Wunderbare Anna, die schönste und beste Sängerin zurzeit. Ich durfte sie live erleben, wunderbares Erlebnis, einfach nur großartig! Und dieses Lied über das liebe Väterchen aus der Oper Gianni Schicci ein Highlight von Puccini
@jewelmarkess - I wish to add that I only just now had the chance to read your previous comments, and I find that my last comment was repetitive. I apologize for my repetition. And I'm quite jealous that you had the opportunity to see her at the Met ;) ;) ;)
@jewelmarkess - quite right, this is indeed a comedic opera. However, many singers over time have, when sung as a solo piece as it was here, reinterpreted the piece to be more tragic and poignant, such as the magnificent Anna has done here, and then performed it with a more comedic aspect when done on stage in the full opera. Both interpretations are wonderful, and just a matter of your listening preference.
She's telling her father that she's in love and that if it's in vain she will throw herself off of the bridge and into the Arno River. So you want to see the anguish of her despair in combination with the beauty of the love she feels, as in a Maria Callas performance, but it's sometimes (not always) missing in Anna's.
@RoboSlater This is a comic opera so the girl may well be play-acting for her father's benefit and has no intention of throwing herself into the river. A beauty of the love she feels - yes she is in love, yet she is asking her father to commit fraud. A lot of singers play the comedy aspect more. Regardless, it's the matter of preference, Callas was amazingly expressive, I agree with that.
The music, the voice, the face, the dress this is perfect for me, i think in this performance everything fits perfect together, also the sound engineers made a perfect job, i don’t believe this TV studio has a good acoustic at all.
If you compare this to the shit what surrounds us every day , this give me hope for the manhood, maybe it is not all senseless in this world, thanks for sharing this.
@raindyns I heard her live at the Met, and yes her voice is gorgeous. As to the mic - as you probably know opera singers sing without microphones when performing in opera theaters/classical music halls where the acoustic allows it. In places like a tv studio where the sound is recorded or outdoors they usually are at 3-5 foot distance from the mic or they'll blow it. It is a beautiful aria.
como puede haber gente a la que no le guste este video? su voz, su técina, su vocalización, el esfuerzo, la dedicación... esto no se hace por ordenador, no se graba en un estudio, no es playback. Esto se siente en el corazón y se hace a base de estudiar y practicar. Y es duro, pero a la vez, eso es lo que lo hace realmente hermoso.
I'd also like to add one more thing here as well. This is a prime example where someone makes you feel the story very deeply. Too often friends say that opera is easier for me to appreciate because I understand Italian. But, in my view, when properly performed, operan should be able to be enjoyed by anyone, whether you understand the language, or whether you can't understand a single word. Simply through intonation, gesture, and pure feeling, one should be able to follow the basic story, an
@prince2000ful You are right about that young girl who ask her father to buy a wedding ring, but... don't throw a stone to Anna, even a corpulent mid-life woman sings this aria. Montserrat Caballé has one of the nicest voices but that song fits her neither {and I have yet been cursed for my point of view :-) }
@Victor20376 The girl could wel be manipulating her father; she isn't asking him to buy a wedding ring but to help boy's relatives steal the inheritance so that they'll agree to the wedding. Regardless, opera requires suspension of disbelief, any theater does: we believe that a blue colored cloth is a river, painted planks - a palace, etc. In opera a woman dying TB sings "at the top of her lungs"; an overweight male may play a starving poet, etc. It's music first, then words.
Studio recording lip-synced for TV. That said, her voice is amazing. She overpowers this aria terribly, but I can understand why. Not many can do what she can.
She has the power and talent to overpower it. In doing so, she makes it more than a song by an innocent girl (prince200ful) and transforms it into something quite wonderful. It is as if a song is a road; a bentley goes down the same road as the others, but it transforms the journey into something special.
I have heard so many renditions of this aria, so many beautiful performances from sopranos and mezzos that are absolutely to die for, but Anna's delicacy, her pianissimo phrases, are so lovely. I can't even put it in words.
I can't criticize her, because she is a better singer than me by far!! I don't understand music theory but for my eyes and mostly ears she is perfect. Please enjoy!!!
@arpeggio1358, remember, she's of the old school when female opera singers was brought up to sing as if they've got a dick between their legs. Sad. It's such a turnoff. The good thing is that there is an alternative today. A new era of singers who dropped the stupid idea of being pretentious.

1) They don't have a clue what is happening in their throat and do not care.
2) They are thought singing by synthetic method and not analytic.
3) Learning to sing has always been practiced in humanistic tradition and not scientific.
@themadhermit99 wrote: "And how exactly can vibrato be on top of another vibrato?"
At least three different techniques are known, but far too late for you to learn now that you have bluntly thrown yourself in a debate about this subject, isn't it?
"Do you thing singer can produce two voices?"
Yes, but not relevant.
"Do you realise vibrato and bel canto existed more than hundred years before spectrum analyzer?"
@jewelmarkess, I'm now watching /watch?v=rmBBK4ab6sU and it doesn't look good so far. In the topic it sais "The Bel Canto technique is uniquely Italian, and means, literally, "beautiful singing." Famous Bel Canto composers include(...)"
Surprise me by showing you're able to point to the contradiction.
Funny thing you felt the need to direct me to /watch?v=_3ML6M1YFJY because none of the clowns in the studio got the faintest clue.
@Idol2011no There is no contradiction except for in your mind (keeping in mind that you claim "scientific" knowledge yet fail to produce a single scientific article on the subject other than your own opinion which you consider the truth). Yes, bel canto technique is Italian. Yes, when a composer writes music he usually has a particular style of singing in mind. If you'd bothered to read ANY article on bel canto be it musical or scientific, you'd know it is associated with specific composers.
@jewelmarkess, I don't need any article. Not because I'm myself an authority in this subject, but because my evidence is easily reproduced and where I have explained the exact procedure to do so, and with the only valid tool. The reason you continues to object to my reasoning despite the fact you are not willing to search for exact info where such is to be found can only be explained by you being a charlatan and not a reasonable human being. Just tell me, is it fun to be a complete dumb fuck?
@Idol2011no You just don't understand how arrogantly ignorant (and stupid) you sound in all your comments and your insults just add to it. You THINK you are an authority and if reputable articles and papers disagree with you - you ignore them because you THINK you know better. You don't even have the capacity to understand how stupid your comment that mixed operetta and bel canto together was. Regardless, I am done arguing with you. Continue with your delusions.
@Idol2011no Maybe because I quoted the specific information in my very first comment to you, but you choose to ignore it? This is absolutely my last comment to you. You are an arrogant ignoramus who doesn't know anything about opera, classical music, operetta, bel canto, grand opera, verismo, etc. but would like to pretend he does. This conversation has gone on too long. It is entirely off topic to Anna Netrebko or O mio babbino caro. Feel free to call me names, I am not answering.
@Idol2011no In your mind, everybody who has ever written anything about bel canto is wrong be it - the famous bel canto singers, musicians, music historians, author of the article on wiki (including articles/papers referenced by wikipedia's article), and virtually any other article or book written about bel canto. The only thing that is correct is YOUR OWN NOTION that you got from somewhere. Think about it. Where did you get your information from? Are you sure it's right?
@jewelmarkess, actually, to my great surprise even Wikipedia(en) consist of good information, at least the first three lines I cared to read just to find evidence to contradict your loose claims. Try again moron, or maybe your reading is no good.
@Idol2011no Then maybe you should read more than the first 3 lines on wiki? Any one line out of context can be re-interpreted to mean what you want it to mean. How about your read the complete wiki article and try to find something there to support your position?
@Idol2011no The first three lines of wiki talk about the ambiguities throughout the years. However if you had bothered to read further, you'd read the lines about how it is understood today. BUT -- you know better, we've all established it. You know more than anybody else, never mind that you probably haven't listened to a single opera in your entire life. Or, the more you call you opponents names, the more people who read your comments think this label applies to your most of all.
@jewelmarkess, did you actually ask everybody if they think I know better? Anyway, I'm pretty used to people who tries to disqualify me for the "reason" of being too clever.
The three first line support what I wrote. You have not produced anything in the article to the contrary.
I'm happy if you're right about people believe I'm the clueless one. I hate to think anything I wrote helped people to trust something that is correct without me betting payed. Is it fun to be a dumb fuck, really?
@Idol2011no The first three lines of the article are "Bel canto (Bel-Canto) (Italian, "beautiful singing"), along with a number of similar constructions ("bellezze del canto"/"bell’arte del canto"), is an Italian opera term. It has several different meanings and is subject to a wide array of interpretations" -- how does it support your claims? The actual definition as understood today starts with words "As generally understood nowadays..." which I quoted earlier. Which quote supports you?
@jewelmarkess, both. Neither contradict anything I wrote. Did you ever attend a class of logic? Anyway, Wikipedia isn't any good place to search for details. It's a general encyclopedia written mostly by clueless morons. Even so, they managed to clear off something completely wrong about bel canto, for the part you did reproduce here.
@Idol2011no Neither supports anything you wrote either. If fact, if you bother to read the TODAY'S DEFINITION you'll see that it specifically mentions association with a concrete time period. After that if you bother to continue reading, you'll see THE LIST OF CHARACTERISTICS not a single characteristic as you claim. As to what is "completely wrong" - you are the only one who says so.. No single source agrees with you, but you have zero credentials in opera, classical music.
@jewelmarkess, I don't bother to read anything more than what you reproduce here. So far you have not found a single evidence to contradict my definition of bel canto, which in technical terms goes like "a SINGING TECHNIQUE where the singer blur her first vibrato by putting another on top of it".
Show me the evidence or shut the fuck up, clueless moron!
@Idol2011no I can't quote the full article in comment, you are too lazy to read it. You came up with your own definition that doesn't match anything ever written about bel canto by people who study it. You are not telling us what you analyzed to come up with your definition. You associated it with operetta - a genre in-between musical and opera that originated in Central Europe and has zero to do with bel canto. You opposed it to "grand opera" - a type of opera, not a singing style at all. Smart
@jewelmarkess, you're right. I don't care to read something written by humans hooked by humanistic rant. I'm a scientific person and don't trust what a concept is believed to consist of. If bel canto is something important within singing and if two singers can sing the same song with and without bel canto, then bel canto must have to do with the sound. Simple deduction. I know I'm right about bel canto. I did prove it beyond any reasonable doubt. No Liar, I never bound bel canto to any style.
@Idol2011no Here is what I think. I think you work with recording or analyzing of sounds, you maybe very good at it. I think you may have heard some singing labeled as bel canto - it could be of a singer singing a trill or it could've been not bel canto at all. You analyzed it and saw this modulation. After that you decided that this is the main characteristic of bel canto even though a) it could not be characteristic of bel canto at all b) it could be one of common ornaments.
@jewelmarkess, you're not that far from the truth. First I did some research to find thousands of examples of what is called bel canto. In combination with this synthesis I ran it through the rules of definition assuming "bel canto" is something important within singing and the sound of it specifically. When I found the common denominator I used a high speed camera to locate what is physically special about bel canto.
When you call an era "bel canto" you should now understand what it means.
@Idol2011no Have you published your research? Did it pass peer review? Are you sure all of your samples were correct? Have you eliminated other styles to make sure that your characteristic doesn't also apply to other styles such as the style used in verismo or baroque? Your research also makes an assumption and If this basic assumption is wrong - that there is this single specific sound - then your whole research falls apart. There are a lot of holes in your research.
@jewelmarkess, no, I am working for the industry and my research is part of a top secret study to develop a technical tool to help customers to learn to sing.
Bel canto can hardly be called a style. It's a singing technique, and yes, it can be applied to many, if not most singing style. No, there is no assumption about a specific sound. Are you not able to hold premise apart from conclusion? It may be holes in my study, but nothing that you have unveiled, you arrogant windbag.
@Idol2011no Again, it is your assumption that bel canto is has a single defining sound. This is what you were looking for from the start. Additionally, it's not clear which data you used and how you eliminated other "techniques". Think about it. Your samples could've had a lot of trills. A trill can be easily though of as extra modulation. But trills are used in bel canto, not it's single defining sound, and other things can mimic trills (for the analyzer) too like bad vibrato.
@Idol2011no About trills:. Trill (shake) is a musical ornament consisting of rapid alteration of two adjacent notes. To people who aren't familiar with it, it may seem like an exaggerated controlled vibrato, but the technique is different. BUT. Trill is just an ornament. While ONE OF the characteristics of bel canto is a lot of ornaments, other styles can also use trills too. Sometimes bad technique makes vibrato so wide it sounds almost like a trill. This wouldn't be bel canto.
@jewelmarkess, "ornament" is a typical concept used by humans of humanistic education, but not scientific. In context of producing sound by singing it holds no precise meaning what so ever. This suits well among humanistic crackpots where the idealistic picture includes the possibility to rant about what they do without any danger of being proven wrong. Under such condition it is important to practice floating abstractions. "It's most important to protect the good mood!"
@Idol2011no There is a very clear, precise meaning of "ornament" in music with very clear musical notation for each type. These are known to anybody who's ever studied music. You problem is that you are analyzing something you know very little about to begin with. You take an existing term, you make an assumption that it must have a single defining sound, and then you run a bunch of examples (some could've been misidentified too) and without a good control set. It'd never pass a peer review.
@Idol2011no Well, you probably can for each type. Don't you think it's your job to eliminate for measure these characteristics for most common ornaments? How about distinguishing good trills from tremolo? As to "stupid", doing research without basic homework and insulting anybody who questions it - doesn't seem smart. As to teaching talentless people to sing. I'll bet your methods would produce many Florence Foster-Jenkins.... Try measuring her singing. I am DONE.
@Idol2011no I will admit that I might have expressed myself incorrectly though. English is not my native language, and I abbreviated a lot. When I say "vibrato" I meant loose, wild vibrato, created on purpose, not natural vibrato most voices have. But the fact remains is that bel canto and operetta are unrelated, and Sissel has nothing to do with either.
I won't buy spectrum analyzer. Why? Because the music isn't about how hi-tech machine "hears" it, it is about how human brain "hears" it.
@themadhermit99, vibrato is when a tone modulates up and down in frequencies, typically 1-5 half notes with 4-8 hz.
Bel canto is a concept which refers to when a singer, sings with a vibrato on top of another vibrato, so that you get a dual modulation on to of a carrier note. This can be done in any type of music, from black metal to folk lore.
If you do not want to get the only instrument that will show you what bel canto is, then maybe you should shut tha fuck up while this is the topic.
@Idol2011no And how exactly can vibrato be on top of another vibrato? Do you thing singer can produce two voices? Do you realise vibrato and bel canto existed more than hundred years before spectrum analyzer?
And how on earth can you claim that scientists who skimmed through theory of music at best in order to name things in their programs can know what style of singing is better than musicians that learned it and performed it? Better than actual opera singers?
@Idol2011no And why must your every reply contain an insult? Bel Canto and music theory were invented way before "spectrum analyzer" was. Of course the program will simplify things and as jewelmarkess pointed out maybe it defines ALL thrills as vibrato. Do you have any musical education? I do.
If you want an example of Bel Canto, look up Maria Callas. She sung this aria as well. Notice how she does it differently from both Sissel and Netrebko.
@themadhermit99 I don't think just having Callas' singing this aria is a good example given that a good singer varies the style to suit the music and this music comes from a verismo opera. Now, having Callas sing Casta Diva would be a good example. I actually do think that when this guy talks about "extra modulation" he means a trill not really understanding that a trill is just an ornament, one among several types of ornaments that are common in bel canto music, so he got confused.
Regardless of how commercial Netrebko could be, I do believe she is one of the most talented opera singers on earth, very moving, and powerful but soft like silk at the same time.
@Idol2011no It sounds to me like you work with some voice recording and manipulation program. But do you think programmers of those actually took time to study history of music? They probably put "bel canto" randomly as a name of particular modulation. Any vocal teacher worth his salt would scoff at using electronics to estimate singer's voice. That stuff is for "talent" shows and "teachers" that use it don't produce next Pavarottis or Callases. Or Mercurys. Next one-hit wonders? Yes.
@Idol2011no First you said "operetta style, hereunder bel canto". Operetta developed in the latter half of 19th cent in West and Central Europe, NOT Italy. Bel canto lasted UNTIL first half of 19th cent. Bel canto is smooth, subtle style that AVOIDS VIBRATO. Singer expresses himself not with words, but voice. It got impossible to perform in pieces of late 19th century (Puccini). The music is too loud and dramatic, and singers had to rely on vibrato to be heard over it.
@Idol2011no You just don't understand how stupid this reply sounds.You don't have any valid arguments or respectable references so instead you just use random insults.What you don't get is that the fact that you find it necessary to resort to insults specifically shows that you have absolutely zero knowledge or arguments. I also wonder if you've heard someone singing a particular bel canto aria which had a lot of trills and confused trills with vibrato.
@jewelmarkess, I don't need any valid argument to fight your claim about bel canto is avoiding vibrato. You see, I've got no habit of beating a dead animal. They who are clueless, like you, and want to see a concluding evidence, they can at any time check with a spectrum analyzer. Bye bye moron.
@Idol2011no You DON'T HAVE any arguments at all which is the only reason why you have to use insults. I didn't mention avoiding vibrato, the other person mentioned it. What I said is that bel canto has absolutely nothing to do with Sissel or operetta or this aria; and that this aria belongs to a style called "verismo" which is very different of bel canto. BTW people who have valid arguments don't need insults. The use of insults is a clear sign that one is clueless but can't admit it.
@jewelmarkess, "bel canto" got to do with any piece of song. It depends on how the singer sings. Try to learn this concept before you rant away about it. Can you do that, clueless moron?
@Idol2011no This is a 6-part series about bel canto from a singer who sings a lot of it: /watch?v=rmBBK4ab6sU And here is Montserrat Caballe speaking about bel canto style in detail: /watch?v=_3ML6M1YFJY There are also videos of other masters of it - Pavarotti, Sutherland, Horne - discussing it. But of course, you think you know better because you have an analyzer that didn't even exist at the time the term bel canto was defined. Try learning something about the subject.
@TheVengador60 Maybe you should learn to speak politely too? It's OK that you don't like Netrebko, people are all different and have different preferences. But insulting her personally, claiming that she got ahead on anything but merit just because you don't like her is uncalled for. There are a lot of people who like her. As to English, this is an international website, and for many people English isn't their native language. Would you rather everyone wrote in one's own native language?
@Idol2011no Maybe someday you'll learn something about classical singing and opera as well as operetta. You got an obviously erroneous information as themadhermit99 pointed out, and you refuse to accept that what you think is the "scientific truth" (never mind that you cannot find any reference for it) may be wrong. You persist in your arrogant ignorance, and you refuse to even consider that your source might be wrong.
@Aerien Me too. I just heard her at the Met, in Anna Bolena. When you listen to her live unamplified voice, you just don't want it to stop. She also throws herself into roles, she is exciting.
Sissel is more refreshing and sharp with her equal power at base, 2. and 3. overtone, which is typical for operetta style, hereunder 'bel canto', rather than grand opera. Hayley is even sharper and ether neglect base tone all together or push all the power from 2. and 3., to the 4. and 5. overtone. It leaves us a sweet and childish sound, like crossover in overdrive.
As a mature human you shouldn't let others to decide what is better, like you don't allow others to tell you what wine taste good.

@Idol2011no You misunderstand the term "bel canto" , do look it up, it has NOTHING to do with this aria. Puccini's style is called "verismo" which is very different from bel canto. Sissel is NOT an opera singer while Anna Netrebko is one, so it's a bit like apples to oranges. As to "more power" - Anna Netrebko sings in operas where there are no microphones and where Sissel would simply not be heard. Or course, what each of us prefers is a matter of taste.
@jewelmarkess, bel canto is a singing style and is not bounded by pieces or composers.
You're obviously a clueless moron.
No, it's not like comparing apples and oranges when I explicit explain what characterize different techniques and voices. In my comparing I did only emphasize what they got in common, namely harmonic fingerprints. Yet another confirmation to support you're a clueless moron.
@Idol2011no Ad hominem attacks is certainly a way to make your point. Yes, bel canto is a singing style, but it's NOT Puccini's style. It is a style that is ASSOCIATED with concrete time period and composers. Puccini style is verismo. Verismo is not bel canto. One of bel canto characteristics is a lot of ornamentation. Do you hear it here? BTW - which of the operas written in bel canto style have you listened to?
@Idol2011no From wiki: "As generally understood nowadays, the term "bel canto" refers to the Italian-originated vocal style that prevailed throughout most of Europe during the 18th century and lingered in a less elaborate but still dominant form until around 1840. " Oh, and while you may well prefer Sissel, but she isn't an opera singer, and couldn't go near bel canto. Listen to some Rossini, Bellini or Donizetti. BTW, when was the last time you've been to opera?
@jewelmarkess, a vocal style is not the same as an opera style, Complete Moron.
Bel canto is scientific recognized when a singer sings with an extra modulation on top of a vibrato and is visualized in a spectrogram as a "mass broken" wave when looking at it in time/frequency domain. It makes a distinct fingerprint inevitable to overlook. Maybe you should get yourself a spectrum analyzer before you spew out more that cannot be anything but rant?
@Idol2011no The fact that you cannot make a simple argument without resorting to name-calling and ad hominem attacks doesn't exactly talk to the strength of your arguments. Would you care to show a SINGLE reference to your definition of "bel canto"? I don't need a spectrum analyzer, I know something about opera and classical singing and you clearly know nothing about either. Again, you make a lot of unsubstantiated claims. Some references please?
@Idol2011no Are you sure the shoe isn't on the other foot? I am still waiting for references for your definition. If this is a "scientific definition" as you claim, funny how there isn't a single reputable source agreeing with you. Funny how wiki's article on bel canto doesn't make a single mention of it, they all must be "morons" too. There are a number of videos here to, none of them seem to agree with you. Oh, and do look up "grand opera" too as you clearly have no clue what it is.
sorry guys, but the best ever sang "o mio babbino caro" song is by Carmen Monarcha (from Andre Rieu concert in Tuscany). Carmen's performance and voice is just beautiful. brings tears in my eyes each time i watch it. you can watch it here. wwwdotyoutubedotcom/watch?v=AaQrgo2OZyY
This beautiful suprano is my personal favourite and I always enjoy hearing her sing and taking in her beauty, are we not lucky in this world to have many supurb singers and a vast array of music to listen to
Beautifull but please go Naomi Montero O mio babbino caro this little girl sings like an angel she sings Time to say good bye too is beautiful please go here in youtube
I'm speechless, I LOVE her voice, its so deep and sweet at the same time but I also like Tarja Turunen's and Floor Jansen's version :D This is absolutely flawless! she is my new idol :D
@scoorpio931031 yes you're right, i mean I like Floor but real opera is not for her...Tarja is really good indeed, but Anna is the queen among opera singers :)
I agree, though I'd have to say that she's more queen of "dark" opera singers-- with so many voice classifications and tone colorations, it's hard to pick one person to reign over all. And of course this entire business of picking favorites is purely opinionated, even in the professional world. I think Netrebko and Turunen have very similar vocal qualities: dark tone, brilliant vibrati and rich fullness.
Strange they turned music from a pasta advert into opera!

@jewelmarkess - quite right, this is indeed a comedic opera. However, many singers over time have, when sung as a solo piece as it was here, reinterpreted the piece to be more tragic and poignant, such as the magnificent Anna has done here, and then performed it with a more comedic aspect when done on stage in the full opera. Both interpretations are wonderful, and just a matter of your listening preference.

@RoboSlater This is a comic opera so the girl may well be play-acting for her father's benefit and has no intention of throwing herself into the river. A beauty of the love she feels - yes she is in love, yet she is asking her father to commit fraud. A lot of singers play the comedy aspect more. Regardless, it's the matter of preference, Callas was amazingly expressive, I agree with that.

@raindyns I heard her live at the Met, and yes her voice is gorgeous. As to the mic - as you probably know opera singers sing without microphones when performing in opera theaters/classical music halls where the acoustic allows it. In places like a tv studio where the sound is recorded or outdoors they usually are at 3-5 foot distance from the mic or they'll blow it. It is a beautiful aria.

I'd also like to add one more thing here as well. This is a prime example where someone makes you feel the story very deeply. Too often friends say that opera is easier for me to appreciate because I understand Italian. But, in my view, when properly performed, operan should be able to be enjoyed by anyone, whether you understand the language, or whether you can't understand a single word. Simply through intonation, gesture, and pure feeling, one should be able to follow the basic story, an

@Victor20376 The girl could wel be manipulating her father; she isn't asking him to buy a wedding ring but to help boy's relatives steal the inheritance so that they'll agree to the wedding. Regardless, opera requires suspension of disbelief, any theater does: we believe that a blue colored cloth is a river, painted planks - a palace, etc. In opera a woman dying TB sings "at the top of her lungs"; an overweight male may play a starving poet, etc. It's music first, then words.

@jewelmarkess, you're right. I don't care to read something written by humans hooked by humanistic rant. I'm a scientific person and don't trust what a concept is believed to consist of. If bel canto is something important within singing and if two singers can sing the same song with and without bel canto, then bel canto must have to do with the sound. Simple deduction. I know I'm right about bel canto. I did prove it beyond any reasonable doubt. No Liar, I never bound bel canto to any style.
Idol2011no 3 months ago
@Idol2011no Here is what I think. I think you work with recording or analyzing of sounds, you maybe very good at it. I think you may have heard some singing labeled as bel canto - it could be of a singer singing a trill or it could've been not bel canto at all. You analyzed it and saw this modulation. After that you decided that this is the main characteristic of bel canto even though a) it could not be characteristic of bel canto at all b) it could be one of common ornaments.
jewelmarkess 3 months ago
@jewelmarkess, you're not that far from the truth. First I did some research to find thousands of examples of what is called bel canto. In combination with this synthesis I ran it through the rules of definition assuming "bel canto" is something important within singing and the sound of it specifically. When I found the common denominator I used a high speed camera to locate what is physically special about bel canto.
When you call an era "bel canto" you should now understand what it means.
Idol2011no 3 months ago
@Idol2011no Have you published your research? Did it pass peer review? Are you sure all of your samples were correct? Have you eliminated other styles to make sure that your characteristic doesn't also apply to other styles such as the style used in verismo or baroque? Your research also makes an assumption and If this basic assumption is wrong - that there is this single specific sound - then your whole research falls apart. There are a lot of holes in your research.
jewelmarkess 3 months ago
@jewelmarkess, no, I am working for the industry and my research is part of a top secret study to develop a technical tool to help customers to learn to sing.
Bel canto can hardly be called a style. It's a singing technique, and yes, it can be applied to many, if not most singing style. No, there is no assumption about a specific sound. Are you not able to hold premise apart from conclusion? It may be holes in my study, but nothing that you have unveiled, you arrogant windbag.
Idol2011no 3 months ago
@Idol2011no Again, it is your assumption that bel canto is has a single defining sound. This is what you were looking for from the start. Additionally, it's not clear which data you used and how you eliminated other "techniques". Think about it. Your samples could've had a lot of trills. A trill can be easily though of as extra modulation. But trills are used in bel canto, not it's single defining sound, and other things can mimic trills (for the analyzer) too like bad vibrato.

@Idol2011no About trills:. Trill (shake) is a musical ornament consisting of rapid alteration of two adjacent notes. To people who aren't familiar with it, it may seem like an exaggerated controlled vibrato, but the technique is different. BUT. Trill is just an ornament. While ONE OF the characteristics of bel canto is a lot of ornaments, other styles can also use trills too. Sometimes bad technique makes vibrato so wide it sounds almost like a trill. This wouldn't be bel canto.
jewelmarkess 3 months ago
@jewelmarkess, "ornament" is a typical concept used by humans of humanistic education, but not scientific. In context of producing sound by singing it holds no precise meaning what so ever. This suits well among humanistic crackpots where the idealistic picture includes the possibility to rant about what they do without any danger of being proven wrong. Under such condition it is important to practice floating abstractions. "It's most important to protect the good mood!"
Idol2011no 3 months ago
@Idol2011no There is a very clear, precise meaning of "ornament" in music with very clear musical notation for each type. These are known to anybody who's ever studied music. You problem is that you are analyzing something you know very little about to begin with. You take an existing term, you make an assumption that it must have a single defining sound, and then you run a bunch of examples (some could've been misidentified too) and without a good control set. It'd never pass a peer review.

@themadhermit99, vibrato is when a tone modulates up and down in frequencies, typically 1-5 half notes with 4-8 hz.
Bel canto is a concept which refers to when a singer, sings with a vibrato on top of another vibrato, so that you get a dual modulation on to of a carrier note. This can be done in any type of music, from black metal to folk lore.
If you do not want to get the only instrument that will show you what bel canto is, then maybe you should shut tha fuck up while this is the topic.

If you want an example of Bel Canto, look up Maria Callas. She sung this aria as well. Notice how she does it differently from both Sissel and Netrebko.
themadhermit99 3 months ago
@themadhermit99 I don't think just having Callas' singing this aria is a good example given that a good singer varies the style to suit the music and this music comes from a verismo opera. Now, having Callas sing Casta Diva would be a good example. I actually do think that when this guy talks about "extra modulation" he means a trill not really understanding that a trill is just an ornament, one among several types of ornaments that are common in bel canto music, so he got confused.

Sissel is NOT an opera singer while Anna Netrebko is one, so it's a bit like apples to oranges. As to "more power" - Anna Netrebko sings in operas where there are no microphones and where Sissel would simply not be heard. Or course, what each of us prefers is a matter of taste.

@jewelmarkess, a vocal style is not the same as an opera style, Complete Moron.
Bel canto is scientific recognized when a singer sings with an extra modulation on top of a vibrato and is visualized in a spectrogram as a "mass broken" wave when looking at it in time/frequency domain. It makes a distinct fingerprint inevitable to overlook. Maybe you should get yourself a spectrum analyzer before you spew out more that cannot be anything but rant?

@Idol2011no The fact that you cannot make a simple argument without resorting to name-calling and ad hominem attacks doesn't exactly talk to the strength of your arguments. Would you care to show a SINGLE reference to your definition of "bel canto"? I don't need a spectrum analyzer, I know something about opera and classical singing and you clearly know nothing about either. Again, you make a lot of unsubstantiated claims. Some references please?
jewelmarkess 3 months ago
@jewelmarkess, agree, but it feel so good to talk down on a complete clueless moron who got no scientific relationship to music.
Oh yes, indeed you need a spectrum analyzer to understand what bel canto actually is, clueless moron.

@Idol2011no Are you sure the shoe isn't on the other foot? I am still waiting for references for your definition. If this is a "scientific definition" as you claim, funny how there isn't a single reputable source agreeing with you. Funny how wiki's article on bel canto doesn't make a single mention of it, they all must be "morons" too. There are a number of videos here to, none of them seem to agree with you. Oh, and do look up "grand opera" too as you clearly have no clue what it is.

Il timbro della Netrebko e' meraviglioso. La tecnica no. Fino a che non canta i Puritani, ci puo' stare.

@Daniliz81 Floor messed up this song when she tried -unsuccessfully- to sing this beautifull aria... such a pitty... but Tarja is amazing :D

@scoorpio931031 yes you're right, i mean I like Floor but real opera is not for her...Tarja is really good indeed, but Anna is the queen among opera singers :)

@Daniliz81
I agree, though I'd have to say that she's more queen of "dark" opera singers-- with so many voice classifications and tone colorations, it's hard to pick one person to reign over all. And of course this entire business of picking favorites is purely opinionated, even in the professional world. I think Netrebko and Turunen have very similar vocal qualities: dark tone, brilliant vibrati and rich fullness.
