Was für eine herrliche natürliche Bassstimme. Völlig unverspannt mit ganz natürlichen musikalischem Fluss. Unvergesslich auch die Aufnahmen mit Rosa Ponselle und Beniamino Gigli, mit denen er zusammen auf Schallplatte zu bewundern ist. Solche Sänger und Sängerinnen findet man Heute leider nicht mehr

We humans always compare one artist to another.We are always searching for the very best and when we find our champion,we sing their praises.Please forgive me.I have never heard a more beautiful Basso cantante than Ezio Pinza.His gifts are awesome. Ian Kaye

It has been 70 years since this one was recorded. In my opinion, no one is as good as Pinza in singing these song and arias. [and this one was a live recording]. Thank for for posting!

I briefly met Ms. Theabum when she was a guest instructor in the music department at San Francisco State University...she was certainly known as being a fine interpreter of French Opera reprtoire. She can definitely hold her own with Ezio Pinza.

This is sublime for various reasons. Pinza was at the peak of his powers. Sound this good had been only for movie studios before 16mm film began to be shot for non-live television. Note the position of the RCA Model 44 mic-inside that acoustic tile studio where so much experience using it had been gained.

Can you imagine being in that small audience? Practically a private performance. I must try to find more of Miss Thebom--she sang beautifully here. (And did you notice that the announcer pronounced the Italian and French well too? [limited sample, but sounded good])

Remember this man had been falsely imprisoned for being Italian during the war despite having sold his assets in Italy; his wife believed the whole ordeal had ended his life early around 10 years or so after this. A terrific voice and talent. Thebom is tremendously underrated also.

This is the kind of singing from the golden age that makes you realize that era has passed, possibly forever. There are a handful of very good singers around now but nothing to compare to those times and an artist such as Pinza has no equal today.

@@colinbell-NI I think it's bad teachers, the invention of the recording (big voices don't record as well and singers such as Fischer-Diskeau who croon well but can't sing opera, became popular), the video (emphasis on looks and acting), and a lazy culture of students who want quick results and don't take any interest in listening/studying recordings from past greats.

I agree with Paul Lewis, absolutely! Pinza had a gorgeous voice, unique, clear, expressive and the words always meant something. And MUSICAL -- to boot! Eliot Pinza, while he lived, was more than just a man: he was a living treasure! Through films like this, we can readily see it!

The composer Ange FLÉGIER (1846-1927) has used only verses 1, 2 and 7 out of part I. Below you can follow the text of this "ballade"; the first line comes several times in-between, and the 2 first lines of verse 2 are also repeated after lines 3 and 4, but beginning with "Bien souvent".

Fortunately I have a copy of this courtesy of VAI. Which also includes sequences with other Bass voices. I love many other Italian bass voices but Pinza (for Italian Rep anyway) is the king of them all. On his last selection he sails on down to a tremendous low D I believe. This is relatively late Pinza but his sound, especially, here, mezza di voce and all, is as sonorous as one could wish. For cantante voices only Siepi comes close to matching him, IMO.

"le Cor" is based on Alfred de Vigny's (romantic French writer) long and famous poem (21 verses in 4. parts of inequal length, inspired by the tragic end of Roland in Roncevaux)there: fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Cor) The composer J'aime le son du Cor, le soir, au fond des bois, Soit qu'il chante les pleurs de la biche aux abois, Ou l'adieu du chasseur que l'écho faible accueille, Et que le vent du nord porte de feuille en feuille. Que de fois seul dans l'ombre à minuit demeuré, J'ai souri de l'entendre, et plus souvent pleuré ! Car je croyais ouïr de ces bruits prophétiques Qui précédaient la mort des Paladins antiques. Âmes des Chevaliers, revenez-vous encor? Est-ce vous qui parlez avec la voix du Cor ? Roncevaux ! Roncevaux ! Dans ta sombre vallée L'ombre du grand Roland n'est donc pas consolée !
