English Translation: Calumny is a little breeze, a gentle zephyr, which insensibly, subtly, lightly and sweetly, commences to whisper. Softly softly, here and there, soft-spoken, sibilant, it goes gliding, it goes rambling. Into the ears of the people, it penetrates slyly and the head and the brains, it stuns and it swells. From the mouth re-emerging, the noise grows, gathering force little by little, runs its course from place to place, seems the thunder of the tempest, which from the depths of the forest comes whistling, muttering, freezing everyone in horror. Finally with crack and crash, it spreads afield, its force redoubled, and produces an explosion like the outburst of a cannon, an earthquake, a whirlwind, a general uproar, which makes the air resound. And the poor slandered wretch, vilified, trampled down, sunk beneath the public lash, by good fortune, falls to death.
Absolutly brilliant. Thankyou Peter. You have such a gorgeous deep strong voice. I see it was recored on the 22nd July so was a nice birthday gift for me 👍🥂Dorothy x ( Grandma 78 yrs North East England )
Peter, hello! I accidentally saw your reaction to Dimash's speech. I was deeply impressed by your professional literacy, the subtlety of musical nuances that only real vocal personalities are able to understand. And after watching this performance, I sincerely got into you! God grant you good health, a great long successful creative activity, continue the work of the great Bass of the twentieth century Fyodor Chaliapin! You are very respected and loved in Russia. Sincerely, Roman.
Love your performance in every angle! The deepness of your voice is rich with great control. How you sell it to the audience is amazing. From one opera singer to you: kudos my brother!!!
This was one of my father)'s favourite arias in that register... You brought me back in time, and revive a number of sweet memories. 🙂 Thank you a lot for that. 🙂 He would have liked your performance... And so did I. 🙂 It's very nice that you share these performances of yours. I like to see you in this particular context and listen to your singing, and as far as I can understand your performance is pretty good. I'd like to see you live, but I'll have to wait until you come touring Europe, and particularly Italy... 😅. And it's interesting to try to identify all the various "techniques" that you use in the kind of performances. What muscle you use when, how do you achieve that "projection" (likely to be the wrong term, technically 😁🤦🏼♂, but that's what I have...), pair postures and gestures with voice emission, that kind of stuff. Very very interesting. 🙂 Thank you for sharing. See you next time!

There were three basses I listened to that reached a higher note at the end of that aria: Sam Ramey, Paata Burchuladze, and Marcel Journet, who I view as my idol along with his protegee, the great basso Ezio Pinza. Speaking of Journet, I recently made a video from a separate YT channel:ruclips.net/video/AacDrzmTGkI/видео.html along with a few on my end in this channel. I was wondering if you have a viewpoint of him. He had the most beautiful bass voice, like those of Ramey, Pinza, Siepi, and yourself, that I ever heard. He was a rival to the great Russian bass Chaliapin and they were both the first two most, prolifically recorded basses in the 78 era. But like Ramey and his protegee Pinza, Journet was able to sing both bass and baritone roles. However, he was heavily involved in the Wagnerian repertoire singing heavy low bass roles until he sang Wotan in the ring cycle, which was suitable for his voice as I quote "a rare example of the classically defined bass-baritone." He was an influence and idol to both bassos Pinza, Nicola Rossi-Lemeni, who brought Maria Callas to work with conductor Tullio Serafin to sing at La Scala in the late 40s, and Samuel Ramey. Ma, meraviglioso e bravissimo Signor Barber!

@@bodiloto I understand that my technique is not perfect, and I'm training every day to improve it. But to say I have the training of a middle schooler is both rude, and incorrect. You also haven't heard my voice in person, and as someone schooled in the singers of old, you should know how much difference that makes. Administrators, singers, coaches, and teachers from major opera houses have heard my voice in recent months, and believe that am either a bass-baritone, or lyric bass/basso cantante. I find I'm most comfortable singing repertoire for true bass. So I ask, compare me not to Siepi, Pinza, Ghiaurov, and Ramey in their prime when I'm just 30 years old. Check back in with me when I'm 45 or 50, and we'll see then.
This type of music is too boring and out of date I´m afraid. The singing is way too polished and old fashion. Music has evolved. The diction also suffers severely from the shouting technique trained opera singers are using, especially the sopranos diction is utterly bad and hardly can be understood, even when sung native language, a pure fail, at least if you want to deliver a message.
Thats why the art of opera never dies becuse it is a unique sound. Always when you hear that sound you know you are hearing opera not some ordinary bloke trying to be another justin bieber
@@martinrogan6641 Without massive subsidies from the state the art form Western Opera will vanish tomorrow, just face the harsh truth. It´s a living dead art form, nothing new of value is produced, still the same songs going around in a circle..

I appreciate the translation... although having read it a couple of times now I think I have more questions than before o_0
Operatic Peter is great!!! Just as entertaining is goofy Peter. Check him out in the Bass Gang. May the Bass be With You!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍
Very nicely done, Peter!! Even if you don’t understand the language you get the gist, and your singing is fantastic!
Bravo!
Thanks for sharing, please also thank the pianist. It is a pleasure to listen to good music and I appreciate your time and talents.
A magnificent performance. And thanks for including the translated libretto.
Bellissimo.
Bravissimo.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Петер, браво!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Bravo, bravo! I love your operatic voice. Such power! Even though just a recording, you can tell that your voice FILLS that room.
That was amazing. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Absolutely magnificent, as always. 💗
Gorgeous!!!!!

Wonderful
Браво! Очень выразительно! Вокал и актёрская игра - великолепны!
Love it Peter!
Bravo
Bravo Peter!! Great job!! Would love to see your opera performance one day!!
Love your performance in every angle!

See you next time!

👍👍
Nice done!!
Very nicely done! You should do more videos educating about opera!
Question: when you have one foot forward, then open your stance, is that to generate more power in your voice?
More operatic awesomeness? I was signed up when I found out this man was a trained opera singer!

"It's not about you, it's about the music"
I love how you get lost in the characters you portray. The same voice feels so different.
I knew you have a classical style! 😃. Hey Peter, r u a baritone or a bass? 🖤
He's a bass-baritone, which is generally considered to be a type subtype of baritone
Not quite as villainous as Don Giovanni. Really enjoying your talent.
Wow. That singing is totally different from your voice. The technique is amazing!!
The acting is as impressive as the singing.
