Andrea Rost Jozsef Gregor - Donizetti: L'elisir d'amore

I heard the two of them opposite Bergonzi in Baltimore, 1993. She was wonderful as was Gregor. BTW< they're singing in the Great synagogue of Szeged. She really was ravishingly beautiful and she sang well too!

Jozsef Gregor was one of Hungary's finest bass-baritones. R.I.P.

He truly was one of the best! Not only among Hungarian singers, he was the world class no. 1! I love him very much and listen to his recordings often, and I'm not Hungarian!

[organdude44]

Thank you for reply. I just sent for two of his recordings. I was a singer myself and sang many of the same roles. I regret not having seen Gregor on the stage. Yes, he certainly was world class. Do you have favorite recordings of his?

[wnwnrt]

I love the one with Telemann's "Der Schulmeister" and Cimarosa's "Il maestro di cappella".

are you trying to pick a fight? I have no problem with it but please note that it's you who is asking for it...

[jabopera]

No, your redundant post is what provoked my my post. And you still aren't making any sense

[picapin]

this guy is not a bass...

[jabopera]

Gregor was a Bass-baritone, however the role he is portraying here (Dulcamara) is listed as a bass, a comic bass if you want to get technical. Most often buffos are just listed as a bass in the program or the score and Gregor made his living as one of Europe's best.

Not sure why you felt the need to post a comment only to say "this guy is not a bass..." I can't find anywhere on here that marks this or him as a bass.

Care to elaborate?

egyszerűen gyönyörű!! csodálatos hangú mindkét énekes és nagyon tehetségesek is! őszintén sajnálom hogy soha nem láttam/hallottam Gregort soha élőben...
