I love his voice and acting. He was brilliant. I grew up with Prey as Figaro in this very film... I actually cried the day he died. Thank you so much for putting this clip of his up.
My absolute favorite Figaro! Legendary singers Hermann Prey, Mirella Freni, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Kiri Te Kanawa, Maria Ewing all together in a single video, isn´t it perfect? Conducted by Karl Böhm and staged by Jean-Pierre Ponnelle. thanks for posting!
I love it! This is the funniest rendition of this aria ever XD I was guffawing through the whole thing. Hermann Prey is perfect as the smug Figaro and so is Maria Ewing's panic-stricken Cherubino, poor thing (such a cute Cherubino^..^)!
What a great production this was!! I love the young Maria Ewing's Cherubino--overplayed, but you can't take your eyes off her! Earlier in the opera, she delivers a wonderful performance of "Voi che sapete."
Prey was always compared to Fischer-Dieskau - they are soooo different - F-D was a great intellectual and had a wonderful voice - very light, but somehow he managed to sing Verdi and Wagner well. Prey was just glorious-it was one of those perfectly produced voices, round and luscious. He was also a wonderful person.

not only is he the best figaro, he's also the best papagano(magic flute), have you seen his "the erl-king" by Schubert ? his voice is like golden ray of sunshine.
Is that actually Fischer-Dieskau in the background, laughing at the scene? I think he is playing the Count Almaviva. Nice to see both baritones here in one film, because they were the great German baritones of the 20th century. But clearly, Prey has the better role in this opera!
That Cherubino is played by American mezzo Maria Ewing. I have seen a filmed production from Glyndebourne of her as Rosina in The Barber of Seville, and she is good both as an actress and singer, with nice exotic looks too, probably a mulatta or part native American. In playing the title role Richard Strauss' opera SALOME, she was noted for actually appearing completely nude on stage as per the actual stage direction! Maybe she wanted to show how nice looking she was :)
Antillas 636, my friend, Merry Christmas to you! Have you heard of the release by "Deutsche Grammophon" of the complete Mahler/Bernstein DVD collection? I've seen it on TV some years ago and it is very good. For those whom are not (yet...) Hermann Prey fans, just check out how Bernstein salutes him at the end of the 8th Simphony!
@karllegrand yeah i know, i love opera.....but still...maybe it was this specific production that i didnt like...Also, "non piu andrai farfallone amoroso"....i thought this was a bass aria?
As an Italian, I can say we need subtitles for Italian operas too, because not always the singing is clear enough to understand clearly the words, especially when more then one singer are singing different words together; also, this is Italian from centuries ago, so some words and constructions may be not be used anymore, making even more difficult to understand what they're singing about. In fact, when they air opera on Italian TV, it always has subtitles.
Yeah, I do the same for things in English. I've been learning German, and I watch a lot of German movies with German subtitles, as I'm still not quick enough to decipher what is being said at a casual speaker's pace. In opera, especially with Mozart, he'd have 4 people singing 4 completely different statements at the same time.
No, Figaro was written for a basso cantante, a bass with good height - like Cesare Siepi, his performance of this aria (with Erich Kleiber conducting) is my absolute favorite. Kleiber's conducting is a lot more fleet-footed and charming compared to Böhm's wooden conducting too.
i absolutely love that fact that this is an italian opera composed by a german-speaking austrian based on a french play about a spanish barber...

German, not Austrian because Salzburg was independent at the time.

That's the cutest Cherubino I have ever seen
I agree, the great Maria Ewing! :)
outstanding - the whole production is a masterpiece!

Eine Glanzpatie für Hermann Prey. Jeder nimmt ihm den Barbier ab. Einer meiner absoluten Lielingssänger.

Mozart ou Rossini, le meilleur Figaro. Simplement réel. Splendide
He may very well be the very best at playing both Figaros, which is an amazing talent.
Hermann!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩🤩👍👍
not only is he the best figaro, he's also the best papagano(magic flute), have you seen his "the erl-king" by Schubert ? his voice is like golden ray of sunshine.
You shouldn't say that, Dietrich would feel offended. He's a great Papageno too and he really knows a lot of lieder.

Legendary.
Yes it's Maria Ewing.
SUPERBE INTERPRÉTATION ! !
grande interprete
adoro questa voce
I own the DVD! It is great! Prey, Ewing, the great Freni, Dame Kiri, Fischer Diskau! What more could you ask??
Юинг хороша не меньше.
Юинг вообще идут роли травести
Where could I see the whole spectacle?
I wonder who came here too due to the background story of Salierí's fictional march for Mozart from Amadeus......
Fantastic!!! xD
Is that actually Fischer-Dieskau in the background, laughing at the scene? I think he is playing the Count Almaviva. Nice to see both baritones here in one film, because they were the great German baritones of the 20th century.
But clearly, Prey has the better role in this opera!

THERE'S STILL LIFE IN THE OLD LADY YET!
Creo que Hermann Prey es uno de Los grandes baritones y su Figar es lo Ma
the best
Look for Hermann Prey in Wikipedia. How he became a singer. A great story.
Cherubino in this version is played by Maria Ewing? Because he really looks like her.
Yes She is.
@MILKYPISTOL
Oh Lestat. You are so vulagr in you ways, but no one can resist Mozart!
Какой красивый баритон!!!!!!

...e invece del fandango, una marcia per il fango!
@chevrox I'm absolutly agree! Just a genious like Mozart did it :) Of course Lorenzo da Ponte was truly important because the wonderful libreto :)
@chevrox ...sung here by a German Baritone. Wonderful interpretation!
i definitely agree with you do you consider Bryn terfel one of those greats?
where can you get this movie?

Right! Isn't it amazing. Very well pointed!
The helicopter chase scene from 'Hopscotch' (1980)
hermann prey è stato no dei migliori Figaro che siano mai esistiti.
e Siepi?
Personally I think is role is more for a bass.
But I must admit that Prey is great for it too !
The rest is just the same isn’t it
Did you try...
Shouldn't it be a bit more... Or this, this. Yes
Better? What do you think?
I wonder how many people got the reference
@chevrox Viva l'Europa!
A bit on the slow side...
I don't get what is going on in this scene. What is he saying to her?
Certo! Ma forse dopo Bruscantini. E per Nucci intendevo si Figaro, ma nel "Barbiere di Siviglia".
@karllegrand yeah i know, i love opera.....but still...maybe it was this specific production that i didnt like...Also, "non piu andrai farfallone amoroso"....i thought this was a bass aria?

he looks like jack nicolson...
i totally agree with your idea...that's the proof that english has done nothing in the best period for the european music... ;-)
'' You are listening to The Fat Lady Sings, on Double Cleff FM ''
A baritone with strong character and tone could also sing Figaro.
Love it.
Hate to say it, but he outshines Christian van Horn. =p
it looks like he thinks the camera is a little baby... lol... but anyways, the one and only version in my opinion..
lo stile italiano,please.
オペラでは、モーツァルトと
hai scritto non letto..
not bad
No, Figaro was written for a basso cantante, a bass with good height - like Cesare Siepi, his performance of this aria (with Erich Kleiber conducting) is my absolute favorite. Kleiber's conducting is a lot more fleet-footed and charming compared to Böhm's wooden conducting too.
Better than Dieskau
