- 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. Thanks to kadoguy2006 for sharing.
A beautiful Ideale from Jerry Hadley. May he Rest In Peace.
One of the most gorgeous instruments I've ever heard. Thank you for your insight and Jerry Hadley videos, MrCafiero ! I wish I could have met him.
Agreed. Built from the beginning by my teacher. He was lucky that he did not go to other teachers first who had him doing wrong things that would then have to be undone. He started right from the beginning.
Such rich, glorious sounds!!!
So under appreciated, he deserves much more.
i think i just woke up my entire apartment building. gorgeous recordings. outstanding artist!
Beautiful, love Jerry`s voice...
it is so natural, , he sing 100% heart and soul, who is better than Jerry Hadley! Bravo!
No one cannot teach you sing like this. Alot of singers knows technique, have good teachers, but little part of all have this energy, power, this shine of beauty soul in voice. No one teacher can give you this. Hadley just unique like star on the Vocal Olimp.
But he did learn how to use his natural musical gifts through the technique taught by my teacher and also how to be musically expressive. Even though you have to have the talent there is a way to be expressive.
What an impeccable technique - power, gracefulness and elegance like no other - probably one of the most underrated tenors of a generation - almost obsolete in our age.
Such a sublime declamation! One of the cleanest and very best technique of opera singing that I've ever heard from tenor. Healthy breathing, flexible clear vocals and legato singing with beautiful timbre in the voice. Jerry Hadley R I P.
A magnificent voice
Perfect voice
Gorgeous.
I wish his recordings were on spotify
what a luscious full lyric voice this was in his youth!
@Kievest Couldn't agree with you more. I love how artists like Jerry Hadley sing with their whole heart and soul! I have always appreciated such fearless, passionate singing, even though the outcome is not always perfect. I used the word "fearless", because it seems to me that, by being - as you said - " sincere" in singing, they go out on a limb, so to speak; they get more vulnerable to acid criticisms.
Anyway, your nice comment said it all, all I can add is:
R.I.P Jerry Hadley
RoyKa I agree totally with you about fearlessness in singing. Today it seems it is not 'fashionable' - but in my view it is what is killing opera big time. Without fearlessness and passion enhanced by a great technique, Opera has become sterile and boring.
MERAVIGLIOSO!!!
People have their own unique timbre based on the way their vocal tract is shaped. And everyone is a bit different. Even singers who sing with the same technique will sound different because of that.
Très beau, merci beaucoup pour le post.
❤
Thanks MrCafiero for posting this oustanding piece of singing.
Absolute super!
Amo de paixão
God, He was just kind of the best.
@bigus They started having him sing more and more parlando, pulling off his voice and he started to uncover higher and higher.
He could not find his way to the Ideal, which he and every honest soul is seeking!
Beautiful singing! Having lost track of Jerry Hadley, I hadn't realized until recently that he had passed away. How very, very sad! I've heard horror stories of "experts" tampering with the natural timbre of a singer's voice. Here he had such a beautifully balanced sound (if "balanced" is the right word).
beautiful beyond words. but one can say there are no tenors on the mainstage todsy that can compare in perfection of vocal fullnessband balance.
You have to have the talent, but his teacher, who was my teacher, developed his instrument from the beginning. He built it so that Hadley was able to use it like this. A great teacher is vitally important to get the instrument working so that you can use it correctly. Plenty of great talents have bad teaching and never sound like this because of it.
@edpa19 So glad you enjoyed it!!!
No, it was the opposite actually which he himself said. They were trying to stifle his voice, making him sing lighter, more parlando. And he eventually got off track. Look up the video of him singing Maria Stuarda and my channel and read in the description what he said.
I propose that the United Nations declare F. P. Tosti’s IDEALE as The Anthem of the World, or, The World’s Anthem! Oh, that men might seek The Ideal: Justice, freedom, mercy and peace!
David Solomon It happens I am thinking of singing this song at the UN Staff Day Talent Show. Your thought gives me extra motivation. I’ve always attached more profound meaning to the lyrics than the common interpretation, which is a lamentation about a lost love or something thereabouts. Thank you.
@bigus That is true. I should say that he let them do it.
@MaestroAmduscias I did not say that you said it, I asked you to clarify. The singing is amazing.
@stevevandien As do I!
@MrCafiero how did they destroy his voice? every person has control of their own instrument. please explain how they destroyed his voice.
But why no one who sound like his voice?
@lewashcliffe That is exactly right. They want more and more parlando singing and pianissimi. It is ridiculous. And it was many a singers downfall.
@MaestroAmduscias What are you talking about? You think the singing here is bad?
@meltzerboy Yeah...until all the "expert" coaches and conductors got to him and made him sing less big. Sad, but he had many amazing years. He just didn't have an Italian last name.
im genuinely interested in how they ruined his voice though i was not trying to be argumentative. im still curious.
who was the teacher ?
Tom LoMonaco. He was my teacher also.

@legatofancier Balance is exactly right - chiraoscuro. Bonynge and David Jones destroyed his voice.
