Michael Maniaci - O figlio dell'amore - Meyerbeer
Loading...
Uploaded by jeanpcollins on Apr 1, 2008
This wonderful production of Meyerbeer's opera "Il Crociato In Egitto" was recorded at Teatro La Fenice, Venice, in January 2007.
In this aria, Armando (Michael Maniaci) is singing to his son, Mirva.
**********
O figlio dell'amore
My son! Ah, dear Mirva!
Oh child of love, with tender smile.
Tenderly your father
takes you to his breast,
And as I do, my eye is tricked,
and in you, my son,
I believe I kiss the mother of love.
Oh tender embraces! Oh innocent charms!
In such delights my heart now languishes,
and in the son I kiss the mother of love.

Wow. It's cause he can really sing those couluratura lines without pushing his voice. He sounds natural. It's a true gift with a voice so rare.

Maniacici maybe the closest singer to a true Castrato singer. Even better his vocal ability is natural and not from surgery or other methods.

He has a nice vibrato. Unlike other natural sopranos.

I found myself envying that little boy; to be able to hold his ear to the chest of someone singing with a voice like that.....

In case you have any plans to upload some more of this I would recommend the finale of Act 2, he hits a very low note there (after saving the sultan's life), it should give people better idea about his vocal range and silence those who say that he doesn't use his chest voice (check the latest comments for the 'Chi perde un momento' video).

Sound seems to be fine now, I can hear it fine with headphones. Thank you for the extra time you spent re-uploading this.
