Spinto (from Italian, "pushed") is a vocal term used to characterize a soprano or tenor voice of a weight between lyric and dramatic that is capable of handling large musical climaxes in opera at moderate intervals. (Sometimes the terms ' or ' are used to denote this category of voice.) The spinto voice type is recognisable by its tonal "slice" or ''squillo''. This enables the singer to cut through the wall of sound produced by a full Romantic orchestra in a wide variety of roles, excluding only the most taxing ones written by the likes of Richard Wagner (such as ''Brünhilde'', ''Isolde'', ''Tristan'' and ''Siegfried''), Giacomo Meyerbeer (''John of Leyden''), Verdi (''Otello''), Puccini (''Turandot'', ''Calaf'') and Richard Strauss (''Elektra''). * : a fundamentally lyric soprano with a fair amount of extra "pulp" in her tone and a distinct thrust in her vocal attack. As they possess both a lyric and a dramatic quality, spinto sopranos are suitable for a broad spectrum of rol ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
