Here is part 2 of 6 of the biography of American tenor Jan Peerce, "If I Were a Rich Man: The Life of Jan Peerce" made for TV in 1991. It is hosted by Issac Stern.

Many thanks to my friend who taped this off TV a few years ago and recently gave me a copy!

  • Ok...I remember reading on some video that peerce had a deep speaking voice? I don't hear that all! In fact, it sounds like he has a typical high speaking voice of a tenor.

  • Perhaps because he's quite an old man here? Listen to a video I posted called "Merrill, London, Resnik, & Peerce radio interview from 1965."

  • Can anyone deny that this was one of the great tenor voices of the 20th century? I think  not.

  • The greatest hazzan that ever lived.

  • That's possible. Ah yes, I read somewhere that the male voice drops 10-15 hz in its late 20s and early 30s and then goes up 30 hz or something in its 60s.

    Haha funny. I looked at the 1965 video and noticed I made a comment on peerce's voice. Yes, sounds deep...I think though in some of the clips in this biography - thanks for the upload! - the young peerce's speaking voice is higher. Haha I dunno...I'm just observing.

    Anyway, Peerce was a helluva tenor. Wonderful singer.

  • This is very interesting, thanks.
