high E !! tenor Michael Spyres / Donizetti * Les Martyrs _ Act III "Oui, j'irai dans les temples" 

Well these performances are not usually very well rehearsed (for obvious reasons - you don't want the tenor to get tired) so I believe the amazement was genuine

I doubt that this is falsetto... I think it is head full voice. In many other videos he clearly hit high e in full voice, so I presume that this is full voice too. Fact is that is really difficult in opera to keep the same resonance as long as you move to higher notes. In other musical genres, they can compensate making their voice "dirt", hoarse... in opera, notes must be clear, unless you want people booeing you. Whilst for rock audience, for example, if you scream you are a hero. Different contexts. If I were in those guys, I'd try to be distance from notes over the high D. That is the limit, where an opera singer has still an advantage on other professional from other genres.

luca sanfilippo, it takes a lot more strength and support and training to hit a “dirty” (I assume you mean either a belted vocal fry or a growl) E5 than to sing it clean, but i still get your point.

FALSETTO? NOT AT ALL, HE ES THE VEST TENOR, IN THE PRESENT AND IN THE PAST, HE IE A TENOR CLMPLETO, THAT MEANS , EVERY THING, HE SOME TIMES IS A BARITON,TOO, HE IE EVERY THING, I AM A TENOR SPINTO, I KNOW , I AM A TENOR SPINTO, MICHAEL SYRES IS THE VEST TENOR OF THE WORLD, IN PRESENT, AND IN THE PAST. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Um...falsetto don't got squillo like dat.

I agree that it didn't sound "falsetto" but simply voice placement and he could have taken it higher. Had it been "falsetto" the sound would have been softer/lighter/weaker. I don't know of any trained tenors that can't achieve sopranist tones with like or better quality. I just did it and I'm not trained but aware of voice placement and how to achieve. :)

This makes me think Ed Sheeran refers to all this by setting up the idiom "bad habits" - he probably wouldn't dare to. It's a heavy metal thing, heavy metal wants perseverance though. Yeah, those hittings the hard rock singers - only the strong survive - do it "habitura", and lose their voice in the middle of a stadion. The Weeknd did. Isn't The Weekend some baritone...

Solcar Zemog I agree!

It’s Mark Elder so of course!

You are kiding.he is one of the most talented demanded tenor here with M Elder

@@nicolehourcade you can’t read. I literally complimented him.

Of course, i am not stupid but the 3/last years he gained more recognition especially in usa🌚

​@@nicolehourcade 5 years ago he didn't had half the recognition he deserved, he did some jobs for Opera Rara singing Pacini and stuff, and he even sung Il Pirata in Brazil(I'm Brazil we usually call foreigners singers that are very good but without much name), I think the point where his career started to really fly like it should was in 2020 when he sung La Favorita replacing Brownlee; then the recordings came, Amici e Rivale, and finally he sung at the MET.

И кому нужна эта фальцетная кульминационная нота???!

I agree with you BUT criticism in opera was always a major part of the opera world im sure you know that in the past singers were torn apart from the audience if they felt that the performance wasnt up to their standards and in some of the european houses they still do it some of the singers make the opera houses sign a agreement saying that they will stop or kick anyone out if they start booing or bashing them aloud during the performance, criticism was apart of the opera world ever since the monteverdi and vivaldi days pretty much since the dawn of opera...I don't agree with it but im not surprised when i see it done im kind of use to it already and if its being done in the opera houses i wouldn't be surprised to see it on the internet then again trying to sound smart and show off isn't anything new on the internet

I guess opera is an EXTREMELY DEMANDING artform where if you don't perform at least 150%, you're toast.

Yes.... right? ... look who's talking!

get wealthy while you sleep

I've noticed that about politics also, people who have never studied law or political sciences etc. have such expert opinions.

Marco Solis high E full voice is almost impossible full voice for men. But I know a tone of people who can falsetto an E. I might be biased cause I can sing counter tenor (C an octave from the end if a piano).

Marco Solis Heck ya only a god could full voice that

It took me til I was like over 21 to be able to hit notes above like Bb and high C and I am a high tenor. Now I can hit up to an Ab maybe A or Bb above high C on a good day. But then again I'm not a singer by any means and have no vocal training. I studied saxophone. I do have perfect pitch which may or not have helped me in my vocal range development

Theo Miller Lawrence brownlee can sing high F full voice

Thats crazy but it's also exzeptional meaning that it's great that Brownlee can sing that high but to expect people to sing that high is setting the bar too high

Donizetti does that to humans 🥰

As a veteran singer I feel saddened by the fact that this falsetto high E impressed so many. I was not impressed. I think Michael is a very gifted singer, with a fantastic instrument, but real high notes for tenor, above the high C, must have all the focus, intensity, brilliance and power of the high C...more in fact. And they should feel connected to the torso/chest. Gedda's famous high D's in Le Postillon de lonjumeau are a perfect example. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LVdOknrAZKY.html @5:53

@@joshuamcpherson007 Was not falsetto. Listen again.

@@davidwelch8288 Whatever it is, it isn't full voice. There is no muscular connection to the torso...which is a key element in properly produced high notes. The muscular connection is absent. It's all from the neck up, so has a very different quality from the high notes sung in the normal fashion.

@@davidwelch8288 Terms like Falsetto and Head voice are used very differently among different singers. Singing terminology is actually a huge mess, there's always a lot of guesswork involved. Some would call Spyro's high E head voice, others reinforced falsetto, yet others light mix. Anatomically speaking it was cricothyroid dominant. Be that as it may, Joshua was right in saying that this high E wasn't sung in the full voice that is usually used on such money notes and actually in maybe 80% of all opera.

Je pense que personne ne peut le dire ,c est incroyable , tu retiens ta respiration

Very impressive and powerful note but not chest voice. You can hear the register shift when he comes back down

@@dylanjwebmusic I just don't get it. Is there a falsetto register? Shifting register implies there are two of them, assuming falsetto is not a register. Cheers!

You’re correct about it being come scritto, but you’re incorrect about the voice. It’s head voice not chest. Falsetto. It’s incredible.

@@peterbernhard7415 Head voice/falsetto is a different register to chest voice, so yes, there are two of them. Ideally, you want to connect them to sound like one smooth register, but this is not always what happens in reality

​@@dylanjwebmusicYour last statement I find interesting, as I got my own thoughts on physiology. As I am editing this comments because you cared to reply to me , it occurs to me that there are, there do exist "cords" that anatomically do not connect to muscles, as they fix the joints, the knees for instance - which makes me wonder if the vocal cords connect to muscles... which is not even a beginner's question, as you voluntarily sing, and singing is steering the cords as you got muscles that connect to nerves thus to will. Unedited previous text wants to allude to the parallels of regular muscle training, working out, that seems to attain what in body building is sheer strength by applying crafty different ballet angles.... my own experience was that doing different angles ("ankles") might hurt in the beginning as the certain muscle fibers have never been involved in what had been routines to you (ballet is "ballare", but there is some Russian word "bol" that denotes the hurting, and balniza is the hospital) Now If you "just try" you might add more parts of a package and this might add to the sheer strength of it all without even heighten up specific muscle strains. A ballet dancer will not cope with a weightlifter but have astoundingly more strength than a regular guy with just the same diameter. Just to oppose the voice to the "rest" of the body: maybe you get "knots" like muscle packages if you get stuck in routines that are about sheer force that you in fact gained by versatility. So, the point with voice is that the force never suffices. Even Arnold is not a cumbersome inversatile sort of governor, as I now recall: Schwarzenegger was said "to have been" a wrench. Some low down is: strength of muscle and nervous versatility of "breaking" (what you know) both interact (which, as it occurs: new to me, sorry: that muscles gained would add to the brain, no singer would agree, "I think". With jogging, I'm sure it directly acts on emotions). Sorry for very bad English. I will edit once more, as soon as possible. I could hardly remember what I said but I understand it all the more so. This is not to forget about, the above. Thank you!

Just to get it reliably under fire with orchestra, pretty solid and excellent. They still have some opera over there.

Spyres has a stunning natural gift and a perfected technique where he can sing the bass, the baritone, the tenor, and the very high tenor. He mastered Rossini and particularly French singing but not limited to it (he sings in Russian and in other Slavic languages, as well). I liked his overall performance but not the high E. He switched from full chest directly to falcetto and back, which is in my take a bit disconnected... In below links you would see he can take Eb6 with chest voice. He could have attempted E6 without a false vocal. That would be majestic! This is still cool but he could have done better. He has such skill. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8WODsv0FFlg.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gye97Un9h8k.html

Really sudden - not to me. It's somehow the composer who want his singers show off as "sporty guys". I will do some relistening of The Bee Gees Saturday night fever, and check out if any other baritone did it better, ever. Bravo to you, for being inspiring, as trite as this may sound, I try it all the same. Please "apollogize" my intruding...

It’s no belcanto

❤️❤️❤️

😂😂😂😂

I agree....Bravo !! He did it fabulously...as his voice is virile and resonant!!! Castrati did it with voix-mixte (as far as we can know about how they truly sounded)....but leggiero coloratura tenors...can ONLY do it in falsetto..(it would end their singing...to try to engage their arytenoid cord muscles)..and his(Michael) is a strong falsetto.

I don't know if this is true but back in the day Richard Wagner ruined a tenor's career when he demanded that the guy sing a high F that is strictly chest tone. He got pissed when all they can do is head tone or falsetto.

Not to nitpick but I'm a leggiero tenor and I wouldn't sound _falsettoish_ at all on that E5. My voice extends up into that note and well past it , and is connected to the rest of my mixed range. I think he maybe could use a little more training to hit that note just right. It was a bit flat and was basically falsetto.

ColosoulCameron I'm pretty sure your a troll. Pavarrotti had trouble singing above a D5 without it sounding falsetto. If you can sing an E5 so gracefully and EVEN above that with ease and not sound falsetto then how come I have not ever heard of you or your recordings. Upload a video of you singing an E5 AND above like you say you can.

i think he's pushing it.

Époustouflant !

Yes, we owe it all to Him.

Andrea Bocelli is not a great singer?

@@devwhit His intonation is horrific

Ryan Alexander Music Well, at least he’s doing well for himself. 🙂

@@devwhit as have many awful singers, profiting off of the unlearned.

He did a good job in 'Langhuir per una bella' in Rossini's L'italiana in Algeri, but Juan Diego Florez has that bit of 'meditarreanan' approach that Russian-born Maxim Wjatscheslawowitsch Mironov ( Максим Вячеславович Миронов) just has aquired by reading the partion.

@@peterbierwirth8016 I don't agree, Maxim has a much pleasant tone than Florez, more rounded less nasal

@@operalover42 As I said, Mironov is doing a remarkably good job in 'Langhurir per una bella'. But I still have to compare him with Florez in 'A te o cara' (from Bellini's I Puritani),. Did Miranov ever sing this piece? Jeus Leon does also a very refined rendition of this difficult tenor aria. Here is an example wich I like very much. Hope you do, too: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QIsJgmUfEBI.html

Joshua Duque Sarmiento nonsense , he sings high tenor voice and goes to low register of counter tenor, it seemed like he went falsetto there , but it was more like a mixed

Definitely not.

@@HammondDER please add some time, sometimes :-), I mean minute second. Thank you.

Isn't falsetto defined by weakness?

Sem dúvida, tenor prodigioso!
