You can say that Bel Canto originated in Baroque, but then became a whole thing within itself. If you compare, for instance, Bellini, Donizetti and Rossini to Vivaldi and Händel, you'll see a huge gap. All of them had ornaments, but with different usage and relation between voice and orchestra. So you can say that bel canto is bel canto. it came from Baroque and ended in Romantic.

Simply putting, in the Baroque it was up to the singers, it was THEIR show,,,they did not care about the drama, SIMPLICITY simply was no part of the thing-the result was nothing more nothing less than FIRE WORKS! The Bel Canto era, the composers took control back and the singers were their vessel.

Wow. I'm amazed at Maria's quick little bits of singing. I always thought her trills were loose and wobbly after 1954. She sure proved me wrong!

We are talking MUSICIANSHIP and artistry here ...not just technique! Callas was born with the instinct - she also worked harder than most musicians if de Hidalgo's stories were anything to go by. Music and text just came together in phrases that sounded completely natural. As to what happened to her voice, she lost more than 1/3 of her body weight in the transition from dramatic soprano to the bel canto repertoire. That was RUINOUS.

Trills are always a means of expression. Period. If U understand that, the rest will come along too.
