Eu estava no concurso e até então não tinha visto nada parecido. Quando esse cidadão começou a cantar, ninguém teve nenhuma dúvida que ele seria o vencedor absoluto. Voz enorme, uma projeção fantástica e ótima presença de palco. Aprendi muita coisa vendo esse cara cantar.
Veramente. Ho partecipato di questo concorso e la sua voce era stupenda, squillante, e tanto grande che pareva andare fuori del teatro. Senza dubbio, in quel tempo, una voce che poteva vincere tutte le concorsi di canto nel mondo. Molto diversa di quella di oggi.
I LOVE that Erwin sounds a mess here because it gives me hope and reminds me that as opera singers we get better every every day! Its great to see someones humble beginnings. Who wants a singer that has sounded good their entire lives? They're boring.
Un bajo convincente de color y raro en su modulación más lírica que dramática ... hizo igualmente una buena transición a roles de barítono... uno dotado y estudioso...
@Ysacoelfua With this rendition, he won the first prize on this singer competition. And now is the "Beloved" of the Metropolitan Opera House, in New York. Probably because it is a terrible performance, you are probably correct. All the other opera fans are wrong.
@Ysacoelfua Dear Ysacoelfua, my ironic nick belongs to everybody here, that like opera. I've seen on stage many singers, like Del Monaco, Corelli, Bonisolli, Caballé, Millo, Casolla, Marton, Domingo, Pavarotti, and SO MANY others. I can be satisfied with Mr. Schrott way of singing, because I have 'reference' to compare, from live performances. Try to not compare video or audio performances, because only live, on stage, you really know a good and a great singer. To me (and to many people) he's ok
He was fantastic here, the problem that alot of young bass-baritones face, I am alos one, is that there are so few roles suited to them at early stages in thier career. They are forced to sing the high baritone repertoire to make a name for themselves, in a staged version of macbetto he couldn't really play Banquo, this is why he has made a name for himself as Leporello, a role that can be played by a younger bass singer.
Sì, ha vinto ("Erwin Schrott wins the "Concurso..."). Davvero non so chi era in giuria, ma quando ha cominciato a cantare presto sapeva chi avrebbe vinto il concorso.
Indeed, I agree with operataste; people admire these singers because of their incredible performances. Very often voices recorded and live sound different. This is not a brilliant recording... You name me another great baritone (aside from Hvorostovsky), who does not merely puff themselves up and try to sing as loudly as they can. And even an opera fan who does not like Netrebko/Villazon would know better than to group them with Bocelli/Potts.
@Maripudelmonaco OLA! vedova, ma guarda che non ti lasciero andare cosi facilmente, Tu continua, e anche io. I tuoi commenti prima o poi non li vedremmo piu. Io sono tanto sola e mi piace far vedere anche quando la gente e' cattiva, come te. SOLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
@bodiloto Là tu m'étonnes un peu! Il n'est pas basse non plus,ou alors très claire;il ballonne mais n'a pas de cave,c'est pourquoi il n'appuie pas sur la poitrine:Ni le timbre ,ni le diaphragme n'y résisteraient. Répond mon grand.Mitia.
I think the problem was that his coaches and he himself turned him from a bass into a baritone ... I hear a lot of Hvorostovsky and very little terfel here
@Ysacoelfua Jerome Hines no ha mai cantato queto ruolo, E jerome Hine e' stato un bravissimo baritono, SCHROTT/HINES????. Read and learn, learn and read, you little thing.
@MrGluki Wenn mich wirklich etwas aufregt, dann sind es solche Kommentare. Man kann alles kritisieren und in Frage stellen. Aber in diesem Ton disqualifiziert sich jeder "Kritiker" komplett. Das ist einfach nur peinlich. Egal ob Schrott gut ist oder nicht.

Wonderful!!!

Qué uruguayito!! Fabuloso!
Bravo 👌 I never heard him as good as in this contest ☝️

Preston Andrews Amen!!!
que bestia!....cuantos años tenia?!....que impresionante! un milagro de la naturaleza.
@operataste Quanto mi piace come parli, a quella eta io stavo ancora studiando, e lui vinceva concorsi. Bravissimo Erwin.
Orgulho uruguayo. Que voz magnífica...un loco bárbaro! Y hoy día tiene un hijo con la gran sorpano rusa Anna Netrebko (dúo fantástico)

He's not from Argentina, he's from Uruguay...

@Ysacoelfua cosa facevi tu a 20 anni?, eri un genio?, perche non ci fai vedere cosa facevi?. genio!!.

operataste I heard him live. He was fantastic.

E ha vinto il concorso?E chi c' era in commissione?
I like him better in his baritone repertoire!
AmadeusJMB As do I. He’s improved a ton.
@SiViSaraVendetta credo che lui aveva a questi tempi 24 anni, se non mi sbaglio.
macbetto?
Si.
Estoy de acuerdo, la calidad de la voz en esta epoca es fantastica.
1988 or 1998? Isn' t clear...
Sì, ha vinto ("Erwin Schrott wins the "Concurso..."). Davvero non so chi era in giuria, ma quando ha cominciato a cantare presto sapeva chi avrebbe vinto il concorso.
here he's 26, right?
¡Estaba gordito!
La voz es preciosa, como (casi) siempre.

antonpetrovichkoch He was also still studying at this time. He sounds completely different now.
Sorry... 1998 (11 years ago)

@reinadegrillos cosa vuol dire GORDITO?.
@bodiloto Blah blah blah, i giovani cantanti, quello qua e questo qua, rimani a casa. Non hai fatto carriera perche non avevi la voce, punto!.
@bodiloto Là tu m'étonnes un peu! Il n'est pas basse non plus,ou alors très claire;il ballonne mais n'a pas de cave,c'est pourquoi il n'appuie pas sur la poitrine:Ni le timbre ,ni le diaphragme n'y résisteraient.
Répond mon grand.Mitia.
¡Cantaba mejor de joven que ahora de viejo!
Comme quoi les jurés de concours sont bien ignorants:Auraient-ils entendu et jugé une basse dans cet air???
O tempora,o mores!
