The pitch in this video is a half tone sharp due to technical difficulties. I tried to fix the problem and reposted it.

  • rip cesere siepi-

  • Sounds like the pitch is a tone sharp -- maybe half a tone...

  • Procurem no Orkut por Cesare Siepi e participem da comunidade. São muitos mp3 disponíveis e procuramos pessoas com novos mp3 deste fenômeno.

  • To vonmeppen, simply cause they was respecting the every singer criteria and identity; a conduct that if you refrain to nowdays everyone that have the notes want to sing from soprano to basso profondo everything...Singers like mr. Tibbett they don't want to be a bass for a day, a category that back in his days was a very top alltime basses singig in all major opera houses.

  • I cannot see why a dark coloured baritone like Tibbett should not be able to sing this piece very well, also a Bass-Baritone like London or even van Dam. There are no low notes in it. Listen to Tibbett singing the rondeau of gounods faust! it's marvelous.

  • Go get 'em Billy! "Better artists" - c'mon! They were all great for their particular contributions to our great art.

  • None of the singers you mention had a clue about legato, or Italian style; great voices, yes, and all supreme in Russian repertoire. In Italian repertoire, Siepi was supreme. I admit that I am a sophisticated listener.

  • all real basses should be able to sing sarastro. and they usually can. hines, reizen, talvela, frick, moll, siepi and christoff (could have if they wished)

    sarastro is not an unusually low bass role and it certainly does not require a profundo. it is a quite normal bass role.

  • I would say that most of the bassos can not handle properly the lower parts of "Isis and Osiris" aria. The only perfect rendition that I heard came from Moll. Tibett's bottom was so solid that he could sing basso parts, but not profundo, of course.
