If only the children of today would listen to this type of music maybe class will come back to what we listen to on the radio and on TV. Find me someone who can even come close to this version and I will be very stunned. This singer is the best at what he does and no one even knows about him. American Idol judges would not know how to deal with such a talent. Danny From Long Island.
Un tout petit peu trop vite Monsieur le chef d'orchestre ... Mais notre "empereur des barytons" est dans sa splendeur , plus quelques exercices de style ... Merci pour le post .
@Lightseeker001 A good singer of any kind, will sing ahead of the beat at times, IF it serves a musical purpose. There are other singers, for example, that generally always sing behind the beat; Frank Sinatra is perhaps the most known this way. One singer that is always AHEAD of the beat was Al Jolson. A really good singer will mix it up to make "good musical sense;' that's one of the things that makes music interesting to listen to.
@lihothand "Rap" outsells Jazz and Classical Music put together. Look at the anger of many Justin Bieber fans when Esperanza Spalding beat him out for a Grammy. Before the advent of long-play records, classical record sales were about 30% of the market.
The most eccentic of all renditions around. Oddly abrupt or horribly rushed, alternating with slower moments on the verge of halting the musical flow altogether. Waste of a fine voice, which could have given much greater service to Rossini's intention.
@CarmenMirandasHat Generally, baritones are overall better singers than tenors simply because the baritone rage is what is natural for a man so the pool that can be drawn upon this way is obviously so much larger. For a man to be able to sing a half-octave higher (tenor) and to do it WELL is what makes great tenors such a rarity by comparison.
Just unbelievable. To be able to sing with such diction so quickly and almost effortlessly. Blows me away every time I hear him.
Wonderful Tibbett--a Met star for many years--here is the reason why. Thank you.
Listen to the range and resonance of this great voice.
Danny -Long Island
Some of those passages left me breathless, never mind him...Sublime
Thanks for posting the incomparable voice and singing of Tibbett.
La voz perfecta de baritono, color, voz, empaque y potencia y docil manejo de ésta aria perfectamente interpretada.
absolutely the best version f Largo Al Factotum

An unsurpassed singer but he meet the bottle 😢 how many talented people has gone under of alchohal..
The Professional (?) Baritones today haven't the vaguest idea how to sing like this as all great Baritones sang in the past
I listened to this as a child 15 years ago on my parents' old records - love it :)
greatest baritone of all!!! and a California boy.
Listen to the range and resonance of this great voice.
Un leone della lirica.
Unico .
Sublime .
❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏

@SatchmoSings
Appreciated, but not in the class of Tibbett, John Charles Thomas and Heinrich Schlusnus
Here's a contemporary version; this guy has real balls:

Good performance. But how would Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau have fared with this?

Preferisco la versione di Tito Gobbi! Le parole sono scandite meglio da Tito
I still prefer Tito Gobbi's version! Words are pronounced better by Tito!
Parlando di Tito Gobbi ...personalmente preferisco la versione di Stefan Zucker ...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@MrSkylark1 Check out Thomas Hampson; he's terrific!!!

Yeah, he's clearly not in their class . . . pretty moronic, actually.
