Rockwell Blake - RAI 1991

[@massimoiapichino6257]

Il più grande tenore rossiniano di tutti i tempi qui al top del suo splendore vocale

[@juandelacruzlopezgomez4619]

Extraordinario Tenor Americano que tuve el honor de escucharlo en mi Pais (Municipal de Santiago de Chile)en la opera El Barbero de Sevilla, donde maravillo con su fraseo y entonación.

[@artfuldodger4850]

Found this concert purely by accident whilst searching for more of Rockwell Blake. Utterly blown away, the whole evening was remarkable from start to finish. The orchestra, brilliant. The conductor was outstanding, the relationship with Mr. Blake totally as one and the singing, what can be said that hasn’t already been said. Awesome.

[@alexeyizmirliev64]

Era veramente straordinario. Tecnica, gusto, mezzi vocali, presenza in scena...aveva tutto. Il tenore rossiniano per eccellenza.

[@blascortes8391]

È Vero. Ben deto e inconfutabile!!

Un bellissimo timbro da Tenore di grazia

[@lucianasalis9216]

Sono presa dall’incantesimo di questo incredibile, meraviglioso Artista! ❤

[@20150alex]

Breath incredibly long, cantilena luxurious, nuances of the most exquisite abyss, trill, staccato, horse racing, top notes, range - something beyond! This guy was and for a long time will remain tenor # 1 Rossini and Mozart to anyone who understands the singing, and students will be a guiding light.

[@andresdfl9778]

Fantástico e inigualable cantante, en el convergen el talento y la práctica constante, basta ver que con esa nota sostenida final dejó el director de la orquesta con cara de orgasmo. No me explico porqué no es mas reconocido en comparación a Pavaroti, Juan Diego Flores, etc.

[@davidplazamarin8803]

En cuanto a Pavarotti, son repertorios totalmente distintos, y en cuanto a Florez, no se pueden comparar... Blake es infinitamente mejor.

[@acitipo]

EsTos tenores que mencionas Han vivido en diferentes épocas. Blake tiene un fiato único, y la potencia de su voz es inusual. El timbre de Flórez es bellísimo, único, que no tiene Blake… solo Alva es superior a JDF, en belleza de timbre.

[@davidplazamarin8803]

@@acitipo perdona, no conozco a Alva?, dime nombre completo. Aunque Camarena y Mironov creo que no tienen nada que envidiar a Florez en cuanto a timbre.

[@davidplazamarin8803]

@@acitipo Luigi Alva...???. No lo conocia. Ciertamente muy bueno. Pero si comparamos diferentes epocas, en cuanto a timbre, con Pavarotti "se rompió el molde". Y hablo de timbre, no de coloratura.

I STUDIED SINGING TECHNICS. But listening sometimes I 53:54 ask myself “ HOW does he and wherefrom this long air ? He was a singing phenomen ❤❤

[@gerardmignon700]

Waoooooo ! Il a tout pour lui ce mec, élégance, voix, style, classe, souffle inouï, quant à la technique, elle est insurpassable. N'en jetez plus !

[@sgnmath1234]

So fantastic a singer that words can not completely express my feeling. But this conductor has got to be the most singer friendly I have ever seen. He breathes with Rockwell Blake. The unity and uplifting cohesion between the two was so obviously evident.

[@moishemillerr]

Yes conductor seems to be very good

[@dindi8270]

They always say that the power and quality of the voice come from the diaphragm, and it's fascinating to watch just how hard Rockwell Blake's abdomen is working throughout these pieces, especially so in "Ah il più lieto il più felice". Fantastic singer, with an incredible instrument !

[@joaogumundstotir2934]

50:17 the Clarity of a countertenor in a tenore leggero. GRANDÍSSIMO ROCKWELL BLAKE! BRAVO!

[@ocuptoi]

Merci pour ce document rare et unique sur Rockwell Blake, pour moi le plus grand ténor mozartien et rossinien du XXème siècle.

[@giuseppecentrone8300]

[@armidalicorne]

Tout à fait d'accord avec vous. J'ai eu le privilège de le voir sur scène en France et à l'étanger à plusieurs reprises (Barbier, Cenerentola, la Donna del lago L'italienne in Algéri, etc..... et les Puritains de Bellini à Bercelona. Je peux dire et affirmer que jamais le live ne remplacera ld CD pour un artiste comme lui. Le chant rossinien demande le live..le disque ne donnera jamais le "plein", des interprétations hors norme du Maestro Blake.. 2 soirées de Barbier de Séville, deux soirées où dans la cabalette du "Cessa de piu resistere" les variations chantées ont été diffèrentes et originales. Jamais personne n'arrivera à l'égaler dans ce répertoire. Pour le moment du moins..

[@silviaelenajanschi8828]

Rockewell Blake, o el disfrute y arte total en el canto.. ¡¡qué capacidad y talento increíbles, para nuestro deleite! gracias, Maestro!.

[@umaratabilgi161]

A glimpse into true early 19th century singing, true bel canto

Paradisiaco, Rocky è stato un fenomeno assoluto

[@chonghwakim4978]

He is one of the greatest tenor!

[@passione6923]

Che fiato♡

[@maxiquintieri]

The control of his own voice is incredible

Magnífico!!

[@Zashorigin]

Mr. Blake is simply Spectacular!

[@thricegreatart]

Rocky... che bellissima!! Nobody can match this sound.

[@ziobiso]

Fantastico quando alla fine del Barbiere di Siviglia il Maestro gli dice "sei matto"...Grande Rocky

[@charlesgray1498]

JEEZ What a pair this guy has

[@helmutdienstmann9696]

He is the absolut king for and in Belcanto singing. There is really nobody who can reach him. Especially in this age. Florez f.i. now sings Verdi. There are a lot of Tenors who sing Belcanto in their younger "springtime" and then follows only heat air.

[@giorgioleoni3471]

Here Blake was 40. When you wrote that comment, Florez was 46

[@joseluismarin4359]

impresionante, inigualable, dicción, y sobre todo, el fiato, sublime.

[@Tenormind]

Amazing! As everyone said more of him please! Also the information at the beginning is amazing and useful! Thanks for this wonderful concert!

[@tenorschofield]

MARAVIGLIOSO!!!

[@steeveheimanumai6495]

Ahhhhh magnifique Rockwell 💜

[@stevimichael5553]

One of the rare tenors that understands and correctly sings these pieces. E.g. messa di voce, trills, phrasing...these are extremely difficult to sing correctly and using correct breath control.

[@juandelacruzlopezgomez4619]

Heemoso Violín y buen profesor.

[@davidparrish2534]

Amazing tenor. He sings so many difficult arias other great tenors do not incredible breath control And the conductor connecting so well with Rockwell without a score the whole concert

[@sanfordpress8943]

Thank you for Rockwell

[@lioneldemello9707]

Único! Realmente extraordinario!!! El final es acalambrante!!! Como para que el director no le diga “estás loco” (sei matto). Muy merecida ovación!! Gracias por compartir

[@reign.vitaly]

So that is what the conductor said after that 12 second long high Bflat. That is hilarious and awesome at the same time. Bravo maestro!!

[@stevimichael5553]

The perfect blend of control, power, technique and breathing...can hold his breath forever..do not anyone else with this phrasing ie lyric, coloratora except richard conrad, but completely different register..
