  • MacNeill had perhaps the widest ranging and most powerful baritone voice ever. He had a great basso low C and a great tenor high C. No other baritone in history could match that range. He had his problems stabilizing such a voice, but when he was having a good night he was in a league of his own.

  • Look at Macneil. He IS Michele! He looks like a genuine, bitter, pissed off old fisherman. And he sings like a beast!

  • @stevevandien I still think the high G has most of the body his high Gs always had. Think of it this way: Robert Merrill's high G was gone after the 50s, and MacNeil still had his up until his 60s!

  • This has to be sung as he did. Is there another way? Angry, bitter, punishing the world around him. By the way, the high tone is a g. Most of the tessitura is in the middle where the singer can open his voice optimally. This man was a high bass-baritone who had the courage of singing - and staying - at the dramatic baritone´s range. The Italian repertoire was very lucky in having such a singer.

  • Macneil est le meilleur baryton qu'il chante Verdi, Puccini ...

    C'est le meileur !!!

  • @mauroangelucci Bravo

  • l'eterno riposo dona a Lui,riposi in pace Amen e Grazie..........!!!!!!!

  • An amazing performance from an amazing baritone. RIP Maestro.

  • RIP to one of the glories of the Metropolitan Opera, Cornell McNeill.

  • Ho saputo che è mancato a tutti noi quest'oggi! Riposi in pace! Maestro.

  • @hubcity1981 One of the finest singing actors ever to walk on the Met stage. He didn't just SING Michele, or Scarpia, or Iago, he BECAME the character, with every look, gesture, and note. I heard his last performance at the Met, a 12/5/87 broadcast of "Tosca," opposite Behrens and Mauro, and his Scarpia could STILL raise the fur on your back, even at that late date.

  • il meglio purtroppo è sempre nel passato!

    Che meraviglia!!!!
