Yes I love it 😀

Thank you 👍

Thanks Jorg, I appreciate your continued support

The timing was interesting, I had a pre booked recording session and Luis wasn't back in Canberra until after it. The recording pre dated the master class by about a week. Based on the master class I would have done it a little different afterwards. The other interesting thing with this is that it was the last song I recorded in the session that included Let it snow, Widmung, Mary did you know and about 4 others (ie great variety). All of the other songs in the session had been done in the recording booth separated from Stuart by this one I was a little tired and struggling to get the vibe, in a song I like singing. We decided to leave the booth and go back to the traditional positioning of recording next to Stuart so we had good line of sight. I think that what is lost in audio quality in not separating the vocal from the piano is offset by the chemistry of the performance.

@@AntonioClassical There could be plenty of other factors (like e.g. being tired after all other recordings), but I got the impression that “magic flying papers” from Ep10 with Mr. Llaneza made your singing style instantly more easy and natural, so the funny method seemed to work. Ancient Roman gods were not almighty hence they could always improve to be even more astonishing 😉

Thanks Patrice, this one was recorded at the end of last year. I haven't recorded any classical this year but hope to do so at the end of the year

@@AntonioClassical Kisses

Thanks Mike

No its the one recording, but just flipped the aspect when making the video for a bit of interest. All my classical work is straight through one recording, we don't stitch together multiple takes.

@@AntonioClassical I hope you keep it that way. It's much more authentic. 😇

@@Toxophilus I will definitely keep going this way, I still have interest in trying to be an operatic principal and that is about one take 😀 but plenty of years of work ahead

​@@AntonioClassicalI can only hope that Juilliard is somewhere along your path 😇

@@Toxophilus I hope somewhere overseas but time will tell 😀

Thanks Sam

😀these sort of coaching interactions are great

🤣 Yes, at least I was picking something up. Sonia (my voice coach) used to make me walk around the room and navigate obstacles

🤣 Don't build me up too much. It's great to have the support that each of you give me. Thanks

Those who really know the subject can criticize (like Mr. Llaneza). I am just your impressed praising troll 🤩

Hi Hin, this was a one off opportunity (through the Spanish embassy) to have a master class with Luis who is a premier Spanish baritone. I haven't been singing classical in Sydney and have only done two x one hour lessons with Sonia this year. I'm about to crank up the classical singing again.

🤣 I wasn't sure exactly what was happening to start with. Sonia (vocal coach) used to do something similar by making me walk around the room negotiating obstacles. Clearly the technique works.

Thanks Bryan, Luis was awesome. In the past Sonia has had me walking around the studio during a session for the same reason to avoid over thinking.

Thanks Jorg, I appreciate you have been here on every clip right from the start 🙏

This was dad > 😆 when he read you calling me a god 😊

Whether I'm going up or down, depends on where I am in the piece, and I follow what the sheet music instructs, so its all written by the composer, they determine whether I go up or down. The sheet music has a vocal line that I follow.

@@AntonioClassical thanks for the clarification

It was a masterclass, so we were working on technique, particularly dynamics. We used a couple of Italian pieces I know and during the class we also pulled in a couple of others I knew. I love Italian, so I have a lot to choose from :) We used Toglietemi la vita ancor and Vittoria mio core and at some stage we were singing Caro mio ben and I think I also threw in some Voi che sapete, which is no longer for my voice type ;)

@@AntonioClassical Cool. I look forward to your new videos.

Thanks Hin. Unfortunately there aren't really any performance opportunities in classical for someone my age. I will do some more recording at some stage though.

Hi Peter thank you

@@AntonioClassical 🙏🙏🙏🙏💯

Nessun dorma... no just jokes, I'm not a tenor. I guess because I like Mozart and I love Italian, so maybe something from Don Giovanni, like Deh, vieni alla finestra I also like Handel and I've sung this one as a soprano, but I can sing this as a baritone - Ombra mai fù I love the work of Dmitri Hvorostovsky and he has a really nice recording of this one. I'm probably going to end up a similar size to him so my vocal coach told me to look at how he performed. Sadly he is no longer with us, but there are a lot of recordings for me to watch.

I can recall a recording of Hvorostovski sining the Deh vieni alla finestra: ruclips.net/video/t2vnjUX_Dns/видео.html, I agree he was an amazing singer. BTW, some time ago I imagined an australian version of the final scene from Don Giovanni. Scenography: coal loader tunnel. Commendatore made up as a giant 6 foot Holconia Murrayensis. Antonio as Don Giovanni - make up unnecessary, the best Don Giovanni of all 😃
