitnes if is firs disrupted by the accent on QUI venite - here, here is my reign - to do a real very good crescendo for Io vendico SU VOI, quella purezza - very delicate, ascending on quel grido for the pike on quella MORTE. Maria is a real genius, I was incapable to listen to Pucini before I discovered Maria in1994 - til that moment I listen to her recordings again and again, and they are so alive, every time I discover a nuance, an accent a way how she can create with sound ONLY visual images. An other example is from La Sonambula - "amo il rio perche londa ti da..."when si sing first this at Edinburg is very much evident - is like you hear water going from a bottle to a glass for Elvino to drink - Callas a real genius, nobody sing like her.
