  • This man is still singing today! That's right!...He's been reincarnated as a Helden again. His new name is Ben Heppner;D 

  • P.S.Als das Kind Peter Schreier mit seinen Eltern die Semperoper in Dresden besuchte, war er von der Stimme Torsten Ralfs derart begeistert, dass er später seine beiden Söhne nach diesem schwedischen Tenor benannte, nämlich Torsten und Ralf.

  • In der Leo-Blech-Diskographie wird diese Einspielung unter dem 21.April 1945 erwähnt.

    Blech emigrierte 1937 u.a.nach Schweden , wo sein Schwiegersohn Herbert Sandberg als Kapellmeister an der Oper in Stockholm wirkte.

    1948 kehrte Blech nach Berlin zurück, allerdings nicht an die Staatsoper im Ostsektor ( wie dort erhofft ), sondern an die Städtische Oper in Westberlin, wo er bis in die Mitte der 1950er Jahre wirkte.In diesen Jahren machte er noch eine Reihe von Aufnahmen für Funk und Platte.

  • One of the greatest singers of the time. This man was Richard Strauss tenor for Apollo. He sings quite open and has loads of power. He was a big guy with a big voice. He sang at Dresden too. Dead at 53. Why?

    He has a masculine nobility of tone which is what makes him a held. He is not a lyric trying to sing like a held. I have listened to him for years, and if something is missing it is the legato and emotion. Unusual timbre that probably only fit in German repertoire.

  • wunderbar
