Franco Fagioli - Parto qual pastorello, ARTASERSE - J.A Hasse

[@maitestorchi2497]

Une aria que j'écoute toujours d'une seule traite, presque sans respirer, entrainée par la succession de virtuosités de cette performance si riche, c'est phénoménal ! Bravoooooo!

[@renatapassoni1379]

Meravigliosa voce. In questo canto la.Voce SUPERA OGNI ASPETTATIVA.🦋👍🌹😁

[@НатальяАлдатова]

Восхитительно! Невероятно! Огромный диапазон, совершенная техника. И , наконец, сам очень красивый! Счастья и здоровья, дорогой Франко.

[@henningbeil8797]

Je n'ai jamais écouté une voix de contreténor aussi phénoménale. La virtuosité, le timbre, la tessiture, l'expressivité - tout est hors norme. Quel chanteur peut chanter des trilles pareilles? Je n'en connais pas.. Je n'ai pas les mots pour exprimer tout mon enthousiasme. Quel bonheur de pouvoir assister aux performances de cet artiste unique! Espérons que "l'Oreste" en juin aux TCE pourra avoir lieu.

[@suhailadevi7649]

Good heavens what a performance! Franco Fagioli never ceases to amaze me. How lucky we are to have such an artist alive today.

[@PurpleShaman121]

His voice is quite pleasant to the ears and his stage presence is almost overwhelming lol A gifted countertenor and a fantastic entertainer that we're so fortunate to have in our times :)

Wonderful Fagioli! The best!

[@gianlucaventrella2921]

Una grandissima emozione ascoltarlo dal vivo a Martina Franca... straordinario Franco Fagioli!

[@michaelgrieve7578]

The whole singing world owes so much to our Joan (The Late Dame Joan Sutherland) who with her husband Richard Bonnyng brought this too,long forgotten music back onto the operatic stage so that voices like this could be heard with Baroque players - what a legacy and now we can enjoy singing and playing like this BRAVO indeed

[@armandocasarini1063]

grandioso, mio Dio che salti, che agilit. Grandissimo interprete di quel repertorio. Bravo Franco

[@henningbeil8797]

C'est incroyable, phénoménale. Je ne connais aucun chanteur qui serait capable de chanter cela. Farinelli sur son nuage doit être enthousiasmé et en même temps un peu jaloux. J'espère que Franco Fagioli va faire encore beaucoup de CDs. Il faut garder un maximum d'enregistrements de cette voix unique.

[@whitelup]

Fantastico Franco Fagioli ... una voz excepcional. Bravo!!

Franco Fagioli has simply the most beautiful versatile voice ever. Had the privilege of hearing him live in the Wigmore Hall London last November. I really hope he will come here again. Any chance??

[@christianlefebvre3021]

Belle combinaison : Hasse et Fagioli.

[@martinmotter2012]

El mejor del mundo !!!!!

That's one of the basics of ornementations: to enlarge even more the ambitus written by the composer!

[@harihara7]

Lo stupendo ! Bravissimo !

[@sonqualnave]

Yes you are right, the part of Arbace in Vinci's Artaserse in 1730 wasn't created originally for Farinelli. but he did sang the Vinci's Arbace too, in the revival in Ferrara in 1731 :-)

[@harihara7]

Oui, exceptionnellement doué et doté de moyens vocaux phénoménaux. Il peut chanter de contralto à soprano lyrique sans détimbrer ni perdre ses couleurs vocales. L'air qu'il chante est "inhumain" et bien peu de chanteuses s'y risquent, encore moins de chanteurs, en public et dans un théâtre à ciel ouvert, performance ahurissante....

[@MalisandreFeline]

Impressionnant de talent et de virtuosité !Très peu de chanteurs peuvent en faire autant .

[@maitestorchi2497]

Aucun en core et on est maintenant en 2023 !

[@justy2408]

Stunning

[@sonqualnave]

This was definitely written for Farinelli without any doubt! I have the manuscript at home written by Hasse's hand and on the top you can read the name of the singer as composers used to do : "for Sgr. Carlo Broschi detto Farinello". He created the role at the creation and you can read different comment by historian of the time talking about this aria! You can go in the Music department in the Library of Bologna in italy to see by yourself.

[@riccardobertarello3722]

Fantastico

[@irinameshkova2832]

Наш гениальный современник.

[@Avedissalitis]

If I didn't hear it I wouldn't believe it. Incredible great technique. I'm convinced: I will buy a ticket for his Artaserse in Cologne in May. Irrespective of the price!

[@Norman1566]

I do envy you. I hope the Metroplitan Opera will bring him soon

[@Avedissalitis]

Norberto Torriente There is yet no other countertenor who is able to do the same things like Franco. I just fear his career will be short due to his recklessness with his voice.

[@ChristopherRSkinner]

Avedissalitis Norberto Torriente I've held off from commenting on this but I keep thinking about it and I have to say something. Perhaps it is out of fear that you both are right. That said, I want to defend Franco here (though I know you're not criticizing him, exactly). I agree he has a very aggressive performance style and he certainly is free with his incorporation of high notes, stylistic darkening of the tone (particularly for Senesino arias), and encores. I do think there are risks. That said, other than perhaps the darkening, I don't hear anything in the tone that worries me the way that even early Villazon did. Now I'm not pedagogical expert, but I have sung a great deal. Also, from what I understand, the countertenor mechanism allows for less tension than the tenor mechanism (I'm a tenor) does. As I understand it, a tenor can pull through with too much weight and tension and even still sound thrilling. I have been led through my research to believe that countertenor technique is more binary - excess tension prevents the singing from being successful. Perhaps my analysis in error. I do agree Franco performs with abandon, and it's part of what makes him great but does present a risk. I myself worry about the darkening, though he does it intentionally and I'm sure has some understanding of what it feels like for his voice. Particularly, it sounds just as darkening rather than adding weight, which would have more potential negative effects. Many (both admirers and detractors of Fagioli and Bartoli) compare him to Cecilia Bartoli, who has certainly had a long career. We can look to others outside of this select style of Baroque singing who also have had similar performative traits and also had at least reasonably long careers.

[@Avedissalitis]

Christopher R. Skinner As far as I know the technique of a coutertenor is much more demanding for the voice and hence the carreers are generally shorter (except maybe a Wagner-Tenor^^). Not to be misunderstood, I admire what Franco is able to do with his voice. I love his works. Hopefully you are right and we will be able to enjoy him singing for a long time. :)

[@ChristopherRSkinner]

My Aw Avedissalitis It's true a countertenor voice cannot compare in sheer volume to that of a man singing in chest or chest-head mix. I do believe though, that like many lighter-voiced singers, both male and female (although as I understand it the resonance structure is unsurprisingly more similar to the female voice), they tend to rely on harmonic structure to carry the voice rather than sheer volume. I can certainly see, though, that the technique would be more demanding in some ways than the techniques of tenors/baritones/basses. While I don't consider countertenors to be somehow freakish or anything along those lines, it's clear that the technique they use, not unlike that of the castrati they sometimes are called upon to emulate, is different from the mode that most people associate with male singing generally and perhaps requires greater manipulation of the instrument (almost like half-holing on certain wind instruments or playing overtones on strings). (There is, of course, a long history of using falsetto in singing, but the point stands.) That said, I guess my analysis was of Franco compared against other countertenors, not necessarily against other voice types entirely. Scholl and Daniels have certainly had sustained careers over at least a relatively long period of time, so I'm not sure it's doom for the countertenors collectively. I would have to admit that Fagioli's technique is much more aggressive and weightier than theirs, though, and I don't know what that means for his longevity. It sounds healthy for now, but I've also never heard a countertenor like that before so there's not a lot by which to measure.

[@EstelleJRM]

You're right , it's the Vinci version . I misread your post , sorry

[@lalagonegaga]

Really impressive.

[@anothertry75]

I disagree. Only by Fagioli you get a real impression of THE kind of voice this music was composed for.This voice has no female mezzo...(except Ewa Podlés).I am sure it was not only the castration, but the combination of castration with a well educated head voice that made the Castrati so great, plus something Mr Fagioli so well uses: deap bass notes in combination with astionishing soprano heights. 4 oktaves of breathtaking coloratures. All this has Mr Fagioli and he shows it. Congrats to him.

[@LABARITONESSA]

4 OTTAVE DI VOCE MA CI RENDIAMO CONTO? DAL RE BEMOLLE SOTTO IL RIGO AL RE BEMOLLE SOVRACUTO! BRAVISSIMO FRANCO FAGIOLI UNA VOCALITA' KE FA IMPRESSIONE E INVIDIA A KIUNQUE!

[@DrGarri]

I think this is the closest we can get to hearing the type of voice this music was composed for, Mr. Fagioli's voice has no feminine quality whatsoever, which was actually one of the characteristics of the castrato voice. To mister "Maximus tenor", if you have nothing positive to say, just say nothing. Your comments and your arrogant self proclaimed nick name tell us much more about your self image than about Mister Fagioli and his incredible talent. I'll hear him in Halle in June, YEAH!

beautiful aria by Hasse, we need a complete recording of this Artaserse as well as of Siroe. fagioli is certainly impressive but I find his singing a little engorged in the low register and a little garish in the high register, maybe a mezzo would be better.

mi avrei piasciuto sentire i suoi Fa :-)

[@sonqualnave]

si canta 4 re ma 3 ottave! le ottave sono lo spazio fra i re....ha sicuramente un po piú di 3 ottave sicuro se riesce cantare 3 ottave in cadanza ma 4 non lo so, chiedo a vedere... vuole dire che fa il re bemole di basso profondo (che già i bassi profondi non riescono a cantare in Osmin..hehehe) e forse ha il fa grave di Sarastro e puo fare il Fa acuto della regina della notte, ma la ancora chiedo a sentire... :-) una ottava completa in piú è enorme lo sai :-)

[@LABARITONESSA]

IO HO CONTATO 4 RE HAHAHA CMQ 4 OTTAVE LE HA DI SICURO!

[@71ariodante]

Desde que descubrí, a través de una crítica, a este artista, estoy absolutamente fascinado; sin ambargo creo que sería comveniente que controlase un poco ese vibrato para que no se exagere y se termine convirtiendo en oscilaciones. Me fascina como cambia desde el registro de cabeza hasta el de pecho sin apenas cambios de color, de forma bastante natural.

[@jovi1715]

High D?????

[@sonqualnave]

Je ne parlais pas de concurrence! Mais je tenais simplement à être précis. Il utilise un ambitus de 3 octaves et non 4 sur cet air. C'est tout! Beaucoup de gens sont influencés par le changement de registre impressionant mais ce sont bel et bien 3 octaves. PS: Et sinon sur le plan d'octaves proprement parlé il y a beaucoup de chanteurs qui peuvent chanter sur 3 octaves, mais cela n'enlève rien au côté époustouflant de cet air exécuté ici!

[@tberkley2659]

Is the libretto available anywhere? I bought the CD, but there is no libretto to accompany it.

[@jovi1715]

Sarebbe possibile avere la registrazione completa dell'opera? Grazie :-)

[@sonqualnave]

How can you say an artist will not be able to improve anymore...? anyway...

[@iacobellus]

[@harihara7]

Oui, je reconnais que sa diction n'est pas parfaite, mais hélas, c'est le cas de beaucoup de chanteurs et de chanteuses aujourd'hui... Je trouve courageux de sa part de se lancer dans un tel répertoire, qui demande des interprètes hors du commun. Un véritable défi...qui peut remplacer Farinelli aujourd'hui ? Quant à Hasse, je vous trouve injuste ! Rien que cet opéra est rempli de perles ! Ecoutez seulement l'air "se al labbro mio..." par le même chanteur, on est loin des pyrotechnies ! Superbe!

[@harihara7]

But this aria IS "show off" ! A pinnacle of "aria di bravura" ! Written for Farinelli ! If you dislike this kind of music don't listen to Hasse ! IMO, there is no better rendition of this aria, even if not perfect (but who should be ...)

[@sonqualnave]

I also posted a version with Vivica Genaux.. listen to it! :-)

[@sonqualnave]

sono 3 ottave dal re3 al re6!

[@sonqualnave]

D3 - D6

[@sonqualnave]

I can understand that you prefer Fagioli but it's a bit exagerated...Jarroussky has much more the 1 octave. Listen "in mirar la mia sventura" where he goes easily till low F sharp and in "Qui ti sfido" till high G sharp so that's already more then 2 octaves!! 2 octaves are the average ambitus of an opera singer. So you cannot critics an artist on what nature gaves him. a singer is not better because his ambitus is larger. some singer with very small ambitus are incredible musicians!

[@arthurfilemon6038]

Baroque in it's essence is exagerated, so what he does here is very acceptable.

[@iacobellus]

no, scusa, ma le ottave sono tre………

[@sonqualnave]

Even if she doesn't do all the written high D's

[@Sorrentodellesirene]

Peccato che anche la pirotecnica era una parte fondamentale del barocco. Tipo i castrati immobili come pali che si slanciava in volatine e ornamenti degni di un film di fantasia. Esistono brani atti a commuovere, altri a far notare le proprie capacità teciniche e l'immensa tessitura.

[@EstelleJRM]

SHE?????
