Hermann Jadlowker - Ah! sì ben mio WITH TRILLS! [Il trovatore] - 1915

I usually try only to share recordings that have never been uploaded to YouTube before, but sometimes a performance is just too exemplary not to. There are maybe only two or three recordings of this aria where the tenor even attempts the trills. A couple of them are decent, but Jadlowker is extraterrestrial here.

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.

Caveat: I'm biased in favor of baritones and baritone literature, but if you want to learn about and listen to all the greatest singers in the old-school tradition, explore this spreadsheet (voice parts are separated by tabs): https://bit.ly/2W4qmE3
