I’m with you on that!!!

Thank you for watching!

Missing two verses on that video... I will write it here : L'ACCORDÉON SOLITAURE À minuit, Moscou dort, solitaire Sur l'Arbat, les cafés sont fermés La pluie fait briller les murs de pierre Et les pas sur les pavés usés À minuit, quand tout dort, solitaire L'accordéon se met à chanter C'est un refrain sans nom et sans âge Qui nous veille comme un phare sur la mer J'étais seul, seul au cours du voyage Naufragé face au bonheur désert L'accordéon m'appelle au passage J'en oublie tous les bruits du tonnerre (It begins here !) Cet air porte en lui l'amour du monde La tristesse et le cœur d'un pays Loin des guerres qui ravagent et qui grondent Au milieu d'une ville endormie Tout un peuple m'offre une seconde D'amitié et d'espoir infinis Le petit jour a repris sa place Sur l'Arbat, la vie est revenue Les commerces envahissent l'espace Les touristes vont sans être émus Dans mon cœur reste à jamais la trace D'un air d'accordéon disparu (I wrote that text 15 years ago, long time before Russian war against Ukraine... It's sad to sing that song now).

OMG Thaaaank you so much! hopefully we'll get an official version someday!@@stevenormandin7214

@@elpianolero Thanks !

Not yet ! That's my own lyrics. In the 1960's, french singer Yves Montand used that melody and sang his version "Joli mai".

I don't speak or understand french so I'll just have to invent my own in Spanish! Can you tell me what the general story of your version is?

@@elpianolero (Google Translation helped me a lot here !!) At midnight, Moscow sleeps, lonely On the Arbat, cafes are closed The rain makes the stone walls shine And the footsteps on the worn cobblestones At midnight, when everything sleeps, lonely The accordion begins to sing It's a nameless and ageless refrain Who watches over us like a lighthouse on the sea I was alone, alone during the trip Shipwrecked in the face of deserted happiness The accordion calls me as it passes I forget all the noises of thunder This air carries within it the love of the world The sadness and the heart of a country Far from the wars that ravage and rumble In the middle of a sleepy town A whole people offers me a second Of infinite friendship and hope The dawn has returned to its place On the Arbat, life has returned Businesses are invading the space Tourists go without being moved In my heart remains forever the trace With the air of a vanished accordion

Thanks Carlos! thats great compliment to hear from a great singer like you

I'd just not concur with the idea that any and every Rossinian voice will automatically be able to sing Wagner since there is sometimes a difference in nature, attitude and emission which is lighter in Rossini than in Wagner.

you don't know what you're talking about. lots of people with "careers" are actually horrible teachers. teaching requires a very different set of skills. just another person who didn't watch the video and decided to show his ignorance. if you wanna go learn from someone with a career like you say I guess go take lessons from Andrea Bocelli...

@@BigDaddyDracula Any singing teacher charging $150 a lesson needs the money and that’s why he teaches and is not in CAREER. He pretty much says that. He also says that he studied with people in a CAREER. And Fisichella doesn’t talk about vocal folds and tilts! He also says that the best way to learn to sing is to imitate the sound that the singer is making. He’s not ignorant and neither am I. You are though and can keep going to singers with no CAREER, 3 times a week for the next six years. There is ALWAYS something to learn from a singer who had a CAREER.

@@tenorotti still spouting irrelevant bullshit based on ignorance I see

@@BigDaddyDraculasuck my blood!

doesnt mean he doesnt teach it. He has IMMENSELY helped me with my breath/ support, and utilization/action of the diaphragm.

Because in the grand scheme of the voice it is less important than the the things he talks about here

Craig Sirianni, really good tenor taught by Lomonaco, worked with a guy with a very thin and small voice, and the guy had been studying in a musical University paying 60 000 buck a year. And when the guy's voice transformed into huge ringing one, hi university professor told him "This is great, but we don't need voice like this anymore. Corelli, Lomonaco etc. worked too hard. Today is the new era, we need much lighter voices". Here' the story kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYDZpYNtjNhrocU Michael Trimble says all the problems began when microphones appeared in theatres. Sometimes hidden ones, in the walls or on the floor. So, I don't think "This is opera" guy is 100% wrong. The truth is somewhere in between, I guess.

@@Delectatio I think the main issue with whoever ran This Is Opera! was their absolutely toxic demeanor. It's one thing to have a different opinion on vocal pedagogy. It's another to be a cunt about it.

Ok boss.
