MICHAEL SPYRES & LAWRENCE BROWNLEE Ah vieni, nel tuo sangue Rossini's Otello 

Agreeeeee!!!!!! 😎😎😎

Armchair singologists have been feeding their boredom into youtube comments since decades, it's annoying but it's great too.

C. Saint-Saëns Good point. I’ve sung (choir) and played classical music my entire life and have recently been studying classical solo singing, so I find people’s different takes on who has what voice equally fascinating and infuriating. With all the yammering that they do, I wonder if some of the commenters actually know what it feels like physically to sing an aria, for example. Anyway, that’s all I know. 🙂

Well, if people enjoy half-falsetto, nasal tenor voices with caprino and no squillo, it's up to them. These singers would be booed off stage 100 years ago, when people knew the sound of a free, declamatory voice.

@@celibidache1000 Bless your heart, you have no idea how voices sounded 100 years ago. There are recordings, but recordings in 1920 certainly do not show the true sound of voices like today's recordings do.

@@alicenelson8615 Have i ever stated that I know exactly how a singer sounded based recordings from the 1920? (let's see if you are honest enough to answer without being a condescending a*****e)

Because *that* is how he chose to dress...lol 🤪🤪🤪

When Rocky was in high school, our voice teacher Renata told him to lay on the floor and lift his father's bowling ball straight up over his head - 10 times with each arm - and then increase the reps His chest went from 36 to 46 over a number of years -- amazing support and agility. (I may be slightly off on the numbers, but I guarantee they are close -- this a story I was told about 45 years ago...lolol) 😎😎😎

Spyres does a C and D around 2:17, just like Brownlee. 3:40 is also a C.

@@JameSongMaker actually no, if You check it with a vocal pitch monitor You Will see

@@Un_Gordo_De_Derecha and if you notice how many open strings are used in the violins right behind the tenors, you'll see that my ear is correct, and that the duet is in C Major, with c's and d's as the top notes.

@@JameSongMaker then spyres is out of tune

@@Un_Gordo_De_Derecha or perhaps your "vocal pitch monitor" is off.

You are Incredibly off base....or Jealous perhaps? Lolololol

Please, listen to wonderful Corelli and get annoyed being here

@@nattie-k8380 sorry for hurt your feelings

Mention Corelli in the post with Rossinian singing is means that once understand nothing in opera singing, performing styles and opera art itself, but know only "brand" opera voices. If you like wright about Corelli who never sung Verdi's Otello in the posts with Verdi's Otello, not Rossini's as in this case. In the time of Rossini Corelli was meant as a shouting monster by the way. So, thinking first, read something about the histoty of opera and evolution of performing technique and only then post your comments. Gosh, what a pity...

@@ladyizolde4508 educate yourself

Sorry, but I do not post such comments as you do.
