Markw added the following text:

It also allows for sopranos and tenors with equally rich lower ranges not to be only cast in soprano/tenor roles. Essentially, one could say a spinto soprano is an alto with a soprano range or a soprano with an alto range (same for a baritone with a tenor range, and vice versa). However, it is important to note that spinto is usually reserved for sopranos who have control of their coloratura (or whistle register) and have a lower range. This is because a dramatic soprano is considered to be a lyric soprano with a rich, lower, "alto" range.

I don't believe it is correct to say that a spinto soprano is a soprano "with an alto range", whatever that means. The soprano lirico-spinto has essentially the same range as a lyric soprano, up to c6, only the voice is fuller and stronger. - Karl Stas 10:16, 25 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Soprano lirico-spinto

I think saying that Cio-Cio San is a role which 'Renata Tebaldi made her own' is a bit of a biased statement for the purposes of explaining what a spinto is. Doublea 04:16, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, Tebaldi was not a lyric, as mentioned in the "Vissi d'arte" survey (now edited). However, is Caballe more of a lyric or more of a spinto?
