If you are a singer by profession, and therefore understand the physical process of singing this kind of repertoire, you realise that this is, on every level, as good as it gets. If there was to be Singer of the World competition, and all of the singers in history could compete, I would lay my money on Herlea taking first prize, because it lacks absolutely nothing, even offers more than we could ever expect. I am truly grateful to have discovered him through YouTube. Many thanks to the poster...

This is the best interpretation I ever heard...the very particular timbre accompanied by that velvety legato to die for (and many,many other qualities of this voice) put Herlea in the "genius" class. Some other names are mentioned here, with a clear intention of comparison...all I can say is: I feel sorry for their ears. Pavarotti is the standard for tenorial voice and Herlea for the baritonal voice
Thanks to youtube to make it possible this kind of posting.

Alice, Pavarotti is NOT the standard for a "tenorial" voice. He pales in comparason to the true greats, such as Caruso, Bjoerling, and Gigli. I don't understand this cult of personality around him. Maybe you were enamored by his clutching of that hankerchief. Domingo has a richer and more powerful voice than he. saw him once live at the Met with Sutherland in Traviata and compared to Sutherland one could hardly hear him.

ah mon diieu! What a technic, what a warm voice!
Bravo maestro Herlea!

not one of the best! THE BEST!

The voice, the magesterial singing, and the beguiling tear in the voice make this an unforgettable rendition. Simply one of the best!

I don't know for sure, but somewhere in the sixties I figure

It is true that his voice darkened and got more mature as he grew older, but as to Tito Gobbi topping Herlea's rendition....well as an actor yes, but as far as singing, and the high notes are concerned i don't think so. Gobbi's high notes don't come out, they don't break through, it is as if they remained somewhere in the back. Remember though, that this is just my opinion, i don't want to start a fight with anybody. :)
