Largo al factotum in English? Yeah, when dramatic baritone Cornell MacNeil sings it! Live, 1968

Betcha never thought you'd hear this! In a 1968 recital, America's monster baritone whips right through an aria that singers with half his voice have difficulty managing. Flexible and agile in the fioritura (right through high A), crystal clear in enunciation, wonderful variations in timbre, and of course those big, sparkling high Gs. No, Cornell MacNeil never sang a full Barbiere di Siviglia at the Met, but judging from this recording, it's safe to say he would've been among the very best. ..................................... This channel is primarily about vocal emission—aural examples of basically correct singing, correct impostazione—chiaroscuro, vowel clarity, firm and centered pitch, correct vibrato action, absence of throatiness or thickness, sounds free from constriction and from the acoustic noise that accompanies it—with occasional video examples that demonstrate what the body, face, mouth, jaw, and tongue look like when used with correct impostazione—the vocal emission of the one and only Italian school.
