Listen to his later version here in YouTube, it's really interesting to see how his voice changes, gets more mature... like a metamorphosis :). And still both of the recordings are unique.
I firstly heard this aria more than 50 years ago on 78vynil . The impression it produced on me then was with me all these years. It's my second time. I am sure no singer could or can do it better than magnificient Nicolai Ghiaurov!
I saw Ghiaurov sing this at the Met in 1978 with a cast including Milnes, Giacomini,Scotto,Horne and Morris as the Grand Inquisitor.The applause after the soliloquoy was so prolonged that he actually took a bow mid performance. I've never seen that before or since.
Alle Bulgaren haben so wunderschöne Stimmen.. Boris Christoff, Ghiauruv, Gjusselev, Petkow, Djakow.. und bei der Frauen- Kassarova, Tomova-Sintov, Kabaiwanska, Dimitrova, Stojanova..
Einfach unglaublich.. was "essen" die Menschen dort, was von einer Kultur haben sie.. würde mich freuen einmal dort eine Reise zu machen..
Diese Reife und expressive Art zu singen bereits mit 31. Ich habe noch nie eine Aufnahme von ihm aus dieser Zeit gehört. Tausend Dank radsvid. Was war der leider zu früh Verstorbene doch grandios - als Silva in Ernani, als Boris Godunow, als Mönch Pimen im Boris, als den ich ihn life in Zürich erleben durfte, als Don Basilio und und und. Verneigung vor einem der größten Bassisten des letzten Jahrhunderts
Dal vivo Ghiaurov era ineguagliabile,questa registrazione non rende giustizia.
Dal vivo la voce di Giaurov era sublime.

To have seen him live with Talvela as the Grand Inquisitor would have been simply awesome.

Thanks for this posting this. Great to hear this version by a younger Ghiaurov. He is my favorite interpreter of this role.

Eine traumhafte stimme. Aber diese chronischen huster im publikum, man könnte meinen er singt in einer lungenheilanstalt!!!

Man sollte ihnen theophylline oder so was geben! Nikolai Ghiaurov war ein grossartiger bass, aber kein Lungendoktor, leider! :-)

Off the web, don't remember where exactly. Google is your friend :)
The montage itself is a pretty basic application of Windows Movie Maker, a default Windows component. I encourage you to try it. :P
