Baritone Reacts to Golden Age Baritone BASTIANINI (Verdi arias)

- One of the greatest baritones to have ever lived, it was my honor to talk about two of Bastianini's iconic Verdi interpretations. I found the differences between the two (8 years apart) fascinating and I learned a lot about Bastianini's vocal development and evolution.
Comment below with other baritones you'd like me to react to! Tenors, sopranos, mezzos, basses, too!
I highly recommend bastianini’s eri tu recording! One of the best operatic recordings ever!!
I highly recommend his live recording in 1957 in San Francisco or Chicago of "Nemici della patria", in a concert with Simionato and Tebaldi. You can't sing that aria any better than that.
@@barahona68 well said… bastianini era il re dei baritoni verdi!!
Try herleas eri tu
Bastianini already had throat cancer in the first video (which may explain why he doesn’t hold the high notes as long). He was an astounding singer, and his untimely end is heartbreaking.
Bastianini was a lion; the squillo is laser-like. The tragedy of his final days is heart breaking; having developed throat cancer, he told no-one…his final performances were critical failures because the critics didn’t know of his condition. For me, the over-all space and skill of Leonard Warren will always be my favorite of the golden age baritones, sea chanties not withstanding. Thanks for the vid!
Well said b.b 3476. My sentiments exactly!
Bastianini was not a "golden age" singer...far from it. One of the most incredible singers, and one of my all time favorites, but not a "golden age" singer
Dear Lucas,
The first time I listened a Bastianini recording, it was a real shock for me!
He had the most beautiful and noble baritone voice of postwar II.
If you have the opportunity to go to his grave in his beloved Siena.... I did it several years ago.
I m really happy that you enjoy his art so much.
I wish you the very best in life always.
The problem nowadays - tenors with no debeloped high notes are becoming baritones. Old school was a pure treasure.
Agree 100%!👍

Bastianini had the most beautiful voice for Verdi of any baritone of the second half of the 20th century. He was the Corelli of baritones.
No, mi dispiace per il grandissimo Corelli,ma la similitudine non regge: Corelli bravo in tutto, non si avvaleva di un timbro di voce perfetto. Di Perfetto conosco solo Bastianini!
@@marisamassimino6418 ❤
@@marisamassimino6418 Corelli had one the most beautiful tenor voices, many people think so, a warm and voluptuous sound with gut piecing high notes. But a lot of people do like the light and pretty sound of light lyric tenors, everyone does have their taste. Corelli and Bastianini sounded very good together because they both had really warm voices. You do get tenor and baritones pairs that work very well together, I would say Corelli and Bastianini were a great baritone and tenor pairing. They were good friends, they met each other before they became famous, Corelli really stood with Bastianini at the end.
La registrazione del Trovatore mi sembra quella di Tokio del 1965, poco più di un anno prima della morte.
I saw him in Chenier with Tebaldi and Corelli and got his autograph. The ultimate Chenier cast. Of course, got Corelli and Tebaldi's autographs too. Tebaldi almost as tall as Corelli!!
We all want to see you do Battistini. It will completely change your view of singing for life. There's nobody else like him.
Bastianini was, alongside Leonard Warren, the epitome of the true verdian baritone.
Love what you say about the vowel spectrum. Can't keep that legato, in the slot support without it. Thank you for your very clear and precise review! He's one of my favorite singers.
Lucas, on-spot analysis. I’ve recently soured on the opera business and all of the drama off stage, behind the scenes, and in administration. You bring me back to the joy of it. Plus I don’t think you are near your peak. It’s higher! Keep knocking it out of the park.
Thanks, so happy to!
I m not expert, only big fan of Maestro E B. I m fascinated by his voice and his performances. I beg pardon of the others baritones, no one gains upon him and never!
Love your analysis, Lucas! You really provide such a wonderful energy to the TH-cam opera community. Also, I saw your Sharpless in London and it was absolutely fantastic! Look forward to hearing you in more!
Thanks Gory!!! So kind of you. I’ll keep them coming as long as I can.
I listen to Bastianini mostly, his rendering of Largo Al Factotum is wondrous. But, Titta Ruffo in his prime was the greatest baritone I've listened to.
Agreed. Bastianini was great but Ruffo in his prime was incomparable.
@@timothycrombie3730 Yes I agree. How I'd loved to have heard him "live" in his prime!
I listened to an excerpt of Del Monaco and Bastianini singing the duet from Forza and it was almost hard to tell who was singing at points, two Incredible dramatic singers, with range extending down and up respectively to almost meet in the middle, awesome to hear.
Would love to hear your reaction to Del Monaco singing largo al factotum btw, tremendous fun (avoid the dodgy 1966 live performance though, it's unfortunately the top result on TH-cam)
Oh, how I loved seeing your reaction to this great artist.
I think he sings with so much feeling because it is his native tongue. We Americans don’t have that going for us in operas. ❤
Com'è appropriato iniziare con "Il balen del suo sorriso", da Il trovatore di Verdi. Ettore Bastianini era un vero baritono verdiano. Aveva una voce gloriosa e bellissima. È una tregedia che sia morto di cancro alla gola all'età di 45 anni. Era anche estremamente bello. Anche tu sei bello. Tanti saluti da Firenze.
Excellent analysis.
So much more instructive than master classes with a famous instructor imposing his/her singing anatomy on an innocent student. Caballè, Berganza, DiDonato and Fleming all come to mind.
Thank you Mo Meachem.
Preach! The masterclasses of the two contemporary names on that list are painful to watch and hear.
Thank you. You are a joy to watch and listen to, of course.
He is singing de Luna here two years after being diagnosed with throat cancer. The tempo of the aria is indeed faster than what is traditional. Singers who are having trouble for any reason often request a fast tempo. Strange to call him ‘Golden Age’, a term associated with Battistini, Ruffo, Stracciari, Ancona, de Luca, etc.
I agree with your comment about the golden age!!!
True...Bastianini was not a "golden age" singer...far from it. Incredible singer, but not a "golden age" singer
I read too fast. Thought it would be Batastini. that's golden age!
Interesting! Was not aware of where it coincided with his diagnosis.
Yes I agree. He had a short prime career
Thank you. I really liked your comments and explanations of what he was doing with his technique.
Bastianini began his studies as a basso! His registers and so evenly connected.
Bastianini insuperabile! Sara' sempre nel nostro cuore Mariella
Thank you.
I had never before heard a recording of him. He's pretty fantastic.
pretty fantastic...he's sublime.
Just found your channel and had to subscribe. Loved your takes on these wonderful Bastianini clips. Would love your take on Giorgio Zancanaro's singing of Il Balen.
Have you heard his Largo al factotum? Absolutely astonishing - sung like a bat out of hell!
Love this style of reaction video - so informative! Next, I'd really like to see your reaction to Tito Gobbi or George London!
Ok!!! I did Gobbi in my last video on his Scarpia👍🏼👍🏼🤘🏼
@@LucasMeachem1 I'll go have a listen right now!
or Gino Bechi
Lyric Baritones and Dramatic Baritones are two totally different animals. With all due respect, please know that some observations by a lighter voiced singer do not always apply, even as just a listener. It is hard to divorce one's technique from the way that one hears things. Different singers, in different fachs, go for different desired effects, and outcomes.
You're right. Can't get any better than Ettore Bastianini!
Gino Bechi☝️
ruffo, granforte (argentino) , bastianini, gobbi, las mejores voces que van a escucharen toda sus vidas.
did you know that the voice on these old recordings sounds so dark and thick, not only because the singer's voice sounds like that, this effect of dark sound is obtained due to the fact that earlier recordings recorded sound in the range of up to 10,000 Hz, this is what darkens the sound so much and gives he has a special CHARM!
Check out Bastianini's "Nemico della patria", if you want to hear something incredible. Color, phrasing, and that "something else" that mere mortals do not possess. Many different versions, of him, in this aria out there. All are good to amazing!
Check the 1957 recording of "Nemico della patria" in a live concert in Chicago with Tebaldi and Simionato, it's amazing!
Have you listened to Apollo Granforte's Il Balen? He was a baritone but had the voice of a basso like Titta Ruffo but with more technique imo when you listen to him sing and hits all the high notes too, truly amazing
NO HUBO . NO HAY. NI HABRA ALGUIEN MEJOR PORQUE ES IMPOSIBLE CANTAR MEJOR . GRANDIOSO ETTORE
Beg to differ…Leonard Warren was the quintessential Golden Age Verdi baritone…do a review on him and your jaw will drop
So great!!! If possible, I'd like to see you react to current Verdi Baritones like Quinn Kelsey, Zeljko Lucic or Luca Salsi please!
Don’t know if this is a good idea…
@@drakenheart51 Why not?
@@basta.dotto_ perché non interesserebbe nessuno. Siamo ridotti male con le voci di oggi.
Whaaaat? I had no idea there was actual footage of him!
Immortal Bastianini!
My Italian teacher would say, ricanta, ricanta cara. Basically by re-speaking, or re- singing every note the voice vibrates and all the way through and is legato! Every note he sings vibrates and he is also using the technique described, I believe!
I guess that his early singing is lighter because he's trying to sing with his own true baritone voice and not overdarken or force the sound. I think he's doing that especially because he started his career as a bass and sung for many years as a bass: I'm guessing that forcing or darkening the sound when you "swap the register" can happen pretty easily.
Re: his taking more breaths than you thought he would, remember he was singing while he had lung cancer, though he’d not disclosed that.
Though perhaps not that early on in his career.
Throat cancer.
You are hilarious! I love it.
Great video as always Lucas!
He didn't hang out on the final high G in the first example because he seemed to be straining a bit. You could hear him tighten up a bit in the first high G, and if you get tight there, the last section will almost definitely tighten you up more. He had to push a bit to get there at the end. Compare it to the 1962 studio recording under Tulio Serafin where he manages the aria with more freedom and seems to sing with a lighter, brighter approach (though that could just be how he was recorded).
For me: the BEST of the BEST. I Sing to him: -king of kings, and lord of Lords! And he shall...- and so on.
There might be bigger voices, like Warren, but the sound, and the art rendered by Bastianinni is unparalel. The greatest by far.
I'd like you yo react yo Zancanaro; beautifull!
How much talent and such a dramatic fate..
That cabaletta after the aria is the real tell tale. It is very difficult especially if the tempo is not right. So hard!!
Fascinating, as always! One thing I’ve noticed about Il Balen is that absolutely no one, except Nucci, sings the full cadenza at the end. I’ve always wondered if that cadenza was written by Verdi, or if Nucci interpolated it. Then again, IIRC, the clip I saw was with Muti, who would not have allowed an unwritten candenza. I’ll have to check it out.
Here it is th-cam.com/video/kVX-ngmg_N8/w-d-xo.html. Obviously, Nucci isn’t in the same category as Bastianini, but he’s the only baritone I know of who sings the full candenza, with Muti cracking the whip!
Phenomenal and I love the commentary. Do you think he's a little stiff on the top? Perhaps it's the recording quality.
I think this Bastianini was 1950s PROGRESSO Opera television (yes Progresso soup :). I think Beverly Sills was the Violetta in that film.
How come many opera singers end up with cancer. Dimitri Hvorostovsky is my all time favourite but he succumbed at only 56 to a brain tumour. He not onky looked beautiful but sang beautifully too.
I'd love to hear Mr Meacham's opinion about three of the greatest 20th century baritones: Merrill, Cappuccilli and Nucci.
Can you do Cesare Siepi, would really like to hear your opinion on Basses especially Siepi !?
In 1961 Bastianini was engaged to record the role of Iago in a Decca recording of Verdi's Otello. Herbert von Karajan was conducting, and the cast also included Mario del Monaco and Renata Tebaldi. For some reason Bastianini was replaced in this recording by Aldo Protti. Do you know why?
Supposedly he just didn’t know the music, and that didn’t go over well with von Karajan
Excellent video! Talk about Renato Capecchi, please!
I know he’s not an operatic singer, but I would love to hear your analysis of George Sanders’ voice. There is an audition tape of him singing Some Enchanted Evening on TH-cam and he did his own singing in the film version of Call Me Madam (the full movie is also on TH-cam).
Amazing video! Bravo, Lucas!!! Make a video with John Del Carlo or Luca Pisaroni or John Relyea. 😁😁😀😀😀😀😀😀
wondering why he was called the emperor of baritones :)
tks for posting Lucas!
Come ho sempre affermato solo due voci si possono affiancare a Bastianini: Titta Ruffo e Gino Bechi, lasciando per estrema completezza lo scettro ad Ettore
Maybe you could react to the chilean dramatic tenor/baritone Renato Zanelli. Unfortunately, there are no videos of him, but many audio recordings. :-)
Love Bastianini! Hope you'll comment on Giorgio Zancanaro, a favorite of mine from comparitively recent years. Of course, Riccardo Stracciari really deserves attention.
Love Zancanaro. First heard him in the video of ATTILA with Ramey. Reminded me of first time I hear Ingvar Wixell. It amazed me.
Have you reacted to Matio Battistini? There are recordings, but I doubt there is footage of him. He was known as the King of Singers and the singer of kings. He sang well into his 80s with a very little wobble. He developed asthma late in life which eventually took him from us. Massenet rewrote Werther so that the great master could sing the work. He sings in a true bel canto style because he lived through that era of time. Also, you may want to listen to Igor Gorin. What a beautiful voice.
battistini is amazing
As a beginning classical singer (propably bass), I'd love to see you react to other voice types as well, especially other male types!
Awesome. Any specific singers?
Well "flexible" basses such as Ghiaurov, Siepi and Pinza
@@LucasMeachem1 Giacomini!
@@LucasMeachem1 Kurt Moll :D
@@LucasMeachem1 Siepi e Ramey.
I see someone else asked you to react to Tito Gobbi and George London. Have you reacted to Rolando Panerai?
Bastianini is the greatest singer I've ever heard.
Can you also do Umberto Urbano -not the final polish that his contemporaries had but an immense dark baritone and hugely famous in the 1920 -1930 decade .
Baritone power!!
Thank you for this. As others have commented, it is lovely to watch you react to another singer. Bastianini had a magnificent voice and a good sense of line, but there are two things (very personal) that slightly bother me about his singing: the relative lack of variation in the dynamics (a tendency towards an unremitting forte) and his habit of aspirating. Folks have mentioned Bastianini (listen to his 'O sommo Carlo' in Ernani), Ruffo and Tibbett (whose splendid Germont with Ponselle [!] is preserved in toto) among other wonderful old singers. I cannot see any mention of another of my favourites, Pavel Lisitsian. He recorded a complete Traviata in the late 1940s. Yes, it is in Russian, but the voice and the singing surely qualify him as a great Verdi singer. Best wishes, Steve
Typo alert- I meant Battistini with respect to Ernani
It was pleasant to read recollections about Pavel Lisitsian, the favorite singer of my young times, whom I saw on stage more than once. The records do not transmit his specific voice in full. Its sound reminded dark chocolate with pepper. By pepper I mean a little guttural hint. In the high register his timbre changed, but not as sharply as in the records. His best roles were Onegin, Germont, and Valentin (Faust).
Michael
Bastianini had a glorious voice. Verdi and Bastianini, that combined is a real treat. I know many voices that mr Meachem surely could react to. One suggestion would be tenor Flaviano Labo singing Cielo e Mar on The Ed Sullivan show. (TH-cam)
You could also put Gian Giacomo Guelfi and Apollo Granforte on.
I would love to see a reaction to either Hans Hotter or Samuel Ramey
Dear Lucas, please comment on the singer named Georg Ots and Muslim Magomayev. These are two gorgeous baritones of the 20th century!
Has Lucas done De Luca already?
Man dont feel bad for not being able to hit that E2(?) he had been trainning as a bass before becoming a bari this is why.
Please find a Baritone named John Rawnsley singing largo al factotum, he is an absolute beast. Probably the best I have ever seen
Bastianini was more of a natural Basso Profondo with an incredibly wide range and control over his high tessitura.
Keeping that in mind it becomes even more incredible how he was able to be one of the top Verdi Baritones ever, a Verdi Baritone being a Dramatic HIGH Baritone, a voice more akin to a Heldentenor than to a Bass-baritone...
Sir, basso profundo is literally the lowest voice type there is. Ettore, though low for a baritone, was nowhere NEAR what would be required for profundo. Listen to his G2s- present, but nothing crazy. Now think of the fact that profundos are expected to be capable of projecting low Ds and even Cs often times.
@@DubiousDubs yes yes you are perfectly right but in an opera voice that would depend a lot on how you decide to train and develop your voice and emission in order to keep that amount of voice, harmonics and resonance over roughly two octaves of vocal range that would be, in an Opera singing context related to mainly Romanticismo and Verismo Opera, deemed perfectly educated and well formed.
But the whole entirety of vocal range is a different thing altogether.
Like Gigli used to say you have a blanket you need to develop and you need to apply over your voice and, no matter how good you are, the blanket will always be too short to cover both your feet and your head.
Bastianini chose the baritone way ofc, hence those aspects you absolutely correctly notice. But had he chosen to train and develop as a Basso Profondo (and I mean it in an Opera way, NOT the octavist bass for orthodox liturgic chants) he would have been an astounding bass.
@@edraith that is blatantly untrue. Never once have I heard from any credible source that you could just choose your voice type. The folds have a natural limit as to how far they can relax, and beyond that natural limit lies, at best, fry that might be usable on mic, but has no place in opera. You are born with one voice, and while you can train the high end to go higher, the same ain't true for the low end. And while you can perform outside of your voice type, like ramey performing don giovanni, that's all it is- performing outside of your voice type.
Lastly, the Russian oktavist is simply a profundo in a choir. My source? The word of Glenn Miller, Eric Holloway, and Thou Yang, all performing oktavists right now. There are some exceptions to this rule in the form of those who have mastered things like subharmonics, which is what Thou Yang does, but of those who use chest voice, their voice type is profundo.
@@DubiousDubs @DubiousDubs I never said you can freely choose your voice type.
One is limited to what nature gave him and to many other factors that are related to epigenetics. Some have more, some have less. Some manage to develop more and some less.
Many great singers that had from both nature and from hard work/development the gift and the result of a voice greater than normal were actually, factually, objectively able to bend their nature and force themselves into creating either a lower or higher kind of operatic voice than what the very central part of their voice would have naturally advised them to do. You can do that and it was actually more common in older times than in the XX Century when we became extremely nitpicky and kinda violent about what Opera should be.
Opera roles and vocal types are a convention, not something completely set in stone, as I believe you might well know. Some people just have so great of a gift that they can veer more towards one inclination or another (lower or higher, more lirico-leggero or more dramatic) but it's not always that easy to do and it is the result of many long years of training.
It's very difficult to define a voice and, as you likely know, vocal range or resonance are not always telling us much, I believe you would concur. Like we had baritones with counterhigh D5 and Eb5 who were actually pretty low and dark voiced baritones we also had great Tenori leggeri whose voices topped at A4 or Bb4: one should not think of categories as Laws of Physics. Also, depending on how you use your voice and set your emission you can access either larger or smaller portions of your vocal range and, in Opera singing, you have to "build" in time a couple octaves (two, up to two and a half) of your vocal range out of the 3-3/½ of vocal range that nature usually gives us (I'm not counting falsetto neither vocal fry nor subharmonics).
Also none of what I said is untrue, AT ALL.
My sources are having studied and put to scrutiny some centuries of writings, treatises, compositions, witnessings and then again possessing some kind of understanding of the topic being trained as an opera singer and having studied vocology and phoniatrics many years long but you are welcome to disagree since I might still be wrong with some or many opinions of mine, just avoid treating with contempt someone who most likely has studied some tens of thousands of hours more than most people you have ever heard of, it's unnecessary and not polite.
I want to also add that if I'm not mistaken Thou Yang is that bass on TH-cam that sings as baritone, bass and, with the help of subharmonics, as oktavist bass. From your reply we have to infer he doesn't exist since his very existence would break the very fabric of reality, just like Nozzari, Nourrit, Callas, Spyres, Ramey, Verret, Garcìa Senior, Naouri and many many others who sang quite the repertoire over very different tessituras and covering the very vast vocal range of a couple different vocal "types": I believethat in order to strongly and completely disagree with me at all costs you might have been too strong in your answer.
You likely also know how constantly it happens that voices which are quite strong in emission and large in vocal range but have some insecurity or defect in their voice get easily mis-categorised in a lower or higher type of voice. People having been different times wrongly categorised from bass to tenor are not unheard of and I believe you are well aware of this fact.
Peace, my friend.
Have you ever considered reviewing Mattia Battistini?
1. I love this channel
2. I want an inner snarl
Please make a video on DIETRICH FISCHER-DIESKAU and THOMAS HAMPSON, who have been accused many times as lazy or closet tenors for being among the lightest lyric baritones in recent history.
Dieskau worse baritone I ever heard at such a high level on the other hand Thomas Hampson was fantastic
When is the Hampson reaction? Love these videos!!
Oh, no, he is not even baritone )))
@@operafairy Lyric Baritone
@@gualtiermalde645 even lyric baritone has to have some low notes, it is a matter of tessitura 🤣
@@operafairy Saying that Thomas Hampson is not a baritone just because he doesn't have the same robust tone as most is like saying that Bryn Terfel is not a bass baritone.
@@operafairy Exactly, he doesn't have a tenor range, his comfort region is totally baritone
What about Umberto Urbano?
If DelMonico were a baritone he would be Bastianini
Ха, ха! Если бы Дель Монако был басом, он был бы - Шаляпиным . Вот рассмешили...
Потрясающий баритон с невероятным по красоте голосом и трагической судьбой... И на этом видео(где он поёт il Balen) , он уже очень болен... и всё равно звучит крышесносно!

Can you please make a reacting Video of Jose Van Damme?
That was not the golden age; it was the afterglow. The true golden age, particularly for baritones, was at the beginning of the 20th century and before. Mattia Battistini, THERE was a golden-age baritone; a bit later, Titta Ruffo, Mario Ancona, Giuseppe de Luca, Pasquale Amato, Riccardo Stracciari. And later still, American singers such as Lawrence Tibbett, Leonard Warren, and Robert Merrill.
Warren and Merrill really don't belong on that list. Totally different styles.
MacNeil deserves a spot as a true golden age baritone.
@@sananton2821 They are at least part of the afterglow of the golden age, as is Bastianini.
@@tonshaad1230 Having heard MacNeil in the theater, I can say he had a most beautiful baritone voice in his prime as well as a great technique. So I have to agree with you.
Zancanaro! You MUST react to Giorgio Zancanaro.
Mario Sereni!!
ILLUMINATING! THANK YOU VERY MUCH especially because I TOO am a great fan/admirerer of Maestro BASTIANINI, AND of course LOVER OF VERDI'S MUSIC. HE, (VERDI), WAS UNEQUALED and IRREPLACEABLE, (if there is such a word). When I am sad or feeling alone, I put on a VERDI OPERA, (ANYONE), and then I AM HOME AND AT PEACE. THANKS BE TO GOD FOR GIUSEPPE VERDI!!!, (AND, Ettore Bastianini). The "other" BARITONE I became "familiar and "loved" in the '50s was Leonard Warren especially him singing RIGOLETTO. I have never heard anyone sing RIGOLETTO as he did. I especially loved him singing "Pari siamo". So far, I haven't heard his better or just equal. Again, Thank you.
Listen to that pure AH at 2:14. Unfairly pretty
Amazing reaction my friend Lucas!!....In 2017, the music world was shocked by the bursting onto the scene of a 22-year-old singer named Dimash Kudaibergen, who performed on the famous Chinese competition show for professional singers called “The Singer”... It was just It was necessary for this young man to make his first appearance, making a cover of one of the most difficult songs in the world, a famous French composition called "S.O.S. D'un Terrien En Détresse", to be considered from that moment on as the best singer in the entire planet....No one in the musical field had ever seen a human being, being able to reach vocal ranges above 7 octaves and several semitones, that is, all 88 keys of a digital piano, which reaches a little more than 7 octaves and as if that weren't enough, sing the more than 12 languages...He can sing like a Tenor, Baritone, Medio, Soprano, Messosoprano, etc....Since then all kinds of experts (Vocal coach, analysts, singing teachers, youtubers, reactors, etc.) have dedicated themselves to reviewing their presentations to try to understand how someone can sing this way...The incredible thing is that that presentation in China was in 2017 and 5 years have passed since then, but what Dimash has done in these 5 years is to further improve his wide vocal range, which is currently practically above of the 8 octaves... The Covid pandemic stopped his concerts worldwide, all with tickets sold in just seconds, via the internet, but at the same time it ended up catapulting him to the top of popularity worldwide...Anyway, since I think you are one of those reactors who have not yet met this impressive singer, here is the link of that presentation in China in 2017, with the song S.O.S. and I would like you to mention my name as the person who recommended him to you...You have to be prepared because you ar going to receive an avalanche of views, comments and new subscribers....I leave you one more recent video than the others, so it does not have the same number of views as the previous ones, which have millions of views, but it is a more complete video, with an intro, subtitles in several languages and with the improved quality of audio and sound....th-cam.com/video/bDX3FhmyNac/w-d-xo.html
Thank you.
I used the link and tbh - he needs a microphones and the first notes I heard....well I clicked off. A few notes isn't fair to judge him on I suppose but the need to be almost swallowing a microphone is, sorry to say. He is extremely young and has years to go before he is in his prime though, so he might be able to fix it all and concentrate on how his natural voice should be instead of stressing his vocal chords to reach so many types. If he doesn't he is likely to ruin his voicebox.
Do Sopranos 🙏🏼
