Having heard this incredible voice several times on the opera stages, I believe he was one of the greatest baritones of all times.

@rexeterna Maravillosa y calida voz. Gran Tenor.

@TommyHaegin Thanks for the tip with Renato Bruson ... he sings wonderful in that Torino 1977's recording. But for me his voice sounds a bit too impeccably for the role of Macbeth. Nevertheless one of the best Verdi baritons of last century.

Well Warren is Warren, but please guys, also listen to the rendition of Renato Bruson in the clip from Torino 1977 (also here on YT)... :-)

Leonard Warren, for me the best Macbeth I know. Just the correct mixture of beautiful singing and a bit of bestiality in his voice.

The finest baritone to this day!

just gorgeous singing

As a teenager I heard Leonard Warren sing this aria on the day of the broadcast. I knew then that this was a magnificent singer, and I have not changed my opinion in more than fifty years. There have been great baritones since Warren, but no one has ever surpassed him. Verdi, himself, would have been thrilled with Warren's voice, although he would have never been happy with the interpolation of the A flat. Warren spoiled me. I am disappointed without that note.

I was fortunate to have heard Warren many times at the Met in all his greatest roles. No baritone before or since has been able to surpass his magnificent voice. Bravo.

@raphabenbenjamin You're out of your mind, respectfully.

@raphabenbenjamin And? Find me a better rendition of this aria maybe your comment will amount to something.
He is just singing his *heart* out with that impossibly gorgeous voice. I think I am going to faint;)
