Hier soll ich dich denn sehen - Leo Slezak, ca. 1905

[TheWagbert]

I read his son's book "What time's the Next Swan" years ago, and so much of Walter Slezak's early life had to do with his father's career. To finally hear his voice myself is fantastic! Walter's stage debut was supposed to be dressed like his father in a swan boat being dragged across the stage to show distance. The stage hand sent the swan without him, then asked "What time's the next swan?"

It pleases me to hear an artist that was noted for interpretations of the heavy roles of Wagner and Verdi to sing Mozart so well. I hope that someday this phenomenon will again be commonplace.

Beautiful voice and great interpretation for this not-easy aria by Mozart. Bravo and thanks
