Earnest Symmons sings "Credo in un Dio crudel"

The first-rate baritone Earnest Symmons sings Iago's Credo from Otello. He began formal training at age 5, at age 7 he won the 1 st place medal as a boy soprano in Victoria Canada.
Afterwards he continued his studies along with giving recitals in Canada until age 20 when he moved to New York and began to study with Frank La Forge, who was also Lawrence Tibbett's teacher. Symmons met Tibbett when he was twenty and received the autograph which is shown in this vid. Unfortunately his professional singing career never took hold, he did however stand in for Guiseppe De Luca as Amonasro in Aida at one point.

This Credo was recorded in the early 1930's when Symmons was in his early twenties.
His son Mike is also on youtube under the name operalament.

Enjoy this wonderful baritone!
