  • American Mezzo Soprano Denyce Graves sings "Ave Maria" by Vladimir Vavilov arr. John Conahan in 2013 Christmas at Belmont concert, Belmont University, Nashville, Tennessee, USA broadcast on PBS.
    There seems to be a musicologist skirmish as to whether this Vavilov composition was falsely attributed to Giulio Caccini. I just transcribed the attribution from the broadcast video.

    Despise what all the pro's said for her "bad performance" or her "out-of-tunes" (even only several time) comments. Personally, her voice so phenomenal and I like it so much!

    I had a moment at the National Portrait Gallery in front of Denyce's amazing portrait, which is currently around the corner from Michelle Obama's epic portrait. I began to play this song at full phone volume. Two guards immediately came to silence my phone. But the second guard asked, " Who is that singing?" I pointed to Denyce's painting. They were in shock. Soon more guards joined, and more patrons until I had to hold the phone high in the air for all to see. Said one guard who was in tears, "We've guarded that portrait for years and NEVER heard the voice. Wow." That's an important connection. And Denyce's voice changed them.

    Qualcosa non funziona, in un altro ascolto ho invece apprezzato questa cantante. Qui non usa affatto l'imposto musicale di maschera, in pratica la sua voce manca totalmente di risonanza armonica e addirittura stona. Un buon paragone è l'ascolto dello stesso brano interpretato da Elina Garanca: ua-cam.com/video/oQcvk0ams1U/v-deo.html

    • @sarahjanegabig2181

      This is subjective analysis - From google translate "Something is not working, in another listening I appreciated this singer instead. Here he does not use the musical imposition of a mask at all, in practice his voice totally lacks harmonic resonance and even out of place. A good comparison is listening to the same song interpreted by Elina Garanca"

      @@sarahjanegabig2181 L'analisi soggettiva non esiste, casomai esiste un parere soggettivo oppure un'analisi carente. In ogni caso, molti anni fa ho imparato il canto da una perfetta cantante ms italo americana e le posso assicurare che l'imposto e la risonanza di maschera non sono un'invenzione. Peccato non aver la possibilità di dimostrarglielo, così non ci sarebbe possibilità di equivoci.
