Samuel Ramey Green Room

[@marthawatson4162]

Saw and heard Samuel Ramey at the New York Metropolitan Opera. What a voice!

[@johnblasiak2499]

He has a great nose for resonance and a great intellect to be a Opera singer A real Bass is as rare as a white elephant

[@samueljaramillo4221]

One of the best basses in the world. And all around nice person that I’ve met.👏👏

[@nielrishoi8156]

Wonderful interview. One of the greatest operatic experiences of my life was Sam as Argante in the Met tour of Rinaldo, the stop being in Detroit. The opening scene of Argante, in a chariot, singing those fiendish, high-lying roulades with all those F-sharps. Sheer brilliance. Precision, grace, and agility. Unforgettable, and the audience went just bonkers-nuts.

[@ahogbin2644]

The greatest bass I ever heard live - along with Ghiaurov! A superb Figaro, Assur, Philip II, Zaccaria, Mephistopheles and villains in Hoffmann. A glorious sound, excellent stage presence and technique.

[@jamesmiller6244]

Simply fabulous the great Samuel one of the best ever

[@ArashiGalaxy]

[@tonymarshmarsh9176]

[@giulianataramella1192]

Grande Maestro!

[@clarkelliott5389]

A great singer and a nice guy. Best wishes for your retirement.

[@baritonebynight]

One of the voices that I fell in love with when I was a young singer. I tried to imitate his sound and did lots of damage to the voice trying to do that.!

[@fayhart6355]

Oh my goodness to find this 🙏I had the great delight to hear and meet Mr Ramey at every performance in London at Covent garden over the years and also at the opera luncheon club and also at the Fenice in Venice so many wonderful performances and the happiest memories. -a delightful gentleman Thankyou so much 💐💐💐💐

[@anastasromansky8626]

I remember how when I was a teen, my friend from Kharkiv showed me a recording of the Mefistofele, Arrigo Boito - SF Opera (1989). It is very strange that Mr. Ramey was not popular in Ukraine back then... because he is definitely the best performer of Mephistopheles of all time! It's been over ten years and I still can't contain my excitement! I'm still in awe of that fascinating voice! 😍

[@charlespowell9117]

Sorry but the NYC Opera production was far superior---Ramey doing cartwheels at the end of the opera and at the beginning the house in total darkness and only a light from Julius Rudel's baton seen as the 'heavenly' chorus sang. Evenings to last a life time and his Attila too!!

[@LaRush62]

I was in the chorus of that production. It was one of my happiest memories singing there for 7 yrs. I was in awe of him every performance. The wall of thrilling sound that he created every time was beyond incredible.

[@LaRush62]

@@charlespowell9117 I remember seeing that production when it came though LA and was amazed, particularly by the end when he seemed to roll up a raked stage as if he were blown by a huge wind and disappeared. It was thrilling.

[@tulliusagrippa5752]

Oh-oh-oh! He’s the only one who has that evil interjection in Boito’s Mephistophele! A stroke of genius.

[@Holderlin]

Did you hesr about Jerome Hines?

[@marymiller542]

What a voice!

[@enriquesalinasalcazar9879]

As always the best the unique

[@Leon-Hardt]

One of his "Te Deum" and "La Calunnia" rendition are UNMATCHED!

[@rayzipf6154]

As a blind beggar in Faust at City Opera, I had to fight not to stare at his stunning performance and resonant voice.

[@tarekmohamed3263]

Love Samuel Ramey.

Perfetto💘 Великий оперный певец и прекрасный человек 💐

[@johnblasiak2499]

First heard him in a Gala performance singing The Impossible Dream Wow what a voice the other cast members were obviously impressed also

[@frankwagner6164]

Toi-Toi-Toi... God Bless.

[@raulcesari4115]

Un grandissimo "Mefistofele".

[@aneamarlivana172]

Bass with a very extended upper register, not bass-baritone.

[@cadaverdog1424]

Isn’t Kansas where the Clutter family was murdered in 1959?

[@shanederry2691]

Ramey is a bass not a baritone!!

[@johnblasiak2499]

Sure is

[@ER1CwC]

Bass baritone. Jerome Hines is a bass.

[@DubiousDubs]

@ER1CwC jerome hines was a profundo by his own admission (in his book the 4 voices of man)

[@photo161]

This woman loves to hear herself talk. I don't.

[@gaddovarzi6980]

Di gran lunga il più grande basso degli ultimi 50 anni, cantante e attore insuperabile. Qui in Italia ha lasciato ricordi indimenticabili.
