An amazingly sweet and lyrical sound in such a deep bass voice; his phrasing is perfection. Beautiful singing!!!

Outstanding!! Martti Talvela was so great in his prime. And the music is gorgeous. Thank you for this!

Martti Talvela was one of the most endearing singers in the history of music. He was a giant of a man, both physically & musically. He was, to the basso, what Pavarotti was to the tenor. Both had such a broad range & sang effortlessly. And both had such powerful instruments.

My favorite bass. An amazing performer and a true inspiration!

I have always loved Talvela's voice. Thank you for sharing this.

What a beautiful voice Mr. Talvela has . . . I've never heard anything quite like it.

Es un bajo increìble. Imponente su figura y su voz.

Young people at that time: Talvela and Ashkenazy! Let's dive into this splendid past ...

AWESOME

[@OlausPulaus]

Quite. And imagine the two side by side - Ashkenazy and Talvela...

I heared Talvela first in Düsseldorf singing Sarastro about 57 years ago. What always bothered me about him was the larmoryante approach, the falling into the note from above.

About 2,03 m., if I remember well.

Alike Elvis, let's say alike him, he would not have his grand concerts recorded. The spiritual songs (inclusive Mussorgsky) he has released, but unfortunately, not the very many others for for the posterity ...

Hello everyone, if anyone has score of this song, please send me, thanx in advance

[@1donpizarro]

And SOUND small too !! In spite of Vladimir Ashkenazy's touch ...
