it's kitschy so what!? i was thinking the same, now we cant sing like this and it sometimes misses the fun of it. And this is such a poor opera. And we cant sing with the glissando's, from too much to nothing, well the italian is very wrong ahah.

@subicbrat That's the problem with your assessment. You're not an Opera fan. This is a serious aria, not an exercise for tonsils. I'm not knocking Schmidt's ability. I'm knocking his poor taste.
-
@wetering777 Yeah, I know. That's why Schmidt was so much more popular than Caruso and Bjorling.
You obviously don't know tackiness from brilliance.

@wiseroldfart I wish you had such a "bad taste" as Joseph Schmidt. In your writing,..you have it in any case.

@LorentzElena32 But you have? When and where was that?



I think listening him is a humble and respectful way to keep alive his memory, and make a statement against all dictatoric regimes.

He passes my personal 'tear test' ..........I can't type coz I'm weeping at the sheer beauty...................................J. Christ help us all in this awful stark world of terrorism & deceit; gimme a mountain, a bunch of grapes, a sweet innocent maiden to represent ALL mankind's potential GOOD within this WONDERFUL world PLUS GREAT TENOR Voices to focus us on where we COULD go IF we all had more beauty in our miserable souls. STOP.
