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.....

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.

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

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

This comment has received too many negative votes show
I am thankful this kind of loud screaming has dissapeared from the opera scene.
Ugly and painful sound.

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.
