Nessun Dorma by Mark Janicello

A 90 Second Retrospective of Productions with American Tenor Mark Janicello. The Three Tenors may have made this aria famous, but Mark Janicello makes it infamous for the longest phrase (27 Seconds) ever recorded in this aria.
For all of you who think the long tone at the end of this aria is a studio trick -- go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0wD42TlWGc That is a live performance video from June 21, 2008.

Mark... you have the talent. Maybe the the times are different now, with all the media, Internet, Radio Stations etc etc etc...You know, people will always complain no matter what you do... People nowadays still critizise Pavarotti...and end of the story... I wish I have the chance to see you perform live... seriously

Thanks Charly, You're very kind. Everyone has an opinion. I sing the way I sing. People like it or not. That's their choice. I respect their right to express themselves, but I respectfully choose to disagree, if I feel they are being unjust. This video has gotten a tremendous amount of criticism, because of the last phrase. If you do somthing like that, you have to be prepared to take the negative with the positive.

Comments:

-Great, now you can't sing for a year!

-Only the deaf can enjoy this!

and final,

-this is what it sounds like when a tenor got his feet squashed by a 200 pound gorilla, got recorded, and then the scratched record keot going and going.

An one for pity:

-One of the most artistic shrieks in music history.

Thank you for your kind remarks. Glad you enjoyed yourself. Mark Janicello

I think a lot of singers can hold this note. Its actually, only supposed to be touched as per Puccini, and some hold it a few beats. I don't like it held to short or to long. There is a point where it seems "just right" and this was way to long in my opinion.

[scobeepesch]

You are a true artist. Wow, just beautiful.

but.he.was.flat.

[kkwilson27]

Wow! That was a Vincero! Pavarotti would be proud.

[AllardFumerton69]

Rip the audio from this clip at tubepull doht cohm.

[ulisseclisse]

EEEEEEEEE' MOLTO BELLO,ma non mi sembra la tonalità originale del NESSUN DORMA! TECNICI,CONTROLLATE!

[roundedges2]

Impressive technical feat. Not neccesarily musical.... The vibrato gets a little quavery as he tires.

[DonPaolissimo]

Some voice coach ought to clue him in - the words are, "nessun dorma", NOT nessun-a dor-a-ma!!!!! Was it me, or was the last note wavering between pitches???

[CuyoChan]

al final esta desfazado la pista con el cambio de voz? no creen
