The great lyrical singers Asia
Papian or Jo? Magomayev or Lanfang? It is difficult for inquiring minds to tackle a field as large and diverse as the lyrical art, covering 10 centuries of history: there are many lyrical artists in the world. Making a selection of musicians, such as a “top 10” for example, is a difficult and subjective exercise. A musical selection is often the expression of personal preferences or artistic opinions, very interesting but also very different according to critics or musicologists, or simply influenced by the context: will an English lyrical singer not be instinctively privileged by an English critic?
For example: in France, Roberto Alagna, a French tenor, is more popular than the Russian mezzo-soprano Elena Obraztsova, who is more renowned throughout the world.
Timeline of lyrical singers in Asia
Whoever wants to discover opera does not always have an experienced music lover, an expert or an educator at his or her side to support and guide him or her in this field. So : Papian (singer) or Jo (South Korean operatic soprano) ? Eyvazov (Azerbaijani tenor singer) or Jung-sook (Classical singer, First Lady of South Korea) ? However, the knowledge available about musicians is enormous. It was processed to select the 10, 25, 50... most popular lyrical singers around the world, for those living or having lived en Asia, . And this objectively, and for the first time (soclassiq exclusivity).

The selections of musicians (lyrical singers) proposed by soclassiq are based exclusively on algorithms. The same applies to the composers, their works, the performers, les orchestras, the conductors and the venues : opera houses, concert halls or festivals.
What about the others? 25, 50 or more?
Summarizing to 10 musician names such a wide and diverse field may seem extreme or too simplistic for those who know lyrical art well, for those who can easily name 50 or more lyrical singers. Shankar, Gasparyan, Burchuladze, Dolukhanova, Kanno, Mammadova, Mahasti...
At this time, soclassiq has listed more than 14000 lyrical singers. So here is a selection of some lyrical singers for the years 1880-2020, in Asia, widely recognized around the world:
