I actually don't think that he over darkens. In fact I think he is very brave to sing in the way he sings considering so many basses have done as you have said in the past. Of course there are many dark moments but I think he uses them as he does his other traits, as vocal colour. Anyway I am singing with him in the Summer so I will let you know if he is too dark!!
Better than who? Erwin is not that great actually. Compared to the new Bulgarian Basso Canto Orlin Anastasov, Erwin is weak.
Anyways, Ferrucio is unique really. I have not heard a lot of him, but this was enough to see that he is a real treasure. He is singing it like he feels it, and he feels it right. THIS IS WHY I LIKE HIM! Most of the basses nowadays imitate someone else. Who needs an imitator?
ALL bass-baritones of this generation have been tainted by Samuel Ramey's over-darkening, which means Most of them are imitators, Ferrucio no exception. If you don't hear it yourself, keep listening for it and asking yourself, "Is he over-darkening?" And you will find yourself answering yourself "YES!"
@soren476 you clearly don't know the difference between american bass baritone and german bass baritone. American bassbaritone is aka basso cantante, singing bass while german is a helden baritone. Basso cantante is of course darker and has warmer color while heldenbaritone sounds harsh, nasal and more trumpet-like. I agree ramey could've been a baritone, but you have to consider that he sung in met. Not many singers can sing verdi in met and be audible.

@serenade00007 Erwin Schrott is a BARITONE. Not a bass!

He is good indeed. Gets in my personal favourites right after Ghiaurov's interpretation. Well done.
