MICHAEL SPYRES as Mazzoni's ANTIGONO 

Thank you for the history of this opera. It's wonderful to have background while listening. Do you know when or when this was recorded?

@Lady Izolde Thank you!

Сейчас на альбоме она звучит вообще исключительно. Очень интересно, сколько в этом от композитора,а что создано исполнителем как барочное украшение.

Michael Spyres , es increiblemente , Creible ..

Он из системы Альфа Центавра, а там все такие 😅👍

It's actually an F#.

Carmelo Serafin F#5 to G2

@bodiloto's hater are you sure?

@bodiloto's hater just saying but i hate Bodiloto too xD

@bodiloto's hater i hate him because he says: Pavarotti is using microphone!!! And that makes no sense... I love Pavarotti and Milnes , both are my favorites singers

@bodiloto's hater you rigth

Can you give me the score? I'm interested in making an arrangament

Divine, is the high G actually written I. the score, or did Mr. Spyres interpolate the note?

Can you send me the scores?.. please I can’t found it in my country and in internet. I want to try sing it

@bodiloto's hater Raaf didn't sing the Mazzoni's Antígono, as i know he sang the "Didone Abbandonata" of Mazzoni

can you send it to me as well, please?

If you hear him live he sounds actually way bigger and more powerful than many famous idols that only sounds woofy and incredibly dark in records...

Are you kidding me? Do a High G with a darkness of him (actually it isn't dark of all) but he did it in mixed voice, it's so difficult for a tenor to do a high note like D5 or Eb5 with a little bit of darkness, now imagine a G5!.

I have to agree with you here. The voice sounded very brittle in the da capo. Particularly toward the end. And that breathy screech was just so completely unnecessary. The ornamentation was MORE than enough of a wow factor. Knowing Mr Spyres as the consummate professional that he is, I am sure he would agree. Also, this is not a professional recording. Taking that into consideration, you can hear that he was not in perfect voice during this performance, particularly at 5:07, where the voice almost cracks twice.

Usually, especially during 1700, many roles in opera were dedicated or commissioned to particular singers with specific capabilities. For instance: Arturo in "I puritani" by Bellini, was a role exclusively made for Giovanni Battista Rubini, that's why in the finale (Credeasi misera) there's a high F! I think Mazzoni did the same thing, although there aren't a lot of information about him and the composition of this opera, nor we know the original cast of the first performance, considering it never happened.

It’s not

@@Chris-wm4th it is. Look between 4:05 and 4:14. He's not singing live.

I wonder if the video itself is just dubbed over with a studio recording or something
