Боже, какой гениальный Певец! Какая филировка звукв, какие фортиссимо,, какое звуковедение, какой актер!!!! Нет равных таким певцам, хотя есть и сейчас хорошие певцы, но Христов и Гяуров стоят обособленно. Вот у кого надо учиться как правильно петь!!!! Настоящее пение и игра на сцене!!! Браво!!!
What I appreciate about this ... he sings the first part looking like he is half-asleep, half in a nightmare ... and then comes fully awake to realize that the nightmare is real and he has been up all night... details... exhausted and heartbroken and in despair ... but with flashes of energy that tell us he is still a mighty man and will put up a fight until he reaches the Escurial! Masterfully done!
I heard him sing this role at Covent Garden in the 1978-79 season, so it is a treat to hear this on UA-cam. I will never forget the voice and the sheer impact of his stage presence.
Sublime interpretazione Il Dolore di un Re. Non aggiungo altro dinanzi al Dolore profondo regale o non il dolore x me è sacro e queste interpretazioni sono divine. 🙏💙🌷
🌈🌈🌈 Борис Христов - тембър, който не можеш никога да сбъркаш и никога не можеш да забравиш!!! Гений, благословен с нечовешки глас и душевност. Настръхваш и се пренасяш в едно друго измерение - на безвремието и благодат🍀🍀🍀
Un'uomo combattuto e lacerato, tra il potere istituzionale che rappresenta e la dominante chiesa cattolica. Un brano in cui tutti prima o poi ci ritroviamo, nei momenti di sconforto. Interpretazione inarrivabile del grande Boris Christoff
Ciao davide lucia, dopo averli ascoltati e riascoltati e riascoltati ancora, trovo che la profondità vocale di Cesare Siepi sia quella che preferisco in assoluto. Saluti.
Borish Christoff's performances always give me goosebumps. the emotional intensity is such that I cannot even listen to the recordings sometimes. He is a true magician. . the Merlin of opera
E meraviglioso ! One of the two great bassos named Boris. Christoff and the lesser known but equally superb Boris Shtokolov. Mille grazie amlirico for sharing this rare piece of opera video with us. Deeply moving singing by a wonderful artist !
the greatest of the greats. a stage direction of rare intelligence. no rosary beads, games with the candles, over-acting. Pure introspection, interpreted musically with lightness of thought - or was lightness the reality in numbness of hurt, resignation?... Philips first 'Amore per me, non ha ...', so tender, tenderness of a simple human being, a King perhaps, but stung by love's delusion. Great ... Verdi's sentiments are done justice.
Someone mentioned 'generic' basses: great rumbling, woofy tone with wobbly vibratos. Then there are masters like Christoff, Gobbi, Pinza, Natzke, Dawson, Chaliapin who can produce any dynamic or tone of voice that the music demands. Brava to this incredible maestro!
Christoff restitue toute la palette de sentiments qu'éprouve le roi, voix profonde et chaude, immense technique, grand art du chant, avec l'autre Boris, Stokholov, ils sont merveilleux
He is a great reminder that opera is about music AND theater. If one of the two is missing it is not whole. There are plenty of great voices. Not enough great actors and singers. That is why Christoff is among the greatest.
There are never many great voices, and today there are few. Christoff was not a great actor compared to the greats. Great basses like Tozzi, Siepi and Hines considered him almost a joke.
OscarLevant1 OscarLevant1, you do not have to be offensive to prove your point. A great artist is also a humble one. So, no artist that qualifies his colleague as "joke" could be great.
No words can express the emotions this artist always awakens in me ~ his voice and interpretation skills were unique. ~ Thank you so much, dear @Kievest, for sending me this and @amlirico for sharing this magnificent footage with us , and above all, THANKS to Boris Christoff for the many moments of joy and excitement he brought to our lives.
Най-великият глас на България,покорил световните сцени!Няма какво да се спори за гласа му ,той звучи великолепно!Не съм слушала по-интелигентен прочит на ролята на крал Филип.Борис Христов е не само велик певец, но и голям артист,който проникновено тълкува ролите.Велик!Гордост за България!Трябва да му се издигне паметник!!!
Невероятен глас, невероятен Борис Христов! Incredible voice, incredible Boris Hristov! Voce incredibile, incredibile Boris Hristov! Unglaubliche Stimme, unglaublicher Boris Hristov!
Comment peut-on chanter cet aria aussi merveilleusement. Siepi et Ghiaourov sont les seuls depuis à avoir égalé cette émotion. Le reste, les autres..., mais quel reste? Quels autres?
Of course other bassos try to laugh at him. Because their personalities can never match his. Compare this magnificent singing with his later performance when he was 68 years old. Despite that he naturally has gotten his flaws by then, he is still one of opera historys marvels.
Christoff sang Mephistopheles in the first stereo recording of Faust, which I bought 61 years ago. I was blown away by his voice and his vocal acting. His voice reminded me of the great Boris Chaliapin. I began comparing recordings. IMHO, in vocalism alone, I would give first place to Christoff. I never saw him in person but I have seen his interpretations of roles on video and he is nothing short of magnificent. I have sung this aria in concert with a number of symphony orchestras. I don't think that I could hold a candle to this interpretation.
@Floriana Pasquinelli Che ne pensa del nostro grandissimo ed amatissimo Cesare Siepi in quest'aria? Una voce profonda come la sua (di Siepi, intendo) io non l'ho mai sentita da nessuno.
Such a "soave" attack in every note he sings!!!wow, he is amazing, specially for a so robust and big bass voice. He sounds more ellegant than most of the singers I heard.Bravo!!!, really a "lyrical jewel" with Boris Christoff (I meet some time a go a Johann Christop, that said his real name was "Christoff"; he was a great baritone, sadly passed away). Thanks again and Bravo!!!
Боже, какой гениальный Певец! Какая филировка звукв, какие фортиссимо,, какое звуковедение, какой актер!!!! Нет равных таким певцам, хотя есть и сейчас хорошие певцы, но Христов и Гяуров стоят обособленно. Вот у кого надо учиться как правильно петь!!!! Настоящее пение и игра на сцене!!! Браво!!!

One of the great voices of the 20th Century. The dark color and sheer masculinity are captivating.
Браво! Брависсимо! Замечательный вокал, точный сценический образ, мысль и чувство в глазах.
Breathtaking performance! The best Philip I ever heard!
Yes! He's the best Philip I but the best Philip II is Cesare Siepi.

Bass
Incredible bass reaching so high octavas
A King
Глубина и проникающая искренность безусловно, один из величайший из басов...На ряду с Ф. Шаляпиным лучший интепретатор Мусоргского!
Il était un merveilleux Méphisto avec Nicolaï Gedda dans Faust.
Thrilling, iconic, never to be forgotten!
Simply magnificent! A performance for the ages.
interpretazione straordinaria di un artista indimenticabile!

Такой голос и такое исполнение...
Неповторим, незаменим, просто гениален е нашият Борис Христов!💕🎶💕
The best voice that has ever existed.
...so beautifully sung, so deeply felt...!
Uno dei più grandi interpreti di ogni tempo!!! Grazie
@giampierone010 dici bene "uno dei più grandi...". Ma continuerò a preferire la profondità di Cesare Siepi.
Un gigante. Commovente. È realmente ciò che interpreta.
Uno dei pezzi musicali piu' belli della storia della musica interpretato magistralmente.
Gratifying to see how many vocal buffs now fully appreciate the manifold virtues of this magisterial vocal icon. Bravo Boris!
Велик българин и певец!
Qué se puede decir? No hay palabras ante esta interpretación magistral;absoluta;genial.
cuando un Dios canta ntros simplemente escuchamos,

Sorry, but Gobbi wasn't a bass.
and add Ghiaurov

Tito Gobbi was a baritone

Intersting notion. Do you have a quote of Tozzi or Siepi on Christoff?

OscarLevant1, you do not have to be offensive to prove your point. A great artist is also a humble one. So, no artist that qualifies his colleague as "joke" could be great.
Thank you, Krum Arnaudov! Couldn't put it better. NO DOUBT Christoff is one of the greatest, and THE GREATEST for many.
Not all artists are humble. In fact most are not, but I apologize if I have offended any fans of Christoff.
Meravigliosa interpretazione!! Voce stupenda
MAGISTRALE!!!!!
haven't listened to him for about a year. every time he blows me away.
Grande verdi grande interprete
Christoff defined what a truly great basso is. So grateful to have seen him on stage and heard him. The voice of the Volga.
Of the VOLGA????? He is Bulgarian, Not Russian!!!!
@silverbud Must have been a Bulgarian accent, because he was not Russian.
@silverbud no it doesnt
un timbre unique reconnaissable entre tous, une légende en somme
The best Filipo II ever. Christoff wasn't a singer he was a dragon!
@Stevie dit le wonder I think the best in this aria is Cesare Siepi. Regards.
Boris Christoff *RARE VIDEO* - Ella giammai m'amò
grande voce , grande interprete
He was my all time favourite bass.
Bravissimo. Heard him singing this aria in a venyl 50 years ago, and still impress me.
Heartbreakingly beautiful!

Il miglior Filippo di tutti i tempi! Най-великият Филип за всички времена!
Ok, Siepi plutôt pas mal aussi...
Sí, el mas GRANDE de todos los tiempos!!
Una delle voci di basso più grandi in assoluto, ma, senza dubbio, il migliore interprete in termini di canto espressivo tra tutti i bassi..
Fabulous singer in this role!

Welche Intesität, welche Beherrschung der Stimme, welch vokaler Fluss, das ist für mich ein Gesangsgenie!
Велик!!! И каква гордост, че е българин. Безспорно велик певец, но и страхотен актьор. 100% влиза в персонажите си
Правильно делаете, что гордитесь своим певцом. Так и надо поступать, певец он прекрасный. А что значит «но и страхотен актьор»?
@@tamaramalevich1665 великий актер
Спасибо! Неожиданно, однако, но теперь буду знать, как на такой комплимент реагировать.
Da taka e 🙏💙
As actor I would say no one is superior to Chaliapin.
Gran opera, exelente aria, impecable interpretación BRAVOOOOO
Una voz imponente acompañada por un desempeño actoral extraìdo del Actor Studio, con
escaso o nulo histrionismo "operístico". Magnífico.
Eine der besten Bass Stimmen und einer der besten Interpreten - ein Wunder.Boris Christoff magistral.
Voice, performance, personality, emotion together. Fantastic, really! Thank you very much for uploding. Marianna
voce spettacolare
Quelle voix sublime ! Et quel artiste ! = au Pantheon de l'Art Lyrique !
Fantastic.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for this precious remembrance!
So marvellous! Thanks for sharing!
НАЙ-ВЕЛИК ОТ ВСИЧКИ БЪЛГАРСКИ ГЛАСОВЕ И UN GRANDISSIMO UOMO!!!
Voce a parte, Christoff ha compreso perfettamente il pensiero filosofico di Verdi .Sulla solitudine dell'uomo e non solo del potente.
Bravissimo, Alessandro 👍
Человек одинок без Бога. Молитесь Богу, и у вас не останется времени для скуки или грусти.

Magnifica interpretazione sia musicale che scenica di una delle arie migliori di Verdi
Divino. il più grande Filippo che abbia mai ascoltato. Interprete sommo di un brano da me amatissimo.

If I ever had to chose between Nicolai Ghiaurov and Boris Christoff as my favorite bass voice, I would need a full crises team thereafter.
Wonderful. Thank you for posting
Truly individual and GREAT. So musical, such legato. sigh
