The truly great Calvin Marsh in his prime. And to think that Bing only heard him as a secondary baritone. Anyone with ears can hear that this is a baritone of the highest ranking. The Met had many great baritones in the 50's and 60's. The tops were Warren, Merrill, and Marsh.
What a glorious voice and wonderful piece. I am a Music Director in a larger Catholic Church in the Northeast. My tenor soloist is performing this on Sunday, May 14, 2011 at my church.
