The Lord's Prayer - Malotte sung by IGOR GORIN

[JohnM06840]

Xavier, thank you for sharing this. Igor Gorin was a personal friend of my family, and he sang the Lord's Prayer at my wedding 48 years ago. My wife just passed on, and I am trying to find digital copy to play at her memorial service. Could you possibly send me a copy that I could put on an IPOD or burn to a CD? Thank you. jam@magill.us

IGOR GORIN SURPASSES ALL THE BARITONES ON THE PROFESSIONAL OPERATIC STAGE who do not understand that singing IS an ART that requires TOTAL CONTROL, DYNAMICS, BRILLIANT TONE and SPONTANEITY the HALLMARKS of BEL CANTO

@soprana53 -Well said. He was without a doubt one of the very best.

[SHICOFF1]

I love Warren, Merrill and Mac Neil but this is also wonderful and more! Bravo!

[SHICOFF1]

Yes Wikipedia gives a complete story of his early life and singing as a Cantor, also he spoke 8 languages flently Born Ignantz Greenberg (1904-1982)

Igor Gorin's recording of The Lords Prayer was also special to my father, who passed away in 1975. I can still hear my father telling me how much this recording meant to him, and now to me also.

[paulostroff99]

@biwaUSA -Your father is now up there in the company of the great Igor Gorin. I would wish such a fate to befall me when my time comes.

Average rating: 5.0

2:20 til the end is probably the most amazing section of any song ever.

Igor Gorin, a Rabbi, was a splendid singer who was superior in his interpretation of

The Lord's Prayer. He became "NOTED" for this song.

[Isrek1]

Superb bar none.

[operalament]

there are a handful of baritones, that irrespective of ones personal tastes, must be acknowldedged as great. This man is one of them. I just listened to Warrens recording of this piece, and love it, but I must say, Gorin moves me in a way that Warren does not. If I had to choose five of the greatest baritone voices , Gorin would be among them. Joining him would be Tibbett, Thomas, probably Stracciari, and fifth would be a toss up btween perhaps 3 or 4 others. thanks for he post.

[halavey]

He was wonderful, Bravo Gorin!

[halavey]

He was a lyric BARITONE but has a little of a Warren like sound here . Born in Russia his name was Greenberg and he had a hard life when he was a young man.

[paulostroff99]

It does not get any better than this! Bravo! TY.

[Baritono63]

Igor Gorin, simply the best. Es gibt keine Worte, die seinen wunderbaren Gesang beschreiben können. Vollkommene Kunst.

[vernokenn]

Brings back memories of Boy Scout Camp Sunday services. This was played every sunday.

[playspb98]

What an incredible voice, it is truly stunning!

[olderngod]

Magnificent, sublime, eternal. A perfect voice. Why is it not better remembered? Perhaps we have lost our ear????

[MrSkylark1]

@olderngod

Yes, lost and forgotten because the human voice has been manipulated to generic tone. Everyone is shouting without any center to the tone because of "teachers" and impressarios who do not have the "vaguest' concept of what singing is all about. Logic should tell them that one violin string can be heard at the back of a 2500 seat auditorium

[Gemini730]

Just beautiful.

Thank You for sharing with Us. Lorraine

Xavi: Bello! simplemente bello!!!! Porque no la grabas tú y la cuelgas????? Sería un placer escucharte a ti también.

Besos y abrazos.

Siempre los tengo en mi corazón aunque no veamos mucho.

[xavierfersanta]

Estoy haciendo mi pista para grabarlo, ya lo escucharás.

[klokheten]

One of the very greatest renditions of this profound hymn. Beauty,heart,deep emotion and

impeccable singing from the great underrated Igor Gorin,one of the greatest baritones of all time.

[796824]

Stunning. No one on the operatic stage today can match Gorin.

[msmaddy49]

Dear Xavier,

What a blessing! About 6 years ago my dad requested this specific rendition. He loved hearing it at the Church he went to as a young man. My sister & I have been looking all this time to no avail up to now. My Dad is turning 85 yrs old on May 3, 2008. This is the best Birthday present ever. He is going to be so surprised. We are so very thankful to you! I know your Dad & Igor are making beautiful music right now with the Heavenly Host. God Bless you.

Thanks for this post, Xavier. As a singer and former student, I have to agree with Gorin when he said, "My boy, it's like getting an extra lesson."
