I was just thinking that with this boyish, enthusiastic, exuberant sound he must have been perfect for Siegfried. Yet I don't see any recordings on Youtube of this role. Do you have any? If so, please do post, OK?
@canzonettasullaria He was an excellent Florestan. To those of a purely interpretive turn of mind Jon Vickers must appeal strongly but King is one of the greatest voices to sing it. Love his Wagner too.
Loved this excerpt. Thanks so much.
