Martti never did Wotan and yes,he was still finnish,very short before the winter war!
-
Yes, but Boris Christoff....
-
Grazie..bellissimo!!!
Roberto.

@BorisGodunov and he did Hunding as well, with Karajan
-
That's true, he didn't sing Wotan but he sang Fasolt, Hunding, Fafner and Hagen. And he was 6'7" but I'd guess that was without shoes;) ...and on stage he was absolutely riveting.
-
@vickersman I don't think Talvela ever sang Wotan... do you have any information on that? He's definitely more of a Fafner, Fasolt and Hagen.
-
- Hoch ja, zwar aber nicht zu hoch! Es gelingt ihm, auch die hoechste Toene ganz glaenzend zu singen, in dieser Bearbeitung, die fuer ihn selbst gemacht war.
-
Gutes Russisch,aber Tonart ist für einen Bass zu hoch!
-
Magnificent!
He's Finnish, not Russian!

A Karl Marx 'double'.What a voice-such sadness that he died so young.He must have been incredible on stage at 6 foot 9 inches tall.He was Wotan and Boris...thanks for this upload-it's a little treasure.
