Jerry Hadley (June 16, 1952 July 18, 2007) was a student of my teacher from 1978, after getting his masters degree in music from the University of Illinois in 1977. He then started teaching at the University of Connecticut. A 1993 article by Noël Goodwin in Opera magazine stated, "After 15 years Hadley still goes back to this Sicilian American who, he says, gave him confidence and secure knowledge of what he is doing with his voice at any given time, through teaching methods that are direct and physiological." Hadley also stated, "(I was) lucky above all else to have found a teacher in New York without whom I really doubt I could have really built the career I have." Here he displays wonderful balanced vocal registration and release of constriction which are the cornerstones of the technique that he learned and that I teach.

Such a rich voice for a tenor. This must be my most favourite rendition of this moving piece from Handle's Messiah.

What is beautiful is the joy that is expressed in that smile that passes over his face throughout this most beloved piece from Messiah.

Wonderful to hear a real TENOR sing this -- not some of the emasculated pseudo-tenors they get for those "authentic" versions. My opinion. So sad that Jerry Hadley took his own life. I wish those closest to him could have seen that he needed help. Such a great loss.

The classical music is the best to hear, to read with and to feel fly away!

I love his voice, and he sings this with wonderful energy, but the articulation of the runs is pretty laboured.

Stunningly beautiful and humble. I feel the same awe when listening to the amazing ANDREY NEMZER singing SAINT FRANCIS PRAYER. Such humility and inspiration!.
