[Imogenn]

Schlusnus posted the answers to quiz 4 too, so here are his guesses: Part 4. Krauss,  Bergonzi... Gobbi.... Schwartzkoph.... Schipa..... ?......... Carrearas.... 9.Warren.... 10. Turner

[GermanOperaSinger]

Oh dear, only 3 tenors?

2. Sounds like D. Barioni on a good day - when he was on he was amazing

5. Carlo Bergonzi - when he wasn't going flat he was one of the finest vocal artists ever - I love this tenor

7. Ivan Kozlovsky - great technician who knew how to use falsetto coordination in the voice - I'm not a fan of his sound though

Sorry, unless I'm a huge fan of the baritone/soprano/mezzo etc., I can't really identify their voices

[MaestroAmduscias]

1. Fischer-Dieskau

2. Barioni sempre bellissimo (ci sono solo due registrazioni di quest'opera, l'altra è con ALAGNA ed è facile a dire che questo non è Alagna...)

3. Strano. La voce è quella di Rossi Lemeni, ne sono sicuro. Iago invece è un ruolo per baritono.

4. Erna Berger --- ??? Difficile... roba da matti...

5. Bergonzi - che bello! Così elegante.

6. Tagliavini da vecchio

7. Koslovsky

8. Giannini

9. Tibbett

10. La Grob-Prantl - l'italiano terribile ma la voce splendida

03: Ghiaurov?

04: Caballé.

05. Bergonzi.

08. Hesitant between Hellen Traubel and Lotte Lehmann.

09. Tibbett.

10. Sutherland.

[Rusalka2411]

O dear!

3) is maybe George London; 4) sounds like Tiana Lemnitz. Is 7) Ferruccio Tagliavini? 9) maybe Mattia Battistini and 10) Rosa Ponselle.

[CraigFrancisSoto]

Menagia !  These singers are so difficult to identify that I'm ready to give up.This is a real challenge. The only singer I feel fairly certain about is #7 -its Lauri Volpi with his great squillo.Whomever #4 is,I absolutely love that voice-what a beautiful timbre and tone. Mille grazie Imogen for this but this one is way too tough for me.

[Ragnaroekk]

10 is rather Sutherland than Nilsson...

[TsarBovov]

Uhmmm... This is yummy, but certainly hard to digest. But I am too tempted. My guesses: 01 Thomas Quasthoff maybe. Cool stuff. 02 no idea. Lovely voice. 03 Tito Gobbi 04 Elly Ameling! I love her! 05 Nice! Pavarotti? 06 Gobbi again? I'm puzzled. 07 Giacomo Lauri Volpi 08 Maria Reining? Nice! 09 No idea. Sounds weird. 10 Sounds like Nilsson... Now I have a belly ache. I knew it... but... I feel like Spaghetti too. Damn.
