This man has presence. I have never heard him sing before. So it was a surprise to me when he opened up. Thats what you get for being dumb enough to leave the volume up. This is awesome
Baritone opera is my favorite music! Can anyone tell me the names of some of the world's most prominent baritones? (Christopher is brilliant, but I want more!)
Also Rhydian Roberts who is a dramatic baritone however I've yet to hear him sing a true opera song, he has the voice. Anthony Warlow, another dramatic baritone singer who is also a musical theatre performer.
Yeah, but Chrisopher Lee has something on Chuck Norris. Christopher Lee fought both Nazis and Communists. In real life. He fought the Soviet Union alongside Finland during the Winter War and was involved in British Special Forces during World War II. Even Chuck Norris can't beat that.
@Mrx2848 And don't forget he sings, he was a soldier, he is a historian, and expert on the occult, and has acted in 266 films and counting. Christopher Lee is the Lord of the World hehe. He has done everything imaginable.
@GrandLordBaradar DON'T FORGET HIS ALBUM CHARLEMAGNE ITS AWESOME MAN I REALLY LIKE IT OH, YES AND HE IS RELATTED THE CHARLEMAGNE AND I THNK FREDERICK BARBAROSA OR A LEAST HE WORE HE'S COAT AND SWORD FOR THE ALBUM COVER HEHE ;)
Yep, if I remember right, he did better things than turn water to wine... just watch Lord of the Rings and Star Wars Episode 2. So that places somewhere above the first one you mentioned!
Christopher Lee has inspired billions of people worldwide and he's still alive, Jesus could not inspire even a milion, think now! He became great a few centuries later.
Holy hell. All the awesome points Christopher Lee lost by being associated with the Star Wars prequels? He's just regained them in my eyes, and then some.
Pity he isn't the only one singing here, though. The other guy isn't bad, but their voices totally don't work together. Maybe they could have alternated, but definitely shouldn't have sang at the same time. Especially near the end; the instrumental ends up being too loud as well and drowns them both out. :(
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@MarkusRamikin I could call you up and tell you. Or I could look up your info, come over and scream it in your face. I still mean what I say regardless.
"Bass-baritone"?! Check out some of his other works, and you will start thinking of him as one hell of a basso! Check out "the return of captain invicible, name your poison" here on youtube. Talk about volume!
I've got two questions that I would be very, very thankful if someone could answer me:
1: If you want to be a baritone singer, could you start off as late as in your late teens / early 20s if you don't have any experience of it since earlier?
2: Is it possible to master several as different singing styles as rock and opera? Could you sing like Christopher did in this video and at the same time be a good rock singer?
I'm no vocal teacher but, I could give you what I now so far about singing. Naturally, your voice is what it is. I started singing in my late teens and i am a tenor. I don't think you can choose your voice type. I might be wrong. I guess it is better to start singing as a teen because your voice is more developed than in comparison to when you are younger. Then again, there are those who have been singing all their lives who sound brilliant.
Thank you, it really gives me hope! Talking genres, are you referring to different styles in opera or do you mean that it is possible to be a baritone and in the same time be a rock singer?
Well yes. It really doesn't matter on your voice type ( counter tenor, tenor, baritone, bass). Just don't force yourself to sing like a baritone or bass when you are a tenor and vice versa. I took lessons, which are always a good place to start. I was not too pleased that I didn't have a baritone voice but I discovered that your voice, once it is developed, can reach different ranges. So if you are a beginner, I would focus on developing your voice. I'm glad I could help.
Christopher Lee in fact also sang in opera. I myself don't know any other actor with such a ... great ... voice. To listen him singing or speaking is like an adventure.
By the way: Of course Christopher Lee is no d**nd Tenor, don't you hear? This man is at least bariton, but I suppose in fact he's bass-bariton or a real bass. With this voice, you could even sing Sarastro... (-:
No wonder, his complete name is Christopher Frank Carandini Lee, last heir of the marquises of Sarzano. His grand mother was Marie Carandini, a famous Soprano.
This is magical... I love it so much!! I favorited! Christopher Lee has an amazing voice and so does the other guy who sings with him, it is a wonderful duo... OMG, I love all about this song and video, 5 stars!:D
For those of you that remember the old Dracula movies this is the very same Christopher Lee that stared in "Dracula Has Risen From The Grave"-Good movie!!!My hear belongs to "HIM" though,I just like Christopher Lee as an actor.I never knew he sang.
I don't know how Christopher Lee got involved with Rhapsody, but he's absolutely magnificent! My favorite actor is a man of many talents! This is Landon Forbes signing off.
I remember when in lord of the rings he was chanting/singing at the fellowship. he was bringing down the mountian and i thought... what a nice voice... i wonder if it is his.... i was not disapointed.. a very great song and band
Oh..... My.... God.... My respect for this man just skyrocketed. He's an awesome actor, and HE CAN SING!!! He has a wonderful voice too... With a lot of feeling. I'm gonna go listen to this again...
You can get this song off "Symphony of Enchanted Lands II" by Rhapsody. But this one with Christopher Lee I'm not too sure, try Limewire or something.
At his age to sing like that makes him very gifted. And I've seen him sing when younger he has a great voice it's just that when you get older your voice loses what it had when you were younger.
the true face and voice of the Sith, Count Dooku for real. Anyone remember the movie "Mio and The Land of Far Away" with Chris Lee and a very young CHristian Bale? Lee played the villian... go figure
A true gentleman,erudite;courteous-with a distinguished warrior past-and the artistic passion rooted in classic theatrical,musical,and poetical genres.I would love to shake hands with such an admirable fellow.
Christopher Lee is a bass baritone. His voice has a bass timbre but he can reach a higher baritone. He talked about his singing training and has described it thus: 'What they produced was a voice that could not make up its mind, and when my basso profondo reached the 'bridge' from bass to baritone, it pirouetted over the parapet into a tenor baritone timbre. Unusual and distinctive, but inconvenient.'
So whatever it is correctly described as it is very pleasing. A great voice.
Definitely Bass. As for the other guy, I think he was trying to reach Mezzo-Soprano. I was kind of hoping Lee would use some evil wizardry to send him flying off the stage.
Hihi! If Christopher Lee sings a tenor, than I am a pope!
But, his voice is absolutelly great, wonderfull to hear. This strange feeling around my heart by hearing... I could hear hours long his voice! Singing or just speaking.
Than I favorited this video, and gave full rating to it.
And I apologize my English, is not very well I know. :)
And no, he isnt a Tenor, sounds like a Bass, but, oddly enough if you listen closely towards the end at 3:21 you hear him hitting high notes, they sound to be high Es and Fs, which tends to be the limit of the baritone range, so meh.
oddly enough if you listen closely towards the end at 3:21 you hear him hitting high notes, they sound to be high Es and Fs, which tends to be the limit of the baritone range, so meh. @Ivan2288
Actually, at the end he hits a top B flat in full voice which is pretty crazy for someone who has a strong bass bottom D, which you can hear on the clip from The Return of Captain Invincible
I am personally a Rhapsody fan and have owned this CD for some time, but have never seen the video. I believe the combination of Lee's deep, powerful voice and Lione's smooth, majestic voice is a pe

Definitely Bass. As for the other guy, I think he was trying to reach Mezzo-Soprano. I was kind of hoping Lee would use some evil wizardry to send him flying off the stage.

I absolutely didn't know there was a French version of it? Does someone possess this version? I'm really interested.

Hihi! If Christopher Lee sings a tenor, than I am a pope!
But, his voice is absolutelly great, wonderfull to hear. This strange feeling around my heart by hearing... I could hear hours long his voice! Singing or just speaking.
Than I favorited this video, and gave full rating to it.
And I apologize my English, is not very well I know. :)

So in fact at that point he is indeed singing in a tenor range; but it's the only part of the song where he does

Yeah he was 84. I met him a couple of years ago and he was very nice, and also very tall.

I am personally a Rhapsody fan and have owned this CD for some time, but have never seen the video. I believe the combination of Lee's deep, powerful voice and Lione's smooth, majestic voice is a pe
