Can u tell if there r teachers who teach about Bel Canto? I love those
things
hahahahahahahahahahaha
The earliest use of the term “bel canto” occurred in late 17th-century
Italy, when it was applied to a sophisticated model of singing that was
evolving there among practitioners of operatic and sacred music. The term
did not become widely used, however, until the middle of the next century,
which was the heyday of opera seria, the static but technically challenging
da capo aria, and the now-extinct castrato voice.
Singer/author John Potter declares in his book Tenor: History of a Voice
(Yale University Press, 2009, p. 31) that: “For much of the 18th century
castrati defined the art of singing; it was the loss of their irrecoverable
skills that in time created the myth of bel canto, a way of singing and
conceptualizing singing that was entirely different from anything that the
world had heard before or would hear again wiki
.”In a narrower application, the term “bel canto” is sometimes attached
exclusively to Italian opera of the time of Gioachino Rossini (1792–1868),
Vincenzo Bellini (1801–1835) and Gaetano Donizetti (1797–1848). These three
composers wrote bravura works for the stage during what musicologists call
the bel canto era, which lasted approximately from 1805 to 1840. wiki
The bel canto era preserved many of the Baroque’s musical values, although
such characteristic forms as opera seria and the da capo aria did not
survive the passing of the 18th century. Changing tastes and social
standards also killed off the operatic castrato voice and ensured the
concomitant rise to singing supremacy of the prima donna soprano and the
virtuoso tenor. (The last important opera role for a castrato was written
in 1824 by Giacomo Meyerbeer [1791-1864]. wiki
that dangerously incompetent person is ,……without a single doubt,..
you.
thank you for uploading.
Richard Bonynge is a genius. He summarizes centuries of singing in a few
words: I suppose most people know nowadays that bel canto means beautiful
singing. But of course that is only the beginning of it. The bel canto era
began with the great singers in the middle of the, wel I suppose in the
middle of the 17th century it started to begin, but it flourished and
blossomed in the middle of the 18th century, in the early part of the 18th
century, when the early castrati were at their peak.
These were of course the artificial male singers who had this
extraordinary, powerful soprano and mezzosoprano voices, which we don’t
have anymore. I’m happy to say rather. Bel canto became a high cult in the
early 19th century. And of course, it remained this. It’s a style of
singing. It’s a very elegant way of singing. It’s a way that is very hard
to explain in words what it is. A concert of great singing, of great
singers can demonstrate more than any written word or any spoken word.
It takes a lifetime to learn about. It takes a lifetime to even begin to
sing the real bel canto. It’s something that many people desire, many
people want it. Most people love it when they hear it. Very few people find
out how to do it. One of the most important things is the legato singing.
And how does one go about singing legato? You do this by joining the tones,
uniting the tones.
And he finally concludes: And we do this mainly by scales. I suppose the
hear of bel canto must be the real cantilenas, the long flowing melodies.
Do you know the year of this recording?
alguien sabe como se llama la ultima aria que canta pavarotti¡????? en este
video 😀
What year is this?
Is there anyone who knows what Pavarotti was speaking about during the 1st
minute of this video. It is so poorly edited that I cannot gather what the
previous moments are about. He talks about a “mucus sound”. I would assume
he’s speaking about placement, but am not sure
I love this so much. He teach it as my teacher does. I’m so sad there is
not so many people who can sing bel canto. Sometimes it’s more yelling than
singing. I really want to learn a feel it all the ways i can. Bel canto
must survive!
i grandi!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH!!!! JUST HAD A REVELATION!!! So cantar in Spanish is to
sing and bonita is beautiful. The ‘I’ conjugation for cantar is canto which
means I sing. So bonita canto would be beautiful in Spanish but translate
that to Italian and you get Bel Canto- Beautiful singing. OOOOOHHHH BABY! I
FEEL LIKE SHERLOCK HOLMES
He is so funny R.I.P Luciano . We love you forever .
Thanks so much for posting!
I love every word Luciano Pavarotti says … so true! A real maestro of his
art ! I never forget ’til I die ! Thank you Luciano – you gave so much
passion and truth !
how any human can dislike this? must be justin bieber fans?
People disliked this because it didn’t show them exactly how to sing Bel
Canto.
as pessoas sevalon muintu sobre o grandismus Pavarotti e que elles valun e
poucu porque as pallavras nao dar pra faser as respostas porque Pavarotti e
mais grande de todus as palavras e letras juntos ….. Sarkis Matta.
Bel canto is classical way of singing riffs and runs including scales. Its
a beautiful and difficult way to sing
MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!!!!!
he was speaking about never singin in the jaw, in the mouth, that covers
the sound, makes it thick tp the listener, i think his meaning of “mucus
sound”. Truly, the real bel canto is entirely out of the mouth, placed much
higher, resonating around the third eye! or higher…
Quién se anima a subtitular éstos videos en español? Son tan ricos!
This is just frivolous thanks for putting it on
6:37
How to sing belcanto … you just need a f””ing voice and afterwards you
can sing anything you imagine without so many explanations. What the heck?!
Sutherland, Pavarotti.. who are the other two?
No
3:40 is a perfect example of breath and passaggio. The voice is on the
breath and nothing is blocking it so the the voice turns (or covers) on the
F. This is something Domingo, Carreras or DiStefano could never do.
I really don’t think Pavarotti is a good example of Bel Canto singing.
6:21 What is Pavarotti singing?
Where can I find the rest of this wonderful footage?
Feb 2016. Ha HA,! Belcanto? Who really cares?? When the Maistro Pavarotti
sang everyone listened Bravo and thank you for posting this amusing video!!
Learning to sing takes a very long time, but anyone can do it. Your vary is the measure of pitches you can sing between your lowest and highest notes.
