Rob is classically trained in opera in college. He sounds to me like he is keeping his focus forward and tall in the position. He has no tension in his throat, just wonderful
Austin seems to be taking cues from Rob at points throughout the song. I think it is wonderful that he convinced Rob to do this and featured Rob on his own channel to let him shine. It is another way he shows the humility you mentioned.
@@elizabethstops2362 That's where Austin cut his teeth. Musical Theater. Rob is trained in opera, but hasn't done it in 15 years. This was Austin's idea: to show off "Opera Rob". Rob agreed, but only if Austin would do it too.
Yes ma'am . . . scuse . . sì miro caro !!! These two boys showed deep respect and honor to this genre . . 'profondo honore e rispetto'. They honored it with their own 'flavor' in their abilities as country gentlemen. As I to you . . Thank ya darlin' from this ole' Texan . . 'grazie da questo vecchio Texan'
Thank you for your reaction I am glad to know your opinion. Many of the fans of Rob and Austin have no knowledge of Italian language, so it is good to find that they did a good job of saying the words correctly.
Chao, Ilaria! Thank you for the shout out. Even though they are country singers at heart, I really love seeing people's reaction to the wide genera of songs that they can do. This took a while for them to do, especially for Austin. Rob took Opera during collage which made it a little easier for him to remember. Austin was trained in music theater at collage. I am so glad that you reacted to this performance. I thought it was appropriate for an Italian voice teacher to review and react to their performance in this area. Grazie Mille!
Ciao Louis, thank you very very much 🥰 I've mentioned you in this video because you're one of my best Supporters, you make me continue this job💫 I didn't know about the classical education of Rob but I admit that I was right when I said that his voice seems very near to Opera, for his rounded and lovely sounds (more similar to Pavarotti's voice)🎵 And at the same time I feel all the preparation of Austin, who has another type of projection in the voice, from Musical Teathre 🎶 A beautiful combo between Classical and Modern, I love challenges😃🤗
Thank you for your treatment of this experience with the two of them singing opera, and the attention paid to their Italian pronounciation. I'm glad that you enjoyed their voices so much!
ok, full disclosure ... I am a confirmed Home Fry ... plus I feel any style of classical music can only be enjoyed live, never recorded. That said, the first reaction I watched was by a Professional Opera Singer (Maggie Reneé) where she breaks down their style, where I find Rob's Opera Trained voice blends very well with Austin's Classical Crossover Voice IMHO. Was waiting for an Italian reaction, and you did not disappoint. Thank you for also showing the lyrics with the video as well. I would also like to hear more Classical Style with not just Rob and Austin, but with Tim Foust added in.
Ciaooo I'm glad you appreciate my video 😉 I would like to listen also Adam Chance and Tim singing classical...it would be great💫 I'm going to search that reaction, could be very interesting listening the comment by an Opera singer😉
@@TrainingVoiceilaria Peter Barber is also a professional opera singer who did a reaction and analysis of Austin and Rob’s video. It’s a fairly long reaction video and he goes into a lot of details.
Rob graduated college in opera. He hasn't sang it in 15 years. Rob could easily sing Opera if he wanted to. Austin was trained in college music theater. Great reaction God bless 🙌
I am so glad that you reacted to their performance! I thought it was important for an Italian voice teacher to review and react to their performance of this Aria. You were able to appreciate their performance and highlight areas where they could improve!
I was privileged years ago to have heard Pavarotti with Dame Joan Sutherland and was stunned at their beautiful voices. Rob had studied opera in college but that was years ago. He was very nervous to sing this. Austin, who studied musical theater, talked Rob into it. Are they opera singers? No, but they were wonderful. Loved it!🥰
yep was different and fresh and new, something away from what they normally do. Rob really has a varied and diverse set of talents, as he shows off more of that here. Austin has such a great voice he can fool 99% of the people with his theater opera singing the same way a great impressionist can do accents. Most will go "thats amazing" but the 1% professionals will notice it isn't true, but it's still entertaining due to his great singing voice.
This video is highly entertaining and highly educational, and one of the best reactions to Rob & Austin's cover. I was struck when Ms. Ilaria said that she forgot that they weren't Italian.
What Rob & Austin did was introduce a whole segment of people to classical opera, and it's people that were probably afraid of its sophistication...but they did it so well that hopefully these people will now go out and listen to and support opera later on....this is a great thing
Ciao Kevin, I think you're right! I've interpreted the beginning of this beautiful video in this way: they entered into the church showing their humility and respect to Classical music, and to Opera singers who sang this aria before, knowing exactly that they are country singers but trying to do the best for making new people listening Opera💫
I loved this video and appreciated your honesty and integrity. As a non Italian and a non opera fan I thought it was pretty amazing, but you were very gracious and kind. Not bad for a couple of country bumpkins ! Keep it up! You are amazing and beautiful!
Rob was classically trained in college. Austin was also trained classically and also in musical theater. This was Austin's idea and he had to talk Rob into it. Rob had not sung Opera in 15 year so it took some convincing. Enjoyed watching your reaction and analysis of the video.
I enjoyed your reaction very much and especially appreciated the Italian subtitles. It was nice to actually see the words as they were singing. Rob’s opera training certainly comes shining through with his rich warm sound. Though Austin had a much different tone I thought he sounded amazingly good. Thanks for your reaction.
Austin has one on his channel called bring him home from a musical, its very good and well worth a listen. And I'm so glad you reacted to this, hearing first hand from a native italian speaker about there diction was great, love your video's!!!
Ciao Brad, my Reaction&Analysis on "Bring him home" by Austin is been posted a few minutes ago 👉ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r7AZgMNlsDc.html
Great Reaction! I have never been a fan of opera except maybe some Andrea Bocelli & a few others. But I have always appreciated the talent it takes to sing opera. I was pretty impressed with Rob & Austin's version of Nessun Dorma. I have heard this famous song done by Pavarotti. I think I was more surprised by Rob's range & powerful delivery than even Austin's. Pretty good for a couple of country boys! Nice to see them dressed up in suits & looking classy.
Ciao Calvin, I could not be too much detailed because I'm not an Opera singer but they made a beautiful job! Great interpretation, great pronunciation of foreign language, great colours in their voices and last but not least Humility, as the title of the video 😃 I hope they will make other Opera songs💫
Thankyou. Having the lyrics as they sang was great. It was also good to have your comments as to the accuracy of their Italian pronunciation. Excellent.
Bizet? Puccini? I agree a duet with him and Maggie, or even their featured singer in Hall of the Mountain King - Rob and her could do an opera/crossover piece without any trouble, LOL. Elizabeth G. I think...
I very much appreciate and enjoyed your reaction. From day one of its release I have been stopping from reactor to reactor to see the face of surprise, enjoyment and amazement. Yours was one the best and the first with sub-titles.Rob who study opera in college but hasn't sung it in 15 years , And Austin has a musical theater background ,they were nervous about how well this would go over with their fans. I think it has over big!
The best part of this video is 300k people have been exposed to, opera some for the first time, that is using your platform in a special way I am proud of them for that. Their opera singing might not be perfect, but it was good enough to create interest in this style of music so for that a big Bravo to both
the late, great Pavarotti ( R.I.P.) says....."you better sing, boys!" -- btw Nessun Dorma means "no one sleeps" and this aria is sung by all the great and near great operatic vocalists.......
Gracie! I was waiting for your reaction. I listen to this at least once a day. Your accent brings me back to my childhood. My grandparents were from Napoli. I listened to opera from a young age. Beautiful!
Ciao Nana, I'm happy to give you some beautiful memories. My boyfriend (who is a classical pianist) was born in Naples, if you wanna watch some beautiful place in Ischia you can find my vlog in this channel❤
Rob Lundquist trained in Opera so that's why you're sophisticated picked up on his annunciation. Austin Brown study acting, the performing arts in his younger days.
You picked up on Rob because he actually does have opera training. He hasn't actually sang opera in 15 years but the training is still there. Austin has a tiny bit of experience in it as well but focused on theatrical music in college.
NEW SUB. WE WENT TO HOME FREE'S CONCERT IN PORTLAND OREGON ON SEPT. 23. MY SISTER AND HER HOUSEMATE HAD VIP TICKETS WHICH INCLUDED A QUESTION - ANSWER TIME WITH THEM. MY SISTER SAID THAT SOMEONE ASKED IF THERE WILL BE ANY MORE OPERA. THEY REPLIED THAT NESSUN DORMA WILL BE THE ONLY ONE. WHEN ROB WAS IN COLLEGE, HE LEARNED HOW TO DO OPERA AND AUSTIN HAS A MASTER'S DEGREE IN MUSICAL THEATER. CHECK OUT AUSTIN'S VIDEO SINGING "BRING HIM HOME" FROM "LES MISERABLES".
Ciao Alice, thank you very much for your information, I will make a reaction on that song by Austin because I'm very curious but in my mind I imagine that he will be great💫😃
@@alicehuddleston308 Actually Austin does not have a master’s degree in musical theater, nor does he have a bachelors degree. He studied musical theater in college but left before he graduated.
@@susanhorn4325 Thank you for clarifying the extent of his education. I knew that what was stated above was not quite right, but did want to know what it actually was.
I have enjoyed your reactions to Home Free and you need to go find the songs that Prtter Hollens, he is a producer and singer, and Tim Foust. Home Free did many different songs that Peter produced and did one song where he used over 300 YouTub su scribers of his and it was incredible! Tim really goes low! in "Misty Mountains"' where Peter overlaid only his and Tim's voices in the song. Incredible voices.
If you want a bit of an operatic critique, check out Maggie Renee's channel and her review. She is a classically trained opera singer who loves Home Free and is very well acquainted with Rob and Austin and can give you very in depth insight into just how good a job they did as far as opera technique goes. :o) I have watched her review 3 times already. LOL
Rob definitely carried it…Austin is a tremendously talented vocalist…but Rob clearly has had both operatic training and had Italian linguistic/dialect coaching…which is common American and British operatic students at good music academies. The audio definitely wasn’t recorded in that church in the video…the vocals were definitely recorded elsewhere - most likely a studio. Because Rob’s operatic vocal would have been much louder than Austin’s. It’s really a lovely performance…and Rob really was superb!
You are one of the few reactors I subscribe to. Thank you for your great reaction. One thing you might want to consider is cutting back on the use of the word beautiful in your reviews. I find it a little bit distracting. Just a thought. There are many other synonyms for beautiful in English.
Ciaoooo I'm very happy you find it interesting. Thank you for your suggestion, I know I’m a bit limited in vocabulary because I’m studying English for this reason :) Have a great day
An excellent performance of this Puccini opera Turandot aria. Of course they are neither Pavarotti nor Bocelli, but still a good performance. Thanks for your excellent reaction and comments.
Home Free Tenors DO OPERA ..... like a whirlwind - just magnificent !!!! Rob is great, Austin is great .... their Italian is not relevant in that it is THE MUSIC !!!
Great reaction video, I highly recommend if you liked this video you should definitely react to Pentatonix, cover of The Prayer by Celine Dion & Andrea Bocelli.
I noticed that when they came back together in the end, as good as it was, the vibratos did not match. Austin's high tone was not able to vibrate at the same rate as Rob's lower tone (which voices in complete synch will do) and as Rob's was the more prominant (and operatic), it created a slight conflict.
Hey, Nessun Dorma was written by Puccini, not Pavarotti. Pavarotti sang the best performance of the piece, but it is not his. Or would you rob Puccini of credit for the opera Turandot from which Nessun Dorma is from
Non male, vero? Usando pure un italiano corretto, senza sti famosi "enghlis-isimi" americani che di solito non riescono ad imparare le cadenze italiane... Comunque, ti consiglio anche di guardare . Volutamente non voglio anticiparti di che su tratta ma non sarai delusa, di sicuro. Ciò, ,che come "rabbit hole" di Alice ti porterà a scoprire un artista nuovo, geniale interprete. Saluti!!
Austin & Rob come from an a capella group named Home Free and they cover many genres,not just country. While Pavarotti made Nessun Dorma famous,didn’t Puccini write it?
Ciao Eileen, it is a work begun by Puccini which unfortunately lacks the ending as Puccini died leaving some hypotheses of the ending on some sheets :(
I'm baffled how no one, and I mean no one is bothered by Austin's F# landing for "vincerò" on a G major chord! G MAJOR! You can't just stay on an F# when the entire harmony has switched to a full G Major chord! It does NOT sound well.
Honey - THESE BOYS ARE ENGLISH SPEAKING AND HAD TO LEARN THE WORDS IN ITALIAN FOR THE LYRICAL INTERPRETATION ......and you would be poor "Diction" rated if singing in English a tune you JUST LEARNED ..... as well. With all due respect, GBjj
