If Rossini hated loud high notes, maybe a tenor that
should sing Rossini, should not be trained to sing
high notes very loud? The same could be true for many
other pre-Verism composers of course.>>
I second that! Maybe we could create a sort of WWF for light tenors? ;-)
Singers like Alagna might be as generous as to donate 10% of their fees in
order that younger singers don't reproduce their own mistakes? :-(
