I also love to hear Mr Bryan Hymel singing. He has a most beautiful voice. Looking forward to see how his Opera Career will enfold in coming years. Great personality, lovely person. God bless him!

One of the finest tenors on stage today, without question.

I had the fortunate opportunity of hearing Mr. Hymel live @ the Kennedy center, Carmen (2015-16) season opening. If possible, his voice is even more stunning in person; strong but also smoothly textured. I could almost reach out & capture the notes in my hand, such was the consistency of Mr. Hymel's voice. I was taken aback by the quality created by his distinctive style; his pure talent generously weaving multiple musical elements together electrified the entire house. An experience I will never forget, I will treasure my good fortune and say if you have a chance- go see Bryan Hymel!!

One of the best performance...

Such gorgeous singing!

One of the few contemporary tenors with true star potential imho

Exceptional voice. A presence. A compelling style. We much look forward to seeing Bryan at The Met!

Just beautiful. Beautifully and expertly executed. This man has been so smart with his voice. SO smart. And he is so young. We have SO much to yet hear from this exciting tenor! I look forward to his Polliones! He the heir apparent to all of this heroic tenor repertoire! Bravo Signor Hymel!

those folds are pure iron. damn. havent looked for a good recording for this aria from a real production in like 5 years. i gave up after realizing how difficult it is to make it to the end of that cabaletta without blowing out your voice. but he managed to do it quite well.

@davidricart1395. I agree with you it is a very good rendition of this extremely difficult aria. May I recommend you try to listen to Michael Spyres version also. I think you might be surprised to find that it is even better. He has an extraordinary voice.

He is an incredible great tenor, such a dificult aria !!! brillant, realy brillant!

Absolutely b e a u t I f u l!!!

TODAY, April 26th, 2015 my friend, Jon Mason, introduced me to this phenomenal tenor. Yes, he's sexy as well. Mmmm This aria for a counter-coloratura tenor is like " Lucia's famous mad scene ". Stratospheric high notes. Very few tenors would attempt and pull it off with such success, Bravo Mr. Hymel I am now a official fan. Fabulous tenor voice. Strong, great agility, ringing high notes. Now, after hearing this I need to change my "depends". lol The only other tenor that pulled this off so well was Pavarotti in his heyday. Chris Merritt too.

A great tenor... Bravissimo

fantastique!!!!!

This is right up there with Gedda's version of this. Both are absolutely incredible.

As we approach the end of the ROH season this makes me think of the next summer and the new Giullame Tell!!! :-) in the meantime let's enjoy Bryan Hymel singing Asile héréditaire :-)

Super!!!!

Dave. If you have not heard this aria sang by Michael Spyres may I recommend you try it. He has the most amazing voice and fabulous technique. He is actually a baritenor so his low register is full and rich and his high notes are equally full. There are a couple of versions of him singing this aria at different times. Both are stupendous.

Wonderful! Beautiful voice and interpretation. I'll be listening to more performances of this excellent tenor.

Hervorragend gesungen!!! BRAVO

I like this one.

The finest tenor today...recalls a previous great age of opera.

This is an incredibly beautiful voice and the tops are just spectacular! He has the same mellifluous character to his voice as Mr Gedda had and the same bright, powerful top notes! I hope he has a high F for Puritani! Bravissimo!

In my opinion, Bryon Hymel is a singer of rare beauty. I suspect we are going to hear a lot more of this man in the future.

La facilidad de este hombre cantando roza la impertinencia. Alucinante!

I don't know how to categorize this amazing voice! Strong and powerful, yet bright and agile, with amazing high notes! I would say he's more of a Spinto tenor, but his range and freedom of his high notes, heavy as they are, show that he's much more than the typical Spinto! I will be watching this tenor's career, sure to be the next great star!

I've heard him singing live several times including in this role. He's definitely not an heroic tenor. He's a full lyric tenor. The voice is lush and agile but definitely not huge. His tone is even more beautiful when you hear him live.

Muttonchop Hal The Heroic Tenor is a voice Fach not much used or discussed today. Fallen out of general knowledge and usage as Fach name since the mid 1900s. Not to be confused with the Heldentenor of German origin. The Heroic Tenor can have similar colors and brightness of a Lyric Tenor but with much more clarion high notes and just as agile as a lyric or even a leggero tenor. The Heroic Tenor needs to be comfortable with high c’s, C#, and even the High D. Generally found in the roles of Rossini, but surprisingly many Verdi roles were written with the Heroic tenor in mind.

Bravo

Bravo!

powerful sound.. amazing

I love this man's voice -- strong and sweet and high notes that just pour fourth easily. Yummy!

I saw him here in New Orleans earlier this season as Don Jose. The voice is pretty spectacular live. It's big, with a lot of cut and ping. He's a gutsy singer, and what I hear is formidable technique. I don't know where the "throaty" comments are getting that...it's not throaty at all, and I think he'll prove the naysayers wrong.

Bravo Bryan. I certainly don't understand the 'throaty' comments applied to this singer. There are other tenors around today that do have a throaty, guttural, sound but Bryan Hymel is not one of them. He has a very solid technique by the sounds of things. Marvelous!

A lovely rounded sound him and santiago ballerini are the best of the new tenors in my opinion

Not throaty, it's called giving the sound space. Throaty sound doesn't come out like that. It would be strangled and you would have a hard time hearing him. You have to be a lyric, lyric-spinto and spend over a decade working on your voice to really understand. He also has a rare flexibility that allows him to sing both lighter and heavier repertoire. That comes with technique. Theaters are huge now. Not the little 1200 seat opera houses that golden era singers used to perform at.

@sananton2821

Ай бұрын

It's throaty as shit. And singers sing the same in the small theaters, so that obviously has nothing to do with it. Pol Plançon sang at the Met, which even in his time was larger than any theater in Europe today. And throatiness doesn't make you louder, anyway. Literally everyone agrees that singers today are quieter, not louder. Del Monaco and Corelli were a billion times louder and not even slightly throaty. Listen to Achille Braschi in the modern era too. Nothing alike. Nada.

They should turn those rifles on the director.

Maintenant, je puis mourir.

His voice is neither tight, nor throaty, nor pushed.

Stunning voice and great singing, but why is his face scarred like that? Did Gesler do that to him? And why is he being joined by the NRA?

Wow!!! Bryan Hymel is the real thing and, therefore, we can expect to see the same kind of comments expressed concerning Jonas Kaufmann --singing in the throat, etc.--well in the 50+ years of listening and seriously studying singing the sounds this young man makes are not how I would define a throaty sound unless, that is, I want to share my bitterness with the rest of the world. Do the boo birds know how DIFFICULT THIS SCENE IS!!! Mr. Hymel, in general sings very, very easily and only gives at the climaxes which, by the way, are almost stentorian.

sopranosd Both. Domingo constantly sounded like he was pushing. For his top, for a bigger sound, when his language was insufficient. I would say Hymel isn't as bad, but he pushes his top and definitely tries to push for a larger sound. I think together with the his general tightness, this exacerbates the problem.

@sopranosd

9 жыл бұрын

Alex Thomas I know what you mean. Domingo really belted out his top notes -- I think perhaps because he started as a baritone and perhaps felt more nervous than other tenors about high notes? Didn't he develop some vocal trouble and have to rebuild his technique? Of course, I love him for so many reasons, so momentary high note issues don't dominate how amazing the rest of his voice is. I always worry about people singing rep that might be just a tad too big for them. Spells potential vocal disaster. Pavarotti developed an edge to his voice from singing roles like Calaff which, at least to me, were a bit too bellow-y for his voice. So sad to risk. that amazing lyrical, air-filled, sound. I love Bryan's voice and I hope he pulls back on the pushing, as it were. It is such a special instrument!

Joao Aurelio With all due respect, neither one of you has a clue.. This is a superbly supported voice, bright, buoyant production, with the requisite chiaroscuro of bel canto technique. The production is reminiscent of Di Stefano in his youth. There's no way Mr. Hymel would have the agility he displays if he was pushing his voice. Supporting, yes, pushing, no.
