DESCRIPTION:
at Hollywood Bowl Live (1951) Opening.

The reason of posting this video is because I don´t know why, where or who invented voice categories such as Mozartian tenor, Oratorio tenor like if there really exist such kind of voice. COmposers wrote oratorios or operas saying, for example: Otello (Tenor) and not tenor lirico spinto or dramatico, Iago (Bariton) not dramatic bariton, bariton martin or liric bariton. I think that some people choose to sing a repertory often than others or only a kind because their natural abilities or technique level. All this , to me, point just in one direction: lack of really voice teachers.

I really don´t like voices that seems to came from, somewhere... but not from a man. It is a pleasure to me listen to a male sound, full of color and, specially, with all the voice without being afraid to be "out of style" . For example the Alfredo Kraus version of cosi fan tutte, Gösta Winbergh singing Mozart and oratorio or even Luciano Pavarotti´s version of Idomeneo. In this case of Tucker singing this, is the same to me. This is a meal with salt... i do prefer it always than a meal without salt. Of course a singer must respect the composer´s work but, ¿when singing become a fact of "style" (reason) and not a fact of soul (Humanity)? I belive that this is a sound of a hero... I feel the voice not of a singer but of a man. Sorry but my bad english and Enjoy the audio, if you can.
