  • How odd you should say that. It is actually quite a lyrical sound and amazingly authentic and real to my ears. No buffing up or thickening. Truly odd you should say that. To each his own, I guess.

  • Vickers at this point perhaps hadn't perfected his trademark emotional depth/intensity and acting, but he was already a thoroughly complete singer, listen to the beautiful dynamic contrast at 0:43 and the way he sails into those phrases at 0:48 Parlar non vuoi...Balen tremendo! Dal mio rivale!...intendo... intendo! Exciting stuff! I WISH he had recorded more verdi.....

  • @maxhansendk

    You're joking, right???

  • Although I don't particularly like him in this, he was the Aeneas, Don Jose, Otello, Peter Grimes, and Siegmund of his day. Any vocal faults were more than compensated by his powerful acting. Kind of liked his Canio and Tristan too.

  • what an awful soprano. half of the sounds she makes are completely wrong. and she became a famous teacher? omg.

  • WHAT YEAR?????? where? filmed for TV?

  • WHAT YEAR IS THIS PLEASE? FROM THE CBC? THANK YOU!

  • @cleanears

    Giacomini and Kaufmann are around today, and they're wonderful in my opinion. still, most of the tenors around today suck hahahaha

  • @kmillard

    much better than most singers of german repertoire anyway. some of those Wagnerians I'm like "sure, you have a great voice, but what good is it if you can't even sing legato?!"

  • Es increible ver q ya poseia esa tremenda voz suya siendo tan joven

  • Vickers sound sgreat, but is made up to look like Moe Howard !
