What a lovely piece of singing. It's a real

lesson in phrasing and graceful presentation

and should be recommended viewing for any

young singer embarking on an operatic career.

Siepi is the greatest bass of the century and

it's such a pleasure to hear him spin out the

lines with such poise. The voice is still

secure from top to bottom and the final low

note is as soft as velvet.

Thank you for posting!

@NormanE123 @NormanE123 "Que les songes heureux" is an aria of Jupiter at the first act´s final ("Allons! Triste buveur") of Charles Gounods "Philémon et Baucis"). You find the music sheet at imslp org, search for "Philémon et Baucis", take a look at the "Complete Score" at page 60. Enjoy it!

I've been looking everywhere and I can't find sheet music or anything for this. Does anyone know where I can find this song?

An unbelievably beautiful voice, especially with the E at the end…

Siepi's bass sound is the ideal for me, and retained it's beauty for decades. The elegance and grace frame the timbre to perfection. Bravo.

Dear Onegin,

I've just heard that Mister Siepi passed away today. Such a beautiful voice and

a wonderful artist. I find myself returning to this video again and again because

even though he is near the end of his career, his sense of style and his way with

the vocal line are still without peer. This is a gorgeous performance and a great tribute to an immortal.

Rest in Peace Cesare
