nobody, and I mean NOBODY like Kurt Moll...ever...but I am very surprised by Berry!!!! bravoooooo!!!
Agreed! But I wonder, did Josef Greindl ever sign the part, and is there a recording?
@@skakdosmer Yes. And Greindl's low C is good. Live recording, too. czcams.com/video/l-uc0iW7_cE/video.html Berry never hit low C on his several live recordings
@@seancoxen3329 Thank you! I was looking for a recording by Greindl, too, but this one escaped my attention... His studio recording of "Da lieg ich" was all I found.
In case anybody is interested, the phrase is at ca 48.05
@@hugodraslikheard it, liked it :)
Walter Berry had an amazing low C, especially when you think about the fact that he was actually a bass-baritone
Sounds effortless, like breathing.
I heard my distant relative Aage Haugland on more occasions in the mid 80´s and remember him being able to expend his deep C for a longer stretch of time than here, actually walking away from the Feldmarschallin while still singing it. It was not a coal black sound like Moll´s but still resonant enough to reach down to the last rows of the auditorium.
Kurt Moll and Walter Berry by far the best!
Completely agree
Yes, absolutely right. Several of these guys should simply have gone up an octave. Berry’s range is amazing: he also sang Papageno, which could pretty much be sung by a tenor. Hermann Prey also had a lower register that put many basses to shame.
The Berry recording, done in the studio, is not indicative of his actual abilities. I've heard him as Ochs in several live performances and he NEVER hit the low C and at times struggled with the D's and E's.
@@seancoxen3329 wow
@@seancoxen3329 that seems more likely…he is a bass baritone and not a low bass..well, good for him that he recorded this low C! It is for the ages! :):) nobody like Moll…there are live recordings here on youtube…from Vienna and from the Met…amazing…
Kurt Moll und Walter Berry sind meine Favoriten.
Kurt Moll insuperabile!
Ich bin so stolz auf mein Autogramm von Kurt Moll in meiner Parsifal Partitur. Sein Gurnemanz ist legendär.
It's really ridiculous how Kurt Moll could overpower all other 16 basses without problem.
Truly a centenary bass and a super low one at that. The fact that he could reach both the lowest registers and still manage to sing Es and Fs in the higher ranges is just a gift from the gods. That and insane amounts of work.
Hats off to you, Kurt Moll. I miss you.
Walter Berry is the biggest surprise in this.
Kurt Moll, legendär und unübertrefflich 🎉🎉🎉
Walter Berry very surprising, and beautiful, Kurt Rydl not surprising and the amazing Herr Moll. So many beautiful, world class voices.
Kur Moll by far the best (another galaxy)
Kurt Moll was king, not surprised in the slightest.
Kurt Moll rules and Walter Berry is also very good.
Kurt moll the best❤
Il ruolo del barone Ochs è sempre stato un grande cavallo di Kurt Moll, che domina incontrastato. Ottimo anche Walter Berry.
Hearing Berry is even more impressive to me, as I heard him the first time as a Rossini's Don Magnifico
Kurt Moll❤
Kurt Moll and Walter berry were the best.
What a great compilation 👌🥂 Thanks for the research and hard work of stringing it together!
Moll and weber
I'm surprised that Walter Berry is listed online as "only" a bass-baritone. That low C of his was powerful, rivalling who I consider the dominant heavyweight in this list of singers (Kurt Moll). Anyone who can sing C2 with that much power is a basso profundo in my book. By that same token, some of the low Cs are utter jokes, such as Manfred Jungwirth's or Günther Groissböck's attempts.
I disagree that good low notes make you a bass. For example my teacher has a better C2 than some of the singers in this video, but listening to him he is obviously a relatively high baritone.
@@falkfink Do you then consider timbre and weight to matter as much as, or more than, the ability to hit the note, or even hit it loudly?
Kurt Moll the best!
At 1:58 the way Kurt Bohme sang that C2, it sounded very much like subharmonic technique (I am about 90% sure it was). Never heard it used in an operatic context, and it was really surprising, and the way he made it match his timbre is pretty amazing in it's own right.
It's very pressed, not subharmonics. There's technically no lower limitation on the chest voice, if you define it as periodic movements of the entire vocal folds. However: when singing, you can apply a modified valsalva manuever, to extend the low range by increasing the closed quotient, leading to presed phonation where the folds have an extended period where they're closed, lengthening the period time and lowering the pitch. This doesn't sound good, and cant exactly be called healthy, starting to resemble fry or in texture. In a spectrograph, you'll see that the fundamental tone (lowest frequency) is comparatively weak in relation to the overtones, with a lot of sound energy in a very high range that's unordered ( not neat peaks and valleys)

Kurt Böhme was a "higher" bass.
He was not "black".
I know him since more than 60 years.
Ugh, stfu about subharmonics already
Same thoughts here, right off the bat!
Thank you for a thorougt technical answer@@sum41foreverown
Some of these earlier guys really had to push out the C2, barely made it...
Petition for Morris Robinson to plays Ochs!
Ludwig Weber is the best.
He really is!
@@benjaminwashington2087 I would love to hear Karl Perron’s low C too, this role was written for him.
List, Weber and Moll are out of race.
Moll ist einer der besten, Weber gefällt mir auch sehr. Der letzte in dieser Auflistung eher schwach.
Moll war halt DAS große C 🤣, hab ich schon live gehört, da bleibt einem der Kiefer hängen
Kurt Moll...Such difference...
Современные басы звучат как баритоны
Most of them couldn't cut it down there. But List, Weber, and Moll did. Surprisingly, Berry did well with the low C even though his voice was more baritone than bass.
You really can’t judge anything on recordings. Many amazing talents here for sure though.
Theo Adam war im 2. Anlauf auch nicht schlecht und besser als beim 1. Anlauf.☺️
Günther Groissböck wtf is that lmao
My favorite, and hilarious comedy by GG
what is lmao?
I agree! WTF!
@@baritono1974 Laughing my Ass off.
Walter Berry and Kurt Moll. The others are either barely audible, incorrect pitch or groveling. Its would be wonderful to hear Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Romanian, Hungarian and Armenian basses or perhaps an Italian or two
Kurt Moll is the best. I think that Walter Berry is the second one. Kurt Moll é o melhor. Creio que Walter Berry está em segundo lugar.
Das C im Rosenkavalier ist "verschenkt".
Anders ist das, wenn es eingebaut wird, hier z.B.
czcams.com/video/RPxU6HFWV98/video.html
There is Neidlinger?
Last one is quite bad
EDuard Wollitz would have done it well
Missing: Gottlob Frick; Matti Salminen; Jerome Hines.
Hines by his own admission did not have a low C.
Gottlob Frick never sang this role!
What a pity
@@benjamin91025 yes Frick always refused to sing Ochs.
Moll, Berry and Weber. The last one is a joke
theo adam was absolutely pathetic 🤣
War es so kompliziert einfach zu schreiben- wer wann singt?!!!
It is there. Just open the "description" (below the play button -> title of the video -> name of the channel -> number of views, date of upload -> there it is.)
Groisbock é uma piada.
