Perfect Italian .... Just a stunnigly beautiful voice! Oh my goodness, such a gift... and SO handsome!

Un giovane tenore di talento per il Teatro lirico. Se sarà accorto e ben consigliato ha un avvenire di successo assicurato: i mezzi non gli mancano. Bravo! In bocca al lupo … e buon studio, Josh Lovell!

Hermoso timbre tremolo firme, color aterciopelado , hermosa figura, aria para tenor ligero, a mezza voce. Luigi Alva lo canto perfecto de antología.

His voice excites me! Brilliant singing. He has a good bel canto technique. Definitely I will watch his star rise! Thank you for singing my most favourite tenor aria.

He’s there to improve, people, and the teacher is there to soot opportunities. Wonderful video to show aspiring opera singer what the process is like. Sometimes maestros will give tips, because of their amazing hearing and melody/harmony, not because they themselves can sing better.

[@OperaBuff1935]

I attended one of Carlos Berganzi's last performances of "Elizir" in the USA - it was a performance by the Baltimore Opera. At intermission, it was announced to the audience that Carlos was suffering from voice problems but was going to sing the work anyway. I tried to, but couldn't enjoy it as much, because I was worrrying about Carlos and his voice, and hope it wasn't going to crack, or something.

[@musettina6adina224]

Could you kindly spell Maestro Bergonzi s name correctly- he was Italian, his name was Carlo,not Carlos.

[@spider3web221]

So what??

[@caninbar]

The 'e' in 'chiedo' is open!

[@heizukowsky]

There is a difference on the two 'di puo non chiedo'. The first starts on B natural - the second on C. Common mistake.

[@JosephDoody1]

A mistake he does not make.

[@heizukowsky]

@@JosephDoody1 23:47 He begins on a B natural. It is supposed to be a C. Even John Fisher sings it incorrectly afterwards.

[@JosephDoody1]

@@heizukowsky nah that's a c. As in his rendition of the whole aria, it's perhaps a little scoopy (the consonant pitched slightly lower - I don't mind it tbh) but definitely the note is C.

[@heizukowsky]

@@JosephDoody1 But the value of the note is still wrong. Its half the length should it be a C. Look at the score.

[@JosephDoody1]

@@heizukowsky ok now I see your confusion... It's an alternative that (rightly or wrongly) some tenors have employed to allow them to take the phrase to a high A (as he does), instead of the G (the same peak as the earlier phrase). You're quite right about the rhythm, of course, which is changed for the same reason.

[@mid-zz6ct]

He's belting. No "girare" in this voice at all.

[@markjenkins1072]

Really , All the difficult things to master , are already there, he's doing great. The journey is the destination !

[@fernandoleitao4469]

Beautiful voice and italian diction.it’s true that the voice does not always »turn « and the support is not always effective but his merits are imense. I am much more doubtful about the teacher’s merits...

[@peterlundgren8090]

Pop voice for opera , only mix singing

[@celibidache1000]

No chest. Boring.

[@jenspflug7473]

Who is that "expert" Fisher? Never seen nor heard of.... tenor would probably be good for Broadway although they have better high notes there.....

[@celibidache1000]

I only needed to hear his speaking voice to know there were tensions in the back of the tongue and that he would sing in head voice, and lack chest.

[@DanMontesTenor]

Pretty, but even a leggiero or tenore di grazia must address the appoggio and passaggio in the classical technique, otherwise too close to pop singing. You gave a little in the first chiedo and the last. But essentially ignored it throughout the aria. It is what separates from each other. But pretty.

[@scotrule6128]

Perhaps you should teach then You Tube critique/star?🤫

[@aaronmichaelcooker]

@@scotrule6128 He has a brilliant point actually. He's got a great idea of bel canto and sings well, but yes a little on the open side in the passagio. He narrows more at certain points and you can hear the difference. Perhaps thats what Danny was referring to.

[@OGrauMusic]

Great instrument in his voice, but the technique is poorly focused (high larynx, nasal voice, neck tension)

[@MrTLevesque82]

High larynx tongue root elevation is the only way to sing full tenor squillo. His nasal port is closed. You are healing his ciaro scuro with palate

[@OGrauMusic]

@@MrTLevesque82 Here the student sings with tension, tongue tense, nasal, tense neck and high larynx in treble, insecure voice in treble, very goat, this is not a solid technique. It is sad, because the student has qualities, but bad technique.

Nasal, high larynx... Yep, sounds like modern singing.

[@MrTLevesque82]

It sounds nasal bc of high squillo, and tessitura results from high larynx

[@tonedeafsinger3936]

So many problems that can't write down.. at the beginning ...furtiva.. should go down and up.. goes up and down... Negli occhi suoi spunto doesn't just go right. And some or more things then. But then "...sembro.." what was that low part? He lost the air and just tried to survive or what? As a whole, the singing is thin and uninteresting. A karaoke kind of. Ask yourself, would you buy a record? Che più - the più should be more (or least as much) dominant as Che but can't see it. And so on and so on.. Anyway, he is a singer but there are thousands of similar singers. By the way, I didn't even realise he was singing the cadence, I must have slept Maybe we should have some web site for adequate singers. We all can't be Carusos.

[@kentst8956]

It seems that this young man is doing a bang-up job in this master class. This is a learning environment ... "progress not perfection". I enjoyed hearing this process a great deal! I can't imagine buying a record of Caruso either. I have this theory that all these singers from bygone eras weren't nearly as good as we make them out to be, and we would be quite disappointed if we could hear what they really sounded like. Take the following recording for example, ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2rWdaZrfpKXirM ) I find Caruso's tempo painfully slow and he takes enormous liberties with the rhythm practically destroying the rhythmic pulse in places. I also find his vibrato to be uneven and quite unpleasant, not to mention that he is frequently slightly under pitch. Maybe I would feel different if I could hear him today live, but I'm guessing I wouldn't.
