O del mio amato ben - Leonard Warren

Just music. The great american baritone Leonard Warren is singing live in russia, May 1958, the song "o del mio amato ben" by Donaudy. Willard Sektberg at the piano.

[@Rigelcentauri58]

Stunning!!! The situation he obtains here of taming his huge, big baryton voice and adapt it so beautifuly to this highly romantic song is amazing. It´s like a brave lion playing between his claws with a tiny, delicate flower, making it look prettier, and afterwards letting it fly away unharmed.....

[@user-py1jg6bb2r]

wow, so nice word, agree but I cannot come up such nice fit comments,

[@perla51]

Particular voice !!!!Great performance!!!!Perla.

[@emiliobayon]

Not only a great voice and great singer but also a great interpreter. THANKS

[@user-py1jg6bb2r]

maybe the greatest baritone in that sense, depth and knowledge in mature way.

[@mayitojl]

Rest in peace Mr. Warren. Your stay was very brief, but very fruitful, you have left us your voice for eternity. Thank you.

[@guetary]

My God! Not only a wonderfully produced voice, but one of such natural, honeyed beauty that one can only regret that this prince amongst baritones is not more widely regarded today. A singer of great intelligence and refinement.

[@user-py1jg6bb2r]

like your put. refine, intelligent, natural, honey, he is all of that, highly masterfully work.

[@rationalsceptic7634]

One the greatest Baritones of all time! RIP

[@vocal38]

His personal character must be very gentle and warm-hearted. I always feel it when I listen to his singing. And also so much attractive. This song is unique for him. Simply PERFECT.

[@tenorschofield]

MARAVIGLIOSO!!!,can hear Leonard Warren again and again; he is one of the best of the best lyrical singers of all times...BRAVISSIMO!!!

[@tenorschofield]

MERAVIGLIOSO LEONARDO WARREN🙏🕊️🎶🤗

[@weredone]

great baritone!

[@federricoilgrande]

Un organo vocale unico nella storia dell'Opera permette a questo gigante ogni sorta di nuance espressiva, assieme a Titta Ruffo e Hans Hotter il più grande di tutti ::))

[@gianfrancocastelli2324]

Perfettamente d'accordo con lei, purtroppo non siamo in molti ad avere capito la sua arte.

[@Mimi-ey5ej]

It’s so passionate, so exquisitely controlled, yet monstrous in its sheer virility and timbre I am moved to tears. Callas said he was the greatest baritone she ever heard!

[@juadan]

Few singers have ever sung this song (or much of anything) better than Leonard Warren. Thanks for posting this. It's absolutely beautiful.

[@brianmurphy8947]

stunning voice and interpretation!

[@colindowson7615]

A most extraordinary Voice,one of the greatest of all time!!

[@YamilCabbad]

QUERIDO XAVIER:Gracias!!!por el video del gran baritono LEONARD WARREN,su voz nos trae a nuestra memoria emotiva y celular el color,tímbre,musicalidad y estilo de la opera de oro.Muchisimassss gracias!!!Con el cariño de siempre.YAMIL

[@Oaktownrob]

Wonderful singing by one of the finest baritones in Metropolitan Opera history. One of his peers,also on the roster, was the incomparable Robert Mc Ferrin. Hopefully, some footage of his performances will be located for future posting. His Verdi roles were stellar!

[@francoisbessing]

So much air power and resonance...inspirational

[@davidsolomon8203]

Beauty, power, range - - Warren’s voice!!! Unmatched!!!

[@francoisbessing]

Absolutely stunning...such warmth and ease..his voice was truly an instrument capable of the serenest legato.

[@user-py1jg6bb2r]

so deep and warm in his artistry, masterfully crafted, so rich and deeply touching... Bravo.

[@MrLeslieguinn]

I had the enormously moving experience of hearing him live in recital, Trovatore, Forza, and Rigoletto and, as a college student, of meeting him for an hour talk about his studies. He was very kind, generous, and filled with a rare, innate musicality too infrequently found. I am moved almost to tears each time I hear his recordings, both by the beauty of his sound and by the sense of loss. What an enormous gift to mankind!

[@user-py1jg6bb2r]

no wonder why his voice is so rich and full of dynamic colors, love also Ettore, I think Warren is much deeper in controling...

[@user-ry9zf5fp4v]

@@user-py1jg6bb2r вот этих двух баритонов я различу из многих-Леонард Уоррен и Этторе Бастианини-сразу с первой секунды

[@tenorschofield]

MERAVIGLIOSO!!!a joy for our souls,and master class for our singing!!!

[@argisct]

Amazing.Such tenderness and control in such dedicated Arias.Thanks

[@Gwallteriedig77]

Wow. Great voice and interpretation!

[@FacePaster]

gorgeous. simply gorgeous. such a resonant and beautiful voice. one in a million.

[@peterschmitz8364]

was für eine grandiose stimme.sein früher Tod auf der Bühne der Metropole.opera war eine Tragödie für die Opernwelt.ich erfreue mich immerwieder an dieser herrlichen stimme.

[@ricardocrampton5629]

no puedo dejar de oirlo!!! Què maravilla!! Gracias Xavier!! Abrazo amigo

[@DonPaolissimo]

This man was The Greatest!

[@jdxavier]

Bravo

[@tomgeydan]

Leonard Warren’s voice has a unique quality that constitutes the very essence of what “baritone” means - and he knew how to use it to greatest and most appealing effect! Simply extraordinary! That is what makes me want to listen to his recordings again and again. Thank you!

[@user-ry9zf5fp4v]

Я думаю внутри себя мужчина баритон должен чувствовать лидерство,невозмутимость-сильный властный авторитет,у баритонов это ещё и бархатистая мягкость,теплота-голос отца и любящего молодого короля

[@Dobrib]

Glorious!Thanks for sharing.

[@user-zu5ob1en6w]

Magnificent

[@puffpuffy]

I'm Lindon Warren and i m a baritione too and sang this won and won in an oprea competion

[@DonnaSilvia]

Che meraviglia di fraseggio!!

[@cesarmillan847]

EL MÁS GRANDE

[@MusicalTenor23]

why do i feel that baritones are greater interpreters than tenors who sings the same art songs like this? this recording made my day! never heard this piece this great! wow! Just music indeed!

[@frankfurter6561]

To die for

[@tenorschofield]

MARAVIGLIOSO!!!

[@luigimaffei9132]

Voce soave, grave profonda e raffinata, sugli alti e leggero e bellissimo. Assieme al grande BASTIANINI, fanno la storia delle voci baritonali, che meraviglia!!!!!!!!

[@robmanrico]

Great voice, great singing, particularly wonderfully sensitive cover tone on the high phrases

[@user-py1jg6bb2r]

you touched the right word, yes it is his sensitive sense,

[@tenorschofield]

Xavier que maravilla Leonard Warren!!!;(realmente Leonard Warendorf de padres ruso-judìos emigrados a USA).Saludos!!!

[@somersetuk525]

I'm surprised and not elated at his voice, as indeed he sang so well in verdi , is this voice

[@mirellasanseviero472]

Stupendo 🌷

[@norisv]

So beautiful!

[@legatofancier]

Robert McFerrin (Senior) was the father of popular vocalist Bobby McFerrin. If memory serves, he was the first African-American baritone to engaged by the Met. Based on what little I've heard, McFerrin had a very fine voice. Hopefully, more of Robert McFerrin's recordings will be posted on KZbin!

[@josephcold]

A voice like that happens once in a century.

[@user-ss3qq1nu3e]

그렇다 옛날 대가들의 음악에는 요즘 가수들에게 없는 따듯함이 배겨 있다

[@sarastro1987]

Bravo!!!

[@manrico29]

As I had the luck to hear him singing Verdi on opera stages, I am surprised that he coul tame his huge voice to such tenderness. Wonderful !!!

[@user-ry9zf5fp4v]

Баритон пластичный голос..мягкость и теплота главные у него признаки

[@josequerolsancho]

Maravilloso, único. Tras escuchar a los más grandes (Ruffo, Tibbet, Merrill, Bastianini, .Mac Neill, etc), para mi, el mejor de todos ellos. Para mayor INRI, murió como solo hacen los grandes, en el escenario.

[@carlosarriolaisais7068]

O God! What a pity!, yearning! Suffering! Nostalgia! I am listening here. He Is Like a father who has lost His daughter, and Is teaching us We, raugh, rude men may Also cry.

[@jdxavier]

If you want to hear a soprano sing this aria, please listen to Arleen Auger Love Song recording, it is absolutely flawless.

[@bodiloto]

leone della lirica .

[@MrJmh12111]

정말 잘하네요

[@xavierfersanta]

Yeah, izar1234 that´s why i made this video, in this song we can appreciate the incredible technique of this unique baritone, the great Warren

[@xavierfersanta]

Totally agree with you

[@saiserieht]

In his earliest recordings, all these flaws you described are present in such small doses that they ADD to the qualities of his voice.

[@yaelpalombo4093]

❤️

[@user-ju4xj5hd3i]

8년이나지났지만 요즘성악가들도 따라갈수없을듯해요...

[@carlosarriolaisais7068]

God must be a bariton!

[@gotbolsheviks]

Actually they did..In the description..

[@xavierfersanta]

I put "the great" not "the greatest", and i put it for all who want to enjoy the music, if you don´t like it change the channel.

[@xavierfersanta]

People who have listened both live said that Leonard was for long better, i don´t want to say that Bryn is not good, he´s an incredible artist, (for me specially when he sings lieder), no one said he is the greatest. take it easy.

[@felipepeletta]

Very good your video!!! Look for Felipe Peletta also singing this song and many others.

[@silencesings]

@Laeghaire I totally agree :)

O del mio amato ben/Stefano Donaudy O del mio amato ben perduto incanto Lungi e dagli occhi miei/ chi mera gloria e vanto Or per le mute stanze Sempre lo cerco e chiamo con pieno il cor di speranze Ma cerco invan, chiamo invan! E il pianger me si caro, che di pianto sol nutro il cor Mi sembra senza lei, triste ogni loco Notte mi sembra il giorno, Mi sembra gelo il foco se pur talvolta spero, di darmi ad altra cura Sol mi tormenta un pensiero; Ma senza lei che faro Mi par cosi la vita vana cosa senza il moi ben

[@bradleymonroe6443]

Would that key work for a tenor who sits in the full dramatic tenor and heldentenor ranges?

[@xavierfersanta]

Absolutely, but not for the key, a tenor singing in that key has an "easy" way for sing it, to sing softer, see the excelent Petre Munteanu's rendition, you'll see what i mean kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZi9qp6he9Zmd9E

[@francoisbessing]

Bradley Monroe This is the low voice. Might work for Tenor 2 but for high Tenor they'd need the high voice version to really play with it.

[@hwh1946]

lucky russinas on this day

[@Vivaldicellist]

I would tend to disagree on that count... Bryn may not be able to measure up to Warren, but he is in no way boring.

[@forallyouknow]

Maybe he stimulates your ear in a certain way, and that's great for you. But he could never do that for me.

[@forallyouknow]

Gotta agree. Bryn really bored me to tears on every occasion that I listened to him. He sings notes, yeah, but he doesn't sing the music.

[@marcelpopa8018]

Frumoasa voce de bariton,excelenta pentru La Lirica ,dar nu si pentru aceasta melodie. Interpretarea lui Petere Munteanu e mult,mult mai apropiata de ce a vrut sa ne transmita Donaudy,mult mai sensibila.

[@xavierfersanta]

Munteanu's version is excelent, but you have to notice that they are singing in the same key a baritone and a tenor, one live and the other in studio, maybe if Warren low it a third he could have sing this with more facility, thanks for watching!!!

[@gotbolsheviks]

He's great, but the greatest? I think not. Bryn Terfel has him beat hands down.
