@TheVoicelesson I've had a paralyzed vocal cord, for which I was treated by one of the best singing specialist laryngologists in the US and beyond. He assured me that there hadn't been anything wrong with my technique. Such paralyses, he told me, occur far more often from viral infections.

I have also read the accounts of London's primary laryngologist, who theorized that London's problem began with a case of hepatitis in 1959-60; and therefore had NOTHING to do with his technique.

Des résonances pâteuses et surchargées.Le charme n'opère pas sur moi...

@BobBouillabaisseEsq No, you spoke out of turn because that's the only way you ever do. Now, do you have anything to offer about George London's technique? That's what I thought. You remain a pathetic loser, stalking people who have formerly made an ass of you on other sites. Not hard to do. So long, Chowderhead.

@BobBouillabaisseEsq And you are a pathetic loser reduced to stalking on Youtube and commenting on things which you know nothing about. But then, you always did that, didn't you Fish Head. Fuck off, moron.

@TheVoicelesson You moron. The paralyzed cord, (not chord, as you spelled it, idiot), was due to illness, i.e., a stroke.

@corellipersempre Well, I'm flattered. Thanks for creating an account just to reply to me. I may have hit a nerve!

Bastianini, Corelli, del Monaco, etc. have all of my respect and admiration. As for George london, you have to accept that he had a terrible vocal technique, which led to a paralyzed vocal chord. You know that, right?

He sang the legendary role of Boris and was one of the first foreigners to sing it at the Bolshoy Theatre in Moscow - where some of the best basses on earth sing. An American (if not mistaken) version of Boris highlights exists on cd alongside Mussorsky's Pictures at an Exhibition recording on 1 cd. There is another CD of him performing highlight arias for Bass;bass-baritone by the name of 'Gods and Demons' and a Carnegie hall recital. And there exists even a version of Don Giovanni

I created an account just to reply to you;

It does anger me and show the shallowness of today's ape mind when one sees such a post- all those who know what singing is should have respect for voices unique such as George London had - I do not mean not that one should not question but these where artist of grandeur which thanks to people like you are now obsolete - who, one asks can nowadays sing like London, Bastianini, Corelli, Del Monaco etc? Null singing teachers?
