Good summary =P

You are a mean spirited little fellow. If you did your research you could see what the critics said about Shore. Many of the best reviews are printed on his web site. As to historical perspective, Mr. Shore's colleague, Jerome Hines, did that, along with the other critics. It's fine to have different opinions about singers. What caused me to comment on you was your mean-spirited-ness. You can believe Gobbi was the greatest baritone if you want to. Who cares? But you don't have to be so hot.

I love this aria, and Milnes sings it wonderfully. I am starting to get tired of the criticisms against Milnes, not that he is being criticised but because some people are expressing themselves in a very opinionated way. True, this is not Milnes at his very best, but charisma wise and musicality wise he is very compelling here. Also calling him king of all who sing flat is unfair and completely off base. In 1976's Tosca and in 1971's Rigoletto recording, both superb, he's dead on in pitch mostly

It's great to have all of these videos of all of these great singers.

I just love this voice, he got what technique as a baritone you might need, a lot of musicality and a tremendous voice. I miss him a lot

@MAR3668 Nice to hear that-I know he was at a Met event this spring honoring baritones including even more of a favorite of mine MacNeil Actually Milnes is not my favorite I just hate as I've said this lack of respect for him Since Milnes' prime I've yet to hear a big voiced soaring baritone voice...and that is saying a lot about him

[MAR3668]

@Labienus Sherrill Milnes was in Blacksburg Virginia on Monday as a Special Guest to the showing of the 1976 Tosca, and what I saw and found out I hadn't

known that in Maestro Milnes credit that he is a student of Opera. Between the second and third acts, he came to the front of the stage, and talked about singers

and roles, and I know by this that in his day he got into the skin of his roles and did research on them. also when saying who is the greatest baritone, don't forget

Bastiannini also

@operadirector2009 Why do you bring up Joe Shore? How is he relevant here? He may have been talented, but there are many talented D-list, regional opera singers! Without his endless self-promotion on YT and the five or six devotees (such as yourself) he would never be mentioned. Also, he has horrible comments directed towards him because he invites them with his egocentric and offensive manner. There are greater singers who have been robbed of a career than Joe Shore.
