Ritorno d'Ulisse - (finale p. I) - Kuhlmann, Allen

I know we seem to keep coming back to this subject, but WTF is he wearing? ;)

[interpreterr]

Ehm...white robe? ;-)

[drtmuir]

@interpreterr I can't get past the impression he is wearing my mom's nightgown. Make of that what you will.  It will probably give me weird dreams. :P

How much does Allen sound like KAUFMANN? Amazing. I had never noticed that similarity before.

[interpreterr]

Hmm, interesting observation. I wouldn't say their voices are very similar (both very distinctive, IMHO), but maybe there's something to it...

Anyway, I'd love to hear Kaufmann as UIisse one day. I think he'd pe perfect voice-wise and acting-wise

[jkaise]

Listen to him at 1:40. I find the similarity uncanny. Perhaps it speaks to the baritonal, full-throated quality of Jonas' singing. I love both of these artists. And, by the by, I still hate this orchestration.

[interpreterr]

Hmm again. You're right, there's some similarity in that phrase ("Così del tuo consorte,

così dunque t'appressi") and it's probably to do with how both singers produce sound in that area of their voices. I still think, though, that both voices are very distinctive (I like them both too!). And, by the way, I still quite like the orchestration :D

[interpreterr]

Glad you like it.
