    Those moments when the orchestra goes silent and the singer starts to sing and it feels like sound of instruments gradually turns into the sound of voice - it's pure magic. Brilliant! What a hard work.

      @Jemtheflute 4 года назад +10

      @@c.g.marseille4510 take rather the phrase I wrote, "core tone production". The performer's basic, general way of making a sound; the core, essence or centre of their sound. This singer doesn't seem to produce sound without vibrato - it is an integral (though doubtless chosen/trained thus) part of his way of generating a tone. I prefer singers and players whose core sound is "straight" and who only apply vibrato selectively and in varied ways.

    Vivaldi, Purcell, and other composers of that generation knew what bitter cold was like (the winter of 1709 in Europe was colder than any one since and killed many). The period instruments and this countertenor are great at conveying that.
    "ingombra" is an interesting verb choice too. I don't even know if Italians still use that word.
