I love watching and listening to Andreas Wolf. I wonder how there are 1300 views and no comments until now.

Such a beautiful voice. Bright and light, very unusual for a bass-bariton.

Ich finde es etwas steif und zu ernst. Für mich strahlt der Satz Lebensfreude aus. Ein Tanz - Dominum vivificantem... 😉

Oh, darauf kann ich Ihnen sagen, dass die Aufnahme um 11Uhr morgens entstand mit Fernsehkameras in der Elbphi ohne großes Proben. Lockerheit kam da nicht so sehr auf. Das nur über die Hintergründe. Ich stimme Ihnen bzgl. des eigentlichen Gestus voll zu.

@@AndreasWolfBass Ich höre keine "steif oder zu ernst" in diese Einspielung. 11 Uhr morgens oder nicht. Nochmahls, du hast eine wunderschöne Naturstimme. Du singst wie ein Gott! Und ich denke daß es einfacher die tiefe Noten früh zu singen sind, und sie klingt bei dir ohne Anstrengung.

To the critic atop!! What bloody and ridiculous nonsense you talk.! You give the impression to various of us - including me, longing to sing, who knows little, but knows this piece very well, that you have little idea about singing. It would appear also to be a rather unkind thing to do, to suddenly plaster a comment on the public domain about any singer's personal performance. I know this piece and know it well,the B Minor SO important, how extraordinarily wonderful it must be to be German and so to share the same nationality as this source of astonishing musical and spiritual warmth. I see this as a perfectly satisfactory and straightforward performance, not overtly forced on the environment, just done, given, provided, delivered and done with an easy gentle modesty, leaving the glory to the message of our Lord Jesus Christ and the contents of the Mass. I think he's rather good. I have therefore saved this to look... and be inspired by... later. I am Andrew and I love this piece and I have very strict, ex St John's Cambridge, standards and this is a fine singer and I'm very glad to have encountered him and his relaxingly, easy, unflustered musical decency and easy aplomb of easy straightforward delivery, very easy on the spirit, reassuring. The piece may be supposed in some way to be joyful or dancy, but it doesn't mean to say the singer has to be some popstar and dance about the stage wearing feathers, a large birthday cake on his head while attached to a clutch of squeaky party balloons, something you may well be good at. He is supposed to befriend and honour the beautiful oboes. He has to deliver a nice, plain, beautifully woody, warm, woodwind instrument and reassuring sound, a lack of pretence, but stalwart warmth and have respect for the message and for the composer's work. He does this with consummate ease and easy and correctly bland competence. Now, let's all calm down and perhaps you may want to go and have a Schüssel of Weetabix.. and some cold full fat milk !! Mmmm.. LOVE TO ALL. . From London. And kind regards to you, old chap . Andrew, baritone. And lover of Germans, German and Germany. And Purcell ofcourse.

He’s a bass? Sounds more like a baritone.

[@anfauglir6834]

The continuo harpsichord is too busy

[@elk.darkshire]

Uhm, sounds more like an aria for baritone, not bass

[@ONeirda]

For a true bass, the tessitura in A major is really high. Even baritones may struggle with it, especially when tuned to nowadays' A1 = 440 Hz or (for concert "punch" even higher 😮). Most suitable voice is a lyric baritone or the rare sweet baryton-martin.
