GFinfo 03 Jun 2008 at 10:46am (Report this message) I have an ulterior motive in that I run the information sites for Gerald Finley and Simon Keenlyside, and not surprisingly they are my favorite baritones in their particular repertoires. I also adore the recordings of Heinrich Schlusnus. Who are your favorites?

smitty 28 Jun 2008 at 8:54pm (Report this message) i always enjoyed leonard warrens work at the met in the 50s. i saw a performance of onigin with the bolshoi at the kennedy in 1976 the baritone in the ballroom scene sang his aria suberbly and literally stopped the show! those russian basses and baritines are really something. it always amused me that the only baritone to make it big in the movies was nelson eddy. a nice voice but a very stiff actor. |
