@@francisca1378 Ghiaurov: "tenors and sopranos are all lovers and mistresses - all positive characters. The bass, on the other hand, has such very diverse roles as Basilio, Philip, Boris Godunov, Don Giovanni. You see, the range is much larger."
@@BaroneVitellioScarpia1 ah that sounds fun! I sing mezzo soprano, but I still learn a lot from listening to him (or singing along with him in the car…) even though he's a bass.
Baritone Jean-Baptiste Faure sang Mephistopheles in nineteenth century. But I suppose his voice was fully developed. Not like the current "bass-baritones".
Maravillosos intérpretes, una bella puesta en escena y un Alfredo Kraus solo factible de superar por el propio Kraus. Gracias.
Dos genios, extraordinarios. Kraus como siempre, maravilloso
Gorgeous performance by the greatest operatic geniuses.
Bravo Kraus e bravo Ghiaurov! Entrambi sono spettacolari, il vocione di Ghiaurov è così demoniaco... 😍😈👏
Ghiaurov is the greatest Mephistopheles ever!
He is! I love him in Boito's Mefistofele, too! He's just a … good devil. :D

@@BaroneVitellioScarpia1 so true! I always think the bass repertoire is the most interesting…. If I were a man that's what I would want to sing!
@@francisca1378 I’m a baritone but a quite low one, and I sing a lot of bass roles. I learned Basilio and Silva with Ghiaurov’s recordings.

Finally we have a real bass as Mephistopheles!

@@chesterinthefield Of course Faure's voice is fully developed. He is probably the most versatile baritone of all time.
¿And George London or Samuel Ramey?
