Jerry Hadley & Diana Soviero - Parigi o cara - La Traviata - Verdi

Jerry Hadley (June 16, 1952 July 18, 2007) was a student of my teacher from 1978, after getting his masters degree in music from the University of Illinois in 1977. He then started teaching at the University of Connecticut. A 1993 article by Noël Goodwin in Opera magazine stated, "After 15 years Hadley still goes back to this Sicilian American who, he says, gave him confidence and secure knowledge of what he is doing with his voice at any given time, through teaching methods that are direct and physiological." Hadley also stated, "(I was) lucky above all else to have found a teacher in New York without whom I really doubt I could have really built the career I have." Here he displays wonderful balanced vocal registration and release of constriction which are the cornerstones of the technique that he learned and that I teach.

Hadley also said in the above referenced article, "Pedagogy today has begun to confuse ease with constriction. Teachers instill fear in young singers by telling them to be careful, and not to waste it."

Great opera singers,thanks to MrCafiero for this uploading!

[jhugo1977]

Superb!

[Kievest]

Jerry Handley's voice was capable of

great emotional power and subtlety!

It was burnished to a high polish

with a shimmering resonance that

fit so well with Soviero's tonal quality!

Both had crisp diction but also deep

feeling for the poetry of the words and

fulfill Verdi's intentions in this duet to

perfection! Thank you, MrCafiero, for

uploading this special performance!

[jfsanin]
