  • Grandissimo Maestro Ramey! Il miglior Milord di sempre!

    Ma...sembra a me o indossa il Frac con i pantaloni a zampa di elefante?

  • And the winner is...

    Samuel Ramey...

    Intergalactic Bass

  • Great voice and nice man, saw him often at lyric opera in Chicago on stage- and in the house as a listener he has been living in Chicago and is from the midwest originally.

  • Splendida voce!

  • unglaublich!

  • In this opera he sings everything from a bass low E to a tenor high A. This is without doubt the greatest human voice ever. 

    Also the greatest singer ever. I have heard him perform a low C in concert! Ridiculous.

  • I don't wan't to dissapoint You but there's no high A in this aria (of course), "only" a bunch of high F's.... However fantastic tecnical singing.

  • No disappointment here. In this opera , not this aria! Listen to the very last note of the encore to "Il Viaggio a Reims". Ramey hits the high A there. 5:26 of the encore with Abbado. It is here on YouYube. He songs from E to A in this opera. I have heard him sing a low C in concert and D flats at the MET. You can listen to me sing on Youtube as well.

  • A sex symbol singing Rossini in the most powerful way. S U P E R B

  • Certified Intergalactic!

  • this man can sing anything

  • @ah332 Nadie puede, ni debe, cantar todo

  • @anabusca stop taking all the comments so literally and seriously, jesus

  • Is (was) there any other bass since Rossini's times who could sing his music SO well?

    An outstanding performance. THE Ramey!

  • Bass is better than tenor. Just my personal opinion.

  • @Dogaradodia No, no ES mejor un bajo que un tenor. Cada voz tiene su encanto, otra cosa es que a Ud. le guste mas una u otra...

  • From now on, Samuel Ramey is my official bass.

  • Almighty Bass!

  • Your voice and tecnica is very fantastic !

    ECCEZZIONALE !!!

  • Bravo, it is simply fantastic.

  • Its a pity that Rossini couldn't live long enough to hear Ramey. But he died before his 18th birthday. (see "Pirates of Penzance" if this remark conuses you.)

    Rossini's great basses were Galli and Beneddeti. I'm certain that Ramey is better. Ramey is like Callas or Horne. He redefined what Bel Canto sounded like.

  • Ramey at his best...

    BRAVO!

  • Was there - is there - anyone better than Ramey singing this rep?

  • Glorious!

  • Wow! Ramey at the height of his considerable powers...the Pol Plancon of the 20th Century! And a surprise castanet solo from Montserrat Caballe (at c. 5 min) with Abbado keeping it all bubbling along! Champagne singing!

    Mille grazie for sharing this...This Onegin deserves a Breguet!

  • Fascinating.Thanks for posing.

  • meraviglioso bravo baritono, bella musica Rossiniana se non sbaqglio. grazie di avermelo proposto.

  • What fun. Ramey at his best. Bravo Ramey! Bravo Rossini

  • I have heard this clip before, but oh how glorious Sam is here!

  • I remember seeing this program on cable years ago ... is it avail in vhs or dvd ? No one sings this aria as well as Samuel Ramey.

  • I'd like to know the occasion too. Is it some sort of Rossini Gala? And the audience is all in 1800's garb...

    Ramey does a great job here.
