I think I can hear the cigarettes he used to smoke ... 😅 His voice is so extremely beautiful and noble and humble at the same time, but there's kind of a slimy mucuus-ridden layer covering it when he speaks in this record, I'd say.
According to the facts Siepi mentions, this interview occurred early in October 1967. Mr. Siepi was 44 years old at that time. Met Archives list Siepi as giving 10 performances between October and December of 1967: eight Nozze di Figaro; two Forza del Destino.
@@Hexmeyer Singing, Siepi's low voice greatly exceeded that of Ghiaurov. An amusing story: During a dresses rehearsal for Götterdämmerung at LO Chicago, I was backstage chatting with Bengt Rundgren (the Hagen). Ghiaurov & Freni came in, with Nicolai speaking in his lowest bass voice. Rundgren responded by speaking an octave lower!
@bradycall1889 not when i heard him speak! I was in the room when he was being interviewed( in Italian). The tables and floor shook, and he used a wide range when speaking. Very mellifluous. Almost like Paul Robedon or James Earl Jones. I think a singers speaking voice is fascinating. Some tenors talk high on purpose to stay warmed up (Domingo) and Tucker spoke like a baritone.
Salve! premi sull'icona SOTTOTITOLI, la seconda verso destra in basso, poi su IMPOSTAZIONI (icona a forma di ingranaggio). Si aprirà un menù a tre voci in cui si leggerà "SOTTOTITOLI-INGLESE GENERATI AUTOMATICAMENTE, e a destra una freccina sarà visibile. cliccando su di essa si potrà accedere alla funzione "traduzione automatica". Non è sempre precisissima ma rende comunque l'idea. Spero di essere stato d'aiuto. Un saluto!
His speaking Voice is low and relaxed. It doesn't overly dark or forced like other basses speaking voices! His speaking Voice sounds a lot like Pinzas!!
I was surprised by Pinza in the movies. Higher than i expected, but he used a very wide range if you check the pitches of his speech. Seemed natural . In contrast to those bassos that want everyone to know. Jerome Hines could be that way I think. And amateurs of course. Look up any interview with Ghiaurov. Its beautiful! ( he prefered to speak Italian in interviews which adds to the beautiful.
Siepi`s English sounds French. He was born in Milan in 1921, not 1923, where the people mostly speak Lombardian dialekt with palate R like the French speak. Palate R is spoken all over the Lombardia to Modena. I talked a lot with Siepi since 1974 in Genova

If only someone could write a biography of this so wonderful bass. I rever him almost like a saint.

I've used this video in my own videos on several occasions!
What a VOICE!! League of its own even when was talking!
What a lovely speaking voice to complement such a wonderful singing voice! Thank you!
A great artist and down-to-earth human being. No pretence.
Speaks at a casual D2
And drops to Bb1 a few times 😁
@@MultiKamil97 Really? Didn't realize that. I thought he only spake down to a chest C2. I mean, I think I heard him speak briefly at a strohbass Bb1.
@@bradycall1889 Yeah, for example in 1:23 when he says "sing him also", he drops to Bb1 at the end of the word "also".
@@MultiKamil97 Oh now I hear it I think.
He indeed sounds low pitched and rich when speaking.
대단하십니다~~!!! 오늘 저희 부산오페라감상실 오페라바움에서 1시에 감상회가 있는데 연광철선생님 오페라 반코역 베를린 국립오페라 극장에서 플라시도 도밍고, 안네 넵트리코와 같이 공연하는거 감상하게 될거같아서 기대됩니다.. 자랑스럽네요
Voce straordinaria anche nel parlato. Un basso unico, inarrivabile. Il Basso per antomomasia 🎩
Thank you so much for this!
This is a great interview - thank you!

La classe, in tutto.
Interesting to hear him speak. Not as "bassy" as I'd expect. Ghiaurov, for example speaks like he is singing- low & legato.
Siepi was much lower than Ghiaurov

He sounds quite bassy to me.
And though singing voice-wise they're about the same, Nicolai Giaurov has a higher-pitched speaking voice with less overtone richness than Siepi.

Though it is somewhat lighter than Pinza’s. It sounds relatively normal compared to his singing voice.
It's quite similar to Ferruccio Furlanetto's as well.

김호중님 카페에 어느분이 소개 해주어 매료가되어 찿아다니는 중입니다 잘은 모르지만 저는 감동적이에요 잘 듣고 자주 보겠습니다 감사합니디2
Siepi’s speaking voice is super sexy and gorgeous. I want to resemble him in every aspect.

I agree. He sounds almost Spanish in his speaking voice...
@@flanplan5903 No, FRENCH he sounds! A lot of people in the valley of the river Po speak so in North-Italy since the occupation of Napoleon.
We all do.
I wished that I could sound like him when talking. He sounds like a handsome dude in conversations, and he also looks handsome, too.
귀한 음악 감사합니다
어제 잠간 인사드릴 수 있었던 기쁨에 감사드립니다. 다른 어떤 국내외 성악가들보다 교수님의 슈베르트가곡은 더 감동적이네요!
Resonant, disciplined, heartfelt rendition.
RIP Grandma 💜🙏🏻💙
