Fabulous new song to me!!!! it is great!!!!! great voice!!!!! rated highest 12+ nice minor key operatic arrangement. nice melody. great tone and sustaining power. just found this gem today. thank you poster ROGHARM agree with "legato fancier". who wrote a comment.
Probably the most naturally beautiful baritone voice of his time. For vocal quality he was unmatched until Robert Merrill debuted at The Met in 1945. Today, Tibbett might be considered a Bass Baritone. Bryn Terfel (as good as he is) could take some lessons from Tibbett.
Falsetto, mezza voce, chiaroscuro - attach the labels that might please best yourselves -whatever else it may be called, this example of Tibbett's greatness is beautiful, rich and remarkably sensitive singing.
This is such a Romantic love song. I love music like this :) Why can't they have music like this today? I like the way he sings "straight" and doesn't start improvising and changing the melody like artists today tend to do. Seems like singing like this went out of style in the late 1930's and reappeared for a short time in the late 1960's and 1970's and then disappeared.. what a shame.
No, it is mezza voce and I am not saying it sounds like falsetto. I am talking about the balance of muscles which correspond to falsetto and chest (arytenoid/thyroid groups). That is evident in his voice. When you sing mezza voce the voice goes more towards falsetto, but still says in chest. Just less chest.
Falsetto IS falsetto. I know what falsetto is and it doesn't matter who he studied with. Falsetto is what it is, and chest is what it is. They may have used different terms, but I am going by how they are actually defined.

It is not Falsetto - it is Chiaroscuro singing, exactly what the singers today do not possess.

He had wonderful balance in his voice between chest and falsetto. Awesome!

Most of the time, he sings his real voice... sounds like falsetto, but that is real (sotto voce)

Because he is using the technique which studied with Frank LaForge. Falsetto is falsetto.
