  • True artist.... Never can forget such giants!!!

  • @1Victorinus

    Yeah, I understand. I'm a big fan of Mr. Vickers, and I highly doubt his ego was larger than his voice. I appreciate that he's trying to get a message across in this last recital of his. But that doesn't mean I should change YOUR mind.

  • @SageFlores I was with him on the stage, but why does that mean I should show more respect? He is not above criticism. He had a magnificent voice and, I repeat, his ego was larger than his voice.

  • @1Victorinus

    If you were with him on stage you should show more respect.

  • Happy birthday to the greatest tenor of them all!

  • I never heard a singer talk so much during a recital. Vickers had a great voice ( I sang in Otello with him in Miami in the 70's). He was an excellent Wagnerian, however, his huge ego was always apparent. All this unnecessary pontification is testimony to that ego. I'm amazed no one in the audience yelled out, "Shut up and start singing".

  • Jon is pointing out what can keep a singer grounded: a focus on sentiment first and to show secondly. This is the key to everyone of his interpretations. He is trying to find a way to express a sentiment. How he understands his music is always deep. This gives his singing a lived in quality that is unique. He is not at all Italianate and often his German is horrible. Yet he finds the thread of human understanding in sentiment: which we all "get" and admire.

  • @juadan thanks I understand now

  • @ezev8logos ...The piano is a Steinway, the violin is a Stradivarius, the music is Mozart, and the cat food is.... (laughter)...

  • what does he said when all laughed? i can't understand
