    For me. Jerome. Hines is the classic Inquisitor. In voice and acting.

    Plishka is certainly an impressive bass on his own right, but Hines is an absolute BEAST.

    Hines is utterly terrifying.

    Wonderful duet from two MET legends. Hines with a MET career of 866 performances over 41 years. Plishka 1655 performances over 51 years.

    What a breathtaking scene and an incredible ending by Plishka! A king in turbulent thoughts and slow disillusionment.. meanwhile Hines is the embodiment of religious absolutism, his take on this character is so impressive. It must have been one of a kind experience watching this alive. To me, opera is the apex of all art forms.

    Just as I remember it in the House, Pliska's voice was so very beautiful...

    Jerome. Hines is the proper Inquisitor characterization. Both vocally and artistically. I saw him on the stage of the. Met!! He was extremely impressive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Perfect role for Hines & this is certainly a late career high point. Hugh sound!

    Thanks for sharing this. This is back when opera was still opera :) But I was there in the audience and Hines sounded twice as loud as he does here. I think the miking evened him out.

      Sound engineers usually do more harm than good! Someone once described Hines's voice as being able to drill through concrete. A remarkable instrument indeed.

    Interesting to hear how light Plishka sounds next to Hines. They're marvelous together but there's just no one like Hines - certainly not anymore. Very few real basses around, and of those even fewer are worth listening to. I admired Ramey very much, and saw him live, but I also saw Hines (very late) live and the latter remains America's greatest basso IMO.

    What's crazy to think is that this is 1980, and that Jerome Hines had been singing the Grand Inquisitor for at least 30 years by then - there exists his performance in this role, in this same opera house, from that now legendary MET Saturday Matinée broadcast from 1950, the start of the Bing Era, with Jussi Bjorling singing Don Carlo. He must have been really old in this video here, yet the voice is 100%

    Thank you for this. Thank God for Verdi and singing actors such as these two. I've watched it over and over. My first opera at he Met was this one with Hines singing Phillip and a ver young Justino Diaz , 1964. What a scene!

      At 6'6" tall, it is a wonder his knees lasted as long as they did. Definitely one of the greatest bassos ever.

    We can compare this recording to the exact same production but with Ghaiurov/Furlanetto, and it's astonishing how incredibly better Hines is as the Inquisitor here. Furlanetto was woefully miscast.

    I forgot there was a time when Plishka didn't wobble.
    Because Hines started so young he seems older than he was here, which was 59 or 60.
