All of these copyright warnings are grotesque... Sony, Rebeat Digital, Preiser... the recordings come from old LPs that have nothing to do with these corporations. They usually don't even bother to buy the rights to publish old recordings. They just do it and then claim the copyright.
They often can't even label these recordings right. They once labelled live don Carlo recording from Moscow (uploaded on my channel) as 1961 studio recording with Santini. It's ridiculous.

He was a legend in Vienna and when he finally retired the audience presented him.with a gold ring -a unique gesture Nobody sang a top D like him -You could call him.a German speaking Corelli..He actually trained as an industrial chemist -not as a singer and was largely self taught by comparison to.most of his contemporaries .He still was singing like this in his late 60's!!!
he sang and sang and sang! about onehundred nights every year in the berlin stateopera, reichsrundfunk, guesting in vienna, for decades, through the thirties and forties and into the fifties... it seemed to be his gym.
an incredible voice and a technique, that served him well into his sixties! And he isn't even famous nowadays. If we had one tenor of his caliber today!
One of the greatest I heard his voice was bigger than Del Monaco from someone who knew both of them Michael Trimble studied under Del Monaco and mentioned it
The thing with Del Monaco is that his middle register as huge and loud. But other tenors like Lauri Volpi, Corelli and Rosvaenge had louder or bigger high notes.
@SuperMagren Because young singers are not willing to study and sacrifice themselves for long and because there are no good teachers.The public is not prepared and is satisfied with a mediocre level.Finally,business commands..
Hay otro factor: antes los cantantes viajaban en barcos, luego la garganta descansaba mucho más; hoy se viaja en avión y en máximo un día ya se llegó al lugar de la siguiente función. Otro factor hoy son pocos los cantantes que rechazan un rol pesado porque todavía la voz no ha madurado lo suficiente. Roesvenge es un caso raro de un tenor que abordaba desde roles líricos hasta dramáticos. No sé si un di Stefano era algo parecido; desgraciadamente no cantaba en italiano ni francés (o me equivoco?) y eso lo coloca en la lista de "ilustres desconocidos".

Danke für diese großartige Aufnahme. Eine mühevolle Arbeit - aber es zeigt, wie Helge Rosvaenge fast mühelos alle seine Partien meisterte. Gottseidank habe ich ihn noch einige Male auf der Bühne in Wien erlebt.
I have an old recording (about 1928) of Sobinjin's Aria from Glinka's Life For the Czar which has a "shower of high C's" as described on the record sleeve which is very impressive. The Db from the Rigoletto aria and the D from the Postillion aria (2nd recording in 1936)were stunning in their effortless production and ringing tone. Thank you for the video.

He was totally sensational apart from his fenomenal high C. Musicality, beauty, power, finesse, beauty, artistry, intelligence - he had all this qualities. From Tamino to Otello indeed.
Voce titanica... Vocalmente nel repertorio lirico spinto era alla pari dei più grandi, per armonici bruniti, potenza, squillo ed estensione, una forza della natura, si parla poco lui. Peccato che canta quasi esclusivamente in tedesco. Grazie per il post.
@@XlikeZero Why dark? His voice is too heavy and strong to be a lyric tenor voice. Want hear the difference? Listen to Jerry Hadley or Fritz Wunderlich, lyric tenor voices.....
Per qualità della voce, tecnica canora e talento interpretativo è stato uno dei pochi Tenori Totali di sempre. Capace di affrontare un repertorio da Mozart a Strauss, uno dei più grandi interpreti di Verdi e del Verismo. Miglior Tamino, Florestan, Huon, Bacchus della storia del canto. Nessuno ha cantato il terzo atto del Ballo in Maschera come Lui. È il mio tenore preferito. Solo Lauri Volpi e forse Lazaro gli possono essere accostati. Memo per chi studia canto oggi: la tecnica vocale corretta è una e solo una. Non fatevi infinocchiare da dilettanti e praticoni.
....a perfect natural voice with the appropriate teachers formed an outstanding artist. He was unwilling to learn other languages. One the tenors who could sing a ringing „i“! He didn’t want to learn foreign languages. So did e.g. Hans Hopf, however his heavy Wagner is sung in German anyway. Furthermore Rosvaenge was wise enough to concentrate on his part of the repertoire, the basic requirement for a long sustainable career. Being Dane and part of the NS Culture Clan, indispensable for Hitler &Co will always leave a shadow on this truly outstanding Tenor.
You're not quite correct about Rosvaenge's repertoire. He frequently sang Mozart. That helped to keep his voice lighter and slender. In singing only spinto and dramtic repertoire, one can fall into the trap of singing wider and heavier. He was smart enough to know that, so mixed into his performance schedule lighter roles where he had to sing in a lighter, more slender manner, and he used this in his more dramatic roles as well.
Thank you for posting these short clips, so the generation of today can enjoy this great voice!!! He was one of the best tenors in the world!!! Unfortunately, not recognized fully as he would have deserved! ❤
Yes - a wonderful compilation; thank you. I would only point out that male singers generally sing in only one register - their lower - no matter how high they go, unless they break into their falsetto (their true upper register). Calling a tenor's top notes their "top register" confuses the issue. I only wish he hadn't sung almost exclusively in German - as was normal then, of course.
That is totally untrue. You have no idea what you're talking aobut and shouldn't spread nonsense like that!!! The chest register only goes to an F. If men only sang in their lowest register, there would be no tenors!!!! Falsetto is not their upper register either. Falsetto doesn't exist in opera. Falsetto is an unsupported high sound that one hears in pop music. Thinks Frankie Valli or the boy bands. Opera singers blend their three registers so it sounds as if there is only one register. They are singing in mixed voice. In most genres of opera pure head voice is rarely used, and pure chest voice is almost never used. Singers sing in "mixed voice."
@@craigcollins6904 I am not going to argue because everything you say is anti-physiological delusion easily refuted by a basic understanding of vocal anatomy.
ROFLMAO! You shouldn't argue becaue you're wrong and have no clue what you're talking about! I am a professional opera singer and voice teacher. Saying that male singers only sing in their lower register is laughable and shows that you have ZERO knowledge of male voices and singing.
@@craigcollins6904 Your aggressive manner, unprovoked rudeness and ignorance probably account for your obscurity. I happen to have considerable and similar experience of my own but I am not entering into a slanging match if you insist on perpetuating and perpetrating a vocal myth. Mixed register is destructive and great male singers, while ensuring that they maintain and develop their falsetto register in order to ensure vocal health and proper muscular development, do not use falsetto except for special effects, such as Caruso's concluding pure, pharyngeal top C. I would have thought it possible to have a civilised discussion about such things without immediate resort to insult, but your insecurity precludes that.
Le opere italiane in tedesco non si possono sentire, se sono state scritte in italiano vanno eseguite nella loro lingua originale, così come quelle in francese e in tedesco, tutto va eseguito nella lingua originale.
@@boundary2580 German is much more difficult to sing lyrically in than German, because it is a more consonant- and syllabic-oriented language, whereas Italian is very fluid and phrase-oriented. That doesn't haven anything to do with whether the throat is fully open or not. The sound of singerse from that era has more to do with the primitive recording equipment than the way they sang.
@Jimmy Choo Au contraire! That isn't correct. One doesn't sing like that if one's throat isn't open and relaxed. He sang with a more slender tone so that his voice would last and so that he could sing anything. He had a very wide range of repertoire, including a good bit of Mozart and roles with higher tessituras that he couldn't have sung if his throat wasn't open. Corelli sang with more weight and with a lower placement in his lower register. Corelli started tinkering with his technique at the end of his career and trying to lighten up, and that probably caused some of his issues late in his career. He told me that he felt he had oversupported, and had tried to lighten up. His technique was not nearly as good or as solid as Rosvaenge's.
@@魚-c3d I disagree with you. The comment concerning openess of throat is knowledgeable. This voice is wonderful...astonishing...but it is natural to compare the top, sustained notes to certain well known tenors in the same roles. And on the highest notes, this voice sounds a bit constrained, particularly in comparison to the free and open sounding voices of Corelli, Del Monaco, etc. In addition, the German language, with its preponderance of consonants, keeps vocal cords in closed positions. I disagree with the comment (Boundary) concerning "time period". The difference seems to be the language, and not the time period. Many well known and highly respected tenors sang through the same time period...and with openess of sound...mainly in Italian.
@@falkfink I undersrand, but this is horrible. Carlos Gomes' daughter wrote that it was almost a "crime", in other words, to sing transated opera. I agree. It looses sonority and acoustic sounds.
