Sarastro was written for Gerl a masonic buddy of Mozart. This aria ends on an F Natural. The other aria goes to a low F# or an optional low E Natural. As I remember it goes up to about a E Natural. Mozart wrote a number of concert arias for Gerl most of which have similar ranges. The really low bass concert arias were written for Fischer, The higher ones were written for Benucci (high F#s- low G's).
The hard part about Sarastro is the breathing and the legato, not the low notes.
Great voice, but i did have a bit of trouble understanding the text. Bring out the diction a bit more and you have a stellar performance. But again very nice voice.
No, it wasn't a high school production, but it was pretty low-budget, and the production was built to travel. My low notes are available on my website where the audio is better and not seated directly behind the brass.
respect! very good.

It's a nice voice, though it is hard to hear the low notes over the brass. they should play down for basses, boo on them

In defense of the conductor and orchestra, they unfortunately had to play outside of the pit in an area where they removed seats.
