Heroic tenor John O'Sullivan (1877-1955) singing O muto asil from his signature role, Arnoldo in Rossini's William Tell. Amazingly, O'Sullivan sang this role well over 200 times right up to the end of his career.

  • is this guys irish then hes my great grand father

  • E stona meno di Lauri Volpi

  • He was a favourite singer of James Joyce. Recommendation enough. Real heroic sound.

  • WOW AWESOME!!!!!!!

  • The problem is that Rossini wrote this for Heroic Tenors and not leggiero.

    The problem with drawing that comparison is that O'Sullivan has really shoddy equipment to sing into and record and only one take in which to do it. We would need to hear a comparable instance between the two to make an accurate statement. This guy is a power house, and I cannot believe that he opted to take a breath before hitting that c- THAT is difficult to do!

  • OMG WOW!!!!!!

  • there are so few recordings of this tenor... or, at least, I know just this and may be other 2 or 3 arias... really sad... great voice and great technique

  • by far! Totally agree

  • Sublime Grazie .

  • Much better sung by Juan Diego Floréz
