Magnificent singing! A real basso cantante in the old school tradition. Alexander doesn't have as rich or sonorous a voice as my all-time favourite bass Cesare Siepi but he has a wonderful sense of the Italianate style. He also doesn't have any of that typical and somewhat distracting Slavic colouring that you find with Boris Christoff or Nicolai Ghiaurov. He's far more similar to basses with beautifully produced lyric voices such as Bonaldo Giaiotti or Ruggeiro Raimondi. It is a very warm, stylish voice that he uses with great sensitivity. He's quite wonderful. Thank you for posting this!
I am quite agree with you. Alexander is singing with the ancient italian technic I am teaching nowadays. Moreover he is a splendid artist as for the interpretation. The best bass singer of our days !
verdiguy This is a real baritone singing a bass role, of course he is a very good singer but that is why this sounds bad, exactly because he is the wrong voice for the part....your opinion about Christoff and Ghiaurov, shows, however, how much you understand...you need to listen more to live singing and then recordings....Cheers!
@@Italopera3376 this is not any ancient technique, anyhow at least he is not darkening his voice. at 7:00 big tempo mistake bcs of lack of this ancient trchnique
+Buggyst Hello! Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately I don't have the record of his "Il grand inquisitor". He sang the role only once 3 years ago, but it didn't broadcast.....:(
he is obvious bass, even more than Ildar Abdrazakov . alex`s second passagio pitch is C# , which is D# in Ildar Abdrazakov when you distinguish baritone to bass, you must see naturally downed position and depth of sound. not thickness or heavier voice some dramatic tenor has more heavy sound than basso cantabile.
downed position ? man please, even lowest bass cannot downed position, this "downed position" is fake darkening, ruclips.net/video/LU0omiGO1tg/видео.html this how the bass voice position should be.
Exactly, hear 5:02 is very good place for example to how he is fake darkening sound, he's singing o Dyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyoooo insetad of o Diiiiioooo, no clarity, bad vowel, totally no squillo.
@@italopera6036 I Baritoni della mia gioventù avevano delle voci più grandi e di colore più scuro di questo “basso” , è un fatto. La cosa più triste in questa situazione è il fatto che questo ragazzo canta con una vocalità gonfiata priva di un bellissimo medium, registro di petto semplicemente inesistente. Per me questa è la voce del baritono. il vecchio
No bariton he is real base .Basso cantabile but I think that he is too young for Filippo ... This is Soviet style to sing everything at the bigining ...and than stop singing 50 yrars old... This is wrong understanding but reality
Ein wunderbarer Sänger, Mensch mit schönstem Timbre bewaffnet....!
Thank you for your kindly comment! Enjoy his beautiful bass voice;)
Великолепное исполнение!в отличие отАбдразакова безукоризненно поет по-немецми,по французски,а итаьянский выше всяких похвал!!!

Ildar Abdrazakov es también un excelente bajo ruso. Canta en el Metropolitan, entre otros teatros.

Hello! Do you have a record with Alexander Vinogradov "Il grand inquisitor"?

Who did the part of Il Grande Inquisitor?
@@ognyankanev5211 I sang Inquisitor to his Filippo in Los Angeles last season!
@@massiveqdawg Could you post a record, please? Thanks!

some dramatic tenor has more heavy sound than basso cantabile.
To classifie a voice, just listen to the colour of the voice, how it sounds. Of course you need a trained ear !
downed position ? man please, even lowest bass cannot downed position, this "downed position" is fake darkening, ruclips.net/video/LU0omiGO1tg/видео.html this how the bass voice position should be.
Agree! He is a dram. bariton! Strange impression of his singing-his Philippe sounds like Boris Godunov in some provincial Russian theatre. 🎶

😂😂😂😂not true...I heard him. he is a bass
He has a bariton voice
You are talking nonsense : listen to the color of the voice, nothing else !
bullshit
@@italopera6036 you must listen Evgeni Nesterenko, Cesare Siepi.
baritono .
N'importe quoi ! C'est triste de ne pas savoir faire la distinction entre baryton et basse !
