Very nice! Thanks for sharing. These Gs have a very good sound. Not over-covered, not too open. Very skillfully sung, there were few who could do that.
Now you've made me cry too. Jerry is dearly missed indeed, but if the love of my life as well as my trust in my own voice would fail me some day, I think I might make the same decision, if it was a decision at all. I heard him live at one of his last performances, it was so painful, so sad.
No, it is not a theory, it is what happened. He went to different teachers and coaches and started altering his technique. He studied with my teacher from 1978 and started to changed things in the mid 1990's. Who knows for what reason, but he did.
I saw him in Butterfly in probably his last performance. I still treasure the fact I saw him live even if he was below his best. Did Richard and Joan get into his head? They both admired him greatly and am sure would have done their best for him. But it doesn’t take much to destroy ones confidence even with well intended advice.
Sorry, but there is no "piano" on "dextra" marked in the score. There is a morendo. And he does do a decrescendo/diminuendo from the previous dynamic on the Ab of "in parte". No indication of diminuendo all the way to a "ppp", intended or indicated by Verdi. Unless you beg to differ with the composer.
He changed his technique to beef up his sound because in his 50’s younger singers were being hired for his natural rep. He of all people should have known this was a mistake, but at the time of his sad death he was filing for bankruptcy.
This is an difficult piece to sing. Hadley sings it great , but not compered to Jussi Björling. This piece Ingemisco form Verdi's Requiem for solo tenor is so difficult to sing perfect, because you need to sing it with perfect plased notes, without sliding or wobbling, the tone must be in the center of the note through the hole the song! It is only one tenor that i have heard that manages this, and that is Bjorling!
"The tone must be in the center of the note through the hole the song". What are you talking about? That's a core element for any classically trained singer and applies from the moment they open their mouths to sing....I prefer Hadley's version over Björling's. More squillo, clarity and more excitement. Björling lacked that desirable squillo.
The best "Ingemisco" I ever heard!
Totally agree. I am somewhat blown away. The best song/aria I have heard him sing.
Yes. Much more nuanced - but with strength - than, say Bjøerling.

Phantastic old school no one can sing like this today
Jerrys' rendition of this aria is the best I've heard. Absolutely beautiful!
Sbalorditivo, una voce meravigliosa, spettacolare! ❤️
Hadley remains underrated, alas. This is certainly one of the best "Ingemiscos" on record.
Steve VanDien if not the best to be honest.
I agree. In his prime he was about as good as it gets.

Божественно!!!
Absolutely divine!
Le vieux portamento est retrouvé ici! Merci.
BRAVO!
The best.
This video is good for vibratto studies. Caruso have this same vibratto

And your teacher was lomonaco and his teacher was?
I used to hear lo Monaco practicing at U of I when I was there. Nice ring
Truly NOBLE singing.
This is so beautiful!i could justcry!Mclaire12
agreed!Where was everyone?Mclaire12
May God forgive you and bless your soul. RIP Jerry💗
God bless you Jerry...why, oh why did you die. :'(
THE BEST!!
Pobre muerte de este jovenzuelo
That's one theory, guess we'll never know.
His voice failed him because of his choices to start changing his technique.
Can you explain the changes he made in his technique?
I would also like to know

Very good, but no piano on "Dextra"
Ginotti so what? No one cares. It was by choice and mostly due to the conductors wishes.

Very nice. But I still to prefer big Luciano (specially for the uniformity of timbre) and also Di Stefano (as power of the nature)
