Have had a major crush on Sam Ramey since I saw him as Escamillio in Carmen at the Chicago Lyric Opera. He’s got it all - the dance training, fantastic voice and charisma galore.
Only the best and most famous basses get to sing this. But actually it is pretty easy. I often used it as a warm up aria. My whole life I tried to sing the Handel arias that Ramey just whips through like they were nothing. I never could handle the fioratura. This one anyone with a big dark voice can sing. The hard part of the role is the entrance scene. I heard Ramey do this part at San Francisco opera. Memorable.
Perhaps Mr. Pinza lacked your big dark voice. He famously considered this aria and this role to be the hardest he'd sung, and warned other basses "don't sing that role, it will destroy your voice!"
@Gabriela Gomes Haha I just meant his singing is brilliant, as in "very good" -- but his interpretation is also excellent so there's some intellect there either way!
So I'm not the only one. I've always wondered if he threw it on the floor...thus risking stepping on it with his bare feet. It's obvious, however, that before he takes the needle out and pops the balloon with it, that the needle was stuck into the cummerbund he's wearing.
I'd imagine it's pinned into his costume - the belt...and goes straight back there as the chorus takes over. No way he'd throw it away (union rules would go nuts!)
I saw this performance at the MET!! Mesmerizing! An amazing bass baritone (I emphasize bass) what a technician! I saw him in “Sammy-Ramey-Day” (he sang head and shoulders above Anderson’s Semiramis) I also named my cat the same satirical name!!
Bass, not bass-baritone. He just doesn't have one of those "in between" voices that mark the bass-baritone. He has the full bass range, including the notes at the bottom of the lower register. He's a basso cantante with a very extended upper register.
@Connor 7D don't forget about his unknowing sidekick The Woodsman/Judge Doom/Uncle Fester/Doc Brown/Leporello, who did the Edelwood Forest chopping on behalf of the condition that his daughter will be returned back safe and sound.
+immeralles besserwisser I don't think he got that late a start. Besides, basses don't really hit their stride until a bit later than the lighter male voices do. I do think that James Morris (who had a good voice, but not as good as Ramey's or as versatile) pretty much had an in with the Met, as he was the bass favored by principal conductor, James Levine. Morris, however, never had a voice that was as flexible and agile as Ramey's, and therefore could not have sung the Rossini coloratura bass roles or some of the baroque operas for which Ramey was justly famous. At any rate, Ramey was one of the very best basses of the latter 20th Century. His beautiful vocal tone, coupled with great versatility and flexibility and agility made Ramey one of the greatest operatic voices ever.
Se posso darti un consiglio, non rispondere mai a "bodiloto"... Vuole solo attaccare briga... Lo fa apposta a provocare per poi litigare... Ho già avuto il "piacere"...
Puoi dire quello che vuoi di Bodiloto. Ma il fatto è che sa distinguere la qualità e il livello tecnico delle voci. I suoi commenti, rimuovendo l'esagerazione della sua nostalgia, mi hanno aiutato molto a definire i valori. Se ti piace il baritono Domingo, il suo divario è incolmabile.. ė evidente :-))
Non sono d'accordo con tutto ciò che ha detto Bodiloto. Sì, ci sono molti grandi bassi prima di Ramey, ma non credo che Ramey sia un "baritono rossiniano". Ramey è un vero basso baritono e le sue note basse sono molto migliori della maggior parte dei bassi (tranne quelli molto bassi come Siepi, Neri, Mikhailov, Moscona ... ecc.)
En efecto Tiene una bella voz y es posible que este forzando su voz. En cualquier caso es un magnifico artista de una calidad contrastada al cual es un placer escuchar. Saludos cordiales.
Un leone della lirica.
Fenomeno.
Uno dei migliori Bassi della storia .
❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏
Pensavo non le piacesse Ramey...
he's the beast in Over the Garden Wall!

In questa ópera, uno de piu grande basso del mondo. Bravissimo Ramey
Great vocal range. Full, secure bass notes. A rare deep voice.
The balloons are a nice touch! Since it'll be his birthday tomorrow :D
Happy birthday to a sinfully talented artist!
One of the best bass baritone ever. He was in such good shapethe dressers at the Met bared his chest in costume. Bravo!
he's the beast in Over the Garden Wall!
He had dance training and you can tell.
HIS LAUGH AT 2:17 !!! *ovaries explode* 😍what a beautiful man😭
Thanks for sharing! He its still one of my most beloved artist!

Pat Boyle? Imagine running into you here!

Thank you in advance
He is so great!

Sublime basse que Samuel Ramey et je l'adore !
SAMUEL RIESCI A CAPTARE TUTTA L'attenzione. Sei grande grazie x la tua indefinibile interpretazione. 🎵🎶💙
Meraviglioso!
The Devil himself.... Sam is one of a kind....
Knew a music Professor that knows him...Says he is a unique gentleman
The master of voice!!

@@veralynn8334
Well here he's another Beast
Magnificent!
Bravo Sam!!
Per un diavolo ha una voce veramente divina xd
Tutti i diavoli hanno voci divine :-P
Soberanamente magnífico
absolutely brilliant.

Samuel Ramely...Bravo! Kedvencem lettél elsőre!
Outstanding....
what a hot guy and what a sizzling voice!!!
Meraviglioso
born for this role
I've watched this entire opera over three times and I have yet to figure out where the needle goes when he's done with it
So I'm not the only one. I've always wondered if he threw it on the floor...thus risking stepping on it with his bare feet. It's obvious, however, that before he takes the needle out and pops the balloon with it, that the needle was stuck into the cummerbund he's wearing.

Mr. O'Colingan's theme, that he sings in the remaining forests of the British Isles in the Victorian era and in complete loneliness.
I saw this performance at the MET!! Mesmerizing! An amazing bass baritone (I emphasize bass) what a technician! I saw him in “Sammy-Ramey-Day” (he sang head and shoulders above Anderson’s Semiramis) I also named my cat the same satirical name!!
Grandissimo Ramey 👏😍
Boys and girls….I present to you the Beast from Cartoon Network’s “Over the Garden Wall”.
He's an amazing baritone
he's the beast in Over the Garden Wall!
Hátborzongató...Szuper hang...
che voce, che corpo! Bravo~
I first saw this on PBS 25-odd years ago. Loved it then, love it now. Ramey at his best --
The beginning of weird productions
Excellent performance for sure
❤Great 😊Bass
No! He is not a baritone but a true low bass-baritone, with a lot of chest in the low. Good powerful top too.
Bass, not bass-baritone. He just doesn't have one of those "in between" voices that mark the bass-baritone. He has the full bass range, including the notes at the bottom of the lower register. He's a basso cantante with a very extended upper register.

Shoo get lost you are ruining a great singers reputation. ;)

Immenso Ramey!
Maravilloso Barítono.
WAIT WHAT. FEELS ILLEGAL WHAT. WHY IS HE HOT. THAT IS NOT
I had to skip to the end to see if he popped that balloon. He does.
spoiler alert!!! Why skipping? Didn't you like the singing?
@@The_Barefoot_Bass he probably did, but he was mostly curious how Singor Ramey popped the balloon.
Maravilhoso!!
Ecco il Mondo means Here is the World. He's holding a balloon. What the heck does it mean anyway???
The balloon is blue. It's meant to represent a globe -- i.e., the blue Earth, ie, the world.
***** Oh. Thanks for the info.
Anea Marlivana Oh wow!! Talk about world domination.
jasminne mcdonald That he thinks he's the true ruler of the world?
Anea Marlivana I heard that! Take it back!!!!
