I can only find one fault on him. ....he was always shadowed by Melchior. Had he been born in 1921 instead on 1901 he would have been a super star.

@unethicaldenier Melchior had the most freely produced voice with a clarion ring no other heldentenor has come close to matching. As good as Max unquestionable was, he sounds laboured compared to Melchior. Listen to both men's recording of Nothung! Nothung! & hear whose voice rings the more freely. Melchior would start some Wagner roles feeling tired (because of too much partying) & 5 hours of singing later would be completely fresh & able to sing the role all over again. That's technique!

@antfreire That was not a fault,but rather an accident of birth,. He was still a superstar.
What a beautiful voice - and so exuberant and vivid.

@vstasov I agree, as He was inebriate with the emotions the character is suffering from...and aslo inebriate with his own voice...

@maxlorenz24 I can't stop listening to Lorenz. The videos you've uploaded are stupendous. And his performance in the live Ariadne auf Naxos, performed for R. Strauss's 80th birthday, conducted by Böhm, is also stunning. He may be the greatest Bacchus I've ever heard.

@jkircher314 Thank you. I think we are reaching our goal of keeping a fine singer in the collective memory of mankind.
