@TheClevelandSteamer I couldn't have said it better myself; some people are just too close minded to understand and appreciate modern artists...

Listening to a voice like this ... transporting

@dicebagdaryl umm I love Kanye West, he is one of the most accessible and creative artists today. I also love Verdi's operas. I consider myself part of the "general" public. Maybe the real problem is that there are too many elitist snobs out there who know what "true" art is supposed to be like. Maybe the "general" public associates opera and classical music with prudish, snobs who look down on said "general" public, thus making it a negative association.

@NoirOrchestre Ghiaurov is considered to be the greatest opera bass ever lived along with Siepi. I personally don't like him. My personal limit. He might not be the darkest voice, but the man was undoubdetly a bass: he sang very naturally and openly. I agree that Fiesco is a role where you might want to hear more vocal heaviness and dark sounds: it is usually associated with basso profondo repertoire.

@MrMooseman485 Because the general public are tasteless robots who like Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Kanye West, and the like and completely LACK taste in true art.

I will never understand why videos such as this one only have 25,000 some views while 'Friday' has close to 90 million.

¡¡¡El Maravilloso y Exquisito Ghiaurov!!!! Un Gran Bajo, Uno De Los Mejores Del SigloXX.

Junto con Hines, Sieppi, y algunos otros mas, el es de mis Preferidos. Una Gran Artista

com Un Gran Cantante, con una personalidad y un estilo muy definidos. Realmente Lo

admiro por todo concepto.

[NoirOrchestre]

For me he's more a Boccanegra than a Fiesco...

@34fgsfgsdtu48w7qtaqt And now that he and Siepi are gone, who will sing these wonderful parts? God must be happy: he can hear two among the greatest bass voices singing every day.
