Canto spianata

Broad in its legato, continuous, rigorously appliedrefers only to a largo - very elegant singing with every kind ofcoloration, but severe and devoid of fussy ornamentation - Listen toCaruso's Bois epais and Ombra mai fu,  although he injects emotion. Alsocalled the Noble style. The earliest singers sang this style. Itrequires a very beautiful natural sound with a great deal of focus tocarry off well. Kirkby Lunn & Destinn duet
