I love every word Luciano Pavarotti says ... so true! A real maestro of his art ! I never forget 'til I die ! Thank you Luciano - you gave so much passion and truth !
4 people dislike this? Some of the greatest singers of the 20th century talking about what they do and how they do it. I feel so sorry for 4 people. Thank you for uploading...
Thank you for posting this, I have just started to learn how to sing Italian opera and the techniques that the great Pavarotti uses are the ones that I am learning. Bravo. Thanks again.
I love this so much. He teach it as my teacher does. I'm so sad there is not so many people who can sing bel canto. Sometimes it's more yelling than singing. I really want to learn a feel it all the ways i can. Bel canto must survive!
3:40 is a perfect example of breath and passaggio. The voice is on the breath and nothing is blocking it so the the voice turns (or covers) on the F. This is something Domingo, Carreras or DiStefano could never do.
+Michael Budinger I would absolutely disagree. Some singers can do it naturally and never need to learn it, like Alagna (in French rep but sometimes also in Italian) or Renata Tebaldi. Natural singers tend to loose it later in their careers, as Tebaldi did, she began to open above an F and couldn't sing much above a B by the the end of her career. But the singers you know worked at this are the singers that improve and improve through out their careers like Marcelo Alvarez, Ramon Vargas. My ideal example is actually the baritone Giorgio Zancanarro. His passagio and top are absolute singing lessons, or Antonietta Stella or Giulietta Simionato. The reason why it takes ten years to perfect is because it goes against the bodies natural instinct. If you naturally breath high, when you use the diaphragm and work on placing the voice on the breath it feels like you're being strangled and that creates a lot of tension, blocking the breath with abdominals which will then close the throat, or ..
+Michael Budinger pushing the breath up which will also close the throat, this is what Domingo does as well as many heldentenors. You have to eliminate all wrong natural instincts which is incredibly difficult to do. Also when you first work on the passagio, it sounds awful and wrong, like the voice is completely wild and broken, and slowly that irons out the more you work as the voice gets used to the technique. Ask any of the great singers how long it takes, and they'll tell you years. That's why I'm always dubious of the ones who begins their careers in their early 20's.
+Alex Daniel It has nothing to do with the diaphragm. It is a simple position of the throat. I developed this after about 6 months of self teaching, of course it is fair to say I am way more intuitive and intelligent than the average person so maybe you are right that it takes a regular person a long time and I am also right that it is simple.
+Alex Daniel Ironic enough, how I developed it so quickly was my focus on "beautiful singing" which in its essence is an unconstricted Larynx which can express the deepest and truest emotions of the human spirit. This goes hand in hand with having an unconstricted and low resting Diaphragm which makes me retract my statement that "it has NOTHING to do with the diaphragm". The main problem with singers of today is that they are all emotionally constipated and the crucial muscles are locked tight in position since childhood. Years and years and years of breathing exercises and loud vocalizing such as opera might, MIGHT unconstrict these parts by chance, but it is rare. So we are both right, really.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH!!!! JUST HAD A REVELATION!!! So cantar in Spanish is to sing and bonita is beautiful. The 'I' conjugation for cantar is canto which means I sing. So bonita canto would be beautiful in Spanish but translate that to Italian and you get Bel Canto- Beautiful singing. OOOOOHHHH BABY! I FEEL LIKE SHERLOCK HOLMES
The earliest use of the term "bel canto" occurred in late 17th-century Italy, when it was applied to a sophisticated model of singing that was evolving there among practitioners of operatic and sacred music. The term did not become widely used, however, until the middle of the next century, which was the heyday of opera seria, the static but technically challenging da capo aria, and the now-extinct castrato voice.
."In a narrower application, the term "bel canto" is sometimes attached exclusively to Italian opera of the time of Gioachino Rossini (1792-1868), Vincenzo Bellini (1801-1835) and Gaetano Donizetti (1797-1848). These three composers wrote bravura works for the stage during what musicologists call the bel canto era, which lasted approximately from 1805 to 1840. wiki
Singer/author John Potter declares in his book Tenor: History of a Voice (Yale University Press, 2009, p. 31) that: "For much of the 18th century castrati defined the art of singing; it was the loss of their irrecoverable skills that in time created the myth of bel canto, a way of singing and conceptualizing singing that was entirely different from anything that the world had heard before or would hear again wiki
These people all have a nasal twang when they speak. This continues when they sing. occasionally the sound is more related to the mouth, then it is more attractive. The method of putting it in the nose is used by pop stars as the easiest way to sound just a little better than the ordinary person.
The bel canto era preserved many of the Baroque's musical values, although such characteristic forms as opera seria and the da capo aria did not survive the passing of the 18th century. Changing tastes and social standards also killed off the operatic castrato voice and ensured the concomitant rise to singing supremacy of the prima donna soprano and the virtuoso tenor. (The last important opera role for a castrato was written in 1824 by Giacomo Meyerbeer [1791-1864]. wiki
Bonynge has no clue. Belcanto has nothing to do with castrati. That man was dangerously incompetent. No wonder he got booed in Italy when he massacred Verdi together with Sutherland.
he was speaking about never singin in the jaw, in the mouth, that covers the sound, makes it thick tp the listener, i think his meaning of "mucus sound". Truly, the real bel canto is entirely out of the mouth, placed much higher, resonating around the third eye! or higher...
as pessoas sevalon muintu sobre o grandismus Pavarotti e que elles valun e poucu porque as pallavras nao dar pra faser as respostas porque Pavarotti e mais grande de todus as palavras e letras juntos ..... Sarkis Matta.
А теперь попросите так же гениально просто спеть эту фразу какого - нибудь современного тенора ....вот такое бельканто продемонстрировать...! Не найдете такого , уверяю вас ! Звёзды Бецало ,Кауфманн ...? Это лишь жалкие тени тех великих певцов теноров ...?!
Is there anyone who knows what Pavarotti was speaking about during the 1st minute of this video. It is so poorly edited that I cannot gather what the previous moments are about. He talks about a "mucus sound". I would assume he's speaking about placement, but am not sure

He was a treasure....

Some people just can’t appreciate true music, unfortunately.
Bel canto is classical way of singing riffs and runs including scales. Its a beautiful and difficult way to sing
He is so funny R.I.P Luciano . We love you forever .

Good lord! What a find! Thanks for uploading!
What an amazing moment this video is. Thank you.
So much good stuff in here!
This is just frivolous thanks for putting it on

Look how decent people used to be back in the day, where they learned from one another's gifts.
Can u tell if there r teachers who teach about Bel Canto? I love those things

Where can I find the rest of this wonderful footage?
The full vid is actually available as a special addition to one of the 3 tenors CDs
alguien sabe como se llama la ultima aria que canta pavarotti¡????? en este video :D
he was speaking about never singin in the jaw, in the mouth, that covers the sound, makes it thick tp the listener, i think his meaning of "mucus sound". Truly, the real bel canto is entirely out of the mouth, placed much higher, resonating around the third eye! or higher...
Do you know the year of this recording?
as pessoas sevalon muintu sobre o grandismus Pavarotti e que elles valun e poucu porque as pallavras nao dar pra faser as respostas porque Pavarotti e mais grande de todus as palavras e letras juntos ..... Sarkis Matta.
What year is this?
А теперь попросите так же гениально просто спеть эту фразу какого - нибудь современного тенора ....вот такое бельканто продемонстрировать...! Не найдете такого , уверяю вас ! Звёзды Бецало ,Кауфманн ...? Это лишь жалкие тени тех великих певцов теноров ...?!

@@perhegg thank you very much 5 years haha
3:14 the whole truth
Sutherland, Pavarotti.. who are the other two?
Richard Bonynge
And the magnificent Marilyn Horne!!! You've heard of Sutherland and not Marilyn Horne???
Maestro, Richard Bonygne! Husband of Dame Joan
"...That dangerous weight of chest,..." is this what she really said????
Yes. Back in the days there was a myth that singing in full chest voice is dangerous for women...
weil,das alles sinnlos ist und macht spas.
"If you don't cover you are not a real tenor" He means, chiaro e scuro.
How to sing belcanto ... you just need a f''''ing voice and afterwards you can sing anything you imagine without so many explanations. What the heck?!
John mccormack tenor youtube,
No
I really don't think Pavarotti is a good example of Bel Canto singing.
Why ?
You can think whatever you want, doesn't mean he's not.
+Michael Budinger Pavarotti was a verismo singer.
