  • Spettacolare...!!

  • R.I.P.

    Thanks Maestro!

  • Cesare Siepi never ceases to amaze me

  • Rimango sempre inebetito da tanta maestria e classe...

    Siepi è stato a mio avviso il migliore.

  • Sbalorditivo!

    Spero che l'austriaca ORF decida, prima o poi, di aprire i suoi misteriosi e segretissimi archivi...

    Conservano leggendarie registrazioni sia dell'Opera di Vienna che del Festival di Salisburgo che farebbero la gioia dei melomani di tutto il mondo...

  • ...And Chaliapin was a revolutionnary artist, with a voice not as high class than Siepi but he leaves a greater mark in history, "the greatest operatic talent" for Toscanini!

  • Grande Cesare! Non ha rivali...

  • Hands down...the best Basso that ever lived. It's incredible to have such rare footage. Thank you for taking the time to correct the pitch..great job.

  • do not forget the great "Shaliyapin" from Moscow!.

  • Chaliapin was perhaps great for his time, but has easily been surpassed by many basses after him. His voice is baritone-like and rough in comparison to the bottom-rich and velvety quality of someone like Siepi.

  • While Siepi is a great basso, there is no question, but I think even he would concede that he wasn't the best. And to dismiss Shaliyapin as you did is just ignorant. They are both great artists and to try and qualify their achievements and rank them is childish.

  • I respect your views - "best" is completely overused when discussing these great artists - all great for their own reasons. Perhaps "best" is a word that should never be used without "in my opinion" following immediately after.

  • Agree, that's all because they all have their little heros to defend like in kindergarden...They should better get started to find themselves in art, there's too much of a long road to go anyweay to loose time with wh'os the best, who's the most, like our consumer based society and celebrity cult condition us to do so! The more one puts another on a piedestal the more he lowers himself, maybe at the end all thos guys that critics are just really passive!

  • @SwingShoes Sorry, but I much prefer Sam Ramey's voice in this role.

  • His voice is amazingly clear!

  • E' favoloso! Veramente eccezionale, grazie.
