    Theres a lot of innocence and childness in this mans acting, what makes him the perfect and ultimate Fígaro.

      Also a great Papageno which is also full of life.

      @@WetaMantisTo me he is the ultimate Figaro and the ultimate Papageno. I have some 10 different recordings of The Magic Flute (my favourite opera, Mozart, more than a passion, is a religion to me), but I seldom listen to the others, I keep going back to Solti’s, because of Hermann Prey’s Papageno. He had a smile in his voice. 💕

      He had a pretty rich speaking voice. I honestly think he could have done like Ruggero Raimondi and played more bass roles, as his voice was every bit as deep as Raimondi's, but thankfully he utilized every ounce of range he had. I mean, he played 2 both Figaro roles, and was praised for both. Just the absolute ideal baritone voice to me.

    Just like me! This particular version of "The Barber of Seville" was the very first opera I saw in my life. I was 10 years old then: I'm 44 now, and my debt to Hermann Prey is still rising... and rising... and rising...

  • @ussling
    @ussling 10 років тому +74

    He was at home with comic opera Italian-style, displaying scenic intelligence, liveliness and hilarity. His virtuoso agility and great comic acting made him an obvious choice for numerous productions of Mozart's and Rossini's operas in the 1970s. (Wikipedia)
    Hermann Prey (11 July 1929 - 22 July 1998).
