  • @sirdelrio I agree that the "expert" wasn't spot on in his pronunciation, but there is definitely 2 Italianate O sounds-open and closed, the same goes for E vowels as well. Of course, both open and closed vowels need to be extremely pure, unlike English intermediate vowels.

  • he pronounced 'ricordo' as 'ricardo', terrible.

  • no wonder singers sound funny in italian: ricordo, ha! no! it is as you did it first, mister expert. With an O, flat O, no intermediate sounds as in your native language.

  • thank you for sharing ! other viedo with kanawa's class

  • THANK YOU! :)

  • amazing! amazing!

    it's just as "breath" AND "be happy :D"!!!!

  • Wonderful--thank you so much!
