My B4 and C5 sound like this. A lot of people said it was just falsetto, so I asked them to do what they thought they heard, in their falsetto. Never heard from them again. :D
Would rather listen to young Pavarotti for his power. He said he learned to yell first, then sing. I'm not sure if he was the loudest tenor, but he sure sounded like a beast. Just listen to his Ah! Mes Ami. Most tenors are worn out, sounding threadbare, 2/3rds of the way through, then comes the C's. He had stamina and power, and another gear most singers don't have. I think he drew from his days as a phys-ed instructor. Singing is an athletic event.
Kraus is great but he is so lyric.. he reminds me of Lemeshev (not in this compilation). Really impeccable technique, and so easy like you say. Look up Lemeshev's Parmi Veder Le Lagrime for comparison... effortless high notes that are very delicate and lyric (but still very exciting and properly placed). In this I thought Valente and Lauri-Volpi were tops. I usually rank Tucker really high but this wasn't one of my favorite clips of his (although he does some really nice singing on that same TV appearance if you look it up).
I was glad to encounter my fellow countrymen Ramón Vargas and Rolando Villazón in the list. All are beautiful and mesmerizing to hear, but Pavarotti is in a heavenly level alltogether
Lauri-Volpi was in his prime while in his youth. That’s not always the case with singers, but certainly applies for him. His high notes rank way up there with Corelli for a tremendously ringing squillo that could blow the roof off the house, which is not as evident in recorded sound.
@@bodiloto Para mi Caruso fué el Plácido Domingo actual, un tenor muy mediático que manejaba los teatros y que intentaba vetar a sus competidores. En Madrid fracasó en la Traviata y en Napoles en Elíxir, una de sus supuestas óperas emblemáticas. Existieron mejores tenores en su época pero como dije menos mediáticos. Fleta fué único como algún otro entre los cuales incluyo a Kraus.
It's really hard to make a ranking on a technical level, because most of them are damn good! But when it comes to personal taste Kraus is absolutely my man!
Pavarotti the perfectionist. My favorite classical tenor. Kraus, Corelli, Villazon, and Bjorling are close seconds. I'd add Lanza to this list as he shows so much passion.
First off, kudos for putting this together . You have to consider , the quality of the recordings . These guys didn't all go into the studio together. Im a Corelli and Del Monaco fan. I had some recordings of Bjorling from the late 50s near the end of his life , far richer voice than the 40s recordings . You have to consider the aria , the era ,and the age of the man also .
Corelli sang a Nessun Dorma for an opera arias album where he held the high B for eight seconds. I love the Lanza selection. Can we have Che Gelida Manina sung in the key it is supposed to be sung?
Comparing here is skewed by the quality of the recordings, age of the singers when the recordings were made and the the fact that your comparing different types of tenors, lyric, spinto, and dramatic. Furthermore, some of the tenors here are pop-opera singers verses actual opera tenors. The only way to compare is to listen to live non amplified voices with full orchestra at the back of an opera house singing the same aira. The question then becomes what type of tenor voice do you prefer, the lighter lyric voice of a tenor like Bjoerling or Pavarotti verses the more robust voice of spinto like Corelli or Lanza or the dramatic voice of Del Monaco? Each type of voice is suited to particular roles. Because I prefer a more powerful tenor voice that is equally adept in both the higher, middle and lower ranges of a tenor voice I’m more partial to Corelli and Lanza who have a more richer chest voice.
Excuse me, but if you cannot hear the chiaroscuro in old singers like del Monaco's or Lauri-Volpi's or Corelli's voice, then you miss the point. The point is not to hit the note and hold it forever, but to make it sound effortless and not overly bright, which is the case with so many modern singers. They sound like boys in a choir when they hit anything above G.
Yeah it sounds effortless but it's not they are lifting so much from their chest. These notes really dont have to be done so much. But it's funny to watch
There is a very beautiful video about Caruso, on RUclips. He sings "mi pare Di udire ancora" (the same singed here by kraus). Two records, in 1904 and 1909, if I remember correctly. With an incredible improvement on the "mezza voce" technique.
Mario Lanza had a warmth and colour to his voice that set him apart. So did Pavarotti and some of the others but some can hit the note but not your heart.
This was a fabulous video. My all time favorite tenor is the incomparable Franco Corelli. He was a spin to tenor with a deeper sound that was truly unique. His rendition of “Nessum Dorma” is the best ever in my opinion, although Pavorotti’s version is awfully hard to beat also. The contemporary tenor I really like is Jonas Kaufman. He has a deep resonance in his voice quite a bit like Corelli’s. His show stopping aria near the climax of “Werther” which is available on You Tube is breathtakingly beautiful.
Fabulous compilation which must have taken a lot of research and work. Thanks for featuring many great tenors I have never seen before. Also thanks for including Jonathan Antoine who is for me the TOP of the heap because of the seeming natural ease with which he hits those high notes while most other tenors look like they are giving birth or passing a kidney stone.
Placido domingo... what a voice! Di stefano is my personal choise. His voice have a touch of himself, i imagine. Jussi have that perfection i use to hate, but now love. So many great voices! Thank you. I thought it was Gedda singing in the intro, i guess i heard wrong.
Juan Diego Florez... That wasn’t the best version of his high B but it’s ridiculous nonetheless. I’m just astounded at the amount of control he has and how effortless he makes it look/sound
Have you heard him live? I have. I mean, he was there, and I may have heard something like a voice coming from the scene... That's for saying that he can't be considered as a great singer.
Agree with DiomedesDioscuro and Creutzfeldt Jakob. Without his body mic, you can't hear him past the second row in orchestra seating, even without the orchestra. Yes, DiomedesDioscuro, it's more of a boy's voice than a man's. For great singing, listen to some of the tenor greats on this video!
Glen Campbell Understood. Perhaps, clips of 19 year old Antoine being compared with singers twice his age shouldn’t be included in these types of videos. Have a great day. And where ever you are in the world, may you and your family be safe from this nasty virus
Natürlich fehlt Wunderlich auffällig, aber in dieser Übung geht es um hohe Töne, nicht unbedingt um kultivierten Gesang. Kraus ausgenommen. Pssst ... die meisten Leute kennen den Unterschied nicht,
La verdad, llegué a ésta página de casualidad. El clásico Pavarotti que uno está acostumbrado... no corta tan abruptamente su entonación... hay otros que llegan a la potencia y nota con tono...pero parece que se quedan sin aire. Es buenísimo. No conocía que hubieron tantos excelentes intérpretes y divos reales
Can't find my post replying to Grace Navarro, which responded to her comment that Pavarotti's voice has so much squillo. I said I believe she is correct. A major reason why his voice is so beautiful, it is said.
I can't imagine why you rate Lauri Volpi so poorly, he's widely said to have had possibly the best tenor high notes of all time and could sing them very gently sweetly and very powerfully (as here) or anything in between. He was also known for his large range - in his prime he was famous for his powerful top Es.
A voz humana é tão estupenda,que possui a capacidade de embalar a nossa alma através da atmosfera majestosa que cria, a partir das notas musicais. Música é o murmúrio que o nosso espírito emite,quando falta-nos a percepção lógica. Bravo, bravíssimo!

Aragall in his prime was the greatest tenor. Luciano Pavarotti told me and it is on video that he considered Jaume Aragall to have the finest tenor voice. Many of this list did not have beautiful voices and many produce the ugliest of sounds. Domingo was a pushed up baritone.
Potts and Antoine don't belong here. The titles clearly says "Opera Singers" and they have never sung an Opera before. Putting on a concert in a tux is not remotely the same thing as singing a full Opera.

As a baritone, I feel that I have nothing to show off, baritones pls like so I don't feel myself worthless😢
Son Yazar every voice type is special 🥺
I prefer Baritones to all other male voices. The MOST BEAUTIFUL VOICE AND THE MOST DIFFICULT TO MASTER AT THE SAME TIME. No kidding!
Being a baritone is the worst. It’s basically saying you’re not good at high or low notes.
There are videos showing off high notes by baritones (from A4 to D5 by some). And there are certainly impressive A2s, G2s or F2s by baritones.
Freddie Mercury was for sure a Baritone
Björling's velvety voice is out of this world.
Corelli's power is way above all.
Pavarotti's delivery is unique.
Corelli's has been played a 1/2 step to high.
Agree with you regarding Bjorling, such a beautiful tone, consistent throughout his range, combined with excellent technique
Pavarotti sounded so bright and so damn resonant. Loved it
Pavarotti jajaja this sound is false.

Jussi Björling is technically perfect. I never loved his interpretations, but his technique was superb.
Would rather listen to young Pavarotti for his power. He said he learned to yell first, then sing. I'm not sure if he was the loudest tenor, but he sure sounded like a beast. Just listen to his Ah! Mes Ami. Most tenors are worn out, sounding threadbare, 2/3rds of the way through, then comes the C's. He had stamina and power, and another gear most singers don't have. I think he drew from his days as a phys-ed instructor. Singing is an athletic event.
Jussi has the silvery voice of a choirboy but as a tenor. It is completely angelic. His high notes are EFFORTLESS.
I saw Alfredo Kraus at Covent Garden in the 1970's in Faust, with Freni and Ghiarov. He was so smooth, it was amazing.
Alfredo Kraus at 3:13 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Alfredo Kraus .... simply takes my breath away ... such nuance and subtlety
There is something in Pavarotti's voice that is still unmatched... just magical
Like a Master
The last meistersinger !!!
Sounds like an ancient roman semi-god. I imagine him singing with a tunic, in a green hill, surrounded by birds and squirrels 😆
His secret must be tons of italian pasta with tucco aplenty
@@alerey4363 Con tuco a pleno ? Jajaja
Kraus made me not notice it was a B4. Just seems so simple for him.
What a perfect singing technique
exactly, effortless, beautiful
From my perspective, Alfredo Kraus was the best one, not because his voice, but because his technique.
Krauss was the number one.
Kraus is great but he is so lyric.. he reminds me of Lemeshev (not in this compilation). Really impeccable technique, and so easy like you say. Look up Lemeshev's Parmi Veder Le Lagrime for comparison... effortless high notes that are very delicate and lyric (but still very exciting and properly placed). In this I thought Valente and Lauri-Volpi were tops. I usually rank Tucker really high but this wasn't one of my favorite clips of his (although he does some really nice singing on that same TV appearance if you look it up).
All the tenors were brilliant I would not choose because I loved each and every man’s voice
Veronica McCarrison - My sentiments exactly. I wouldn't rank them; each has his spot and all just magnificent.
I was glad to encounter my fellow countrymen Ramón Vargas and Rolando Villazón in the list. All are beautiful and mesmerizing to hear, but Pavarotti is in a heavenly level alltogether
Lauri-Volpi was in his prime while in his youth. That’s not always the case with singers, but certainly applies for him. His high notes rank way up there with Corelli for a tremendously ringing squillo that could blow the roof off the house, which is not as evident in recorded sound.
I'm far from an expert on opera but Kraus and Corelli hit the note so fluidly and casually, if you will, they were the stand out perfosnces for me
One has a little bit more or less than the other. Let's acclaim them all for their great opera voices. They enrich our world.
Not Potts and Bocelli neither.
i’m a bass baritone and this scared me even more because i have to sing a B4 in the musical i’m doing fml fml fml
Can you reach it?
JrPie Videos no but falsetto is my best friend
@@SolasOW I feel you man. Good luck on the musical!
How u gonna do that ?
I will admit I am a tenor so I cant relate but why would you audition for a part that’s difficult for u to sing ? 🤔

Corelli and MDM are the best. How can Kaufmann, Brownlee, Alagna, Florez, Calleja and Bocelli be better than MDM?
Kraus made it sound like music, and not like an effort, so therefore. Obviously all of them out of context and thus impossible to jugde 'objectively'.
Mario Lanza, the best all the way, no argument.
Excellent thanks! My favorites are Lanza, Pavarotti and Bjorling.
In my opinion, Alfredo Kraus the best one!

That will be great coz an alto
Björing’s voice is a blend of all tenor voices mixed together. His Nessun Dorma is beyond this world. Pavarotti stands on his own.
Franco Corelli is Prince Calaf. And with that I said everything. Franco Corelli is the best spinto tenor of the 20th century.
No, I mean no one can touch Bjorling. As well as Pavarotti. I knew from a child that Jjorling was it, pure perfection.
A work of art! One can appreciate the work that it took to create this video. Exquisitely done!
It's really hard to make a ranking on a technical level, because most of them are damn good!
But when it comes to personal taste Kraus is absolutely my man!
Pavarotti the perfectionist. My favorite classical tenor. Kraus, Corelli, Villazon, and Bjorling are close seconds. I'd add Lanza to this list as he shows so much passion.
Precisamente Pavarotti no era muy perfeccionista.

Great List of Great Tenors! TY!

I just love lauri volpi in that way. He seems so effortless on his c and c#s, and D's. And he was huge.
Alex Martya you got the point! The high B of Del Monaco for GLV was the best he ever heard: wide, powerful, solid, dark, stentorian.
We can argue about how good these singers are in general but in terms of these clips, lauri-volpi definitely deserves top 5 if not top 3
Thank you.
Yeah it sounds effortless but it's not they are lifting so much from their chest. These notes really dont have to be done so much. But it's funny to watch
Where is Enrico Caruso?
I agree
I agree, also. And Gigli.... where the hell is BENIAMINO GIGLI????
On the cemetery.
He didn't make many videos.

Pavarotti is in a league of his own. His tone, voice placement and ability to sustain the high note is phenomenal. All the singers were outstanding.
Actually there are lots of better tenors.
Perfect balance betwin power an softeness. He is acting as well as he is singing that's his secret so... I think you re right.

Aragall in his prime was the greatest tenor. Luciano Pavarotti told me and it is on video that he considered Jaume Aragall to have the finest tenor voice. Many of this list did not have beautiful voices and many produce the ugliest of sounds. Domingo was a pushed up baritone.
Kraus, Gedda, Pavarotti
Sergio Soto
Lauri-Volpi,Björling,Corelli,Del Monaco,Tucker...

Potts and Antoine don't belong here. The titles clearly says "Opera Singers" and they have never sung an Opera before. Putting on a concert in a tux is not remotely the same thing as singing a full Opera.
Great to listen to this favourite was Domingo
