This section is rather self-explanatory. We have spoken much before on how the falsetto/head voice is the correct basis for all voices. Here, you can see the brightness, expressiveness, and extreme beauty of tone that results from this ideal of training.

The exact clips I prepared for the recordings I list here are Manon: Monsieur – 1:39-2:39, La Vergine Degli Angeli – 0:46-1:26, Mamma Mia, Che Vo Sape – Whole Song, Ah! Je Ris… – 0:57-1:57, and Tra Voi Belle – 0:48-1:15.
Mamma Mia, Che Vo Sape – Mario Lanza
This song is taken straight from the recording used in the MGM movie “That Midnight Kiss” with Mario Lanza and Kathryn Grayson. I highly recommend that you see the movie. It is extremely enjoyable.
