Magnificent singing by Max Lorenz!!!!! He's my favourite heldentenor and I had never seen this before. Thanks for posting

[@ianng9915]

The Otello scene. Some of the greatest minutes in opera with the beautiful production and singing. Max Lorenz how I wish we could have more of him. If only he lived when Windgassen lived

[@brunegilda2453]

I like Lorenz very very much but I love Windgassen, so I'm glad Windgassen lived... when he lived. Anyhow, there must have been a lot of Lorenz's recordings, but they are simply gone, that's a shame.

Lorenz and Lemnitz 5:00 I wish there were English subtitles. Powerful, disturbing footage. The Otello scene is from a 1943 film Altes Herz wird wieder jung , which was Emil Janning's final film.

Mr. Sterkens, what is the source of your Musikstadt Berlin clips?

[@berdiddyberdisberbaboint2763]

Max lorenz must have been one of the greatest interpreters of Otello!

He was not that good an Othello, he was a good actor, but he could be strained on anything above B Flat, my father saw him many times, first in 1934 in Die Meistersinger in Covent Garden and also in the Ring Cycle where he was sharing the roles with Melchior, same Tristan, he was not as great as Melchior that can be found in the annuls of Covent Garden or in the Audience reactions, but Lorenz was a great Tenor that is for sure, he also was NO Nazi unlike many other singers of that time, per Roswaenge Wittrische and many others.

[@JozefSterkens]

Wait...is that the bombing of Berlin accompanied by Berlioz?!? And does anyone know the tenor singing Wer uns Getraut? That was some wonderful singing. Incredible Otello. Great upload, very educating.

[@DukeofDarkCorners]

The tenor singing Wer uns Getraut is, according to the narrator, Walther Ludwig.

[@MikhailMel]
