Che gelida manina - Opera Hong Kong 2023 - Kang Wang

[@marcleysens7716]

Kang, you put so much character and truth into your expression of Rodolfo. So endearing to the character and the story. You have a wonderful dark timbre to your voice that is so easy on the ear. The emotion pours from your soul into your voice as you embody Rodolfo. One can see that you have tremendous respect for the composer's intent. Opera is far more than the crescendos when there is no soul and, unfortunately, there are few who truly have that ability. An ability which is often cultivated in and through suffering.

Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️

This is beyond glorious. Kang Wang is the lyric tenor I've been waiting for. I haven't heard a lyric tenor like his since the 1970s.

[@kangwangtenor]

Thank you! ❤️

Your voice is AMAAAAAAZING!!!!! BRAVO!!!!

[@ninecatsmagee8384]

Amazing. What a sound and consistency. Rich tone, great dynamics, tremendous phrasing and top notes. I love this voice. Hoping his dance card is full because everyone should be hiring him. He even overcomes stupid staging that puts a tenor on his face and then his knees to open such an aria! [Where do they find these stage directors?] Hoping some day to hear him live.

[@markwong85]

What a voice! Still waiting for the day I get to listen to you live!

Why does he sing flat????

[@wereqert2748]

唱的还行。就是有一个问题，为什么我看到的现代的tenor都喜欢比这个手臂张开的手势？是因为现在的很多老师会用这个手势来告诉你们如果打开声音吗？很鸡肋，而且在看表演的时候很出戏说实话，给人一种基本功不到位的感觉。不过你这么年轻做的还算可以了。

[@rjhe2894]

亢叔，我觉得你现在技术上还不是well developed, 即便听你近期的还是经常觉得脖子以上参与的太积极了，对比一下Jonathan Tetelman， 2017的时候他和你的状况还很相似 （kzbin.info/www/bejne/npTThoKqrruJndU），但是近两年技术明显发展了 （kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXLFgHiOhNJ2rJI）。希望对你有所借鉴。

[@kangwangtenor]

感谢感谢！我会再接再励！😄

[@marcleysens7716]

The second clip is a film production which can be spliced and re-record. Quite different from a live stage recording, so not a good piece to use to compare. Also, although Tetelman has a very similar timbre, I find his voice characterisation of the examples you give here, far less emotionally nuanced than Wang's. Hence my comment earlier here that opera is more than just voice technique. Sure, the talent and work on refining technique is part of it, but singing is a soul expression in the first instance. When the voice becomes the tool to express the soul and those two meet, you touch other souls and take them with you. The characterisation must serve the character and the story. Take Maria Callas for example. Her acting and soul immersion into the character compelled her voice in a sense to do the unprecedented. It was not her technique that made her an icon, but her passion. Wang has all of the acting skills (passion), voice and technique. Take for example the wonderful decresendo @ 01:10 and the sustained power @ 03:37 throughout all of the notes. To me Wang is the better allround performer.

[@kangwangtenor]

@@marcleysens7716 thank you very much! What you described has always been the “philosophy” of my singing/acting too - striving for technical perfection but always to serve the music and express the soul. ❤️

[@jaymschow6457]

Singer's technique are similar in this age. More important that Kangwang sings into the audience heart and leaving a reliable memory.😊❤😊
