Sherrill Milnes - Ah, fu giusto il mio sospetto - Verdi - Luisa Miller

[@caterinademedici3874]

Miracolo vocale. Questo ruolo era scritto per lui. Bravo.

[@djgualtiermaldeCO]

This was a singer. Comparing this wit the same Domingo clip i saw yesterday makes me appreciate old voices. The real ones

[@Eiswirth1]

His '72 "Rigoletto" and '76 "Puritani," both with Sutherland, are unmatched.

[@figaroverdi]

What a baritone. Il grande baritono.

Bravo, Maestro! ❤❤❤

[@billhobbins8823]

Sherrill Milnes was a great singing actor - perhaps the finest. And we have not heard his equal since his retirement. There were certainly some other great baritones active during the earlier days of Milnes' career. Robert Merrill left the Met in about 1976 and Cornell MacNeil in 1987, by which time Milnes had been there over twenty years, to say nothing of greats from other countries: Capuccilli, Quilico, etc. One can make the argument that this one had the best top notes and that one had the best mid-voice and so on. But no one gave more complete and convincing performances on stage.

[@commandert5]

The 70s and 80s are the golden age of opera for me. Certainly of Baritones. Adding to your list Pablo Elvira, Ingvar Wixell, and Juan Pons

[@kennethwayne6857]

@@commandert5 Sadly I've never heard Wixell onstage, but certainly the other two many times, and I absolutely agree.

@@byronjackson7602 Cappuccilli is great, but Milnes, Guelfi, Manuguerra, MacNeil and Zancanaro are even better!

[@byronjackson7602]

They are all different and bring a unique quality to dramatic and Verdian singing, as does Bastianini and Peter Glossop as a couple of others. What I do know is that they are all fine exponents of old school 'bel canto'. Which is in decline both on the stage, training programmes and education. There are less and less true Verdian baritones emerging. But that's my opinion. I'm only trying myself. Too many teachers resort to "listen to the old school" but that's only part of the battle. Not many can teach the tools necessary.

Mr. Milnes is truly "in his prime" here (The Met's 1979 "revival" of Luisa Miller.
