For interpretation, Gobbi, for beauty of tone, Merrill, when it comes to talking about who's better. Neither performance is perfect though, Gobbi's voice sounds strained sometimes, and Merrill's ends of phrases I agree could have been done with more care. Herlea, Warren and Milnes also do great performances and interpretations, and I have to give props to Tibbett too and to Bastianini, the latter in particular for interpretation and diction.

i'm not an expert but of all the 'largo al factotum'
i have listened i find robert merrill the very best!
maybe a bit too frivolous occasionally, but then
we need not forget 'the barber of seville' is a comedy

you do talk a lot of rubbish Just listen and appreciate it
-
gobbi sounds horrible here. barely hitting anything. lol its sad actually, but funny at the same time worst baritone singing i have heard. he must be ancient here or just terrible.
-
Gobbis version is superior, by far.

Absolument fabuleux!!!

After making a sensational outfield catch, Willie Mays was asked if it was his greatest catch ever. Willie's response was, "I don't rate them. I just catch them."
When we experience tremendous talent, all we need do is enjoy it. It's unnecessary to choose sides or debate.
Hey, life is short. Savor it to the fullest.

I only meant second rate as far as comparing to voices like Warren, Bastianini, Merrill, Ruffo, Stracciari, Bechi, Tibbett and the like. And I disagree about his technique. His voice above his upper passagio (E natural) was always just a straight tone shove and devoid of any beauty.
