Aprile is one of my favorite songs. It must be sung naturally, as though spoken, effortlessly. It is a song for Italian singers. The non-Italian tenors presented here overinterpret; they read too much into it. You either feel the pulse of the melody or don't. The results are evident. Gigli is marvelous. His voice flows evenly, and seamlessly. His singing has a Zen quality as though the melody is a natural extension of his soul. Di Stefano is not far behind but he is - behind Gigli.
Thank you for your professional evaluation. I am always very happy to read your comments. Your analysis of singers' methods is very sophisticated. Now, with this 14-minute piece featuring four singers with different styles, I’m imitating them. Gigli = natural beauty, singing effortlessly with a low sound position and low breath support. He almost presses his vocal cords down to the area below his ribs, at the stomach. His voice seems to come from his stomach, with all other resonance chambers relaxed. This practice is very good and necessary. Gigli himself said that his mouth was in his belly. Nikolov is unusually exaggerated and forceful here, probably due to age. In his youth, he was very lyrical and elegant. Now he has become more of a dramatic tenor. After practicing Gigli’s method, I switch to this completely different vocal realm. It’s like connecting scales in human vocal ranges. I imitate these four singers simultaneously to train my vocal cords and give them a wider range of adaptability. As for Di Stefano, he uses his mouth with great force, resulting in a rich but somewhat rigid sound, lacking smoothness. However, the airflow and muscle tension inside the mouth can create a unique tone, which is why I included him. I’m surprised by Joaquín Pixán’s natural voice production, especially since he’s about 60 in this recording. His singing is very natural, though not without flaws. In his younger years, he had a great overall sound, clear, transparent, and well-supported by breath. This song isn’t performed often; two of the Three Tenors sang it, but I absolutely won’t listen to them. I would rather listen to the lesser-known Joaquín Pixán.

Здравствуйте. Странно, но мне показалось, что Никола Николов в пожилом возрасте, потому что голос не такой звонкий , как в его лучшие годы. Джильи и Ди Стефано здесь выглядят фаворитами. Хотя Ди Стефано немного впереди, но возможно это за счёт лучшего качества записи. Кстати , а почему автор редко использует творчество Поваротти при сравнении теноров ?
Because Pavarotti does not meet the standards of Italian bel canto, even in your country, Russia, within the vocal community and among audiences, Pavarotti is not held in high regard. His singing technique does not align with Italian bel canto, nor does it conform to the traditional Russian vocal standards. That’s why I essentially don't use him as an example. Among the tenors of his era, Russia had better ones, which also reflects the divide between East and West.
Thank you for the correction; I have made the change. I kept the previous title. Please bring it over quickly for use. Thank you for supporting my channe
@@christianroider118 You are right; his singing is not ideal enough. However, I am looking for the position of his voice because there are aspects of his singing from his younger years that are worth learning from. Specifically, he completely opens his mouth internally and frequently engages his muscles to create various timbres. In his youth, he also had abdominal breath support. Joaquín Pixán sings well; he has a voice quality that is also worth studying.

This is not a Neapolitan song
