@saagua1953 I think I can understand why, but the difference in the house between the two is quite immense. Kaufmann has a beautiful voice, but not the cut/carry necessary. They placed him too far back on the stage at the MET, and honestly, his Siegmund was disappointing, unlike his Cavardossi, which is really pushing it for him. What's amazing is listening to Voght sing this stuff with the cut he has. No weight in the voice whatsoever, but he sounds huge in the back of the house

@000Zeke No dear.

I almost prefer Kaufman singing this. He is softer, more lyrical, not so heroic. But able to raise the volume when necessary.

@2920Thomas das war nicht melchior, das war slezak, der für solche scherze berühmt/berüchtigt war! er soll auch während einer rheingold-vorstellung kurze vor ihrem auftritt der sängerin der erda ins ohr geflüstert haben "willst du harte oder weiche eier?", worauf diese einen lachkrampf bekam, da ihr auftritt mit den worten "WEICHE wotan weiche!" beginnt! :D

Magnificent.Such a gift.That which came from above and within was 95% of Melchior and was ,in my opinion,beyond compare.Perhaps some might wish to critizise the 5% that was pure Lauritz, but not I.Wagner without Melchior is like bread without jam and beer without froth.

is he still alive?

@muckermann1 No, this is the great Melchior. Melchior's voice is unique and unmistakable.

Melchior was probably the greatest heldentenor, but we have several young up and coming tenors today, who can benefit from these wonderful YouTube posts. I am thinking of Jonas Kaufman, Simon O'Neil and Johan Botha. All of these individuals have sung the lead in Lohengrin recently to great acclaim. (They have also sung exciting Siegmund performances as well.)

Das war Slezak!

@federricoilgrande Condivido pienamente, da 70 anni! Insuperabile, anzi, inavvicinabile. E' l 'Eroe' in carne ed ossa...e sopratutto, in voce!
