Bravissimo Leonard !

[Fasolt100]

Grande! Grandissimo Warren!

He didn´t die after singing the aria. He collapsed on stage because of a heart attack, and died in his dressing room.

Wonderful.

Brilliant gem of vocal history

the king hasn't been replaced since-- I doubt t he ever will -Probably more influential to any aspiring dramatic baritone than any one in history -. The power and fullness at the top =- I think he gets to sing the duets with Caruso now - That's when you really hear the thunder from the heavens!! Thanks for this great upload!

My all time favorite baritone...I don't think anyone comes close. Thanks so much for uploading this.

tht's y pava's afraid of forza?

[Sieglinde84]

Wonderful. A bit scary to listen, though, knowing he died later while singing this aria...

[pavoman23]

@Sieglinde84 Exactly what I thought.

[cathode1990]

@Sieglinde84  verdi operas are so diffcult and rangy for the baritone -You have to sing over dramatically loud orchestras and choruses - At least Warren died in the role of a Verdi character -- We'lll never see his like again! He was the king -- I think he knew it!

@Sieglinde84 this was sung in 1953. He died 7 years later.
