Ugo Donarelli – Eri tu [Un ballo in maschera] - 1922 (correct pitch)

Ugo Donarelli Dobici (1888—Feb 17, 1962). Studied with Antonio Cotogni at Santa Cecilia in Rome. Early career in the provincial theaters of Italy. Circa 1920 toured South America as part of company under Serafin. While singing in London in the early 1920s, he made a number of solo discs (as well as some duets with tenor Nicolas Fusati) under the Velvet Face series of J.E. Hough's Edison Bell Company.

An anti-fascist, he left Mussolini's Italy, relocating to Madrid, Spain, where in October 1934 he founded Fono España, the first studio to produce Spanish-language voice dubbing of Fox/Paramount/Warner Bros. and other Hollywood films. Here and at Estudios Chamartín he worked the rest of his life as a technical director of sound, editing, synchronization and the like.

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.
