Boris Christoff- Come dal ciel precipita

[abracadabranque]

Manque d'abattage et de coffre.

[federic017]

Un interprete immenso...saluti

[iavorpatril]

Era, lo e' tuttora, e lo sara' per sempre il mio preferito!

[mbrtok]

ArentW, I don't now, solo lo escuche en una transmision radial, pero creo que hizo la version de estudio

[SerPetKo]

Исключительно!!!!!

[MTondeleo]

What I like about Christoff is the uniqueness, not quite following the "rules" of vocal technique, but huge, open, and unapologetically basso, plus the emotional involvement. Long wished I could hear this greatest bass with the greatest tenor, Björling, then found a CD in my own dusty library, Aida, the two with lots of not exactly duets, but chiming in together. Operatic royalty!

[federic017]

Voce gutturale ma di grande fascino .

Interprete di prima grandezza . non ha niente a che vedere con Ramey e Hines, troppo grande per loro. un saluto

[mbrtok]

Samuel Ramey ,was the best Banquo Sin contar a Hines

[ArentWeSpecial]

@mbrtok Please, do you know where I could find a recording of Ramey as Banquo?

[alber6161]

i do prefer the Alexander Tsymbalyuk rendition..listen on UTUBE at high volume.....

[kmillard]

I always thought Jermoe Hines' version on Victor with Leonard Warren was an excellent rendition, but I'm with you on your assessment of the other basses on youtube. The commitment does not seem to be there.

[egymagyar1111111]

khankonchak thanks very much including your magistral comment, yes he is the one, I just finished Alexander Tsymbalyuk he is young but the role is not his Christoff's presence is unsurpassable till this very moment, thanks for this gem

[liric01994]

molto bravo!!!

[lordshipbg]

Boris Christoff Forever!

Bulgaria Forever!

[bassoprofondissimo]

I AM ALREADY ADDICTED!!!

[Spiritakis]

Wow, this must be Boris' recital at Carnegie Hall! If the date 1980 is correct... extremely rare recording! Thanks a lot for sharing it! Albeit a great fan of this incomparable artist, this is the first time I hear this live performance. It's true that the voice is not in its prime (he is 66 years old here) but that unmistakable timber is still amazing. Such great artists like Boris Christoff can convert the disadvantages of the old age into deeper and even more moving interpretation. Thanks!

[melomane57]

Bravissimo, bella voce potente.

[operaruud]

There will be only one:

Boris Christoff, the greatest of them all.

[brodsky96]

RIGHT! listen to russian songs, he sings them fantastically!!!

[operaruud]

His interpretating of these songs is without exception the best there is. I collect his records/recordings since my 16th and now I am 48. I heard him twice live when Boris was already in his sixties. The skill to sing with that magnificant voice. And most important to bring the emotion in his interpretations. I am searching for years now for the live recoding on video of the whole Boris Godunov with Boris Christoff. Not only the excerpts on YouTube.

[alexandrevlad37]

The best.

[Ufelan]

Christoff causes addiction. :D
