Street Musician Sings Plays Shamisen Japan 1870 Suzuki Shin'ichi

I think it's fair to say that I adore tenors, particularly the tenori di grazia. My favourites in clude Tito Schipa, Cesare Valletti, Ferruccio Tagliavini, Leopold Simoneau, and Dino Borgioli. ButOnly Valletti and Tagliavini (the latter when young), could almost equal Schipa. The former was his student, which says a lot. Anyway, today, I decided to give the other voice types a try. So I asked Perplexity about basses and baritones. From the list it gave me, after trying them all, I liked Giulio Crimi, Mattia Battistini, Mariano Stabile, Mario Ancona, Riccardo Stracciari, Pasquale Amato, and Ezio Pinza. But I like the first four the best, and yes, one is another tenor. I love light voices that rely on elegance, diction, breath control, agility, etc. rather than sheer power, loudness, and so on. The heavy voices are why I avoided opera for most of my life. That said, I completely misjudged Beniamino Gigli, and I realise that now. Previously, I only heard him sing in a powerful, dramatic tenor voice. But I recently found two videos that made me completely reassess him, and another that reaffirmed my new findings. He could and did often sing that way, and it suited his voice well. But he could also sing with extreme softness and was an absolute master of dynamics, to the point that I could barely recognise him! So I had to add him to my list of singers that I like and also find amazing. If anyone has any suggestions of other singers I may enjoy, please let me know. I tend to stay with ones who began their careers prior to the 1950's.

I just found a wonderful article about full recordings of operas! This should help me in my search for decent materials to listen to. But these are only commercial recordings, so I will need to look elsewhere for radio ones as well as recordings that were preserved by listeners. At any rate, I was surprised by how many singers' names I recognised, all from the 1940's and earlier, of course. But there were still a good number that I didn't know and must, therefore, research. I was also surprised that Enrico Caruso appears not to have made any full-length recordings, or even large sections of a single opera. Also, Dino Borgioli wasn't mentioned, and I know he made at least two sets, that, while weren't complete, were extensive.

Good news for #singers, #musicians, and #music nerds:

Fil from @wingsofpegasus has started authenticvocal.com to separate those who don't use #AutoTune or pitch correction from those who do.

If you want to hear #vocals that are real human voices, and not digitized and "corrected" to snap to lines on a graph; if you hate vocal harmonies sounding like synthesizers; if you're tired of holding your own vocals to an impossible standard of pitch accuracy: Soon you can begin looking for this logo on your favorite musician's output:

“Fredag aften den 21. februar indtager tre talentfulde kvinder scenen, når Clara Bryld, Nina Baun og Cecilie Friedman forener deres stemmer, instrumenter og musikalske visioner i en kraftfuld og medrivende koncertoplevelse.

Med en unik kombination af klaver, vokalharmonier, percussion, bas og guitar skaber de en stemningsfuld lyd, hvor deres individuelle styrker smelter sammen i et helt særligt trioformat. De vil skiftevis akkompagnere hinanden og bringe både originalmusik og ikoniske jazznumre til live – alt sammen med en stærk nerve, dybde og intensitet.

Forbered dig på en aften, hvor poetiske fortællinger møder kraftfulde vokalharmonier, og hvor musikken strømmer frit i et smukt samspil mellem tre stærke kunstnere.

🔥 Tre kvindestemmer, én kraftfuld oplevelse. 🔥
