 Rubini, Giovanni Battista - Musical Biographies
Rubini next revisted Italy, stopping at Vienna, and in the winter of 1844 returned to Russia.
Rubini owed his celebrity entirely to his voice and his control of it, as he lacked the gifts of dramatic ability and pleasing stage presence.
Rubini had many followers who copied certain peculiarities of style natural to and original with him, which, when imitated, became caricatures, and injured his traditional reputation to some extent, but unjustly.

 Review/Opera; How Bellini's Second Thoughts Were Really First - New York Times
Such is the history of "La Straniera." The composer's fourth opera, written in 1828, was originally conceived for Giovanni Battista Rubini, owner of the high, liquid tenor apparatus then in operatic favor.
Bellini had also written "Il Pirata" with Rubini's voice in mind, but when it became clear that the tenor was not free to sing the premiere of "La Straniera" at La Scala in Milan, the tenor role of Arturo was composed in a downward version for the tenor Domenico Reina.
Rubini did sing "La Straniera" later on, and Bellini rewrote the tenor part for him, including ancillary alterations in orchestration and key relationships.

 Papa Clemente XI - Wikipedia
Stemma pontificio di Clemente XI Papa Clemente XI Clemente XI, nato Giovanni Francesco Albani ( Urbino, 23 luglio 1649 – Roma, 19 marzo 1721), fu Papa dal 1700 al 1721.
La Santa Sede, consapevole dell'incombente conflitto, si rese anche conto che i contrasti tra le fazioni filofrancese e filoimperiale all'interno del Sacro Collegio avrebbero potuto paralizzare a lungo i lavori del Conclave, con conseguenze disastrose all'interno della Chiesa in generale e dello Stato Pontificio in particolare.
Il Conclave si aprì il 9 novembre e il giorno 23 successivo, pochi giorni dopo la proclamazione di Filippo d'Angiò a Re di Spagna, fu eletto come successore di Innocenzo XII il Cardinale Giovanni Francesco Albani, marchigiano, la cui scelta fu certamente il frutto di un compromesso tra i due schieramenti.

He was born Giovanni Battista Rubini in Bergamo, Italy on 7 April, 1794 and showed musical talent early on, being accomplished not only as a singer, but also as a violinist.
Rubini's voice, while naturally situated high, apparently was a mix of a chest resonance with a strengthened falsetto.
Rubini retired from the stage in 1845 at the age of 51 and lived in a villa in Bergamo for the rest of his life, which is now a museum dedicated to his memory.

 OPERA: VINEYARD SHOP PRESENTS 'GIANNI DI PARIGI' - New York Times
Donizetti composed it on his own, hoping to tempt Giovanni Battista Rubini with its juicy tenor part.
Rubini turned elsewhere, leaving the piece to lie unperformed until 1839 - in a poorly received production at La Scala in which the composer took no part.
Given the great Rubini's inspiration, it is a shame that the Vineyard could not have cast a Gianni with more dash and vocal flexibility.

 The Bel Canto Clarinettist
The term bel canto did not enter the musical vocabulary until the mid nineteenth century, and it was coined to describe, in retrospect, the style of singing cultivated in Italy through the 17th and 18th centuries.
The bel canto ideal was control and beauty of tone (glorification of the voice for the voice's sake) and the exploitation of the voice's gymnastic possibilities.
Some were not above adding their own bit of spice to a performance and it was reported that Giovanni Bimboni (1813-1893) was in the habit of doing a grand improvisation to herald a singer's aria which provoked a frenzy of applause.

 Collins, Count Fosco, and the Concertina
But therein does not lie his greatest merit … That which raises Signor Regondi above other performers, is the sentiment and expression by which he assimilates his instrument to the human voice, and sings in a manner to rival the effects of the greatest singers.
Thus while those of Collins’s mid-Victorian readers who were acquainted with the “English” would have known that it was an entirely home-grown instrument, it was with the Italian Regondi that the instrument had, to a certain extent, become synonymous, and it was with him that they would have immediately associated it.

 Baltimore Opera Company
Laying the blame for the high F on Rubini himself makes sense, considering how closely tailored early nineteenth-century operas were for individual singers; often the cast and the number of arias for each singer were decided before the plot or even the librettist was chosen.
In fact, an influential singing treatise of the period names Rubini as, literally, the textbook example of the type of very high tenor called the tenor-contraltino in Italian (haut-contre in French), suggesting that Rubini's voice was more norm than anomaly.
In fact, it seems that register shifts were only one of a number of "disjunctions" that Rubini cultivated; critics of the time speak of sudden shifts in volume, constant melodic ornamentation of the written line, and especially sobs and sighs with which he would break up a phrase.

 FanFaire Press Room
Both of them sang in other Bellini premieres (Pasta was the first Norma and Rubini the first Arturo in I Puritani, for instance), but this was the only time he wrote for the two of them together, and he made the most of it, with duets of spellbinding beauty and bel canto intricacy.
This unusual situation stems from the special difficulty of the tenor role written for Rubini, whose intense, poetic singing enchanted Chopin, Heine, Rossini, Liszt and a whole generation of audiences.
Rubini had one of the highest tenor voices of the 19th century, and Bellini gave a limpid, almost ethereal color to the score by using that high range lavishly in the most delicate as well as the most passionate passages.

 Gonzaga - La Celeste Galeria
Successivamente, i rapporti sempre più stretti con la corte di Firenze (nel 1584 Vincenzo sposò Eleonora de' Medici) arricchirono tale predisposizione anche con il gusto per la componente più squisitamente fiorentina del canto a solo con accompagnamento di chitarrone.
La sua presenza a Pisa durante i preparativi dell'Orfeo e delle feste per le nozze del fratello Francesco con Margherita di Savoia (1608) favorì l'infittirsi dei contatti con la corte dei Medici, e in concreto l'arrivo a Mantova di virtuosi quali il castrato Giovanni Gualberto Magli e il contralto Antonio Brandi.
Duraturo fu poi il legame con Marco da Gagliano, che per lui assunse i ruoli di compositore, di guida 'didattica' nelle attività compositive e di intermediario.

Donizetti’s “Anna Bolena” was first presented in 1830 in Milan with arguably the world’s greatest soprano and tenor — Giuditta Pasta and Giovanni Battista Rubini — as Anna and Percy.
It continued to be performed now and then until the end of the 19th century, after which it lay dormant until it was mounted at La Scala in 1957 for Maria Callas, a moment which is sometimes acknowledged to have officially sparked the bel canto revival.
The voice is a genuine lyric but with a nice “ping” at the top; a bit more involvement in the text would make him a very valuable addition to the tenor world.

 Giuseepe Sabbatini Review - I Puritani, Turin 1996
A tal riguardo merita analizzare con occhio didattico l'interessante prestazione offerta da Giuseppe Sabbatini nei panni di Arturo.
Per la seconda volta nella sua carriera dopo l'edizione di Londra del 1992 alle prese con uno dei più impegnativi ruoli tenorili del repertorio ottocentesco, Sabbatini affronta il personaggio con la volontà di recuperare quello stile di canto alato, delicatamente astratto che era proprio del mitico Giovanni Battista Rubini, creatore della parte.
Raramente capita di ascolatare il recitativo e la dolente romanza che apre il terzo atto con una gamma di colori, accenti e messe di voce così varia e fantasiosa, dove ogni parola acquista nel canto, il suo dovuto spessore espressivo.

With Rossini entrenched in a position of power in the musical life of Paris, he extended invitations to both Bellini and Donizetti to compose new works for the 1834-1835 season.
They were splitting their seasons between Paris (autumn and winter) and London (spring and early summer), often performing as a unit.
It would be unkind to discuss his attempts at the high Ds in the tenor role, which had been created by Rubini.
