Anton Rubinstein. Demon's aria (for baritone)

[64sembra]

This recording makes the great Chaliapin sound like a high baritone. It should have been played at a slower speed.

[EvaHartwig]

Хватит ли дыхания даже такому певцу, как Шаляпин, при более медленном темпе?

[EvaHartwig]

Could You compare some variants of this record?

Shaliapin was a basso cantante and sung such high bass and baritone parts as Demon, Ruslan, Nilakanta... Igor, Vladimir Galizky - and Konchak (in "Prince Igor"). Boris, Pimen and Varlaam (in "Boris Godunov")!

It was more to marvel, than to doubt.

[silverbud]

How absurd to think he sings high for the speed of the record! If you transposed only a quart above, his voice would sound like a mouse!

THIS IS SIMPLY THE GREAT ШАЛЯПИН!

c'est beau! je ne comprends rien - mais c'est beau!

Dämon tröstet Tamara, die um ihren gefallenen Bräutigam trauert.

Der Bösewicht verlockt sie -- er, «freier Geist, Sohn des Firmaments», führe sie zur höchsten Macht und Liebe.
