Post like these amaze me, Kaufmann's voice is not the "produced voice" of any RECENT tenors, but is a throwback to the "golden age". I would assert he has the most Caruso like voice of any tenors since Caruso, in the same catagory as Mario Del Monaco, Jan Pierce and Jon Vickers - the MANLY tenor, but it's been so long people are confused by his singing.

[@turbofreddy]

Whether you like Kaufmann's voice or find it too covered, ingolato, whatever, this is still great singing. This guy always has a deep connection with his support mechanism and yes, perhaps, darkens his tone a little too artificially and "cheats" certain piano dynamics but please take note of his artistry, his way of completely conscienciously bringing more or less mask resonance in his tones for crescendo effect, etc. This guy knows his voice. He doesn't need you telling him he is a baritone or other useless comments. If he were a baritone, he would not be able to SUSTAIN THE TENOR TESSITURA! Enough with the amateur voice experts!

[@psalmtone2008]

It isn't about doing the "right" technique; it's about doing the right technique for you. When Kauffman sang Mozart as a lyric, you could tell he was "lightening" his voice which is actually much more artificial for him than what he does now.

[@stevevandien310]

The ring, ping, intensity, squillo or whatever you want to call it makes the voice carry and makes the sound exciting. A voice that significantly lacks thus quality tends toward dullness, whatever the singer's virtues. And Kauffmann has a great many: intelligence, imagination, musicality, a strong and appealing stage presence --

[@professionalmusician1172]

This is a good example how you can accomplish a convincing and even touching rendition of a difficult aria, even if the whole organisation of your vocal sound production is fundamentally flawed and manipulated. Kaufmann's strength is his great musicality and concentration, united with a great breath controll. On the other hand you have a voice that is artificially darkened and pushed backwards. Of course, dark voices are very fashionable at the moment, so many singers tend to manipulate their instruments towards that 'ideal'. The price is high: An overall throaty sound, piano notes that have no 'core' and sound 'clowdy', high notes that are exciting, yes, but also quite close to a howl. On the other hand we hear have an artist that has something to say, that has - in spite of a vocal organisation that is fundamentally problematic - found a great range of colours. That is more than most singers have.

[@ReGremlin]

wow do you want a medal?

[@PoeCompany]

Agreed with you. Good write up

[@MaguindanaoBoy]

@@ReGremlin Taking the time to organize your thoughts, put them on here for people to read without puzzling them and having more than one sentence in a paragraph (which I am attempting to do now to, to resist the "internet thing"): all this makes "professional musician" worth reading. His assessment is quite good, he knows his stuff. Acknowledge that and you've already helped, without the snark. On the other hand, a medal is kind of like a cowboy scene where people spit all clang-itty into a spitoon and say: "Oh, whatever, I come from the sticks, you must have studied somewhere." I sang Carmina Burana's drunken abbot (estuans, etc) aria once, long, long ago, just that way (artificially held back in throat somehow to get that licorice hue) --> to great effect and praise from those who liked it. But never could I have held that stance and wrongness in my voice without straining it - and not damaging your voice calls for placement, projection, closeness to the proper register "passaggi" - a sense of how the sound radiates out while being "inhaled" and a relaxed stance. At the same time you must also contain the expenditure of air with consummate breath control. It is one of the most exposed musical instruments, and as some people say about a Mozart aria: you stand there bare naked for the experts to realize that you are up to the task, or not. But who cares: even his biography has a translation which places descriptive commentary in the wrong octave, meaning he is surrounded by some people who are clueless about vocal professionalism. Yet he remains a professional through-and-through and deserves the acclamation and recognition of his artistic stance and power for what it is, a great life accomplishment he consistently delivers. No wonder we are all thrilled by those "money notes" and the whole package!

comparto el criterio de turbofreddy. pero sobre todo destaco la interpretación como siempre. realmente sentir lo que dice una pieza como un requiem es además de sublime algo absolutamente raro. no he escuchado nunca un canante lírico cantar las partes correspondientes, en la voz que fuera de un requiem, no solo el de Verdi, poniendole dramatismo y actuación a algo que es absolutamente polifónico. Jonas Kaufmann debe actuar hasta cuando canta en la ducha. es un genio. sabe el sentido de cada palabra, de cada oración, sea de la más ligera de las óperas o de las piezas musicales de repertorio sacro, la verdad no hay palabras para destacar eso. si les gusta los spinto posiblemente juzgarán que es el mejor de todos los tiempos, otros repararán en algun que otro "truco" no académico para enfatizar el sentido de lo que canta. los detractores se lo pierden. los que valoramos lo diferente lo aclamamos.

Tiago: hay tantas formas de acceder a este arte que cada uno se fija en lo que le "calienta". Para unos la voz, para otros la facilidad, el timbre, la claridad del sonido, la uniformidad en toda la extension de la voz, la linea de canto, el gusto musical, la interpretacion del texto, etc. Y esto es lo bueno de este arte. Unos adoran a Kraus y a otros los deja frios. Kaufman es un gran cantante. No se puede dudar. Pero su sonido no es italiano o mejor, latino-maditerraneo. Es un misterio para mi, que cantantes como Rugero Raimondi o Thomas Hampson han podido hacer la carrera que han hecho. No es que no canten decentemente, pero la calidad del sonido, a mi parecer no corresponde al nivel donde cantan. Pero obviamente, estoy equivocado. Asi que si te gusta Kaufman, me parece muy bien. A mi tambien. Con reparos.

pacific lyric Comparto Pacific Lyric, lástima que hay mucho crítico y poco tenor relevante entre los que critican, puesto que lo que para ti y para mi es algo extenso en la apreciación de un arte que como buen arte tiene todos los componentes para que vibre el espíritu del que accede a ella, otros suponen que un totem parado en medio de un escenario, tan frio como un cubito sacado del refrigerador es suficiente y gran cantante si sigue sin separarse un ápice de la técnica. la tan rigurosa y enquilosada técnica que no es otra cosa que el aprendizaje y el ejercicio de un arte en este caso musical. pero la técnica sola hace de un cantante un gran profesor. para que ademas, sea artista debe ser capas de trasmitir y emosionar. caso contrario continuamos admirando a una momia egipcia que canta ópera no un actor y cantante conjugado en una sola persona que, dicho sea de paso, es la base de la interpretación en la lírica.
