Thaks to all of you for the comments! He is one of my favorit tenors. Sobinov (like Shaliapin or Nelepp)sings using the classical Italian techniqe (low larenx,full respiration, very clear articulation) with a very Russian musical performence, and I think it sounds wonderfull.

Old imperial Russian school! Sung as it was originally meant!

[enricodicapri]

@moo7chi7ld it's the low larinx and the tonge aout of the back of the throat that makes him sound a bit strange specially in some S

Merci pour le post ...

[seektheforce]

@moo7chi7ld I think you should talk to someone more qualified than I. I don't know.

[moo7chi7ld]

@seektheforce THANK YOU I had. noticed the pp on celeste aida, long after I wrote this. But what about the lisping in corelli's pronunciation? Did he have a speech problem? or was it the low larynx intereing ?

[seektheforce]

@moo7chi7ld Corelli could sing pianissimo, watch?v=j8gkIPg7pw0

Note the diminuendo at the end.

[seektheforce]

@moo7chi7ld On the contrary Corelli could sing Piannissimo, note the diminuendo at the end of this one.
