  • @tmtstudio1983 I completely do follow your statement, and I'm happy about the high level of expertise in this discussion here. Thomas Hampson certainly can sing some tenor arias, just for fun. But: He's a (intelligent) baritone from tessitura, looks, stature, character and so on. Actually, he's Thomas Hampson with a voice that fits very best into the "light" (?) baritone Fach. I don't agree that baritones need to sound overmuffled & throaty. The article you mentioned is superb !

  • @Yitzhakhazak Well not all baritones have to sound like Robert Merrill, Dmitri Hvorostovsky, Leonard Warren or other Verdi Baritiones to be baritones. For example Fischer-Dieskau sounds even more tenorish than Thomas Hampson but he is a lyric baritone.

    You may read an article written by David Jones that he mentioned about distinguishing the baritones with the tenorish sound and the true tenors, I think what he said is right: voiceteacher com slash vocal_fach dot html

  • Hampson has a beautiful voice and an excellent technique. My question is if he is a baritone? In my ear he lacks that dark tone that follows with the whole register of a baritone. High tones yes, wonderful. His low tones lack body. The French have a very light baritone called Martin and I think he is one. Melchior began as a baritone and so did a number of others. I hope I am wrong! I will listen to more of his singing.

  • Thank you for posting this!
