Mattia Battistini, (27 February 1856 7 November 1928)was born in Rome. He studied voice with Persechini was was also the voice teacher of Titta Ruffo and Giuseppe di Luca. Notice how much chiaro Battistini keeps in the passaggio and the top. No baritone on the main stage today comes close to that clarity. You do not get it from putting it in your nose, placing the sound in between your eyes, in your eyebrows, up, spinning....those things only add constrictions and distortions to the sound. You get it from proper development of the chest register and falsetto register, their coordination, and learning to cover correctly.
