This interview has been uploaded elsewhere before, but I wanted to take the time to 1) provide English captions [click the CC icon on the video], and 2) add a missing portion of the interview whose text has been published but whose audio seems not to have been reproduced. While the text of the missing portion was published in a different place in the interview, I’ve placed it where it seems to make more sense and have taken the liberty of having it read by a digital Italian male voice for continuity. The English translation of the entire interview is my own edition of an earlier translation by Flavio Ferri Benedetti.

This channel is primarily about vocal emission—aural examples of basically correct singing, correct impostazione—chiaroscuro, vowel clarity, firm and centered pitch, correct vibrato action, absence of throatiness or thickness, sounds free from constriction and from the acoustic noise that accompanies it—with occasional video examples that demonstrate what the body, face, mouth, jaw, and tongue look like when used with correct impostazione—the vocal emission of the one and only Italian school.
Caveat: I’m biased in favor of baritones and baritone literature, but if you want to learn about and listen to all the greatest singers in the old-school tradition, explore this spreadsheet (voice parts are separated by tabs):
