I was wondering about the seating as well. Pav's sitting with his back to Horne, rather rudely elbowing her out of his conversation, and advancing on Sutherland in a proprietary way, it looks to me, considering her husband is sitting right there. Perhaps they all started out facing the camera and ended up turned to face Boyning to address him? Or are just full of drink and propping one another up?

shure that this is Pavarotti?!

when horne did the crescendo and decrescendo at around 6:03, there was just something about the sound so subtle and simple, yet incredibly eligent....such a voice

Eso no es messa di voce, sino mezza voce y a parte lo que hace la soprano es un filado, pero no un messa di voce Lo que decía Pavarotti es lo correcto.

Marchesi? Surely not Marchesino, the castrato? He was late 18th century, early 19th century. If so, that must've been an old pupil. Emma Calvé took a lesson or two from Domenico Mustafa the last of the truly great male soprani.

Horne's sound at 6:16 is stunning. Thanks for these great clips - what a treat!

Okay they are all right, BUT WHY THE HELL ARE THEY SITTING in each others laps! What is SLS?? Its a method brought by Seth Riggs. A lot of debates on it being the right wrong approach. I personally think you can not sing with full voice. It turns your falestto into a stronger falsetto and he calls it the mix.

These are two kinds of interpretation. Floritura is the way to arpeggiate and coloratura have to do with the entonation of the singing.
