in 1979.. there were 10 Met "winners"... I was one. Bravo, bob!
-
I Love it!!!! His voice is so strong! :)
-
I think his voice isn't well caught in the clip.
-
Quite nice. He is not at all a lyric baritone.
-
I was there, he's mah dad :3
-
He's a very good singer, i think he may have just been overdoing it a little because this aria is basically boderline shouting anyway, he just crossed that line. but i dont think that should be indicative of him as a singer.
-
In my humble opinion, this is a lyric baritone pushing his voice to the extreme to try to sound like the Verdi baritone he is not! This is neither a healthy nor beautiful tone production
-
I sang opposite Bob in Faust. He was Valentin and I was Wagner - Michigan Opera Theatre in 1981. I just remember how huge and wonderful his sound was. His high notes were as great as any baritone. He was alos so good looking that he aw a matinee idol during that produciton. Remember, hw won the Met Auditions in 1979 - back when they had only ONE WINNER!
-
he is just yelling, there is a type of vocal placement that he is using to help project the voice, but he is really overdoing it to maximize his volume. Idiot! you cannot lose the beauty and integrity of the sound for the sake of volume only. there should be a balance

I can't believe that this guy is being so severely criticised. I think that he is a very good baritone, singing dramatically. I also don't believe that just certain size voices should sing certain roles in opera. If you can manage the tesatura, sing the aria. Chaliapin was first laughed out of town by the critics. They eventually had to eat their words. McFarland is, at the least, a very good singer. If you can do better, then criticise.

I know this comment is way old but I agree with you. Pavarotti sang some Dramatic Roles early in his career because his technique could handle it. I wouldn't recommend that to anybody else however.
