@UnguruBulanTotal -Thanks for the note, about the re-naming of Nagyvarad! I'm sure that not, MANY Hungarians, nowadays, even know-about nor recognize this fellow, from the great days of singing, past. I wonder if many of your countrymen/women even know-about Bartok, Kodaly or others. Thanks again!

This man is so much "head and shoulders above the competition", it's not even funny.

The idea of SINGING Wagner, in full tone and legato, and the little nuances he brings to every word, without the performance seeming contrived and keeping the phrases so flowing.

@deramr - Also, the Schorr timbre was inimitable, and heartfelt accents and swells and diminuendos, were within the capabilities of his intelligence, voice and exceptionally-comprehensive, total interpretation. He's indelible ....
