Christopher Diffey singing 'Quanto e bella' from Donizetti's L'Elisir d'Amore - recorded live at The Barn Gallery, Montsalvat in Eltham, Australia December 6th 2008. The pianist is Stefan Cassomenos
Gaetano Donizetti , fu uno dei maggiori compositori di musica operistica italiana del primo Ottocento e precursore del dramma musicale alla Giuseppe Verdi.L'ELISIR D'AMORE..l'elisir d'amore è un' opera in due atti musicata da Gaetano Donizetti su libretto di Felice Romani....
He's good, but his /a" vowels are too darkened, as he's singing an /o/ vowel. He cuts off the bright side of the vowel, the higher frequencies in this way and in my opinion he shouldn't, as his voice is quite nice naturally. Vowel modication occurring on high pitches should be minimal and gradual, not a rule on every note ( he does it on E and F which still could be sung intelligibly). But bravo, and he sings with passion and taste.
the pianist, is he Greek?!
