Enregistrement Deutsche Grammophon, 1961. Renato Anckarström: Ettore Bastianini. Orchestra e Coro del Teatro alla Scala. Gianandrea Gavazzeni. Photo: Fayer, Wien.
Bastianini, Warren, McNeil, Merrill, Gobbi ... all of these were wonderful singers and artistes, but the claim that they were in some way or manner BETTER than the current singers of the late 20th and early 21st centuries is plain nonsense. Nucci, Cappucilli, Milnes, Hvorostovsky, Hynninen, Quilico, Hampson and the list can go on and on and they ALL have a place in the annals of time in the operatic world. Even someone like Keanlyside has his place and is a wonderful and consummate performer.
Whay God does not give more voices to us like the one of Bastianini?

Those you mention will also be called great 20-50 years from now. I would add Manuguerra and... well, I better stop.
