Similarly the great Russian Bass Feodor Chaliapin also gives us quite a lesson in limpid legato lines & bel canto (though a different technique to articulating his noodles, no longer in favor, where he actually moves his mouth in a ba ba ba or ma ma ma method that physically distinguishes the notes in a run - unlike perhaps anyone else youve ever heard sing such coloratura. This was a stylistic thing in his time & considered highly sophisticated vocal technique). I acually have owned this 78 rpm recording & treasure it as one of my longtime favorites of Chaliapins marvalously expressive voice. Here he sings Vi Raviso from La Sonambula: https://youtube/watch?v=cW9IW8WUFMw
