Yesterday, October 22, 2023, Heard Kang sing Rudolfo in the Toronto Opera Company production of La Boheme. Incredibly beautiful voice, wonderful voice production, totally thrilling performance, and now my most favourite lyric tenor. Star quality with a wonderful career ahead of him.
I stumbled, joyfully, on this performance tonight. It is fabulous, convincing, compelling, moving. And it belongs in the company of the great tenors of the past who have sung this iconic aria. A secret weapon that helps to empower this interpretation: Wang's great smile which reinforces the tenderness of the scene.
Just heard your voice for the first time and absolutely love it!!!! I would love to hear you sing Uma Furtiva Lagrima..... pretty please.... thank you for your wonderful voice!!!
Bravo! You make singing this difficult music seem easy. I hope to be at your Metropolitan Opera recital tonight: Monday, July 11, 2016, 7 pm; Socrates Sculpture Park, Queens, New York City Kang Wang, tenor; Michelle Bradley, soprano; Yunpeng Wang, baritone; Dan Saunders, pianist
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 son? Chi son? Sono un poeta Che cosa faccio? Scrivo E come vivo? Vivo In povertà 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 occhi 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 Poiché, poiché v'ha preso stanza, la speranza Or che mi conoscete, parlate voi, deh parlate Chi siete? Vi piaccia dir?
He has an incredible beautiful lyric voice yet his technique is completely hiding it! So nasal, tongue blocking pharynx, poor chest voice. So sad because his voice is so beautiful
Lee Cander you don’t hear how the vowels are muffled and the tongue is also blocking the sound...? You don’t hear that Kermit the frog like undertone in his singing? It’s very obvious. Anyway he has an exceptionally beautiful voice, but the real sound can’t come through
I guess I can hear that kermit esque sound...not all the way through but certainly in certain parts. Similar with the over use of the tongue I guess. His voice is still wonderful.
@Lee Cander it is wonderful, he has a great instrument but the real beautiful sound nor size can come out. The tongue is actually one of the most major elements that opens and frees the sound and shows the crystal clear timbre and full size of the voice. The back of the tongue is actually literally the front of the throat, so when people talk of opening the throat, the major meaning behind this is getting the tongue forward so the sound can come out properly, but in what he’s doin with the tongue, the back of the tongue goes down into the throat and blocks the sound and you get a muffled Kermit sound. It’s most noticeable at 1:06 but it’s throughout his entire singing. When it’s blocking the sound like this it doesn’t show near the true beauty of it, same with the soft palate. When the soft palate is too low, too much of the resonance goes to the nose and the vowel becomes less beautiful and clear and more muffled. He goes more nasal on higher pitches which is like a shortcut but it muffled the voice, and he is nasal throughout. Here’s an example of better technique, you hear the sound is much stronger clearer and resonant and free. I’m not detracting from his talent at all. He’s doing many things really well, but unfortunately when you have things muffling and blocking the sound it doesn’t allow the true voice to come through ruclips.net/video/AjX0d_LNJfg/видео.html Here he is in his prime. Notice the voice is MUCH MUCH clearer, stronger, has more size richness and darkness and efficiency. Much stronger chiaroscuro. The tongue blocking and nasal sound doesn’t allow true chiaroscuro like this to happen; it is impossible to sing with correct darkness and nasal at the same time because it kills the low harmonics ruclips.net/video/wW3fw0WiFfw/видео.html
Not even close. Even Corelli was more a lyric spinto and this mans voice is nowhere close to that intensity. He is an underdeveloped lyric voice, possibly a lyric leggiero as someone already pointed out. He is nasal and his tongue is blocking the sound and the voice is not yet developed. Behind that is a very beautiful voice. He is lucky. His interpretation could be better in my opinion. Corelli: at 31:00 ruclips.net/video/GAEukU93gbE/видео.html

Not only is his high c impressive, but his voice and performance are also amazing
Holy crap! Effortless, gorgeous. So musical he doesn’t even need the accompanist. Bravo.
Bravo Mr. Kang Wang! Awesome performance. Please don’t let this be the last time we will hear from you! 👏👏👏

Lo masculino del aria bien representado en tu voz
好想问亢叔当年是怎么练的
亢叔真厉害 目标啊
우와~
Amazing voice, if only he took a little more time over the phrasing, it is just a little rushed
ein heller Stern im Tenorhimmel nach Pavarotti und das ist ein Chinese...
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 son? Chi son?
Sono un poeta
Che cosa faccio? Scrivo
E come vivo? Vivo
In povertà 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 occhi 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
Poiché, poiché v'ha preso stanza, la speranza
Or che mi conoscete, parlate voi, deh parlate
Chi siete?
Vi piaccia dir?
牛逼！
vocalità poco adatta a questo repertorio .
questa è la mia modesta opinione .
il vecchio .
He has an incredible beautiful lyric voice yet his technique is completely hiding it! So nasal, tongue blocking pharynx, poor chest voice. So sad because his voice is so beautiful
I didn't find him particularly nasal?
nasal like caught cold

Beautiful voice but could use some passion/soul. (just keeping it real)
too bad that pianist didn't let you take your time haha. the singer is the one leading
这个钢琴伴奏这么弹，唱歌的要累死，一点也不托，不推。
Where the fxCK have you been hiding?!! 😜Brilliantly done! Marry me please ❤️❤️❤️
Haha.... Thank you! :)
有spinto的潜质。
No
Lirico....and maybe Lirico leggero.....
Not even close. Even Corelli was more a lyric spinto and this mans voice is nowhere close to that intensity.

Beautiful voice, but I feel like you have not realized your full potential. Still a great performance though.
Voce dura, 'espressione zero. Non mi piace affatto.
