- The Great Heldentenor in one of his signature roles. An extraordinarily difficult aria for any but the most robust tenors.

he said that he could sing Siegfried twice in one evening if needed, also Tristan, he was unique and you will like Caruso never see or hear these Voices ever again. Only on Record. Many have come and gone and still today their unique positions have never been reached yet alone bettered.
Simply incomparable. Unique, Immortal. Words are pathetic.
Melchior‘s voice: unearthly strength and intensity. No tenor has touched it yet. I look forward to hearing „the new Melchior“ someday. No one yet.
Give me 5-10 years haha😂
brutal! Melchior is the Anointed one amongst all heldentenors
Wagner was essentially the "Heavy Metal" composer of his day.
Heavy metal strives to be the Wagnerian music of today.
@@mhroe but technically worse than wagner
Magnifico e monumentale
Il più grande tenore wagneriano di tutti i tempi!!!
Thank you! Yes, it's astonishingly good. I've heard many great tenors sing (or try to sing) the Forging Song, and to my ear, at least, no one comes close to Melchior!
Melochior is the perfect tenor for Siegfried
MOLTO BELLO!!! Thank you for sharing this Wonderful and Rare Performance of Great heldentenor LAURITZ MELCHOIR 1890-1973.
wann werden wir wieder solch einen Tenor bekommen?
A vocal miracle.
In my world, there is very special Hell reserved for Richard Wagner. He has to sing his tenor parts for eternity.
I’ll have to adopt that
He actually used to sing all of his male parts in salon settings to raise money for his works. He would get a woman to sing the key female roles and he'd go from playing Wotan to Siegfried all on the same evening...so....your hell idea for him wouldn't really work. He'd most likely enjoy it.
Wagner was as mad as Ludwig - two peas in a pod.
@@canalesworks1247 not full voice over an orchestra though lol
@@kalijr.1299 Of course not. He did however sing in male chroruses in Dresden when the head Kapelmeister, Reisiger I believe was his name, conducted works. He was a decent singer, just not an operatic soloist.
In any respect the idea that he would be tortured by being forced to sing his own vocal lines is pretty silly.
There are some funny cartoons in the newspapers contemporary to Wagner that show the audience pushed back in their seats with their hair pointing straight back from the musical blast.
Pretty accurate
Thank you. Siegfried as it should be sung.
wow!! and great mastering as well for a 1928 recording!!
Очень легко поёт одну из самых тяжёлых арий
Браво Маэстро!
SIMPLY THE BEST !!!
That orchestra though.
Absolutely agree! Thank you!
Prächtig Heldentenor.
Wowwwwww!!!!
Not if you're Melchior. But for humans it is.
i heard that mel used to play cards etc between scenes with the chorus. do you know?
Card playing is true. HE used to slink off in Parsifal (he was supposed to be on stage but had nothing to sing,) so he left to resume the card game. He is also famous for falling asleep onstage. Snores could be heard during the Liebestod. Heldentenors began with him and ended with his death, in my opinion. Everyone since ,however great, goes on a seperate list.
Flagstad was supposed to knit....
@@falkfinkno melchior was tenor, just unusually heavy. They are the rarest
All of you say BRAVO HALLELUJA, but he is NOT in tempo here, and not in Morgenlich leuchtend, (video on youtube)... He had problem with the high notes and wanted to hurry to sing them not so long (I think ).Great voice, but not so musical singer...
