Wish I had known about the history of "bari-tenor", a long time ago! My voice was always really of this fach, but didn't know it even existed! So first I sang as a bright baritone, but after college switched to "heavier" tenor. But neither was really right. Now I'm 66 years old, so too late! Glad that Michael Spyres is re-claiming (re-discovering) this lost art!! (Makes me think of a male Maria Callas!) CONGRATULATIONS!!

@Pato WSV Actually, I never lost my voice, as I am still regularly singing. And my technique was always fine, as I was trained with the old Bel Canto schooling. I just primarily fell put of practice after I got married, and never really picked it up again. However, I still sing (and conduct) the Church choir, where I normally sing tenor, but sometimes switch to bass as needed. So I still have the full range to sing both in that setting. Just not opera any more.

its actually easy to hear, its G4/G#4 he is a pretty a standard tenor vocally, he just a very strong connection in the lower notes and that is all to do with his incredible technique but he is a tenor. TO add, he is pretty much singing in lower part of his this whole aria, he is not even touching or going into the upper parts of the voice which is only hear in the very highest tenor music. He does switch to falsetto a couple times to bring a new quality but his notes up to Eb5 are all full and connected, he just has alot of options vocally, similar to Dimash but he is still a tenor nonetheless.

In all healthy human voices (all genders) the passaggio, the register break, is located between E4 and F4 - when ascending, that's where the arytenoid muscle/AT muscle (chest voice) can't be pushed any higher on it's own, forcing the vocal folds of the untrained voice to abruptly switch over to the crichothyroid muscle/CT muscle (falsetto). Bridging the register break is a matter of coordinating the two muscle groups seamlessly, by, introducing the CT muscle about a fifth before the break, and gradually let it work more towards the closer to the break you get. Above the brake the AT muscle leaves more and more of the work to the CT muscle. So the goal is to have both AT and CT muscles working together in varying degrees, more or less throughout the whole vocal range so that the accomplished singer can control the coordination, both for singing different notes, but also for singing louder and softer. E.g. a fortissimo D4 for, let's say, tenor, uses mostly TA (chest) but always supported by some CT (falsetto); and when the tenor does a diminuendo to pianissimo, they effectively gradually shift to mostly CT, supported by some TA. So the notion of different fachs having different passaggi, isn't necessarily incorrect, but it's only a small part of what's really happening. The true difference between different fachs here is how early they need to introduce the CT muscle when ascending and where the switch to CT dominated coordination needs to be. In addition, the shifting point is dynamic and moves slightly, depending on what dynamic you are singing and what vowel is being sung, as different vowels have inherent register couplings: [Italian vowels] 'U' is most strongly connected to the falsetto (CT), and so is 'O', albeit slightly less so than 'U'. 'I' also has a lot of falsetto connection but is moving closer to the chest voice (TA). 'E' is kind of in the middle, and 'A' is strongly connected to the chest voice. So, when training your voice you can use 'U' and 'O' to bring more CT muscle into the coordination when getting closer to the break, and 'E' is great to bring in a bit more TA for att stronger sound above the break.

Alex Ross gave him an enthusiastic review in "The New Yorker" (Nov. 1, 2021): "Spyres has an easier upward reach, as he shows by firing off the nine high C's in 'Ah! mes amis,' from 'La fille du Regiment.' What's most impressive, though, is Spyres's unabashed vitality and urgency in any register or repertory." Wake up, Metropolitan Opera! When are you bringing Michael Spyres back after his debut last year?

He has almost prefectly blended chest and falseto. Real coordination. For whatever reason falseto has been neglected for decades, especially in regard to male voices, yet it is as important as the chest voice. Pushing the chest too high is injurious, the key is to blend this two distinct voice mechanism in the passaggio. That’s the secret. Listen to Gigli, Schippa, Lauri-Volpi, Milanov, Nilsson, Dominguez, Castagna…

That was the standard before Duprez sang his high notes from "the chest", starting a craze. Modern tenors absolutely abhor the use of falsetto, even though cultivating it is what baritones and tenors used to do to reach astronomical high notes with ease. I think Spyres is in a way just reinvigorating the old method of vitalizing the falsetto and blending it to the full voice.
@downfromkentuckeh 2 жыл бұрын
Especially when you have chanel's like this is opera and such, demanding that all singing no matter what voice type you are, must be absolutely super dark chest voice all the way to the top of your range. Silver singing method has done a lot of harm in demanding this as well. Verismo music has not helped this situation as well. Curious how in Bel Canto opera, tenors had no problem reaching stratospheric high Notes, and then in verismo opera, the tenor voices literally crap out at Bb⁴. I read in a treatise by Manuel Garcia, the register limits of the tenor chest voice end at Bb⁴ no wonder del monaco and Caruso amongst many others who sang verismo, capped out at Bb⁴ and even in the case of Del monaco, sometimes he would omit even Bb⁴'s in his singing. To much chest voice destroys the voice.

He is using the baritenor term here more as a skillset rather than the biological difference. He is absolutely a natural tenor. It is very obviously audible even when he darkens a lot and sings dramatic baritone arias, or bass arias even. There is a baritone who did the opposite from Spyres - sang tenor comfortably. Igor Gorin. And even in his tenor singing he had a distinct baritonal edge, despite being a high lyric baritone, and close to tenor in terms of biology.

His historical explanation is not accurate. There was a kind of high baritone in the French repertoire called a baryton-Martin after the singer whose vocal center of gravity lay higher than the norm, and parts like Hamlet and Pelléas illustrate the type. There was nothing similar in the Italian repertoire. Bellini did not write a high F for his Arturo in the expectation that the singer would alternate that part with Riccardo. Mr. Spyres shows here what I have always thought: he is naturally a lyric baritone with a strong falsetto that has allowed him to manufacture some very high (and often weird) tenor notes. He might have trained as a counter-tenor. He would be a splendid Figaro (badly overacted here, though) or Dulcamara. The high Q business is vocal smoke and mirrors.

His historical explanation was true though. Rossini wrote tenor parts that were sang by both tenors and baritones. The lead tenor in Armida is a ‘baritenor’ role. Even has a written low G#. And a high C. And Spyres is a natural big voices tenor. If you watch more of his material and interviews, he is honest about it too. He has said before that he is a spinto tenor in various interviews. You can hear it very well in the last piece in this video. Not a baritone.

He is a baritone with an unhealthy technique. However, if he ever were to make his vocal technique healthy, I'm not opposed to a natural biological man who, let's say, is a baritone but who decides to sing an aria meant for a tenor or even a basso. After all, Enrico Caruso himself, with a rock solid technique, sang not just live on stage (to help out mid-performance a sick colleague in trouble, who lost his voice) but also recorded the Coat Aria by Puccini and that's intended for a basso role. Moreover, I've heard Mario Del Monaco, a tenor, sing a baritone aria, as well as Nelson Eddy, a baritone, sing parts meant for tenors in the cartoon "Willie the Whale". Likewise, women have been guilty of doing the same and worse - Ruby Helder a low contralto and mezzo-sopranos, including some sopranos sing roles that are better suited for and should be played by men (albeit transposed as necessary), or as they are infamously known as pants roles. Heck even Lawrence Tibbett, a baritone, was guilty of committing the same - when he sang the mezzo-soprano aria "Defend her, Heav'n". While I do not condone people gender-bending roles, within the same gender arias - I'm not against it. I wasn't against Rosa Ponselle singing a mezzo/contralto aria like Dalila or mezzo/contralto like Louise Kirkby Lunn singing a soprano aria. :) So long as it fits the natural gender, and the voice technique is healthy - sing away! ^_^ Even Callas herself sang stuff not suited for her "voice type" - like mezzo-soprano and contralto arias. :)

i appreciate his talent and artistry, but i'd still prefer hearing robert merrill singing the baritone arias. spyres can sing the notes but does not have the actual baritone heft so why bother singing what others can do so much better. but if that's what he wants to do, more power to him. look at what frank sinatra and perry como have been able to do with the baritenor range. when he sings the tenor's high notes it sounds more like a very well-supported occasionally pitchy falsetto. ultimately because he tries to sing both, he is neither fish nor fowl (and unsatisfying).

No es un baritenor , es un baritono que canta con voz de cabeza cada ves que hace repertorio de belcanto cómo Rossini. En total una falla , cómo la mayoría de los que se denominan tenores hoy en día........

Chriss Merritt another northamerican could sing all the roles Mr Spyres sings and perhaps better so nothing new

Ritengo Merritt all'inizio della carriera eccezionale pur con intonazione spesso traballante ma ha cantato un decimo dei ruoli di Spyres.

Questo simpatico signore non ha la voce da baritono, e anche quando fa il tenore non è il massimo, è l'ennesimo fenomeno commerciale dei tempi nostri.

My concern is that the vocal technique of the baritone Spyres is not secure or healthy. If he learned to fix and make sure his vocal technique was secured and healthy, like in the teachings of Manuel Garcia, then I'm not opposed to biological natural (non-fake) men who may be tenors singing a baritone or basso or even a countertenor aria/role, provided that the vocal technique is healthy and secure throughout the range - chest, passagio, head, falsetto voice and have a good delivery of what they are performing. 😊 Likewise, the same applies also goes for biological natural (non-fake) women who may be sopranos singing a mezzo-soprano or contralto aria/role, and vice versa for all the other ranges. After all, Enrico Caruso sang not only tenor arias but one time sang a basso aria "The Coat Song" by Puccini and Mario del Monaco also sang the baritone aria "Largo al Factotum" as well, etc. For those who may accuse me, I do not hate Michael Spyres. I love to encourage all people to learn healthy vocal technique.
