strange. I read that basse chantante was the word used in France for baritones, before the word baryton gained favor, and for example, all the Donizetti roles for baritones (the king in La Favorite) are for "basse chantante".
-
Notice how he colors his vowels so that he manages to sneer without ever sacrificing the line! A "boulevardier" of a Mephisto, but that's how the devil manages to make himself attractive after all. In this case we see him as he is......bitter.
-
It's such a pity the old recordings only really captured high resonance. In modern recordings we would hear the sinisterness that must have accompanied Plancon's elegance in this interpretation.
-
In fact, that's what you'd expect the Devil to have. He is a fallen Archangel, after all. They sing well in Heaven.
-
In my opinion, the finest recording of this aria ever made, and totally in keeping with the style demanded by Gounod. Plancon is probably one of two or three greatest bassos on record, and perhaps of all time. Thanks, Doug.

Best male opera singer that France ever had!

A reminder of a vanished style. Why shouldn't the Devil have charm and know how to sing!

I'd kill to hear him sing some Mozart. The catalogue aria, for example. Outstanding posts, all of them! And who did it? CurzonRoad again... Thanks.
