Legend has it that Dieskau has low Cs, too. Just because you make a living as a lyric baritone doesn't mean you can't have access to those lower notes in some cases.
Andrew Margrave He was in his early to mid 50's when he recorded these. I think even earlier in his career, Adam could sing lower than most people would expect.
I remember on East German radio in the 1970s hearing Adam singing at least one of the Sarastro set pieces, which sounded a little odd because of the baritonal timbre, although what counts more than superficially is where the centre of that complex of complex sounds the human voice lies. Vanni-Marcoux was a fairly extreme case of the bass equivalent of the Bariton-Martin (a baritone who sounds like a tenor) and maybe he was a bass who sounded like a tenor. One of the nicknames given Adam was Der Raspel, or Raspeler, the grater. The voice to some sounded rough and harsh, just the way his range of undertones and overtones struck some ears.
Wow, muy bonito e impresionante :D

I am a dramatic tenor and can reache a contra b flat, so it would just be logical for a lyric baritone to have a low c.
This is not quite normal. We are talking about real notes not sounds
@@ronbusch3359 Then you're not a tenor. Unless you do that contra B flat with fry or subharmonics.
0:45 C2 impecable en pecho sin vocal fry
It's not vocal fry.
@@MultiKamil97 "sin" means "without" lmao
@@PythonDad Sorry, back then there was no translation on UA-cam 😅
This must have been from later in his career. His voice had to have dropped substantially from his midlife years.

So true about "where the centre of that complex of complex sounds the human voice lies" and Vanni Marcoux.
He looks like the joker xD
