Love him.....treue tenor voice❤

[@gokouson180]

Amazing! Very clear and open sound. And the subtle touches, slight diminuendos at the end of each line. A very elegant Nessun Dorma.

Méltán, generációjának egyik legjobb tenorja volt világszinten is, az erős mezőnyben. Itthon méltatlanul kevesen ismerik, Marton Éva és Svéd Sándor mellett a legnagyobb világkarriert befutott magyar operaénekes.

Magnificent! I've been very fortunate to hear many of his broadcasts from the Metropolitan Opera on their Sirius Radio channel. He was a superb Lohengrin and I was so impressed by his Edgardo in the two broadcasts of Lucia di Lammermoor.

[@sandorkonya8005]

Thank you Verdiguy🙏I loved Konyas Voice after I first heard it 40 Years ago
His Lohengrin was a Milestone in 1958 at the Bayreuth Festival
Their is a lot of Konya on U Tube Ballo, Forza, Rigoletto as well as Verdi Canzoni and Operetta
He would turn 100 Years old in 2023

[@meisterwue]

Love him.....I know Konya from German TV since a long long time ......

@brunomarzi2363 yes that is right Sandor would have been 100 Years old now ( 23.09.)and I named my Channel in Honor to his Name so he may not been forgotten.

[@moishemillerr]

Is the recording pitched up slightly? Or sped up?

[@sandorkonya8005]

Not that I know of,the Recording is from the Master Tape of RIAS,Berlin where the Concert was broadcasted in 1965.

[@moishemillerr]

I asked because then he’s singing the high C!

[@sandorkonya8005]

@@moishemillerr Konya had a High C but it was not comparable to Corelli or Pavarotti.konya‘s Technics where’s mixture of Italian School ( first 2 years of his Training at the List accademie in Budapest and 3 Month at the End of his Schooling in Italy) Most Technical Skills he got from Frederic Huster in Germany ( Frederic was one of the most respected Teachers of his Area in Germany) So Konya had 3 Components in his singing: Italianate( he was not Italian!) German ,more declamatory of Singing ( Wagner,Strauss) and his natural Beautiful Voice. That is what you hear in his interpretations …very unique,a mixture of Gigli,Vickers and Völker…This is my conclusion of Analyzing Konya’s Voice after listening for 30Years. He was a very special Tenore ,very unique and his Carrier ( 380+Lohengrins combined with Lehar,Puccini,Bizet,Verdi and the Slavic Repertoire proofed him successful …YMO Thanks

[@moishemillerr]

And he was also taught by Anthony Frisell! But Corelli didn’t have very reliable High Cs either.

[@sandorkonya8005]

@@moishemillerr Corelli with his immense power was very unique since he decided to also sing piano( del Monaco was able to sing piano but decided to not do so very often) Konya never had the power of the upper register since his vocal technique did not teaches him that ,but he had something that ,in my opinion until today ,hardly any Tenor has
To combine Lyrical sweetness to phrasings and at the same time an almost Wagnerian tone to his voice which give Italian Operas some more “ bite” and Wagnerian Operas a bit of more “. Belcanto”
Frisell was a necessary for Konya in the mid 60‘s since ,at that time he had sung 300+ Lohengrin‘s ,numerous of Stolzings ,Erics , Parzifal‘s and other German Operas
His voice had almost lost its bronze shine and had hardly any of the thrills in the upper register( listen you the 1959 Lohengrin or the World Premier of Henze Koenig Hirsch ,all here on u Tube) you hear what I talk about
Thanks to Frisell, Konya after retraining got it almost back to what , him made so famous ,the Lyrical sweetness with a bronce shine in his upper register….YMHO
