So happy to have fund these amazing baritones, when the tenors seem to get most of the love. A talented baritone will out sing a tenor any day!

[@martenspitzner408]

Which is why most of the modern or rather modern singers, whose singing voice is considered immortal and inimitable, are baritones. Frank Sinatra, Elvis Pressley, Freddie Mercury (Yes, Freddie mercury was definately a Baritone, though a light baritone), John Lennon, Johnny Cash.....Just to name the greatest of the great names..... But I must say that it's really nice to read words like yours because baritones often have to train way harder and more often than bass-singers or tenors and often don't get the credit for their hard work. How do i know that? I'm a choir singer and naturally a baritone, but most of the times i'm forced to sing the tenor parts or bass singer parts because most choir materials only include Tenor or bass singer voice lines.

[@lacemaker427swohio5]

@@martenspitzner408 Tenor, humbug! I love a talented baritone-bass, my husband. My father was a baritone as well. I love church choirs and opera, but frankly, tenors bore me - a dime a dozen. To you, Martin, may I suggest soloing at church?

[@martenspitzner408]

@@lacemaker427swohio5 Once it's allowed to sing in churches, again, i might start to do that for me mother. For years, I She ( a mezzo soprano) kept asking and begging me to join her choir and some two years ago, when i started to train my singing voice for fun( i sing in mixed modern/opera style like Freddie Mercury did) , she invited me to a voice training session she and friends from her choir joined once a year. And for the love of me mother i joined her choir afterwards and thanks to insisting to train in the bass ( though I'm naturally a light and high baritone like Freddie Mercury was) , i can now sing as deep as F2, on a good day even an E2 ( normally Baritones can only sing as deep as around G2). And boy you can tell how happy she now is by a simple look in her eyes.

@@martenspitzner408 oh my god??? So far i thought these are singers were tenors I mean Frank Sinatra and Freddie Mercury holy sh*T🤣, although i'm baritone but i'm also countertenor but there is only one university where I could improve my voice further as a countertenor but I have just started music high school so university is still unaproachable for me😅

[@martenspitzner408]

@@erikhorvath4297 A baritone can't be a countertenor as well. they in fact couldn't be further away from each other in all terms. A countertenor doesn't have the warmth and strength in his voice while a baritone can only hit countertenornotes with his head voice, but it wouldn't sound like a countertenor. What's likely is that you are a light baritone with an extended vocal range towards the high notes ( Meaning a baritone with a well trained head voice). So am i as well by the way and so was Freddie Mercury.

Vide 'o mare quante bello, Spira tantu sentimento, Comme tu a chi tiene mente, Ca scetato 'o faie sunna. Guarda, gua, chistu ciardino; Siente, sie sti sciure arance: Nu profumo accussi fino Dinto 'o core se ne va E tu dice: "I parto, addio!" Talluntane da stu core Da sta terra de lammore Tiene 'o core 'e nun turna Ma nun me lassa, Nun darme stu turmiento! Torna a Surriento, Famme campa Vide 'o mare de Surriento, Che tesoro tene funno: Chi ha girato tutto 'o munno Nun l'ha visto como ca Guarda attuorno sti Serene, Ca te guardano 'ncantate, E te vonno tantu bene... Te vulessero vasa. E tu dice: "I' parto, addio!" T'alluntane da stu core Da sta terra de l'ammore Tiene 'o core 'e nun turna Ma nun me lass, Nun darme stu turmiento! Torna a Surriento, Famme campa!

Great music! Thank you!

[@историиизпрошлого]

Grazie mille ! Развивайте ваш канал, не останавливайтесь, пожалуйста. Предлагаю... Найдите раннее выступление Bastianini в «Traviata” 52 г. до Callas-55 г. LaScala, поставьте на одну дорожку для сравнения, а я сделаю хороший пост и кое что напишу об истории дружбы Bastianini и Callas... Поверьте это будет интересно. Я очень сожалею, что интерес к певцам прошлого, особенно к Bastianini, как-то притупляется и это печально... А ведь, помимо его карьеры певца, а она была не легкая и трагическая, но и другая сторона жизни, не менее интересная и не лёгкая , а порой и трагичная. Вобшем желаю вам дальнейших успехов!😊☺️🤜🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶💕

Слушайте мирового гения Дмитрия Хворостовского. У него голос Бога ! Слушаю его с утра до вечера каждый день и не могу на слушаться никак !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@eegreque]

Ни в коем случае

[@историиизпрошлого]

Даже близко нельзя сравнивать Великого Ettore Bastianini с кем бы то ни было!!! А уж говорить о Хворостовском , как о великом- это просто « кощунство» Я чту память о нём, и на фоне той бездарщины , которая охватила практически всю певческую камарилью во всех странах - он- Хворостовский;- действительно , хорош, но не великий... как это не печально!! Бастианини- это не случайность, а закономерность, которая передовалась на генетическом уровне , ещё с тех времён 19 века и докатилась до20 века, а Ettore и есть тот самый генетический фонд , которому , досталось иметь это счастье-- ГОЛОС « Бронзы и Бархата» Отсюда вывод:- сравнивать никогда, ни в какие времена невозможно.. ТАБУ.!!!!! Если вам понравилось, что я написала, то дайте мне знать. Я с удовольствием подискутирую о Бастианини, т. к. Многие о нём мало что знают и понимают . 😊🙏🙏🙏

[@leonardcohen5529]

​@@историиизпрошлого может он/а кроме Хворостовского никого не слышал/а, поэтому понятен этот восторг. Мне же, например, даже странно было бы слушать этого певца после Бастианини, Гуэльфи, Мерилла, Каппуччилли и других выдающихся баритонов.

[@danielrodriguez9630]

Estos temas los habia escuchado. Por tenores. Pero ellos los bordan...

[@DGJ-gq6kj]

Bastianini is the only one here who could be considered one of 'the best' - many would put him right at the top, purely in terms of his vocal ressources, second only to Ruffo, maybe, or Tibbett. But the others ... As other people have said, there are lots of great baritones missing. If you like Tito Gobbi, as I do, take a look at this video presentation I've put together: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYnTqqyfn9xqiNU

[@elisabethweinreich5617]

Muy bueno

[@annemariefleming]

Why so much of Bastianini? No Gobbi. No Raimondi. No Russian baritones. Very limited.

[@bassoprof]

Fleming: "Why so much of Bastianini?" My my my, what a question! Probably the uploader of this video rightly considers Bastianini, as I and millions of people from all corners of the world do, one of the best baritones ever lived. Nevertheless, you are right, some others, like Apollo Granforte, Gobi etc. should have been included in this video. Coming to the rest of your comment...Raimondi is mostly considered a basso, sometimes, in my view correctly a bass-baritone. As far as I know he is not characterised as one of the greats in either category. Your last remark, "No Russian baritones. " Slavic peoples and Russions produce great Bassos. I am not aware of any great Russian baritone who would have deserved to be included in this video.

[@ronnieince4568]

@@bassoprof Pavel Litisiaan -simply a great Russian baritone.

It's a pity that you left out one of the finest, most beautiful opera baritone of voices of the 21st century, unique, great voice of Dmitri Hvorostovsky. Dmitri Hvorostovsky, Metropolitan opera 2011, "Il balen del suo sorriso". kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3nLqIJ4rrVrZ6s

[@craigcollins6904]

The first two aren't opera arias, they are Neapolitan songs. Hampson's Largo is far from the best recording. He sounds like a tenor singing the aria.

I only hear 3 different baritones. The other one of which name I don't want to remember, is not, will not and was never a baritone. Just a disgrace of a baritone. A product of people who never understood anything about voices, like Levine and company. Bastiannini, as always a lesson of how a baritone SHOULD sound.

[@פאבלפיבנב]

Thomas hampsons rendition of largo, is the best? That's laughable. There is an army of Korean unknown baritones that would top this performance, any day of the week.

[@gabetoso2533]

None of those pieces are for the Baroque Era. re title this video

[@lsmart]

One can argue whether Bastianini was the greatest baritone, or whether he only belongs after a number of other top baritones who are even better - but few opera buffs would ridicule anyone who places Bastianini first, simply because of the glorious beauty and size of his voice. However, with all due respect, placing three of his recordings alongside one by Hampson, an OK but far weaker baritone in both voice and singing, as well as a mediocre Torreador Song performance by a 3rd rate singer is almost laughable.

[@kenwasser6186]

You are so right about Hampson. His greatest gift is his ambassadorship of song. But I admire anyone who achieves their dreams.

[@lsmart]

@@kenwasser6186 Yep. He's made to sing Mahler lieder, not Verdi opera.
