Opera Series - Celestina Boninsegna - Full Vocal Range (A3-C♯6)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- Celestina possessed a rich lirico-spinto soprano voice that spanned from a fully equalized bottom A to a high C♯. However, it's evident from her recordings that the transitions within this range were not always perfectly controlled, particularly in more florid musical passages. Despite this, her voice strongly embodies the veristic school with a subtle touch of bel canto. Her singing carries a natural timbre, and she judiciously employs her vibrato, avoiding any excessive use.
What truly stands out for me in her performances is the remarkable temperament she displays in certain recordings. It's quite unusual to hear Verdi's compositions interpreted in this manner, even among the best of the old-school singers.

I really enjoy her voice! The clarity of her enunciation, timbre, and intonation even on these old recordings is simply spellbinding. Though I do agree that the chest voice was a touch forceful at times and not always evenly blended, there were many moments in this video where she very beautifully navigated her passagio, and the sound of her voice in a live setting must have been thrilling.
It's very accurate the full episode of the "Opera Series"! You have to research all the ancient material (in some cases) by a singer and it's also useful to bring to light not well-known singers.
As for Celestina Boninsegna, she had big chest voice and I liked her head voice quality above A5, where she seemed to be comfortable. She could probably have gone at least a couple of semitones lower the A3 and higher the C#6 ☺
I like how she has kind of a combination of brightness and "cheerfulness" with some "heft" and chest voice. Makes her sound ultra-feminine to me, and it makes her sound very good in my opinion.
Beautiful A3❤️
i think she had a pretty much bigger range, but didn't used it, also i love her use of chest voice that high it's quite impressive and exciting
According to a quote I found she had F to E♭.
@@KajiVocalsyes, it was obvious, specially in her low notes the sound and resonance is very rich, thanks for that information Kaji, i loved this video❤️
I really love that fluttery quality and it's not too fluttery
Its well balanced 🤧
What fluttery quality..?
@@KajiVocals sorry I meant fluttery vibrato
@adah6759 I don’t hear a fluttery vibrato.
One of the best!
Boninsegna wasn't a lirico spinto, but full dramatic soprano with an insane vocal power. Caruso was mad when he had to sing with her, because he couldn't hear his own voice over hers. I believe the highest note she sang live on stage was high D.
Her tessitura, density of the voice along with what several other people have said was that she was a spinto. I’m not going to use what Caruso said what there has been more than one account that would say something else, moreover I would disagree with it. And I have heard all of her records, as showcased. In fact early in training Boninsegna was mistaken for a lyric coloratura 🙂
@@KajiVocals Almost everyone, who actually heard her live, considered her a dramatic soprano. All the period critiques, newspaper articles, reviews etc. are publicly available in archives. She was considered a dramatic soprano already at her debut. Even her final assessment she received at graduation states that she was a dramatic soprano. So teachers, critics, conductors etc. agreed, that she was a dramatic soprano. If Boninsegna was a lirico spinto by her tessitura, then Callas was a light lyric coloratura.
That chest voice is a weapon!!
Wow!
I was wondering could you do one of these with Betty wright???
very interesting use of chest voice. Unashamed to punch them chest notes out..
Yes. While sometimes certainly inappropriate, it is a good example to showcase regardless.
@@KajiVocals I am a huge fanatic for chest voice, so I do not find it inappropriate, in fact I am obsessed with her now
In some roles and pieces it is inappropriate. You have to always pay attention to the dynamic markings in the score.
@@KajiVocals😒😒😒
@@mlaygo What’s the problem?
How do you feel about Andrea Bocelli?
Lovely repertoire of songs, really overrated singer.
@@KajiVocals Okay what's his voice type? A full-lyric tenor?
@@bradycall1889 Heavier tenor who sings very thin.
@@KajiVocals So like a dramatic/spinto tenor with bad technique?
