The last time I saw them together was a performance of Pagliacci in June , 1973 at the Met. they raised the roof with big sounds, BTW Corelli sang the Cav. that day. Tucker was 59 years old, he died a year and a half later of a heart attack at age 61, RIP.
Splendido il Barnaba del Mec Nail, colore brunito e mezzi poderosi, uniti a una dizione e una presenza da star del cinema che esprimono idealmente la perfidia ieratica del personaggio. Certe aperture sulla terribile zona del passaggio per il baritono (mi naturale), proibitissime in genere, gli si perdonano volentieri.
Hm, never thought about this before, but their vibrato is at the same period. On the 2nd last high note, I guess it is MacNeil F, Tucker A, before the G unison, I hear quite a bit of phase shift, and on the G a bit less but still some. Would it be noticeable or sound bad if with a baritone and tenor for example, one of them had a faster vibrato? I think somehow sine waves even if phase shifted or at different periods, they still add up to sort of sound like another sine wave; something like this. So vibrato from multiple singers meshes well regardless. But I feel like it would nonetheless be quite noticeable for a big unison note like this if they were too different in period.
