Rockwell Blake (Tenor) Concert Chorale of New York Saint Luke's Chamber Ensemble Roger Norrington (Conductor) Rossini Bicentennial Gala, February 29, 1992. Avery Fischer Hall
Nasal to the max in the late 90s but still untouchable in power for a leggiero (the vocal presence and projection of a much more colourful tenor!) and unmatched agility. A real miracle of technique and control.
Esecuzione memorabile di un' ardua aria che metterebbe in difficoltà la maggior parte dei tenori. Blake la esegue perfettamente ed è magistrale nel canto di "sbalzo".
Not the most attractive voice, in terms of timbre, but phenomenal chiaro-scuro coordination and balance and amazing resonance throughout the range. Bright sound great squillo no collapsing or woofiness 🌟
