Magnifique timbre, diction excellente. ça traine un peu, mais l'esprit méphistophélique est bien là !

@paulostroff99 O gosh, how the mouth waters to contemplate Vickers and London in Otello . . . holy cow!
-
@stevevandien -Better still would have been Jon Vickers and George London-both Canadians and Vickers best role,doing those honours.

London was a true bass-baritone. His voice was large and rich, well suited to dramatic roles; although his comfortable range (two octaves from low F or G to high G) did not encompass most Verdi parts besides Amonasro. He was, however, comfortable in roles such as Scarpia, Escamillo, the Dutchman, the Walkure Wotan, Boris, Amfortas -- that's off the top of my head. Also Mephisto in "Faust;" he was probably quite capable of Boito's opera as well, but don't know if he ever sang it --

And what a lovely response to my Comment - Thank You! It's so nice when Comments are so appreciated and makes it all worth-while. On re-listening just, I would most definitely have to agree; it has to be HOT ! : - ) Thanks again!

What a WONDERFUL description of this great artist's voice! I'd only suggest that the drink of chocolate be HOT, rather than warm:). Bottom line, London's voice was both voluminous AND beautiful. That combination is pretty dang rare --

LOVELY! So rich and dark... His voice is like a warm drink of chocolate... Thanks for Posting.

If London haven't suffered the paralyzed vocal cord, he would have been the Wotan, Iago, Scarpia and (possibly) the Macbeth and Falstaff of his generation --

I completely agree! There's a recording somewhere on here of London singing Iago's 'Credo' from Otello that is simply amazing...I can't even imagine hearing the whole opera sung by him. Franco Corelli and George London together in Otello...we're doomed to wonder what could've been...
