Robert Merrill lends his incredibly rich, gorgeous voice to Verdi's wonderful melodic line in "Il Balen" from Verdi's Il Trovatore. If there has ever been a more beautiful voice, I cannot imagine it.

  • For me and I saw Merrill many times he had the most beautiful baritone of them all IMO but Warren in Verdi especially seemed more emotional and into the role but he was not really as lyric so they are very different but both my Favorites for different reasons.

  • As the late Bobby Short sometimes said, "Not to die for, but to LIVE for!" My favorite of all male singers; there is no contest. I was lucky enough to hear him in person late in his career, and he was still very, very good! And today, June 4th, is Merrill's birthday, so celebrate and listen to THAT VOICE!

  • Stupenda voce e stupendo cantante ...grazie

  • absolutely wondrous

  • Einfach unglaublich ! ! !

  • I was privileged to see Robert Merrill and Jan Pearce in Rigoletto many years ago - I still have that libretto and will never ever forget it - Merrill seems to transcend technique and absolutely owns whatever part he's singing. IMO this one is especially wonderful

  • Does anyone have or know where I can find the lyrics to this piece? I want to audition for my college choir with it.

  • GLORIOUS OPEN THROAT TECHNIQUE as taught by DOUGLAS STANLEY.

  • Gran Cantante, un Artista esplendido; La hermosura de su voz, la tersura, de

    la misma, se consustancia con un gran talento tanto, interpretativo, como, mu-

    sicalmente. Vedaderamente Magnifico.

  • @Kushami17 thanks! will check it out

  • @ShawDAMAN I've sent some links to you as a personal message. Let me know that you think. :)

  • @Kushami17 AH. Interesting haha. Gaston is one of my favorite disney characters (for laughs that is- his boastfulness about himself tickles me, lol.) I recall the singing being good but being a die hard opera fan I never really listened to him from the standpoint of the connoisseur.. ;P feel free to share some links if you like.
