Mr.Kunde is wonderful. The last major tenor to have any connection with the great singers of the past. Style and technique, he would have been recognized 60 years ago. Bravo!

Grazie Gregori per il bene che hai voluto a, noi facendoci sentire Un tenore che , oltre ad avere una bella voce, cantava come si deve, non tutti i tenori lo sanno, a quanto si sente in giro nei teatri

Non è un falsetto né un falsettone. E una nota presa a voce piena. Grandioso!

Gregory kunde, in an interview with a Spanish radio, said that he was able to emit the high f because as a young man he sang in a rock group and that he had mastered the technique to emit that sound, explaining well that by intoning the next note correctly you had to then use the head sound. What a nice interview, the reporter asked him questions in Spanish and he answered in Italian. Greg is a myth!

That makes sense. The "rock" sing/yell in the upper end is like a hybrid between falsetto and M2/tenor head voice. You have to close things off a bit and tighten up in places and relax in others to do it, but it's not typical tenor technique because it sounds thin and shrill, but a high f I think justifies some unusual efforts.

it's called "fusione dei registri", register fusion. Technically speaking it is a well connected non modal voice with good positioning of vocal tract, which makes it sound airy and so connected to the upper head register. Oddly enough, he didn't sound so connected in other registrations of credeasi misera (it can be very demanding, especially in the final part of the entire opera!)

not an easy note to hit opera or not. I wasn't able to hit that high F note til my mid 20's now i'm in my mid 30's and I can hit high G above it and sometimes even the Ab or A above it.

Sin duda un gran tenor heroico aquí todavia estaba en plenitud de facultades y es el mejor tenor qué a emitido este Fa así con voz abierta se nota como dominaba ese modo de emitir esta nota. Cayó en para mi desgracia porque perdió la modulacion de voz y emitía un canto llano. Gran tenor gregori kunde.

Notable! Lo emite con la voz entera conectada al pecho, no es falsete. Una proeza para muy pocos

Tal vez, porque su voz se escucha muy adentro

Perfectamente realizado: un falsettone (aunque algunos comentarios lo nieguen) que se funde perfectamente con la voz natural y que da como resultado un sobreagudo en voz mixta, de muy buena factura, timbrado y con armónicos. Mucho mejor, por ejemplo, que el falsete (demasiado evidente) dado por Pavarotti en una grabación que corre por ahí de esta misma romanza.

I had the joy of being on stage with Greg in Rossini's Otello. And I heard many versions of this finale from Puritani. Krauss, Mateuzzi, Blake, Brownlee,... and this is the only one where the F sounds nice and not as something strangly interpolated. It is natural and sounds not akward. Bravo Greg ! His voice got fuller and darker since and he now does more dramatic roles. But also in Otello his coloratura were smooth and al the rossinian ornamentation just easy and also glorious Hig D's EB and E's. He still got it .

Precisely. The early Pavarotti did ringing D's, but his F in this aria was a total head sound. I don't know how Kunde produced the notes, for he does seem to change the production somewhat from the full-throated regular tone, but the F remains similar to a regular sound and has tremendous ring.

Well no that isnt coherent with my breast register, and way to thin. So the solution is some kind of mix. It only happened one day. And it was a rehearsal but I got the F in full voice !! And after you try to recreate what you done. Its kinda go half into headvoice, put ressonance really forward, but keep breathing , jaw and troath low. So the tone is with enough squillo and also well supported. Iguess that is what Greg does to. Oh well this high F..... I guess its way more pleasant to hear two good D flats in full voice then to try this F that mostly sounds like the killing of a rooster.

There is a lot of nonsense written about singing by singers and voice teachers. Falsetto is not an obsolete term. It means you vocalize with just the outer edges of the vocal cords. If you use the whole cord, as you do in most singing, it is called 'modal'. If you crank up your fluoroscope you can see this. I'm a low bass. I sing Osmin and Sarastro and similar parts. When I was singing I used to interpolate low Cs in the operas I sang. Yet I have a tenor's High C. It is of course in falsetto. All trained male singers should be capable of singing a High C one way or the other. Before Duprez all tenors sang their Cs (and higher) in some kind of falsetto, Then Duprez sang it from 'the chest'. That means he sang it in his modal voice. I can't do that, nor can any bass or baritone and many tenors. Most famous 'big' tenors never sing a real High C on stage. If you have good High B Flat you can have a career you don't need a C.(ask Domingo). Kunde is an excellent tenor because he is so musical. If he didn't happen to have all those extreme high notes he still would be worth listening to. But he is one of a handful of operatic tenors who can really sing these parts. Listen to Pavarotti sing this on the full length LP. He switches from modal voice to falsetto like a light switch. It is all wrong. It destroys the line. It isn't musical. Kunde is much better and Kunde looks better on stage too.

@@Muttonchop_USA These are all 2nd and 3rd rate opera houses. Given the utter scarcity of good-sized tenor voices with an appealing tone and strong high notes, someone like Kunde should have been singing roles regularly at the Met, La Scala, Chica Lyric, etc. Instead they turn Kaufman into a superstar, and chase after singers like Beczala, Alvarez, and Alagna - all of whom are of lesser quality than Kunde, and certainly in the difficult roles that he has sung, such as Othello, Puritani, Fille de Regiment, etc. The same has been true in the past 30 years to an even greater degree regarding Salvatore Fisichella, who had stupendous high notes, a sweet and rich tone, and fine singing ability - but couldn't get an invite at the Met.

I also agree he's far from a Pavarotti or Domingo, but he is still better than many tenors singing at the Met today - even in standard roles, let alone in the high-range roles. That is the crime.

That was a decent high F

Such a great tenor was barely invited to the MET and only for replacing other singers. That means the MET doesn't support the best singers in the world and you don't have to sing at the MET to prove you're a great singer. See Piero Capucilli. He performed at the MET only once and was one of the best baritones of the 20th century second half :)

Eso se consideraría un falsete como lo hace Nicolai gedda en esta aria ?

I had the great joy of hearing Mr. Kunde in the role many years ago. But I was surprised and sorry he did not attempt the F. It seemed somehow out of character. As if Arturo, himself, had given up.

El agudo final un poco apretado. Por lo demás perfecto.

Un tenor de referència i una soprano també de referència.

Dから上になると声がガラッと変わってしまうにゃ。

Kunde sounds tired here. It must have been a full on performance

When I hear other tenors put out the high f they lose their masculinity, this doesn't happen to Greg, he keeps his manhood.

No es falsete, e verdadera voz de cabeza, y lo hacen varios tenores como: Kunde, Rocha, Demura, Brownlee, Camarena, Mateuzzi.....ellos tiene esa capacidad. El hecho que otros como Kraus, JDF, Fisichella... no lo hacen, no significa que sean grandes tenores.

Oleg VR If you are a tenor yourself you would know why. I am 19 and I am a tenor I know how hard it is to hit a high C on mix, what more of a high F. The passagio of tenors is from F# which is why we must shift to head tone but because of unrealistic operatic standards, we are forced to hit a high C on chest voice. We can't push that high. It's impossible. lol.

A me è accaduto appunto di trovarmi in questa difficoltà ma, in particolare, la difficoltà VERA è stata trovare un autentico insegnante di canto, ragione per cui ho imparato a cantare troppo tardi. Il motivo cardine di tutto ciò è la generale presunzione di saper cantare e di capire di canto confondendolo in genere con il grido e lo strillo. E' così che l'ambiente è invaso dai peggiori ciarlatani come anche da altri in buona fede che "insegnano" a cantare. Bhè, è molto semplice: il suono armonico DEVE possedere risonanza per essere tale. Prenda un diapason e lo faccia vibrare: a vuoto sarà appena udibile ma se lo appoggia anche solo su un tavolo, ne uscirà un suono decuplicato. Questa è la medesima differenza tra una voce che grida, un falsetto rinforzato e una voce che CANTA. E non dimentichi che ogni suono armonico deve possedere TIMBRO - ALTEZZA e INTENSITA', qualità che sono state ben identificate.
