- Gottlob Frick (born Ölbronn, Germany, 28 July 1906 - died Muhlacker, Germany, 18 August 1994) was a German bass who sang in opera. He was known for his wide repertory including Wagner and Mozart roles, as well as those of Nicolai and Lortzing.
Frick's teachers included Fritz Windgassen (father and teacher of Fricks contemporary the tenor Wolfgang Windgassen).
He was a member of the chorus at the state opera in Stuttgart 1927-1934. His first solo role was in Coburg in 1934, followed by Freiburg (1936) and Königsberg (1938) where he was spotted by Karl Böhm and engaged for the Dresden State Opera, which was his base for the following decade. In 1950 he moved to the Deutsche Oper Berlin and his international career took him to all the leading houses in Europe.
His voice, instantly recognisable, was aptly described by Wilhelm Furtwängler as 'the blackest bass in Germany' (den schwärzesten Bass in Deutschland).
The roles for which Frick was best known were Osmin, Sarastro, Kaspar, Rocco, Philip II, and above all the great Wagner bass parts including Pogner, Daland, Hunding, Hagen and Fasolt. Perhaps surprisingly he avoided the role of Richard Strausss Baron Ochs, which might have been thought ideal for him.
He retired in 1970 from the stage, although a few of his recordings (for instance, his portrayal of Gurnemanz in the Solti-led Parsifal) date from after that year.
It is as if this aria was written especially for him, he sings it so perfectly. He must have been the finest person!
Good to hear more of this bass, a very dark sound which still is not hollow, a lot of vibrancy.
Che meraviglia!
Yo canto como bajo en un coro y siempre he tenido como inspiración la voz mas hermosa de esta tonalidad...¡el maestro Frick!
This has got to be one of the most satisfying endings to a piece ever written. 4:10 to the end is just heavenly.
Very tenderly sung - thank you!
très belle version !
Вокально безупречно,мягко,нежно и благородно!А осмысленность пения могут оценить только немцы..
THANKS! More german singers on youtube!
I still can remember that in the kindergarden we saw how they carried his coffin
A beautiful memory! People must have loved him.
Лучшее исполнение! Всем повёрнутым на хохдойч концертмейстерам на заметку - вот так и только так должен звучать немецкий ПЕВЧЕСКИЙ язык,а не как разговорный и не как у камерника Дискау! Никаких утрированных согласных !
AM UEBERBESTEN!
More lovely tone than DFD!
Usualmente personas de las etnias negra,eslava, mongolica suelen tener voces mas "gruesas" con ese "sabor" que los alemanes llaman "schwärz" (oscura). Para este tipo de roles son fantasticas,como en este caso este fabuloso Frick.
DELICIOUS!
