I'm sorry,
I guess I didn't phrase my question as well as I should. I am now realizing the
specific type of tenor voice that I am, and have started working on appropriate
repertoire. As my teacher said, "my voice should sound very nice doing Mozart."
Donizetti is another composer that I should be very comfortable singing as well.
Maybe I'll be able to sing a few aria's like Che gelida manina, or recondita
armonia (eventually) but I doubt I'll ever be able to do the role as a whole.
In my limited understanding of the professional world I was under the impression
that the sweeter tenor voices were being overlooked in favor of the more
dramatic voices. The specific quality of my voice does nothing to diminish my
desire to sing a beautiful line (even if it were to only be heard in my house
:O). To sing a line where the composers thoughts get conveyed is my goal. This
past week my top finally started coming into its own. When I stopped belting and
quit trying to make a sound, the sound was there.
Thank you Alan for enlightening me.
Tenore Lirico
I guess I don't understand the question here. There are lots of nice lyric
tenors who have and still do sing Mozart/Donizetti. I don't think that anyone
would qualify them otherwise. Just off the top of my head:
Juan Diego Flores, Marcello Alvarez, Paul Groves, Richard Croft.
Remember that this kind of a voice can also sing light Verdi roles as
well, witness the career of Alfredo Kraus
