Tosca is such a gem: the music, the words, the plot, the characters...I particularly LOVE the Te Deum because it shows exactly how EVIL Scarpia is. What better way to show that, than by contrasting him with what people would consider the most pure, a religious service with the children. And in between that purity, Scarpia. Not just thinking to himself about work, but machinating how to gain control over Tosca. Complete EVIL versus Total Innocence accompanied by magnificent music. Ah...how evil.

This might be the best song I've ever heard

anche Milnes e un grande Scarpia come Wixell.

They don't make them like this any more...just watched Bryn Terfel trying to sing this. He acts it very well to be fair, but the vocal capacity falls very short of the great baritones of the past!

The voice is so powerful and dramatic. Perfect diction. Excellent stage presence. Real Scarpia. He's the best. He was my inspiration in my Music Academy times. Anyway no one can be like him. Eric Schlesinger (ex-operasinger Baritone).

He's definitely the best since Gobbi. And he makes Scarpia hot.

@bence778 You're welcome.
I love him as Scarpia! He's so evil he could make Vader wet his pants.

My God, what a magnificent voice Milnes had in his prime!
