Macbeth - Come dal ciel precipita (Günther Groissböck ,The Royal Opera)

Günther Groissböck , as Banquo, performs the aria Come dal ciel precipita in Phyllida Lloyd's production of the Shakespearean classic.

For Verdi, Shakespeare was a long-standing passion and Macbeth (the first of his three Shakespearean masterpieces) is widely seen as a major step forward in his artistic development. First seen in 2002, Phyllida Lloyd’s production encapsulates the sinister quality of the piece, with striking designs by Anthony Ward.

"The correct jaw position is slightly down and wrapped back. In Italian, this ideal singing posture is referred to as 'raccogliere la bocca', which translates as 'to collect the mouth'. It refers to the avoidance of excessive jaw dropping or jaw-wagging during singing, both of which are techniques that may cause the temporomandibular joints to pop out of their sockets. The natural processes of vowel and consonantal definition are inherent components of the historic raccogliere la bocca concept. These principles maintain harmonic balance, especially when singing in the speech-inflection range.

The jaw should be relaxed at all times during singing and speech. When singing, the jaw should be allowed to drop, but not push forward or down too far. It should feel as though it is hanging loosely and comfortably from its 'hinges' feeling space in between our back teeth. As the jaw lowers, the singer should keep the elevation of the zygomatic fauscia, which is accomplished by a pleasant facial expression.

One very common technique that many vocal instructors and choir directors teach involves dropping the jaw excessively. Choir members are generally encouraged to open their mouths widely because it is thought, though incorrectly, to help them singer louder and make their voices heard better by the audience by creating a more open space for resonation. However, forcefully dropping the jaw from the temporomandibular joint does not produce more space in either the pharynx or the larynx. Instead, dropping the mandible actually narrows pharyngeal space and forces the submandibular musculature to press downward on the larynx."

I have seen GUNTHER GROSSBROK in several operas, however he really is at his best in STRAUSS DER ROSENKAVALIER..although his LEIDER recitals are also magnificent..

Such a pity to hear these singers sing on The Royal Opera House these days...
The stage which has seen heros like Adamo Didur, Feodor Shalyapin, Ezio Pinza, Cesare Sieppi, Nicolai Ghiaurov, Boris christoff, Yevgeni Nestrenko, Barseg Tumanyan, ... singing on it back in time.... 😔😔😔

Lot off expresion.. There is something in his voice which does not sound him real angry. According to me it does not sound as revenge in mind and all evil which comes and goes.
That is my remak.
Lett us all make the best music we have ever had.
Thanks for your beautiful voice but there is so much more in your voice and you as a person. Take this time as a slow down in performing and a growing steadily in personality .
Keep on training because this de vc er will take at least an other 3 years.
Take good care off yourself and do also crazy jobs in order to make a living, get confronted with the nuts off our lifes and than after 5 years to go will make a performance that lets the world shake

Poderia legendar para poertuguês a fim de levarmos a ópera ás escolas públicas do Brasil.

Terrible... just look at the position of the mouth, tilted or better, forced... to the right.... wrong and that "precipitates"... a wrong sound.Please, just my opinion. Not a "specialist", but the mouth position for me says it all... Now listen to the same aria with N. Ghiaurov...

People really don’t know voices anymore. This horrible… like a dog barking Verdi”s music
