Max Lorenz war einer der grössten Tenöre seiner Zeit, ein Gentleman mit still und Charme seine Stimme bleibt uns Erhalten.

I had never heard of Max Lorenz until today when I saw this wonderful documentary. He WAS Siegfried. Also a tender hearted and heroic man - saving those people he loved in the worst of times.

He was heroic on the music stage, but most, above all, in the real life drama where he put his life on the line, to save his wife and the people he loved. His artistic value is beyond comparison.

I actually heard him live before WW2 in London three times, he alternated with Melchior in Siegfried and in Tristan, he was a fine Heldentenor but Melchior definitely was in a different class, this was also true in New York, even though they were good friends, but Melchior certainly hated the Nazi's for Lorenz it was very much keep your mouth shut, he certainly suffered because of the Race and Homosexual hate of the Nazi's . His Voice was Large and resonant, but there were problems in some performances, with Tempi and Diction for the purists, I heard him in London after the War his voice had not the quality of the Mid Thirties. Frida Leider was much in the same situation as Lorenz with her Husband. I find this Documentary rather sad in a way, there was much more to this Great Tenor, he was let down by the people who had before the war and During the War given the Heil Hitler, now later they were also turning their back on this very Gentle man. Lorenz was no Nazi but many of his colleagues were. Should he have stayed in New York, he would have had a much happier life, Melchior thought he should have.

At 8:07 the audio starts with the Götterdämmerung duet, taken from the 1952 Bayreuth Festival, with Lorenz as Siegfried, Varnay as Brünnhilde and Keilberth conducting. At 8:26 the audio fades into the 1934 performance, now with Leider as Brünnhilde. At 8:54 the surviving video footage joins the audio.

Great and wonderful heldentenor, probably shadowed his well deserved "popularity", due to the relation he had with the german Nazi's in the 1930-40's...but what else could he had done?, I feel he was not a politician nor a anti-jewish man, probably he was only an "artistic spirit", minding only of music, voice (testa di tenore, migth some say). I feel a little sad for this forgotten marvelous artist. We must not forget Lorenz art and talent. Bravo!!!

After hearing Lorenz's voice and presence I wonder how today's some of the great(!!!!!😆😆😆😆) Wagner, Strauss repertoire singing tenors may go on calling themselves as Heldentenor.

Hier muss ich Fischer-Dieskau, den ich als Sänger auch kritisch sehe, aber sehr recht geben, wenn er sagt: "Heute ist weit und breit nichts zu finden, was dem entspräche. Nichts. Pure Luft."

@elsalohengrin77772 жыл бұрын
Kind of funny: first at all when I was around 20 yeras old I moved in one room apartment where realtives of Fischer-Diskau used to live. Secondly I will have all my live the voice of Rene Kollo in my ear! Many, man times heard in the deutsche Oper Berlin/Götz Friedrich! So I am kind of imprinted by bothn when I compare at least classical Helden Tenöre! Herr Kollo ist der "hellste" in der Höhe, Heldentenor den ich kenne (der Trisatn Kollo und wrauch immer) Götz friedrich Inzinierung, wird mich bis zum Tod begleiten, hatte soagr in Harvard denTRISTAN in einer Buchhandlung las Video gefunden, nach einem blind date mit einem Bariton, es gibt Dinge zwischen Himmel und Erde Alles Liebe und Gute
