For this scene... there is Pinza, and there are the rest of them.
He was sixty when he recorded this. The phrase "ya Tsar yescho" goes only to an E-natural, but compare the thin braying of so many basses on this note to the full-throated bellow of Pinza. Amazing.

He wanted to sing it in Russian, but only if everyone else learned it in Russian too. The Met couldn't afford to ask that of the chorus in 1939.
