The accompanist is FANTASTIC! He is doing exactly what he needs to do for Aaron: giving him the support he needs to shine, and nothing more, exquisitely.
If you only told me that they sing a rendition of "One Song Glory" but without the heavy guitar and a soft piano instead, I wouldn't have thought it would be very good, but I've been proved wrong.
I can imagine Roger singing this song to himself on his actual deathbed. And the piano would fit because he'd be too sick to play his guitar (not that he does in the actual version of the song, but he technically could).
What is surprising? That he hits it or that the score has it? Every tenor on that role sings it, with a full orchestra in a theater with no sound system and great acoustics. You have a lot of versions here in youtube, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1tlM9arIzZc.html
@@leif1075 1. You need to be born with that in your range and when you go through your major voice change you stay a tenor. Then practice like crazy. Also men’s voices don’t mature till the age of 46 I think and women’s voices mature around 25-30 I believe. So keep that in mind. He is nearing maturity meaning he’s regained a lot of range from when he lost it during his major voice change. Also he’s a professional, practices a ton, and most definitely practices expanding his range but he was born a tenor and that’s kinda what you need first. If you’re not a tenor, chances are you’ll never hit that note full voice. Falsetto for sure. Full voice, most likely not.
@@leif1075 I mean you can work towards it but not really. Like I’m a bass and I’ve regained pitches as I’ve gone through life and my voice has developed more. But I won’t ever be able to sing that. You can extend your range by working on it but it takes a while and it only can extend your range by a few notes, not like an entire octave. It all depends on where in development you are though. But for the most part no if you’re born without it, chances are you won’t have it in your range unless you are somewhat close to it
Aaron: *reads Rodolfo's words and expects the audience to laugh at them* Audience: *thinking silently* Aww that's so romantic and beautiful! Aaron: Hilarious, right? Audience: Oh yes, hahaha!
that wasn’t his intention i don’t think. he thought it was just as beautiful as the audience. he meant it as ”can you inagine just saying something that besutiful to someone”
I saw when he started the aria, he sounded like an American who learned to pronounce Italian. But the aria, with its emotional intensity, captured him and carried him along - that's what great music does - and by the end, he was totally one with the aria and Italian. Great classical music captivates the singer, and makes him greater than he realized was possible.
As an opera singer (I know my comment is considered "taboo"), I must say it's pretty cool to hear "Che gelida manina" done in a musical theatre fashion! ;-)
As an opera enthusiast, I agree! His Italian was very good, and the arrangements he made to bring it down for his vocal range was not something I ever expected to hear a musical theatre performer do, but just goes to show how talented Tveit is. I'm so glad I found this video!
J'ai dû mal à apprécier l'opéra parce que cela se veut trop grandiose, maniéré et élitiste... Que cela en devient moche et casse-pied à écouter. De la légèreté, du naturel humble c'est beaucoup plus agréable pour les oreilles. Ce n'est que mon avis. Chanter de l'opéra quel travail technique... Une performance. Mais parfois ce trop... ce n'est pas agréable à écouter.
This is what I've wanted to hear him sing since he sang Maria with the NY Phil. I knew he could do opera. He has all the Italian emotion. Beautifully presented and sung! What commitment in an entirely different medium - I don't mean in Italian, that's a given. I mean the operatic style. The top notes are tight, but he can work on it. Try another.
I know! Aaron Tveit should try Erlkonig by Schubert. A great German lied (song).There are 4 characters each with a different voice, the narrator, the father carries the son riding thru the forest, the son tries to warn the father of the presence of the Erlkonig, a fatal character. The Erlkonig seduces the child with visions of play. The child cries to his father, the Erlkonig! Father refuses to listen, it's just a wisp of fog. At the end of the song, the father rides desperately, holding his son. As they reach home, the child in his arms, the child lies - dead. I wish I could sing this. Can't, it's for a man's voice(s).
Chanter et rire en même temps et faire rire autant ! Quel bonheur. Quel dommage que je ne comprennexpas la subtilité des paroles... Je comprends que certains tombent amoureux en l'écoutant chanter.
😂 don’t get me wrong I love Aaron voice when he sing one song glory, but the guy in the movie Rent I love his voice way better cause it has that rock n roll edge to it that I adore
Adam Pascal. He is one of my most favorite Broadway singers ever. The power and control of his voice is next level. I adore Aaron too. They both are very charismatic and captivating.
@ThatGreenDayFreak If he's a pro (and I think he is) he's paying over $100 an hour, easily, in NYC to keep his 'chops' up. Which may indicate that he's getting ripped off. No doubting talent. Just execution.
wow I thought that we were over the puberty jokes for men with high voices... I mean, how shallow do you have to be? Especially since you're using it as an insult just because you didn't like a cover. Not to mention that a lot of the most famous male singers of today have high voices. Obviously people like them. (Also, as I am not knowledgable in the voice department whatsoever, I'll believe the multiple people who have commented on his amazing technique and pronounciation in the past couple of years over one bitter comment)
@@DeeFightingDreamer don’t get me wrong. i LOVE LOVE LOVE Aaron. but I study Italian. and I’ve got to admit that I don’t think his italian pronunciation is fantastic. it’s not terrible. but as someone who studies italian pronunciation I know what the words are supposed to sound like, and he does pronounce some of it wrong. and with the placement he uses here and the vowels, etc., this sounds more like as if he was singing a legit-ish musical theatre song from a musical in italian than an aria. it doesn’t sound super operatic. and if you listen to Pavarotti’s version of this and then go back and listen To Aaron’s,,,you’ll hear a gigantic difference. THOUGH. there is NO reason for these people to be so hateful of this version in the comments. he is doing this for fun. I love that he revisits his classical training like this. I’d like to hear him sing an art song or something, a classical piece more toned down than an opera aria. because I bet he would sound much better singing that since he didn’t even study OPERA opera. he wasn’t an opera major, he was a classical voice major, and he probably sang only a few opera arias. and even if he doesn’t sing the aria very operatically I still think he sounds beautiful and I hope he keeps performing this medley. and he’s so BRAVE for singing an aria I bet is pretty hard in front of so many people despite not singing this way for like 18 years. and as someone mentioned in a previous comment in this thread: he even admits that his italian probably isn’t that great. and I’m OBSESSED with this medley. One Song Glory segueing into the La Bohème equivalent of Light My Candle? it’s such a creative and Fun idea!!! sorry for the long comment.
@@asnalelo.165 I just realized that I could have worded my comment a bit better. The last part about people complimenting his pronounciation was not meant for his italian. I don't speak italian but common sense tells me his italian isn't probably that great if he's never studied it. So yeah, I'm not talking about his italian, which I think shouldn't really be up for discussion as Aaron himself said that his italian isn't good, and we're all here to admire singing, not whether or not his pronounciation is correct. I was simply refering to the countless comments about his articulation and pronounciation in english, that people have made in the past. (same goes for the technique, people have complimented his overall singing technique, not the aria)
I know you were doing it for fun and just to show off your misplaced high notes. But oh boy, you made Puccini turning in his grave. And the pianist’s very POOR piano accompaniment by ear was horrible!
