Thank you Rachelle and Derrick for this outstanding video/audio presentation on a very misunderstood subject. There really WAS a time when singers had PITCH-DOMINANT voices as a result of balanced registration. It’s often overlooked in this era of “loosy goosey”, wobbly, no-pitch-center-of-any-kind singing. Unbalanced registration WEARS SINGERS OUT. I just got a CD of Nedda Casei’s Poème de l’amour et de La mer and Ravel’s Scheherazade. Not a hint of weakness or unsteadiness to be heard. Just gorgeous, balanced, flowing sound. In her time she (like Lucine Amara, Frances Bible, and many others) was respected as a second-tier artist. Today Casei, Amara, and Bible would mop the floor with all of our front rank singers. ALL of them. They took their time and learned how to sing. Thanks again for this. It’s evident a lot of work and love went into it.

I am so glad you guys put this video up. Not once over maybe 12+ years with about 3 different long time teachers and others has anyone taught me this blending, I had to figure it out for myself, I do it a lot in my video of For You there Is No Song - I look forward to doing these exercises. You guys are great.

REALLY anxious to watch (and study) this entire video! Sadly, I had time for only the first 6 minutes right now, but am VERY impressed!! So much detail provided about proper Bel Canto singing; an art that in our day is almost entirely lost!!! Thank you for providing these great examples of singing as well as the written examples of vocal instruction!!

Classic Italian technique of singing. We sing in the mix of head and chest resonances. No throat involved ever! I’m afraid it’s lost. Most teachers can’t teach it but many think they can. Don’t know what happened. Scary

Sigrid Onegin......a recording for the famous Island. One to listen on and on......normally I don't like these too old recordings before 1925 ( the reason is the technique : around 1925 the recording technique has made a huge progress), but this recording sung by Mrs Onegin : il segreto rivelato per cantare divin......

Hello there! I first want to say that I am absolutely blown away by the quality of this video, there were multiple moments where I started tearing up. I ask please, where did you find that specific recording of Boris Gmyria? It may be one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.

Not nearly as high as Baltsa chested, and not quite as open vowel as she did, but I can see now that tradition somewhat continued with her type of singing, and this has been poo-pooed by so many post-1950s, I'd say. Why were so many voice teachers shitting on this style as "ruining the voice?" I think slamming into it by doing heavy repertoire a la Callas and certainly Sills, they used them as an example when you can easily hear that both Sills and Callas did NOT follow this style of blending at the lower passaggio as part of their standard approach to singing. This is probably why they ran into problems. As a countertenor, the style of singing early rep always brings the head as low as possible. It's simply not practical to me nor anyone else. It's so much more natural to bring the modal voice just a bit higher, in my experience, and it's more musical, cultivated and fosters also the natural tendency for the voice to want to switch around that place as one sings further into a performance. One more note: Te Kanawa said speaking her dialogue after the Czardas aria was impossible because she had just sung this big high aria. Well - if one incorporated the technique of continually blending on the bottom as this video fosters, she would not have that problem. It's this pure head voice throughout ALL the evening that makes it impossible to go back into modal harder.
