Diese wunderbare Arie hat Torsten Kerl unübertroffen brillant und intensiv gesungen. Da kann kein anderer Tenor mithalten, weder René Kollo noch Siegfried Jerusalem geschweige denn Rudolf Schock!
That's like you're opinion, man. Not everyone needs to like what you like. Jerusalem sings this extremely difficult aria very beautifully and technically impressive here. It's okay if Kerl is still your favorite. No need to shit on others.
Cavaradossi10 and datb306, thank you, you've provided the technical details and I do appreciate them. I cannot imagine a better evaluation than, "flawed, but simply wonderful." The emotional force of Jerusalem's singing has always overridden any quibbles that I may have had with his vocal production. In addition, he was such an attractive and sexy man.
The voice is far from perfect, but the idiosyncrasies--the hint of a bleat, the slight lisp, the musky tone that betrays that SJ was a pretty heavy smoker--all have a visceral effect. He's flawed, but simply wonderful.
Thank you so much for this - I heard it many years ago and it is so good to hear it again. Siggy was so wonderful live - yes too open and technically flawed sometimes but that timbre remains one of the most appealing in that repertoire in the post-war period. Not as naturally gifted as Wunderlich or as 'clever' as Windgassen, but terrific all the same. I recommend his Tamino with Haitink.
I know what you mean. It does sound that way. I think he just has one of these voices that doesn't record well. His voice has that forward, masky quality that would carry very well in a house, but when recorded, the real greatness of the voice just doesn't capture.
OMG, how can you even try to compare Jerusalem, Seiffert, Schock with Pavarotti - they have totally different voice from Pavarotti. Let beside he's Italian and they are not, but they were/are into germanic repertoire and he was never... They were all very good tenors (all 4 I mean), but I different roles...
Eine der schönsten Stimmen in seinen besten Zeiten !!!! Und 2023 wird der Welt ein Vogt serviert...o, Himmel....!
Eine grossartige Stimme.Ich hatte die Freude ihn vor vielen jahren
auf der Bühne als Max im Freischütz zu erleben.
My all time favorite tenor . Heard him many times, especially his Lohengrin in Bayreuth!
Fabulous ! Thank
You for the joy you bring .

Das trifft zu. Noch schlechter war nur James King.
.. mit 60 war James King noch brillanter und technisch versierter als der Kerl..

Oh boy, THANK YOU!

Maravillosa Aria para una magnifica voz..¡¡
My favorite recording of this. Thank you.
Herrlich gesungen von Jerusalem, finde es besser als von Kollo, wirklich sehr gut ,
He sang Tristan and Siegfried, the latter at the met. when I heard him live, he stuck me to the back wall.
...perfekte Stimmführung!

this is AMAZING!

thanks to Leonora for the German lyrics, I'll get to work with my dictionary and translate. I get the general gist but that's not good enough!

Can anyone please give me the lyrics, either in German or English?
It's so beautiful. Thanks.
If you can find the libretto, perhaps with a recording of the opera, this is at the end of Act 3.
Best as template for my audition
@Leonora48
Danke shoen.
@castodivo Listen to his Strauss Orchestral Songs, and you'll change your mind.
BELLO BELLO MUY BELLO
Grosartiger Sanger Alter Schule
No its not.
Yes, Pavarotti sang in bel canto style, Germanic harsh to ear in few ways....
