Del Monaco and Corelli each rejected sweet tenor singing in favor of what they considered a more virile approach. Del Monaco pioneered singing with the larynx lowered to the bottom of the throat. That gave him a powerful, brassy, thick, muscular, penetrating sound, more suited to emphatic climaxes than sweet caresses. The technique limited his ability to color, to modulate between loud and soft and to sing with agility or legato.
