Cornell MacNeil - Gran Dio...Oh de\ Cornell MacNeil - Gran Dio...Oh de'verd'anni miei - Ernani
Posted by: MrCafiero

Video duration: 300 seconds

Cornell MacNeil (born 24 September 1922 in Minneapolis, Minnesota) sing this aria from the Met in 1962! A true Verdi baritone with the darkness of a bass and the ringing top of a dramatic tenor. We no longer hear voices like this singing Verdi. Dark voices with no core/squillo are just as bad as bright voices with only core/squillo, but no darkness to balance it. MacNeil had chiaroscuro.

Birgit Nilsson (May 17, 1918 December 25, 2005) My favorite recording of this aria from Wagner's Tristan und Isolde!!!!! AMAZING! Her voice was so efficient and balanced. Virtually no constriction which allowed for tremendous power.

Mattia Battistini, (27 February 1856 7 November 1928)was born in Rome. He studied voice with Persechini was was also the voice teacher of Titta Ruffo and Giuseppe di Luca. Many consider his baritone the most beautiful in history. He had great register balance and coordination. Listen to how clear the vowels are even in the passaggio and top as he "covers". Amazing.

Carlo Tagliabue (Mariano Comense, January 13, 1898 Monza, April 5, 1978) was an incredible Italian baritone. In his book Voci Parallele Giacomo Lauri-Volpi wrote, "[Tagliabue] is the only survivor of a school that knows that in Rigoletto, in Ballo in Maschera, Trovatore, Traviata a melodramatic piece should be sung, measured and breathed musically in line with the mastery of great art."

Mario Ancona - A tanto amor - La Favorita - Donizetti Mario Ancona - A tanto amor - La Favorita - Donizetti
Posted by: MrCafiero

Video duration: 224 seconds

Mario Ancona (1860 - 1931) was one of the most beautiful baritone voices in history. Once again we hear perfectly balanced vocal registration, clear vowels, balanced chiaroscuro, and very little constriction. The role of Silvio from Leoncavallo's Pagliacci was written for him. This is a true bel canto voice based on the true bel canto principles of balanced vocal registration. Enjoy!

Cornell MacNeil (born 24 September 1922 in Minneapolis, Minnesota) sing this aria from the Met in 1962! A true Verdi baritone with the darkness of a bass and the ringing top of a dramatic tenor. I think it is funny how the conductor is going way too fast in the beginning and MacNeil slows him right down!
