Kurt Moll: Der Rosenkavalier - Baron Ochs - Da lieg ich

[LeChevalierDuFeu]

he is the best!!!!!!!!

[SnuggeP]

You are right, he's truly the Master. Thanks for downloading!

[skingaz]

Was für ein Fantastische Sänger! Seriously, he is amazing, and sadly there's just nobody now who sounds half as good in the Bass ranks. I wait to be proved wrong, and would be happy at it.

[disneylandman66]

What a perfect Ochs. Genius Moll!

[englandcalling22]

In dieser Musik hört man eines sofort: Wien!

Für mich die schönste und tollste Stadt der Welt, bin immer wieder gerne dort.

[Sanitoeter666]

Unglaublich stimmhaftes D, unglaublich...

[decoculaeselmariachi]

Fantastisch, einfach fantastisch... geradezu ausserirdisch, dieses D! Unerreicht!

[tutullayt]

Oh wie schön!! (habe die CD der Karajan Aufnahme) absolut fantastisch...der Walzer und Molls Stimme, jeder Grizzlybär wäre neidisch, kommt gleich in meine Klassik playlist...

[OliverKahnNr1]

Impressive! First the incredibly well projected low D at 0:34, then the perfectly balanced high F at 1:31!

[verdinfishy]

damn! he sounds like he's from another planet!! And that's a compliment ;)

[Ellapon]

Nice C at 0:33 :)

[hugodraslik]

@Ellapon

It´s nice D.

[disneylandman66]

definitive. genius. perfection.

[aloysiusbeaky]

zegermans and whiteprofondo should get back to listening to their Susan Boyle songs as soon as possible.

[WhiteProfondo]

The music sounds extremly boring...

[LAPITAGORIZACION]

Kurt Moll is in a superlative level, the rest of the bass singer are dim in comparation

[xav71176]

OMG Ochs sounds like Hagen !! :)))

[zegermans750]

if only this opera wasn't god fucking awful

[stanleycohen]

Don't hold back, now. say what you think.

[PatriceFitz]

What do you mean, awful? Er sagt es ist ganz schlecht!

It's a great opera -- funny, romantic, nuanced.

[stierlein]

phantastisch. k

[stierlein]

phantatisch. sehr gut

[avpny1346]

it would have ben good to include the walse also....

[garzopiano]

The Best Ever and forever.

[Goethefemme]

Thank you so much for this. Just to hear the final waltz brought tears.

When I lived in Wien in the late 70s we had magnificent casts for Rosenkavalier but with Oscar Czervenka. I walked into town (before the tram started for the day) to do standing room for a performance of La Fanculla del West with domingo to see that he cancelled and that they were doing Rosenkavalier with Trudeleise Schmidt (sp?), Christa Ludwig, Gerhard Unger, and Oskar Czerwenka(sp). It was a pickup cast that was of recordable quality. With Moll irt would have been better.

[LAPITAGORIZACION]

una voz privilegiada!!!

a great bass

[086342762]

I agree with ChrisWCann - Otto Edelmann was unsurpassed.

[ChrisWCann]

I have this complete, but must say, if you can get it, that the film of this production when it was new in 1960 is even better. It is again under Karajan, but with Schwarzkopf's unsurpassed Marschallin at her peak, the divine Sena Jurinac as Octavian, the delightful Annelise Rothenberger as Sophie and my favourite Ochs, Otto Edelmann - no other Ochs manages such an appealing twinkle of the eye.

[086342762]

Yes, Chris, I must be a GRUFTY, listening in the old MET to Annelise and Otto. Well,  it were great times.

[band3kafsh]

Karajan's conducting is painfully slow here.

[ChrisWCann]

not nearly as slow as Thielemann's conducting at Covent Garden in 2000 with Fleming, Graham and Schaefer - he found an extra half an hour of music from somewhere! For all that, it was bliss on a stage.

Hello. Its really the best complete version of Der Rosenkavalier, recorded in Vienna in 1984. Baltsa, wonderful, and enchanting Anna Tomowa-Sintow as Marchalin. Beautiful scenographie, best singers and Lord karajan in one of his best moments.

[IceMasterEasthamJazz]

However, I also don't know nearly anything about this opera. Is he supposed to be injured?

[jws2718]

If I remember correctly, in the previous scene he and Octavian crossed swords and Ochs was stabbed in the arm.

[IceMasterEasthamJazz]

Actually, the whole time, I just noticed. Is it to help him holding the glass up?

[IceMasterEasthamJazz]

Why is his arm in the sling at the end?

[band3kafsh]

He's been lightly stabbed by Octavian in a short sword-scuffle

[lucpebo]

I have this DVD is the best recording in my opinion of this wonderful strauss's opera.the cast is one most better in the world:tomowa-sintow(best marechala),agnes baltsa(wonderful octavian)and moll in his better role.

this recording was made in 1984 in salzburg.was a fantastic night for the singers and for karajan too.the brilliance perfomance of everybody,because karajan liked so much of this singers.

I LOVE THIS RECORDING!

[BassosaurusRex]

Hmm... Yup, you're right. I took the info directly from Amazon:

amazon. com/R-Strauss-Rosenkavalier-To­mowa-Sintow-Salzburg/dp/B00005­A1SZ/

Not sure exactly when this was then. If you liked the clip, go buy the whole DVD!

[bugopolo]

This can not be 1993! Karajan was dead by 1989...

[Anghardel]

I love seconds 33-35. Moll just opens his mouth and out comes some good-ol-profondo, just as casual as can be. He does a good job of acting this performance, not just singing it; I really dig the relaxed look he has going on :P. Bravo Moll!

[angusmark80]

Can you tell me wich low note is that he sings in second 30???It's amazing!!

[hightenor123]

It is a C
