I would say to all actual baritones, especially to the young ones....do not thin out too much by diminishing support, on the contrary, anchor instead every tone two hands below your navel. Like Herlea is doing it. Deep down your body! Maintain the bari- tone! Bari meaning dark! Bravo once again to Herlea, of course!
Such beautiful music, such art! and such a nasty story! Verdi seemed to specialize in passion vs duty conflicts, and took pains to show all the players' little motivations. Who's the weakest link, the king who had such an eclipsing father, the Princess Elizabeth, a slave to duty, Eboli, who *will* be queen, or young Hamlet, er, Carlos? The Church strides through it all, pollardng, heading off and burning as if there had never been a Teutoberg. Posa has a thankless job to do - for Flanders?

Absolutely amazing-he makes this, one of the most tricky arias, sound like a beautiful walk in a lovely park!
What a voice!!! Which four 'experts' clicked dislike???? The way he approaches the top is even more impressive than the top itself!

Nicolae Herlea is the prince of baritones, one of the greatest Verdian baritones of all times!

agree, in case the soprano I have other candidates also the other categories complete and we can put the others in behind these, what a rich list

best high notes ever:
bass: sam ramey
baritone: nicolae herlea
tenor: franco corelli (no competition here)
contralto/mezzo: Cecilia Bartoli
Soprano: Edda Moser or Birgit Nilson
*that's my opinion at least, let me know what you think ;P
