Rudolf Schock sings 'La fleur que tu m'avais jetée' (aria de Don José o aria de La Flor). Carmen. Bizet.

Rudolf Schock (September 4, 1915 -- November 13, 1986) was a German tenor.

Rudolf Schock was a tenor with a wide repertory from operetta to Lohengrin, recording among others opera and lieder, doing television, radio and film work. Slim and handsome, he made many films.

His voice falls almost ideally into the heldentenor fach, but Schock explored roles slanted more towards a spinto tenor with effectiveness. Colored distinctly with a rich baritonal quality, Schock's instrument demonstrates impressive flexibility in range and a heroic ring even in its upper reaches. Schock first burst on the scene after World War II in 1947. He was one of the first Germans to sing at Covent Garden in 1949. He sold over 3 million records and his German films made him almost a superstar of his day.

Schock's most impressive performances include the roles of Paul in Die Tote Stadt (Korngold), and multiple Puccini principles. (from WIKIPEDIA)

@sincrotto Questa registrazione e stata fatta dopo il "prime" della sua voce. Non era cosi giovane. Cmq, dopo cantare Wagner e tutto il repertorio drammatico, anche dopo una lunga carriera, forse non molto fresca la voce ma ancora poteva cantare relativamente bene e senza tremolo come tanti cantanti che hanno tentato fare lo stesso e finito senza voce e un tremolo enorme. Buona giornata! :)

Some people say that it is very easy for Germans to learn French, they say that they can learn the pronunciation very easily.

Quante forzature nel registro medio, dove scompaiono gli armonici. Il sib finale è forzato, non trovate? Credevo molto meglio.
