    Lyrics & Translation:
    Caro mio ben,
    credimi almen,
    senza di te
    languisce il cor.
    Il tuo fedel
    sospira ognor.
    Cessa, crudel,
    tanto rigor!
    My dear beloved,
    believe me at least,
    without you
    my heart languishes.
    Your faithful one
    always sighs;
    cease, cruel one,
    so much punishment!

    As a female voice teacher, I was searching for a tenor singing this song. I heard this and listened from start to finish! Bravo to such impeccable line in your voice and such musicality! This is a standard song that should be in every classical singer’s repertoire. The dynamics are wonderful and the voice control flawless. I hear singers sing this and they sing note to note. It’s all about support and feeling the note come out of the breath, connecting everything. Bravo to a song well sung. Anyone who clicked on the thumbs down button doesn’t know much about being a classically trained singer. I will show this to all my tenor voice students. Thanks for sharing!

      Christian-Gerard Leon that’s interesting that you gave no credentials as to how you know that this is good or bad. Nor did you give a reason as to why you think so. Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion, but you need to back it up with fact when critiquing someone. And in this case, why you believe you are someone who has any knowledge greater than the singer or me, a voice teacher with a masters degree in vocal performance from Carnegie Mellon University.

      Anne, I was doing exactly the same thing! Looking for a tenor who demonstrated beautiful line, easy transition through the range and good support. This is for my class on bel canto, to demonstrate how bel canto evolved from simplicity of line, well produced. My coach at the Royal Opera House used to like me to warm up on this song.

    Years ago this was part of what my singing instructor had me learn. The glory of learning is that I know what he's doing - that he's enunciating the words so clearly without making them fussy, that he's controlling his breathing so well and supporting the sound so well it makes me weep. And (a bone of contention with my teacher): he's letting the dynamics create the feeling - such respect for the composer. I do like to sing it, but learning to sing it was the entry ticket to being able to appreciate what he's doing. It's funny - it's the opposite of ambition: maybe it's contentment. I don't need to sing it as well as he does, but I'm so happy to be ears for his voice.

      @nathanwilliams9087 3 роки тому +1

      @@ralphoperaphile sure I will. Some tenors have a baroque style of sound but this tenor has a sound that will relate to you that we're in the 21st century. I'm not implying that they aren't great tenors, rather I'm simply saying he has an orthodox tenor sound.

    • @ralphoperaphile
      @ralphoperaphile 3 роки тому +1

      @@nathanwilliams9087 Thank you. For me, this young man has what I hear as a "legitimately" produced tenor sound, as opposed to the constricted, falsetto-biased vocalisation which some might indeed call "baroque". After all, a beautiful lyric tenor like Wunderlich or even the young Pavarotti could sing baroque music ideally without sounding throaty or bleaty like - dare I say? - Ian Bostridge or Cyril Auty - who make an unpleasant sound. I am not disagreeing with you, you understand, but think a well-registered voice can sing in most styles, and perhaps any.
