Well, they are different. This aria sits in a different part of the voice for Joan. For Cecilia sits in the middle voice while for Joan sits in the low register, which is evidence by the difficulty thrilling low.

This is a lesson of superb singing!!!! Much more better than Bartoli's.

Pavarotti's high notes weren't big ,just well-placed with squilo ,every middle sized spinto tenor had a bigger voice than P.For huge high notes check her Puritani duet with Gedda.Gedda drowned her out on the high notes.She had a huge voice but she couldn't vary dynamics,her diction got terrible horrible after the mid 60's and she lacked dramatic and interpretive skills.

And to me Jessy Norman is more of a falcon...

Yep, not so much lighter but more lyrical. Her timbre was essentially more lirico-spinto, didn't have the steely edge of Callas or Nilsson.

But Sutherland's voice was bigger than Price's and Callas'... Her voice was close to that of Birgit Nilsson's in size, but in timbre her voice sounded much lighter. That's why it was perfect in bel canto and Verdi.

Sutherland sang a very successful Eva in Meistersinger in the fifties, when she was still young, and her voice was not yet at its biggest in regards to size. Also listen to her Norma, her Odabella and other Verdi roles. Her voice was enormous.

That I agree

That I agree with u, but I've seen lyric light with incisive voices , I rather listen to a wagnerian role with callas. But no matter the timbre I agree she had a special vocal emission with a peculiar color

I'm certainly young but I'm well nurtured about opera world and classical music in general, but still I know there's a lot to learn and there's always something new, I'm even learning from you right now, but is not untrue that she doesn't sound dramatic at all, lot of people have that misconception about classifying singers, they just don't get it right. Eva Morton, price, callas, jessy norman, those are dramatic timbres! |
