GIACOMO LAURI-VOLPI--CHE GELIDA MANINA--LA BOHEME

Some people say that vibrato comes naturally.

Why then almost every tenor of those years had the same vibrato on the beginning of the singing life? I am sure they were taught that way.

Otherwise why nowadays you hardly find people singing with that fast vibrato.

And there's nothing to do with recording speed or quality.

It is possible to develop that fast vibrato which I personally like.

Thanks for posting.

@Fanaton Read the section "In opena" in Wikipedia's article "Vibrato"

'The last really important practitioners of this style and method of singing were Alessandro Bonci (in the 1900-1925 period) and Giacomo Lauri-Volpi (in the 1920-1950 period).'

Caruso basically started the trend of not deliberately creating vibrato.

Wonderful, thanks for posting this glorious man. It is sad to see that only 1,000 people watched this. He is a great sample for young tenors to learn from. Even Corelli understood this and took classes from him. Hope to hear such tenor nowadays.
