Dear Vic, Thank you for posting this. I have sat here with tears in my eyes listening to my darling Maestro in his prime. You can here the purity of his tone and technique. One of my students found it . It's beautiful! The same student says he now understands what is required of a Bel Canto teno...

Caro George,

La voce a divenuto piu libera . Hai comincato ad "inhalare" la voce e non spingere troppo come prima. "Spinto" non significa che si deve spingere in gola.

Ben fatto! Auguri!

@FunkMan53 Your father was a truly great singer.We singers certainly wont forget him.

Thank you for posting these.My teacher Eduardo Asquez always got me to listen to Fleta . He is such a consumate technician as well as having the most beautiful voice and phrasing. Right up there with Bjoerling.

C'e una tecnica che si chiama "Mixed Belt" che era stata usata di Birgit Nilsson e Iussi Bjoerling. Lo imperato io da Eduardo Asquez a...

The intonation in this video is not what one would expect of an artist of Vanzo's stature. Nor is the legato line so fine.A number of final e mutes are stressed accidentally. Perhaps he was indisposed? The diminuendo of the C5 is wonderful.

@opera888able The language errors in Bjoerlings work are actually very few and far between. He did care if he got it right, I know that from working with coaches in Scandinavia who had worked with him. Errors are far more apparent in the work of some of our more recent leading tenors. If you wis...

Not strictly speaking her first solo recital,that was done in New Zealand.Her first in Europe. Beautiful girl and exquisite singing.
