Which is why most of the modern or rather modern singers, whose singing voice is considered immortal and inimitable, are baritones. Frank Sinatra, Elvis Pressley, Freddie Mercury (Yes, Freddie mercury was definately a Baritone, though a light baritone), John Lennon, Johnny Cash.....Just to name the greatest of the great names..... But I must say that it's really nice to read words like yours because baritones often have to train way harder and more often than bass-singers or tenors and often don't get the credit for their hard work. How do i know that? I'm a choir singer and naturally a baritone, but most of the times i'm forced to sing the tenor parts or bass singer parts because most choir materials only include Tenor or bass singer voice lines.
@@martenspitzner408 Tenor, humbug! I love a talented baritone-bass, my husband. My father was a baritone as well. I love church choirs and opera, but frankly, tenors bore me - a dime a dozen. To you, Martin, may I suggest soloing at church?
@@lacemaker427swohio5 Once it's allowed to sing in churches, again, i might start to do that for me mother. For years, I She ( a mezzo soprano) kept asking and begging me to join her choir and some two years ago, when i started to train my singing voice for fun( i sing in mixed modern/opera style like Freddie Mercury did) , she invited me to a voice training session she and friends from her choir joined once a year. And for the love of me mother i joined her choir afterwards and thanks to insisting to train in the bass ( though I'm naturally a light and high baritone like Freddie Mercury was) , i can now sing as deep as F2, on a good day even an E2 ( normally Baritones can only sing as deep as around G2). And boy you can tell how happy she now is by a simple look in her eyes.
@@martenspitzner408 oh my god??? So far i thought these are singers were tenors I mean Frank Sinatra and Freddie Mercury holy sh*T🤣, although i'm baritone but i'm also countertenor but there is only one university where I could improve my voice further as a countertenor but I have just started music high school so university is still unaproachable for me😅
@@erikhorvath4297 A baritone can't be a countertenor as well. they in fact couldn't be further away from each other in all terms. A countertenor doesn't have the warmth and strength in his voice while a baritone can only hit countertenornotes with his head voice, but it wouldn't sound like a countertenor. What's likely is that you are a light baritone with an extended vocal range towards the high notes ( Meaning a baritone with a well trained head voice). So am i as well by the way and so was Freddie Mercury.
Hampson is no baritone !!!! Should have included the greatest of all : Titta Ruffo Should have also included Apollo Granforte, Guiseppe Danise, Giangiacomo Guelfi or Afro Poli
Fleming: "Why so much of Bastianini?" My my my, what a question! Probably the uploader of this video rightly considers Bastianini, as I and millions of people from all corners of the world do, one of the best baritones ever lived. Nevertheless, you are right, some others, like Apollo Granforte, Gobi etc. should have been included in this video. Coming to the rest of your comment...Raimondi is mostly considered a basso, sometimes, in my view correctly a bass-baritone. As far as I know he is not characterised as one of the greats in either category. Your last remark, "No Russian baritones. " Slavic peoples and Russions produce great Bassos. I am not aware of any great Russian baritone who would have deserved to be included in this video.
I only hear 3 different baritones. The other one of which name I don't want to remember, is not, will not and was never a baritone. Just a disgrace of a baritone. A product of people who never understood anything about voices, like Levine and company. Bastiannini, as always a lesson of how a baritone SHOULD sound.
Bastianini is the only one here who could be considered one of 'the best' - many would put him right at the top, purely in terms of his vocal ressources, second only to Ruffo, maybe, or Tibbett. But the others ... As other people have said, there are lots of great baritones missing. If you like Tito Gobbi, as I do, take a look at this video presentation I've put together: ua-cam.com/video/SXpyyijw7Rs/v-deo.html
Thomas hampsons rendition of largo, is the best? That's laughable. There is an army of Korean unknown baritones that would top this performance, any day of the week.

One can argue whether Bastianini was the greatest baritone, or whether he only belongs after a number of other top baritones who are even better - but few opera buffs would ridicule anyone who places Bastianini first, simply because of the glorious beauty and size of his voice. However, with all due respect, placing three of his recordings alongside one by Hampson, an OK but far weaker baritone in both voice and singing, as well as a mediocre Torreador Song performance by a 3rd rate singer is almost laughable.

I love Bastianini's great baritone voice
This is the first time I hear Bastianini. What a wonderful singer.
Realy ?? Where have you been all those years 😄😅
@@ingriddoppler better late than never!
So glad you found him! I myself came to baritones late, and I've never looked back! The great Tito Gobbi is one of the best singers of all time.
So happy to have fund these amazing baritones, when the tenors seem to get most of the love. A talented baritone will out sing a tenor any day!

What about Dmitri Hvrostovsky?He had a beautiful baritone voice.
@@joandebruin3847 he definitely wasn't a great baritone, no power no real depth. Definitely not in the league of the ones I mentioned.
Also Umberto Urbano
I like Bruson.
good collection, but wish it showed the baritones while singing the arias.
That was magnificent!
Why so much of Bastianini? No Gobbi. No Raimondi. No Russian baritones. Very limited.

Gracias por la loable labor suya
Nice picks! One if my favorites is Tre Sbirri, Una Carozza
Dont tell me i have to learn italian (even neapolitan) to sing baritone opera x(....
The first two aren't opera arias, they are Neapolitan songs. Hampson's Largo is far from the best recording. He sounds like a tenor singing the aria.
"Il mare eterno nella mia anima" - is also a wonderful song
I see you jojo reference ;)

Come on man! How about a libretto!
Come on man, internet will help you!
Excellent choices!
Ária de Ópera é bem diferente de Core Ingrato que é Canção Napolitana

You are so right about Hampson. His greatest gift is his ambassadorship of song. But I admire anyone who achieves their dreams.
