  • Man, DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHEN AND WHERE WAS THIS?

  • Proud to call Greg an alum from my university, Illinois State! WOO!!

  • VELIČANSTVENO

  • wow... simply amazing!!!

  • BRAVO !!!!!!

  • @senesino83 yes, I get that. But I think it's unfair that ppl criticise modern opera singers for singing the note in full voice 'piggily', especially since orchestras are so much bigger, and public expectation is not in favour of falsetto notes.

  • @flaze3 Sorry for the typo - I was certainly not very awake.

    What I wanted to point out is, high C in chest voice was really NOT *the* thing before Donizetti and considered as a terrible lack of good taste - interesting to see how our tastes change throughout the times...

  • @senesino83 surely 'described AS', lol. To my knowledge screaming monkeys are not generally opera critics!

    I'm all for a high C in chest voice, and I think it can sound very exciting. It's just silly that ppl get so strung up about it, comparing one singer to another, bla bla bla.

  • @flaze3 And, if I may say something, what is all this post-19th Century obsession with it being in chest or pure head modal voice? This was certainly NOT sung in anything near chest until Donizetti's time - do we have to go and read again how tenors who tried even a high-C in chest were described by "screaming monkeys" by the real belcanto people back then? Tenors DID use pure head / modal voice for such extreme notes and even for not so high notes... :)
