[Bastikalk]

I know another David Ward who sang in Baryreuth and is the Hunding on Erich Leinsdorf 1965 recording of "Die Walküre". Is he related to this David Ward here?

[buffoward]

The famous David Ward was a Scot, like me, but we are not related. I have met colleagues and friends of his over the years - he sounds like a great guy though I am told he was a big smoker.

4:23 XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[singspieler]

WOBBLE OUT OF CONTROL!

[mouthmouse]

I like the second part, the words are very fluent, and espacialy at 4:23. BUT I'm not fan of the voice, the note are very saccated, and at the end, 5:48, we feel he's very tired by the aria!

aye and david liked  a dram too

[pagerbear]

Hey! I know him! Glad to find you have videos online!

[Bastikalk]

Thank you, David. As far as your video is concerned: It's really great!

I'm a German and a (though with 16 years very young ;)) bass-baritone myself. If you'd like to see a video, look at my channel - I'd like to know what a professional says about me.

Yours,

Sebastian

(who's not a big, but a smoker at all ;)).

but the voice is nice and bouncy
