László Polgár is the ultimate Sarastro: he radiates dignity, benevolence and nobility of spirit, all the ideals his character represents. I also love that this production develops the Masonic symbolism of the libretto and adopts elements of Masonic ritual into the set design. What a great idea!
How could I live until now and never heard this magnificent singer before!!!! I am in absolute awe of such a gorgeous instrument. An absolute divine gift! So glad he is recorded for future generations!
The wonder of this age is that we can experience truly consummate artists at the height of their powers creating beautiful music and art right before us. Superb
václav hanusekv thanks for your comment and me too; heard this now for the first time and Iam so impressed. This is exactly the aria that is still so moving at my husband's funeral 14 years ago and always stays and yet it is still wonderful.
He is, indeed very good, and better than in Sarastro's second aria, where unfortunately, Polgar seems to get the endings wrong: the tempo is also the correct (slow) one, which increases the aria's difficulty. HOWEVER, I do not think Polgar can surpass my all time favourite, a very tall order to be honest: Kurt Moll.
Mi ci si sono messa di proposito e alla 50° interpretazione di questa aria, di bassi bravissimi persino con la direzione del grande Muti, non ho trovato nessuno così aderente a Mozart, così potente e dolce, così privo di fughe personalistiche come Polgar.
How wonderful! I love this aria so much and listened to many many renditions here on youtube. The effortlessness of his singing is extraordinary! And even though he is no German, one can understand every word!
The first version I've heard and seen via UA-cam in which the Sarastro is not just showing-off his voice but also acting his part, involved in his scene. (There may well be others, but I haven't got to them yet.).
Non seulement il va la chercher LA NOTE ,il la tient sans aucun vibrato et cerise sur le gateau , il la chante a GENOUX !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Merci Maitre

A legselymesebb,legkellemesebb basszus hang,amivel csak találkoztam !!!

Besser geht's nicht ! Nach dieser Stimme wird man süchtig.
📣📣📣📣Magical Bass Singer ! Best Recording Ever of This Amazing Mozart Aria !!!!!!! Purest tone....so unforced !!!
It’s a shame we lost him in 2010 💔
Eine besondere Persönlichkeit; ich konnte mich mit Ihm einige Male austauschen; vielen Dank - wunderschön gesungen!
Úgy átmelegíti a szívemet...akár hányszor hallgatom meg újra és újra...
Bravo laszlo, un gran sarastro, Mozart estaría orgulloso de ti.

How could I have missed until now, this marvellous voice.
Basso stupendo, dolcissimo, emozionante
Fantastic voice... So warm and enchanting... He's also a beautiful man 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Mozart’s best opera, such beautiful arias, and to me, the best singer.
Beautiful voice.
I have probably heard ALL versions of this aria, but he is the best.

Vszínűleg én nem hallottam az összeset..
DE! Nincsenek szavak...
TÖKÉLETES!
Moll is the best Sarastro ever. Polgar‘s voice, at least in this performance, misses weight and sonority.
Che eleganza... stupendo!
Fantastic performance! Noble and with power.

That was gorgeous!

What a loss for the opera fans in the world
Best recording around! Gorgeous tone, fabulous choir and orchestra too. It's at Baroque pitch too, so it's more like a low E at the end :O
This is most likely close to the original pitch, as pitch has been rising since the last hundreds of years
Gave me goosebumps, wonderful

bellissima voce, elegante e armonica
His voice is wonderful

Thank you.
Fabulous voice and control
Thank you so much!
So beautifull. Simple. Hounest.
Diese Darbietung gefällt mir sehr gut.
Prachtige bas. Zeer mooi.
OMG! What a voice!
Unigue bass, indeed. So smooth !
la quintessence du chant tout simplement!
Lovely!!!
Me gusta mucho esa voz es maravillosa.
So warm and lyrical. May be even too much for me. )
can you post the whole production? polgar is fantastic!
2010...nem tudtál velünk maradni?
Ha még egyszer hallhatnám Őt! Sajnos arról az Erlkönigről amit Polgár Lászlótól hallottam nincs a neten felvétel...
Fennséges hang. Soha nem feledhető.
Miért nem élnek örökké az ilyen csodálatos emberek, ilyen csodálatos hanggal?
Here the playlist of (almost) all the recordings of Laszlo
Ancora grazie infinite! Sto ascoltando tutto con interesse e grande piacere
Interesting placement of the lesser lights.
Più lo ascolto, più mi affascina.Sottovalutato dalla critica:perché?
La fama dei musicisti è fatta dalle case discografiche. Un ungherese aveva scarse possibilità di essere promosso.

DIOSO
Azt hiszem Székely Mihály óta nem volt ilyen hang.
not far from Moll 🤔🎶 👍
first free masonic opera in the history ? did i see pyramide on the floor ?
yes. I believe Mozart was a member of the masons. You will see Masonic imagery in most versions of this opera
Yes.

sadly enough, such junk comments (more suited to "gangsta rap" fights) regularly pollute pages devoted to classical music...

No doubt you could do much better! What an arrogant, ignorant fool!
One could argue that there other singers as good or maybe better but it is surely not a poor performance by any stretch of the imagination.
