  • Superb.TY Rowna or posting this gem.

  • @paulostroff99  You are very welcome :))

  • wow...what a sweet bass voice.

  • @dasteufelhund I love that his English is so tasty. He is German, but the pronunciation here is gorgeous.

  • What an extremely beautiful voice. Too bad he rarely performs on opera stage. I know he did Amfortas, but I could think a few roles he'd rock in. Rigoletto? Alberich perhaps? I'd even imagine the seven baritone roles of Death in Venice - they're creepy but need a great voice.

  • @Sieglinde84 I have heard his health is not good. To me, he has one of the golden voice today.

  • @cabwire It is all about resonance. If you see a violin and a cello for instance, they have different size, and hence different sound. A broad neck with an open pharynx, makes a huge sound. But it doesn't make one musical of course. The instrument might be good, but it does not compensate for lack of talent.

  • @ragnarkisten

    What does one's features have to do with the gift of music?

    His talents could only have come from God.

  • mighty and smooth as the River itself ...

  • @cantorandopera -Those types of peoples are rarely healthy,and for the most part expire at rather young ages.

  • If you pay close attention to his facial features, he kind of looks like a white negro. I am sure that has influence on the way he sings. He really does those negro spirituals and the such, sooo magnificient. Singing like sports, its much about anathomy...
