superbe, jamais une basse-profonde avait fait une chose aussi splendide au lieu de faire une aria jolie mais sans mi a le fin, il a fait une chose fantastique avec un mi ... j'en reste sans voix... Chaque jour qui passe, Ivashenko m'inpréssionne de plus en plus!!!
@clown84700 Si tu veux entendre une vraie basse profonde, tape le nom de Vladimir Miller., tu cmprendras tout de suite que ce chanteur n'est pas dans la même ligue.
I disagree about his legato... it sounds quite good to me, and I'm very familiar with all the great bassos. I agree the tempo is a bit fast, but that might be the fault of the conductor more than anyone else. Aso for his age... nothing in the score or script says Sarastro is an old man. I think the idea of a younger Sarastro is just fine, for a change!
It's only tasteless when they can't handle it, which most can't. There are only a handful of basses in the opera world that should sing the low E imo...but thank God for those few!
Strongly disagree with this. He is good, but he is not at the level of Gottlob Frick, Alexander Kipnis, Kurt Moll or Matti Salminen. At least not yet.
I love that sound in the low notes, wish I could sound like that.

C'est un très bon chanteur, mais j'entend plus Méphistophélès que Sarastro dans cette interprétation. Malgré tout un très bon chanteur je le répète.

How this young artist sings the role of Sarastro is breathtaking, there are not many Basses they have this gentel, and wounderful Legato .....

Actually, it is C sharp at the top and E natural at the bottom. (it's in E major)
In fact the lowest note written is an F sharp, but some basses go down the bottom E at the end to show off, although it's a bit tasteless imo :)

Going down to the low E at the end of the aria is indeed a bit show of. It might be a good vocal practise, but I for one would never do it on stage.
The true basses still have to reach the low E though, because there are plenty of arias written that low.

That said - Ivashchenko really does perform this beautifully. It IS rear to hear such a performance from a young bass.

Eh, the E sounded a tad sharp to me. But I doubt that that's because he can't get down there.

I heard him singing Osmin's area where he sings a bottom D sow a E should not be a problem for him!
