  • Terrific! Forced to belt, he is outstanding. Thank you.

  • You're welcome.

    Do you really think he's belting here ?

  • I would be grateful, if there would be a set design like this at a german oper house. I can't stand this modern Euro-Trash any longer!!!!

  • yup. this is the golden age of opera. 1925-1945.

    old bel canto + more modern style (i.e. no bleating)

    The best of both worlds.

  • There are NO BARITONES on the operatic stage today. Indeed not for a very long while

  • I simply love this; now you know why Lawrence Tibbett was so popular; his charisma just shines through.

    Feodor Chaliapin recorded this (sound only) a few years earlier; that's also just so terrific; what great talent.

  • does someone know who is wagner in this scene? his voice sounds amiliar

  • @hermanzoon

    I would be shocked if they actually transposed the scene...Tibbett had no problems with his lower register, and the difficulty of singing an A-flat instead of a G-natural would probably not be worth whatever other advantages might be gained from the transposition.

    If anything, I would assume that the recording is just a little too fast...

  • @alithecrab C'est parce qu'il faut pisser dans le bol, pas facile!!!

  • Excellent Tibbett,mais qui est Wagner?Très bien aussi!

  • I love his appearance here..nice if that kind of effect could be achieved on the stage!

  • @wattever333 You mean instead of "condut le bol"...not to mention "puissance" instead of "pissance"...

  • ACTED as well as SUNG!  BRAVO!!!

  • The pitch is raised a half step to accommodate his baritone. The note on the word "d'or" ("Le veau d'or") is an E, and not E-flat as in the score. He is not belting, but he is singing most everything open. He sings an A-flat at the end.
