Magnificent ! We miss You Ivan Rebroff !
This is utterly amazing! How anyone can criticise Ivan's performance here, which has beautiful, bright tone, yet shows an enormous range from Bottom Bass to high Baritone, is totally beyond me! If there's a better version on youtube, show us the link!
Agree
Agree Ab for a bass who can take low G three octaves below is astonishing
I took the time to listen to several recordings of this Aria by numerous basses and my conclusion is this Nobody else performs this as good his low notes are better and easier than everyone else his high notes are clear and squillo and he doesn’t avoid the cabaletta like some do. Most basses are about as interesting and entertaining as stubbing your toe that’s why they can’t successfully fill a theatre on there own merits because they are BORING unless your Pinza or Chaliapin but such singers as just mentioned had Tenor like popularity because of Charisma and magnetic personalities based on what GOD gave them not what composers offered to the Bass voice as mostly secondary roles in the mainstream of Opera. When was the last time anyone went to Rigoletto or La Boheme because of an undying urge to hear the Bass ? Rebroff was a Genius and promoted HIS art to Millions of people worldwide with his EXEPTIONAL vocal abilities and personality he was an excellent actor his Tevye is as good if not better than Topol with a voice so much better than anyone else who ever sung the part, on this alone would be good enough to hang your hat. His portrayal of this Aria is exiting and ANY Opera Bass would be ENVIOUS of an Ab 100 percent not to mention his bank account and popularity.
Rebroff and Chaliapin did for the BASS voice what butter did to bread so for the Opera purists reading this I would just say
Comparison is the thief of JOY
and will only make you bitter .
Und immer wieder trifft er mich.............mitten ins Herz
Einfach perfekt!
Es la mejor versión de esta Aria que he escuchado! la moldeó a su gusto y quedó mejor! era un prodigio Rebroff
Wunderbar gesungen ...
The high a flat at the end is fabulous- I love a singer who goes from Baritone to Bass and back again. Thanks for the post- Ernesto

@@xxsaruman82xx87 What are you questioning about the comments I made 11 years ago?
@@semiramide1945 Rebroff is an undeveloped baritone.
Об одном только могу сожалеть: что она мало спел и мало записал музыки! Этот голос божествен и хочется пить его, как родниковую воду, бесконечно!
У него есть много за писеи. Вы правы классики не так много. вот к примеру Дон Базилио: ruclips.net/video/SchFc66L1R0/видео.html
какой голос,какое шикарное владение,какая каденция с ми бемоль внизу,требующая большой подвижности голоса,какой огромный диапазон до ля бемоль наверху (в этом произведении).
@bodiloto Esta es vuestra opinion y es muy respetable, pero si leeis la mayoria de los otros comentarios casi todos escriben que la voz de Ivan Rebroff es magnífica y extraordinaria. No tiene caso discutir porque, después de todo, aqui impera el gusto personal. Para mi ,su voz es bella, y por cierto la de Ettore Basttianini tambien era impresionantemente hermosa. Que opináis de Mattia Battistini?
THE MASTER REBROFF IS AMAXING, HIS VOICE IS SO PERFECT. HOWEVER, THE POWER IN THE SOUND IS NOT AS STRONG
Голос богатейший. То, что он не всегда поет классической оперной манерой, это да, но он берет такие ноты как вверху так и внизу (не именно в этом произведении), которые многим классическим басам просто недоступны. Природа щедро одарила.
а тембр??? Тембр каков! Кровь в жилах стынет!

What is awful? is it better if it sounds to heavy with pitchproblems on every note above middle C. The reason that he has this high notes is that he has totally connected his chest and head voice which makes the high notes much easier than otherwise. If you listen to Matti Battistini you hear a light baritone that sang with ease because he never sanged heavy. I prefer this to basses that sound like seals reaching and straining for every high note.
Yes, very impressive, especially for a performer who spent a lot of his time in the popular realm. For those who love the lower voices, check out Pinza, Christoff, Ruffo, Stracciari, and Ramey in our time. Opera produces miraculous voices.
Maravillosa voz!.
Marvelous voice!
Meravigliosa voce!
Wunderbar stimme!
Wrong, so wrong! I can't agree with you voiceexpert11! Rebroff was a very good and powerfull,voice! He had bright high notes, and a amazing low notes !His breath was also amazing his headvoice has not comparation - only covered and bright sounds-,and had a very good technik!His voice could be a parfum and a storm in the same song,he was a very good interpret and a good actor!
His voice is more beautifull then Ghiaurov, higher then Ramey- I love Ramey-and darker then Christoff on the low notes

@gallferi exactly, to say nothing of the fact that he goes from Basso low E all the way up to Baritone high A in this!!! He's sung lower (check out "Im Tiefen Keller" - it's VERY Tiefe!) and a LOT higher in Falsetto ("the Nightingale" will SCARE most Counter Tenors!)
@skingaz I've listened again R's version of this aria and cabaletta. In the aria "Infelice" he interpolates a low Eb; in the cab. "Infin che un brando vindice" a high Ab. This is as we say, "playing for the galleries". It is not necessary, and if Verdi would've wanted it so, he would've written it so (He didn't even want the cabaletta for this scene!). Unfortunately I've never heard R. in person, only on German TV, with all the amplifications. Whatever, I've always liked his work.
"Kunstkammer"-type singer: a rather curious case/phenomenon with a huge range, but mic-cabaret voice with inconsistent timbre... Well, certainly cannot serve as an example in opera world :)
A. Idem !!!!!
@bodiloto. Rebroff is a nightmare for any opera singer ;) basses, baritones evan countertenors ;) for his breath and presence. he's voice is higher than Samuel Ramey's and lower than Siepi's or Ghiaurov...he also knew english, france, italian, russian, greek, and idish....God bless Berlusconi ))))))))))))))
bodiloto we agree this is one of the best recording of this aria Boris Christoff had one similar but no As and no D but with the cadenza that the other basses leave alone including Siepi
@gallferi OK, so maybe my pitch was a semitone out. (or my tuning fork is lol) In any evernt, isn't there room for a little bit of license and extemporisation here? I would guarantee that, if you listened to various versions of other Operatic works, you would never get the same notes, sung the same way every single time. Again I say, if there is a "better" (such a subjective term) version on youtube, let's see it. I'm glad that you generally like his work though.
Согласен абсолютно!
D you have vous qui faites l'andormie with Rebroff ?
@SerPetKo Согласен абсолютно!
@Rigelcentauri58 2 cantare meglio di Rebroff e la cosa più facile del mondo.Amico,Rebroff dal vivo aveva poca voce,la sua fortuna era che la sua voce era fonogenica,niente di più.Non sono sorpreso dal tuo commento,a te Rebroff piace perché non hai sentito mai la sua voce dal vivo.Rebroff,Rubashkin eccetera questi Signori hanno cantato per me!Pagavo 200,500 franchi e loro cantavano per me! E non erano cantanti lirici!Io caro amico quasi ogni sera dopo un spettacolo vado a divertirmi nei cabaret .
"haves" is a typing error.
Some of the comments on this "Ernani" aria are pretty awful! One says: "Go Fuck ur self", others analyze and make know-it-all comments and compare him to the best: Ghiaurov, Christoff, Ramey. I (who haves sung this role many times) must admit, that his cadenza was highly irregular, but it doesn't mean that the man was NO GOOD. He was an entertainer with a fine operatic voice, who took advantage of the German TV, the sound system, performing a lot with his trade-mark appearance.
@bodiloto Entiendo vuestro punto de vista, pero si para opinar acerca de una voz tenemos que forzosamente escucharla en vivo, entonces muy poca gente podria comentar. En esta grabacion la voz suena muy bien.
Saludos.
Zirkus?Merkwürdigkeit+Geschmacklosigkeit.Arme Verdi
This is no easy task low Eb up to Ab full voice
When you play around with range extensions there is a price to pay but it worked for him he made millions so good on him plus his high notes are crystal clear and pure as opposed to woofy unnatural sounds which are uninteresting and not pleasant
@bodiloto looks like it's hard to replay in english for a poor italian )))))))))) Rebroff had an incredible register and also an impressive range control. He made a CD with Kleiber as Prince Orlofsky sung only in falsetto, he also played a BARITONE role (Szupan) in Gipsy Baron. Siepi,Ramey,Ghiaurov are the best basses of the 20th cenury but Rebroff it's a living legend for his versatility. God bless berlusconi the pedophile again ))))))))
Non mi piace. Sentite Ghiaurov, Boris Christov, Samuel Ramey e vedrete la differenza!
@bodiloto I don't like Enigarescu, Listen to Herlea and you'll see what is a real baritone, not Enigarescu...
IMO, they were both great baritones.
Sorry to say he does not sound like a basso cantante with a rounded tone. Too thin and too slimmed. The high tone is nothing but showing off.
Someone alluded to Herlea who was an excellent Verdi baritone and sang Ernani himself, not Da Silva.
Lol.
@bodiloto En serio? Acaso cantais mejor que el?. Vuestro comentario denota envidia.
Very interesting interpretation, but to say that I dislike it would be an understatement. Rebroff makes a shameful show-off which, especially in the first part, is so out of character that it is ridiculuous. Instead of plaintive he sounds joyful, and instead of belligerent drunken. He has the voice all right. I only wish he knew how to use and, most of all, knew he was singing at all.
I have mixed feeling about his rendition of this beautiful aria. He took too many liberties with the score. If Maestro Verdi would have been alive, he would have been insulted!!!
I think Verdi would’ve been impressed no other person in his day could do it anyway Both Caruso and Gigli had things changed around a little composers like Puccini didn’t think it a big deal
It’s people like us that are too manic
Comparison is the THIEF of JOY
@@johnblasiak607
"Comparison is the THIEF of Joy."
That's one to remember!
Still, comparisons tend to be inevitable.
The possibilities are a toss up;
My guess is that Verdi would have been surprised at Rebroff's amazing range (as most listeners were), and interested in composing for that voice, as well.
