Eccellente!

[AlenaD92]

I think he's just amazing! :)

[Umbriaga]

bravo!

[numetutelare]

Bravo ma qui l'emissione a volte é sporca... per il resto grande tecnica

[violier55]

Impressive ! My favourite version however is the one by José van Dam (live Paris - 1972 with Vasso Papantoniou and Carerras) : more ominous and without superfluous ornamentations in the cabaletta.

Ramey, with exquisite breath control excels in this lovely cabaletta by Donizetti. Bel canto at its finest.

I had the great pleasure of seeing Sam Ramey twice at the Lyric Opera in Chicago.....first as Mefistofeles in Gounod's Faust and again as Scarpia in Tosca. What a great, great voice!

[operablogger]

The cabaletta is just about the best bass piece Donizetti ever wrote!

[Cantormatis]

Knockout singing, as usual.

[dfush]

not bad

What a gorgeous man! What a gorgeous voice! Thank you for this. I was fortunate enough to see him in the glorious production of "Mefostofeles", stunning!

[arpeggio1358]

What splendid singing; great breath control and technique.

This recording has long been a favorite of mine. When you like basses, you can come across some wonderful music that all the people who are listening to tenors and sopranos don't hear, unless they go to the opera, and then they tend to forget what the bass sang. Now, tenor and soprano fans, don't get mad at me. The tenors and sopranos get to sing some pretty amazing stuff, too.

@bassfanne45

I usually don't like tenors (at least no lyric tenors) they tend to sound wimpy and 2 dimensional. basses and bari's sound elegant and rich. there are a number of exeptions tho (Vinay, Corelli, Giacomini etc), but as a whole, I'm glad I'm a baritone. as far as females go I have a (slight) preference to sopranos, particularly heroic, pure sounding sopranos like sutherland. sometimes tho, I crave the smooth, dark, sexy timbre of a mezzo soprano =)

[mozart200657]

Simply amazing!

[AkhmedSync]

Win.

[Arashi110]

That's gotta be the best "Vieni, la mia vendetta" ever. Period. And what a E-flat!!!
