Guess the tenor by the High C!

[tinywiny927621]

1. Corelli , 2. Pavarotti (who could possibly not recognize!) I dont recognize the others, I Listen only to the real Maestro. =)

[sdh418]

corelli, pavarotti, kraus bjoerling, ?,?,?,?,?,?,?,kurt baum

[1993MGB]

Corelli, Pavarotti, Kraus, Björling, Flórez?, Only Di Stefano does the diminuendo, Bergonzi, Carreras (and his way of changing of syllable), ?, ??, ???

[a1z2d3r4]

2nd is definitely pavarotti

[1717PRO]

1) corelli 2)pavarotti 3) Alfredo Kraus4) Bjoerling 5)Florez 6) di Stefano 7)Bergonzi 8)Carreras 9) Araiza 10)Tucker 11) Gigli????

[chriggsiii]

[bravocarreras]

Not enough music for me and I don't recognise my favourite tenor by his High Cs, especially the ones that were never written by the composer. It seems composers like Verdi weren't men enough to write them according to what I have read here. Tenors have to sing High Cs to show they are men? OK let the tenors have the stage, no orchestra, no sopranos, baritones or bases, no chorus, no sets, no nothing, just tenors singing High Cs. Guess what? No audience!!!!!!!!!

[flatpicker15]

@bravocarreras i'd be there

[merv1618]

I'm not a tenor expert; could you just send a message with who they were so I could compare?

[scumblejack]

11 was my favourite.

[poirot594]

number 12 is enrico caruso 

[LordMgls]

@poirot594 I don't think so. I have his complete recordings and it doesn«t sound like the great Caruso to me.

[gplus46]

Wow, where can I find these songs, especially #6, amazing control

[jarto10]

yeah,the #11 is vezzani .you can check on a video with the high c from "salut,demeure" sang by 23 different tenors.vezzani is the first one.check here :

[jomoses07]

oh Juan...i'd know you anywhere....

[bradleyjenks]

1) Corelli 2) Pavarotti 3) Kraus 4) Bjorling 5) Florez 6) di Stefano 7) Bergonzi 8) Alagna 9) Wunderlich 10) Gedda 11) Tucker 12) God only knows

[bervy8]

I know I heard Lanza in there somewhere.

[emeraldomusik]

how ridiculous is this kind of singing ? I cannot take this serious. If someone likes high notes he should change his taste, forget opera and listen to some popular styles. In many pieces of heavy metal the c5 is one of the deeper notes. But I admit opera singers are much louder........

[tCrOMez1990]

no they aren't all Pavarotti only number 2

[ymarychen]

I wonder how many people fell for this guy's little gag...

[ymarychen]

Same tenor, just different recordings and different pieces. :-) All Pavarotti...

[ymarychen]

Are they all Pavarotti? Most sound the same to me.... :-)

[issueagent]

Are they using their head voice or chest voice?

[dangmills]

@issueagent I believe the only tenor who could sing as high as all those notes was Corelli who was famous for having fortissimo high chest tones (A, B and C, which was rare)

[issueagent]

@dangmills I see 0.0 Thats very amazing! Thanks!

[sintin23]

I love Bocelli, and I firmly believe he is the most beautiful voice to ever grace this earth. BUT, like critics enjoy saying, Bocelli is all passion but no power,and as much as I hate to say it, the critics are right. Real opera tenors like Pavarotti, Domingo, and Carreras are powerful and have the ability to sustain very high notes for long periods of time. Does this make me love Bocelli any less? Hell No! It just lets me appreciate all talented artists.

[TomConger]

#3 and #4 sound like different notes to me.

[lcowles]

#1 and #2 are stunning.

[hotqueekboi]

Is #6 Gedda?

[Acoontey]

Pavarotti...that's the only opera singer I know xD

[cfisher389]

Pavarotti is number 10 and is best!

[Slayerplsko]

@cfisher389 LOL, I just love these Pavarotti fans who can't even recognize the only tenor they know! Number 10 doesn't even remotely sound like Pavarotti. Listen to number 2 again.:)

[cfisher389]

@Slayerplsko Can you sing a C5? I can! #10 is the best in this take. Pavarotti while good, can not even begin to compare to Andrea Bocelli, the best singer to ever walk this Earth...

[ChrisMagoo99]

@cfisher389 you can't even compare Bocelli to Pavarotti. Bocelli needs about 50 microphones down his throat to be heard, and, even still, he's so quiet

[ajaxericbruntleet]

#11 is freakin beast!

[trombo8]

8 Wunderlich

[artyzach]

10 is pavarotti?

[GabrielGarcia1976]

my high C!!!!

[mockerygap]

Bergonzi, No. 7, is glorious; and his note is delivered as part of the musical line, unlike Di Stefano's shaky effort (No. 6)

[raigekimaru]

I think 11 is Giacomini. no other (non wagner singing) tenor is that dark and badass =P

[aravis123]

its a passagio right?

[kyctsproductions]

YES!!!!!!! i can't believe that that is a high c!!!!!!! i can do that!!! actually i can get higher!!!!! god this is awesome

[iltenorecubano]

I think that number 11 is Caruso. Am I correct?

[zgopify]

Di Stefano sounds sharp but what heavenly pianissimo. Bergonzi is the best one here, Pav 2nd Bjorl 3rd.

[raigekimaru]

you should do one for sopranos, I would pwn that one =)

I'm a baritone.. i wish i was a tenor.

Tenor sounds much better then a baritone.. more Opera's =( hmpf

[fgpad]

I think your are wrong, the trick is the tenors are the heros of opera BUT I THINK the sound of a bariton is prettier natural and of course masculine

[ElisabettaVS]

absolutely.

[staja2107]

@fgpad eat cock faggot, and go play with your masculin bariton friends...

[ElisabettaVS]

I love baritones! You can sing Scarpia! And Dappertutto! :) I prefer listening to baritones. Do you know Ruggero Raimondi? he is my favourite baritone along with Tito Gobbi, Sherril Milnes and some others ^^ Nicolae Herlea for instance, listen to his Te Deum, that's great. ^^

[HillbillyJ]

It makes me feel good when I read this comment because I'm a baritone. Its nice to see there are people who like us too. I use to wish I was a tenor, but I'm coming to love my baritone label more and more as time passes. And yes, I have listened to a little Ruggero Raimondi and I think hes awesome. :)

[ElisabettaVS]

You can be soo happy to be a baritone. But I guess it is just with women who always wish to be a soprano (at least that's what I'd love to be if I'd sing). But unlike women, I believe that men, especially baritones sound just awesome. They can sound romantic or bad, absolutley cool.

[tneprescintr]

@ElisabettaVS Ruggero Raimondi is not only an amazing baritone but also a terrific actor! You've seen him in Losey's Don Giovanni haven't you? I love him. Pity we don't hear as much from baritones as we hear from tenors. I'm a tenor and I find it most unfortunate.

[ElisabettaVS]

@tneprescintr He is! Alas, I haven't seen him as Losey's Don Giovanni, but I have seen him as Scarpia in many productions - he's wonderful! You don't have to think it is unfortunate to be a tenor, at least you don't die alone as the bad guy in opera and you always get the girl ;))

[ipmoic]

Wow, has anyone EVER controlled a high C in the manner of Di Stefano? Remarkable control.

[Villeneuve27rosso]

Secondo me sono: 1) Corelli 2) Pavarotti 3) Kraus 4) Bjorling 5) Florez 6) Di Stefano 7) Bergonzi 8) Alagna 9) Gedda 10) Lanza 11) Lugo

[PickBit]

Secondo me l'ultimo è giacomini ma per il resto son d'accordo

[musclemaggg]

jussi björling was the best

[Villeneuve27rosso]

Non sono d'accordo,secondo me il migliore é e sarà sempre Enrico Caruso,poi io rispetto le opinioni di tutti...

high c is not this hard to reach as some people think. maybe depends on the song you sing of course. but i think, hitting high f is legendary. not high c.

hitting a C is not EASY as u think it is....hu ever u are hu uploaded this

[TheAlbumGuy]

The uploader wasn't saying that it was easy to hit the high C. He was saying on "#4 still pretty easy" he was suggesting it was easy to guess who was singing the high C. I don't think you'll find a person that says the High C is easy to hit.

[AfroPoli]

#11 sounds like Vezzani to me...

[virr23]

1 corelli 2 pavarotti (famous voice) 3 kraus (very easy to recognise his voice) 4 bjorling 5 juan diego florez (it's him, no doubt, my favourite) 6 di stefano (his high c has a kind of resonance others don't have) 7 tito beltran?? 8 alagna?? 8 ?? 9 gedda 10 tucker (LA SPERANZA!!!) 11 caruso??

[TheLotusdragonfly]

@leadoffeohippus I like your comment about A. Kraus. You're absolutely right - his high C sounds wrong ; it's off-pitch.

[TheInquisitive4Ever]

And of course Mingo's supposed high C was the weakest. It must have been difficult to fine one of acceptable quality for Mingo who usually sound painful when he sings anything above a G.

[GermanOperaSinger]

Not Domingo. Its Bergonzi. Note that the C is still a secure one and supported. And his artistic phrasing. Domingo could not have been able to pull that off.

[poivriere]

What a cool challenge! I am in awe of many of the posters' abilities.

I wonder how many of these singers, although their skills were of a very high order, might actually have bled from the eyes on the "C." Clearly, different levels of effort were involved in producing that note.

[viverito]

1) Corelli in Faust 2) Pavarotti in La Fille du Regiment 3) Kraus in ???? 4) Bjorling in Trovatore 5) ???? 6) Di Stefano in Faust (amazing) 7) Domingo in La Boheme ??? 8) Bonisolli in Trovatore 9) ????? 10) Gedda on Postillon de Lonjumeau 11) Tucker in La Boheme 12) Billy Goat in Faust not Peerce older than Peerce I think

4 is bjorling

[TurandotFanatic]

11 (that's really the 12th) is Jan Peerce. 8th is Wunderlich (I guess), but 4th is certainly Björling.

[AUDIOPHlLE]

10 is Tucker but you used the excerpt from probably his poorest recording of that aria. Still above the others though.

[AUDIOPHlLE]

11 isn't Baum is it?

[cdurquizou]

Well, i only got first 5:

1.- Corelli

[alexninko]

di stefano horrible technique??you are stoned my friend.....

[primobaritono77]

Not sure but number 11 could possibly be Francesco Tamagno, the first Otello. It doesn't sound like Caruso.

[jalidav1]

number nine was niiiiiiiice

[flaze3]

The only one I thought I knew was 2. Pav.

Kudos everyone else!

[RedbeardNC]

1. Corelli...possibly 2. Pavarotti (obviously) 3. Kraus (painfully sharp) 4. Bjorling (yuck) 5. Florez (very clear, no diction) 6. di Stefano (show-off) 7. Tucker maybe? 8. Alagna (great!) 8a Domingo (covered as usual) 9. Gedda!!!! (amazing!) 10. Carreras (one of his better days) 11. shoot...Caruso?

[Ginotti]

Kraus is of course sharp... Because it's the C-sharp froma "A te o cara"...

10 is 100% Richard Tucker.

[martello79]

8B definitely is Domingo: one of my favourite singers, but we won't remember him for the high C and here we can hear why... I'd suggest: 1. Corelli 2. Pavarotti 3. Kraus 4. Bjorling 5. Florez 6. Di Stefano 7. Bergonzi 8. Alagna 8. Domingo 9. Gedda 10. Tucker 11. Pffff Lets say Caruso?

10 is Tucker 11 is Baum I believe.

[ldkrop]

Giuseppe di Stefano is the first i've ever heard to do a diminuendo on a high c. what a beauty!!

[ellandelachapelle]

Actually, Gedda hit a high D in this aria. (that´s why the C sounds so effortless.) Can't you create a video with "lines that are impossible to sing but are still sung by supermen"? (John McCormack sings a passage in Il mio tesoro intanto without breathing where everybody else breathes once. Or even twice.)(just as an example.)

[ellandelachapelle]

The only one I´m absolutely certain about is 9. The inimitable Nicolai Gedda! 8B is probably Fritz Wunderlich. (if Björing is here he must have had a bad day.) The best high C? No.2!
