  • Ramey is the only one I've heard sing this pieces with enough dominance. Don G. was a mack, not a simp or a drooling school boy. most guys who sing this need a double dosage of testosterone.

  • True, Moll and SR are both basses but one is basso profondo while the other is a basso cantante. Basses are different. Yet I see your point but please keep in mind that the role of DG was created when baritone as a voice type wasn't even distinguished. Mozart wrote DG for a bass-baritone. I suppose now it's just the matter of taste who should be cast in the role. To me, SR has a very sensual voice. In short, I'm a woman, and I would've looked out of the window after the first verse already! :)

  • @Jextxadore So our sources disagree. I refuse to get into a wrestling match with a pig. WE'd both end up covered in excrement, but the pig would enjoy it. I'm done with you. Go puke out your faulty expertise on someone else.

  • @arpeggio1358 'CHARAKTERBAß/BAßBARITON (E to f')

    Bass-baritone

    A large voice with an extended range and a fine characterizations ability.

    The bass-baritone voice in the German theater is what one thinks of in America as the basso cantante'

    'SERIÖSERBAß/SCHWARZERBAß (C to f')

    Basso Cantabile

    A full voice with a dark color and good low voice.'

    ipasource, bass section.

  • @Jextxadore P.S I checked it out and your IPA Source does NOT call a basso cantante the same thing as a bass-baritone. Nice try. Now go away.

  • @Jextxadore And Merriam-Webster dictionary defines basso cantante as "bass voice with a well-developed upper range. It goes on to say thatit combines baritone agility with bass sonority."

  • @arpeggio1358 Far from splitting hairs — IPA Source defines a basso cantante as another term for bass-baritone (E2-F4 (e.g. Ramey)), while a basso cantabile is a "seriöserbaß" (C2-F4 (e.g. Siepi)).

  • @dc0nn The term I learned is basso cantante. I suspect we're splitting hairs.

  • @arpeggio1358, i think you mean basso cantabile.

  • Splendid sound, little depth.
