Epic! There is no other way to describe the young Sir Bryn's performance of this iconic aria. Bravissimo!!!!

Für einen 24 Jährigen eine absolute einzigartige, grossartige und phantastische stimmliche Leistung und dazu diese Mimik, Gestig und Ausstrahlung. Jahrzehnte später durfte ich Bryn Terfel live auf der Opernbühne im Zürcher Opernhaus in dieser Rolle erleben. Diesmal als einen absolut einzigartigen, grossartigen und phantastischen Künstler und Sänger. Ich werde diese Opernaufführung im ganzen Leben nicht vergessen. Für mich ist er ein Jahrhundert Bassbariton und dazu ein äusserst sympathischer und liebenswerter Mensch. Liebe Grüsse aus der Schweiz von den Zwillingen Michael und Markus Zimmermann ♥️♥️😊😊

Einer der besten Holländer Bariton!

[@BassRoh_kr]

Bravo.... Amazing👏👏👏👏

[@depressedlarynx]

This is easily Terfel's best singing.

[@ЛюдмилаКолодченко-ч2ю]

Еще работать и работать на этим произведением. НО он шикарный певец...

[@peterdevita6308]

Great as he was Bryn could not beat out DMITRI HVOROSTOVSKY whose rich, velvety baritone voice simply surpassed anything Mr. Terfel was able to do and the audience sensed that every step of the way rising to its feet in bravos and singing in Russian once Dmitri had finished his set. It was a night to remember. However, both baritones went on to phenomenal careers, Dmitri's cut short at age 55 from the brain tumor.

Здесь ему надо повзраслеть и еще поработсть,но все мне почти всего хватило...

[@lucianopavarotti2843]

The eye bulging histrionics let him down but vocally good

[@waynesmith3767]

Probably worked just fine on a concert stage.

[@JeffreyGates]

He was only 24!!!

[@dorian07109]

No!!! Bryn was too young to do justice to this aria. Some pieces require years of singing other songs/arias before attempting to sing it.

[@helenespierman151]

Looks like a big kid back then! But his voice is still fresh and powerful today. I heard him at Carnegie Hall about a month ago.

[@dugiecameron1610]

Completely disagree ! There are no rules on age so please let’s not start inventing them - especially as armchair critics

[@golden-63]

@@dugiecameron1610 There are no rules on age, but the centuries have taught us that young operatic singers need to be cautious. Bryn is 23 here. It's VERY rare for a singer to sing the heaviest of the Wagnerian repertoire before 30. And potentially dangerous.

Bryan hat den Holländer mit Bravour gesungen. Auch vor kurzem! Einer der besten Holländer Baritons!
