    This is the greatest baritone I've ever heard in my 72 years.
    Just phenomenal.

      It's good that you heard it... and not thinking you've heard it "all". Maestro Nicolae Herlea was the most "valuable" Baritone in his generation, History of human kind. Bigger in talent, and so much more than lots of other "famous" singers, baritones, or any other type of voice!

      Am avut acces la Barbiere diSeviglia ,undeva la finalul anilor 50,inceputul anilor 60 ,eram copil de 14 ani . De atunci am remarcat vocea fantyastica a lui Herlea si acum cred ca si acum aceasta e cea mai buna realizare a marelui Herlea si cred ca nu a fost depasit de niciun bariton.

    Incredible!
    Herlea has (or still has!) a gigantic voice, ideal for Rigoletto, Scarpia, Jago or Gerard. But he sings this virtouse aria very easy, with full of humor. Great! Like if you want to carve a small whisltle with a big ax!

    Two the best Largo al factotums after the WWII are him (Nicolae Herlea) and early Ettore Bastianini from Hamburg recital in 1954. Nobody else ever equalized to them.

  • @hamilcarbarcas1
    @hamilcarbarcas1 14 років тому +4

    The only drawback of master Nicolae Herlea, was that he comes from Romania during the comunist period when no one spoke about him internationally. So, he suffered of lack of marketing. He could remain in the western Europe, but preferred to come back and still lives in a flat in Bucharest. May God bless his voice and his whole life. You will never hear such Figaro and revenge aria in Rigolletto. He was the best of his period, but Tito Gobi who lived in the same period got more marketing.

    Why is it that when some non Italian sings an Italian aria, there is invariably, and oh-so-predictably, some Italian, like Uthology Utoh (or someone who pretends not to be Italian) who has to comment on the inadequacy of the diction. Get over yourselves guys! Who cares... Be happy that Italy has produced the best Opera composers, on average, in the world. And accept that there are interpreters from other countries who can be better, at times, that Italian singers, at interpreting Italian opera. Deal with it. Nicolae Herlea is certainly one of them.

    Cred ca se face o confuzie intre dictie si pronuntie. Dictia reprezinta calitatea de a pronunta fiecare cuvant clar, astfel incat sa se auda si sa se inteleaga intreaga fraza. Daca pronuntia cu accent strain poate fi inteleasa perfect, atunci dictia e de nota 10. Daca accentul e suparator sau incantator, asta judeca fiecare:))

    Few months ago I was about to decide that he IS actually the best(2 me)baritone not Warren. Listening to this brings to mind Giangiacomo Guelfi! Same sound...especially when Herlea makes a stentorian sound(usually at the end of a phrase)I definitely hear a Gobbi influence in there. But I gotta say, my all time favorite Baritone is still the incomparable Lawrence Tibbett. His "Largo" is the best I think. Just the flexibility & range in that aria while still composed & focused. With 3 B-flats too!

    there should be opera olympics for belcanto and baroque, so that "vocal athletes" could properly face off, sort of like opera freestyle ;) best legato, best staccato, best octave jump, longest breahtless melisma etc. Kidding... mostly.

    you didn't hear about him because he was singing in romania under the comuniste regim and they were not aloud to go in other countries back then. and now he's 80 and he's not singing anymore, unfortunately.

    Versione da domenica di somma festa! Il sangue latino non tradisce giammai.

    Listen to Tito Gobbi and Gino Bechi.
