Yijie Shi: PUCCINI Che gelida manina (La Bohème)

[@patricktee6305]

A remarkable clear voice with excellent power and ringing top notes! An exciting new (to me, at any rate) tenor who must surely go to the top of his class!

[@colldollm51]

An artist with clarity, warmth and purpose. Just lovely, a wonderful experience hearing this young smiling man!

[@joseph14843]

Beautiful tenor voice, perfect Italian pronunciation. This tenor has a great future ahead of him. Best wishes!

[@charliezhang6820]

You're right sir, he'd became one of the most famous tenor in China now.

[@mikelinxi3828]

Perfect judging. He is the best now in my opinion.

The only tenor I know who smiles before the high C. Marvelous. Gorgeous singing.

[@roderickoconnor3318]

good lad, sounds like he means it rather than just bawling it out like the rest of them, this is a delicate love song not a beer drinking song.

[@alexmz123]

Boy, what a beautiful voice! So bright and warm!

[@ti1736]

Bravo!! Beautiful voice! He sings as if he's on the stage set and talking to Mimi. Love his interpretation and expression. This video should get more "like it!".

[@alexgomez2]

Wow! Wow! How come this video has been on KZbin for 10 years and I just found it? This tenor possesses a most beautiful “squillo” there is. I bet his voice travels very well in any theater, even in those with poor acustics.

[@호박꽃-s8g]

I also just discovered it, so I've been looking for and listening to his videos all day in a rush.

[@HunterZhang-ic4mv]

He is now a famous tenor in China.

[@IJustWantToUseMyName]

Such a beautiful voice. He’s sitting right up among my favorites.

[@stanbimi]

His voice passed the goosebumps test. Beautiful.

Definitely one of the best tenors today, not only for technique but also interpretation. Bravo! Lovely squillo too

Stunning voice. I’d love him to be my Rodolfo!

[@道-p2e]

great choice,

[@道-p2e]

Great lyric, maybe the greatest, how proud and how grand, voice that penetrates, so so touching, his artistry is beyond his age. Speaks non italian nor french, but he memorizes all... 24K Gold inlay, and shining...

[@jcleivaamoros]

Actually he speaks italian, maybe the others too. I watched a master clas video, he was teaching in italian. And yeah...he us trully good.

[@道-p2e]

@@jcleivaamoros I am very sorry, I did not make it clear, I was referring to his starting years, that was probably in 2009, when he was graduate student at Austra, and doing a lot of competitions within a year. He then only spoke 3 sentences, but he memorized the whole thing, 10 operas a year. Was not fortunate at Shanghai at all, eventually curve back to the origin of opera from Japan to Europe!!! a beautiful story not typical of those big "stars" which all from the same school either shanghai or Beijing.

[@williamt3931]

Best Chinese tenor.

[@darlin.kleidoscope]

I think really one of the best in the world currently!!!!

[@adrianacamelia9265]

I heard him live 2 days ago in Florence,he is breathtaking!😊

Now he is an outstanding tenor, i saw him 2 days ago in Puritani 😉 amazing

[@lebonplaisir]

are you going to Maggio Fiorentino to watch Don Pasquale? there's still two of him left.

[@LeeJCander]

I think he's my new favourite Tenor. Effortless. Warm, powerful, tender! Everything I hope my voice will be after more training.

[@Tenorore]

Bravo, congratuletion. Perfecto.

[@alfymiami]

He's very good! Also, I am surprised to see how good his pronunciation is. He shows a lot of study and preparation.

[@道-p2e]

he works tail off, closed door study at austria one year, 12 opera full, without knowing the language, but can sing them all...

[@angelazzarra4956]

He’s fluent!

Mr. Shi , I agree with MyAw, NO hurry to heavy arias, you are still young.

[@tjw2469]

you know it is not his channel right?

[@davidw6025]

Pretty good

[@pachydermo]

Beautiful sound, Great High "C"and sensitive singer. But the true test is how does he sound in a full sized opera house. The ones who make it don't always have the prettiest voices.

[@lovethaiful]

Jerry Hadley and Jhon Ken Nuzzo are my favorite tenors. They are worldwide tenors. After I listened to their voices,I heard this aria. He really amazed me. He is excellent. He perfectly knows how to sing Puccini`s arias. And his beautifull voice is not a asian voice. I wonder how he is tall. I guess he doesn`t have a good frame. I wonder who his teacher is. I`m curious about this tnnor.But I`m a little disappointed at his high note of 3:46 . Anyway,he must be a great tnnor.

[@道-p2e]

He is not tall, not handsome, not gigantic. He just sings. Jerry Hadley be fine tenor. I love Neil Schicoff's ringing voice.

[@varadevaney7588]

Shi's voice thrills me the same way Neil Shicoff's always did! There is something similar in their breathtaking timbre and squillo!

Che gelida manina, se la lasci riscaldar... Cercar che giova? Al buio non si trova. Ma per fortuna, è una notte di luna, E qui la luna... l'abbiamo vicina. Aspetti, signorina, Le dirò con due parole: Chi son? chi son!... e che faccio... Come vivo?... Vuole? Chi so? Sono um poeta. Chi cosa faccio? Scrivo. E come vivo? Vivo. In porvetà mia lieta, Scialo da gran signore... Rime ed inni d'amore. Per sogni e per chimere... E per castelli in aria! L'anima ho milionaria. Talor dal mio forziere... Ruban tutti i gioelli Due ladri: gli ochhi belli. V'entrar com voi pur ora, Ed i miei sogni usati E i bei sogni miei tosto si dileguar! Ma il furto non m'accora, Poichè v'ha preso stanza... la speranza! Or che mi conoscete, parlate voi deh! parlate... Chi siete? Vi piaccia dir?

[@MrSkylark1]

It's recommended that this young tenor,, who is talented, listen to DINO BORGIOLI.. He needs to control the voice without pushing then he would retain his bottom notes.

[@peterjeon8086]

Beautiful voice, Reduce your power on high notes, will be fantastic. THINK, singing MESSA VOCE ! Most of the time, Enrico Caruso doesn't sing with 100% of his power but with massa voce techniques, so he is best tenor among all humans. sing

[@babachlovari4782]

You know if u cant sing the high c in this aria theres no point of singing it the high point of this aria and what makes it complete is singing "LA SPERANZA" with a complete and noticeable high c if u cant do it right dont do it at all

[@chsccy3120]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/maC4ioRri512paM - from 0:45, 9 high Cs.

[@opera888able]

Beautiful lyric tone. This man can sing and act. Would he be "big enough" to sing in perfomance with a full orchestra. He looks like he's about the size of a jockey.

[@Operaandchant90]

If he can sing Puccini and be heard... physical size may not matter.

[@patneavin4480]

Additionally, most orchestral arrangements of this piece are usually pretty light too anyway. So far I have only heard one recording where the orchestra actually drowned out the singer. You'd be surprised. It was actually Plácido Domingo! Now, I can say it wasn't because his voice wasn't strong enough to cut through. I think someone actually screwed up the production and engineering process if you ask me.

[@detectivefiction3701]

Physical size and vocal size don't always correspond. Many of the "great Italian tenors" of the distant past were short men. Plus, as Pat Neavin points out, this isn't a very heavily orchestrated aria.

[@emanff18]

Warren Hamlet hes deffs got the resonance and the focus point to sing over it :)

[@MicahandModesta]

Jose Carreras said something like "You don't sing from your fat, you sing with your muscles"

[@conradsiebert]

I would have to disagree actually. I don't think he will ever be hired to sing Puccini. But by all means, put the famous aria in your recital and sing it with your beautiful voice! Well done!

[@道-p2e]

we will see, do not count his performance at China National Opera, rather watch him singing at Milan and Met Opera, etc. He is not Spinto heavy tenor, perfect for Lyric roles...

[@falkfink]

I agree. Rodolfo as an entire role is far less lyrical than many people seem to think. His voice is propably a better fit for Mozart and Rossini/Donizetti/duce (Rigoletto). But this Aria by itself should absolutely be in his recital repertoire!
