Cornell MacNeil (born 24 September 1922 in Minneapolis, Minnesota) A true Verdi baritone with the darkness of a bass and the ringing top of a dramatic tenor. We no longer hear voices like this singing Verdi. Dark voices with no core/squillo are just as bad as bright voices with only core/squillo, but no darkness to balance it. MacNeil had chiaroscuro. Sorry about the slight skip at the end.

  • POSTO ORA DOPO 20 COMMENTI DEI QUALI NESSUNO NELLA MIA LINGUA.PUO' DARSI BENISSIMO CHE MOLTI ITALIANI NON CONOSCANO QUESTO BARITONO,SICURAMENTE POCHISSIMI FAN DI LEO NUCCI LO HANNO ASCOLTATO.SE LO FACESSERO USEREBBERO,D'ORA IN POI,MAGGIOR SOBRIETA' E CAUTELA NEL DEFINIRE IL PROPRIO BENIAMINO COME IL PIU' GRANDE BARITONO DI TUTTI I TEMPI O IL MIGLIOR RIGOLETTO DEL SECOLO.QUANTO A MAC NEIIL,SI COMMENTA DA SOLO,GRAN VOCE DI AUTENTICO BARITONO DI VECCHIA SCUOLA

  • @ElSalvador50 Yeah, but I am not sure Hines was heavier. I guess you would have to hear them both live. lol.  Both were HUGE voices. I always was disappointed that Hines got woofy early on. I think Mardones was pretty heavy.

  • @MrCafiero I agree completely, I only made that comparison because you were comparing his voice with basses with another user.

  • @ElSalvador50 Ruffo. Hines was a bass so it is hard to compare. MacNeil had more squillante than Hines.

  • @MrCafiero The only voice I can think of that was "heavier" than MacNeil's was Jerome Hines

  • @saiserieht yes -you are absolutely correct -- the wobble isn't evident yet --- he sounds like a youthful artist here!

  • Did Mr McNeil sing La Forza? I am looking for his" Urna Fatale" If you have it perhaps you could pleasure us with that  Thank you!

  • @MrCafiero I want to start in opera. I live in Florida and I am looking on how to start here. Thanks.
