Thank you so much for posting this. Just going through some of my grandfather's papers (he was an impresario back in the 40's and 50's). I found a program from a recital Lawrence Tibbett gave in Salt Lake City, 1945. Here was the lineup: The Land of Dreams by Handel, Tobacco by Hume, I Am A Roamer Bold, Mendelssohn, Four Serious Songs of Brahms, Schumann's Arabeske, Brahms Rhapsody in B minor, Di Provenza il Mar from La Traviata, then an intermssion. He sang 6 more songs after that.

My mom studied at Julliard in nyc, and did some spearcarrying at the Met. She loved to tell us how nervous Mr. T. was sometimes. He chewed gum to get calm, and one whole section of the main curtain hid his discarded wads of gum!

SUBLIME!!!

One word for this performance- amazing! I totally see where Thomas Hampson is coming from when he talks about how charismatic Tibbett is, his acting is riveting here, so vivid and exciting. And he has a superb voice, one of the true golden voices of the twentieth century in my opinion just by powerful it is in the lower and higher register. He performs the Toreador song wonderfully, very good french as well. Do check out Metropolitan, it's very good and Tibbett is the best thing about it.

And quite a dashing actor, too!

In his attempt to describe Lawrence Tibbetts voice, the host doesn't understand
the Art of Chiaroscuro

Without doubt the greatest baritone singer to walk on any stage. Listen to his dark sound, the perfect placement, the amazing dependability of his voice that the audience loved to share! That dark sound never needed tinkering with by engineers! It was amazing! I don't think Warren, standing side by side with him, would hold up to comparison. Thanks for posting this.
