  • @SugarTomAppleRoger Hahahhaaa!! ROFL!!! 

  • While I prefer Hermann Prey as Figaro (to me Prey is the best Figaro) Jose Van Dam has an excellent set of pipes. His voice is darker and can sound irate sometimes, but it's good overall, perfect technique and very Mozartian in style. You can hear him in the Neville Marriner Figaro recording.

  • @jondatflindo Have you heard Jay Leno singing?

  • What a colourless performance!

  • Too slow for me and lacks energy and a bit of humour... Prefer Terfel or D'Arcangelo!

  • I don't know what was with Solti by this time, but he seemed to have forgotten that there are other instruments besides the strings. Everything is drowned in a sea of violin sound (even the all-important trumped and drum parts at the end of this number), like a German Mozart performance in the '40s or '50s. Solti's audio recording made the following year has the same problem.

    Solti wasn't a bad Mozart conductor (his 2 recordings of MAGIC FLUTE prove that). But he is way too bland for FIGARO.

  • @serRudyll I don't think he was baron already here, in our country it takes some time to get a title

  • Looks like Jay Leno? Ha ha ha - YOU'RE RIGHT!

    So if Leno were bald he'd look like Van Dam?

    I have NEVER seen Van Dam this young. I think he has a magnificent voice quality. His technique and his acting are non pareil. I just LOVE his voice. I'd know his voice anywhere. Now Merrill, Cappucilli, Hampson, etc. are all MAJORLY fantastic. Despite the "two" tenors in 'La Maestro Musique' having the same voice (sung by the same person,) in life no two are the same. He is unique to my ear. Special.
