  • The only tenor ever recorded who can sing this fiendish aria **beautifully** and not just hit the notes in a desperate shriek. Why wasn't he a bigger star?

  • He was, in Europe. Unfortunately, houses signed him to sing Wagner -- not that there's anything wrong with Wagner, but for every ten heldentenors who can sing Wagner, one can sing Strauss. I'm sure Seiffert would have sung a beautiful Bacchus, had he ever been asked to sing it. Jess Thomas and James King both could, and did, sing Strauss beautifully, but neither was recorded as der Kaiser.

    and he is still a star...

  • Not bad, as long as you keep your eyes closed. But Moser's still the best here for me. (I've only heard the great James King on Böhm's DG set, by which time his beautifully preserved high notes were a bit quiet. Jess Thomas is passionate as always but his climactic high note's a bit painful.)

  • Lord, where is my mind going? I meant James King's. I have not heard Thomas'. (Why do I confuse those two men so?)

  • Beautiful! Jess Thomas' version is also fantastic.

  • Have you heard the recent CD of Böhm conducting the Staatskapelle Dresden in Strauss opera scenes from 1938-42? Torsten Ralf sings "Falke, du wiedergefundener" and after hearing that, I'm convinced no man has been a better emperor. I wish they had recorded the entire opera.

  • Bayerische Staatsoper with Wolfgang Sawallisch conducting. TDK recording of live performance in Japan on 8 & 11 October 1992.
