I love seconds 33-35. Moll just opens his mouth and out comes some good-ol-profondo, just as casual as can be. He does a good job of acting this performance, not just singing it; I really dig the relaxed look he has going on :P. Bravo Moll!

This is excellent! Not only his marvellous singing, but also his acting, his movements, his facial expression. He does not only play a role, but he really is Ochs auf Lerchenau, exactly as Strauss and Hofmannsthal might have visualized the part. And on other evenings, he was, he really was Sarastro, Osmin, Daland, Marke, Hunding, Gurnemanz, Sir Henry Morosus, Sparafucile - what else? R.i.P., Kurt Moll, great, great singer!

I don't think I've seen this scene done better. Moll is a bass who will be missed. I don't think he was underappreciated. He appeared consistently on first rate recordings. He often sang small parts that required a good voice....like Monterone in Rigoletto. He's universally recognized as one of the greatest Wagnerian basses of all time.

He sang LOTS of Wagner! He is on record (recorded live performances or studio recordings, video or audio) as Gurnemanz, Pogner, the Nachtwachter, Fasolt, Fafner, Hunding (at the Met, on the performance broadcast on PBS to the largest audience of the RING in history), King Heinrich the Vogler, the Landgrave, Daland, King Marke. Gurnemanz was one of his signature roles.

Theodore Shulman true, he didn't sing Hagen, as far as I know, but not because he lacked the capacity. I saw him sing an overpowering Hunding.
@ColonelFredPuntridge7 жыл бұрын
Hunding is not nearly as demanding as Hagen! Hunding only actually sings a few lines--less than ninety seconds of singing total in the whole opera. In contrast, Hagen sings all the time, and he has that air-raid-siren-sounding scene where he summons the Gibichung troops, sustained high notes at the top of his lungs. Completely inappropriate for Kurt Moll's voice. Kurt Moll's best Wagner performance (IMHO) was Gurnemanz. Noble, benevolent, golden-voiced. And while his voice was certainly large, his SOUL was the soul of a lieder-singer. Listen to his recording of Schubert's "Lieder für Bass", it's unbelievable, every syllable is beautiful and he's SO SMART, he makes Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau seem like a clown by comparison.

And who, pray tell, is lower than Kurt Moll? Many basses can sing Osmin's low D, but I don't think I've ever heard anyone else sing it with full, relaxed vibrato, as if it were any other note. Only Kurt Moll. Even Josef Greindl loses his vibrato on that note. Herbert Alsen, Gottlob Frick, Ludwig Weber, Matti Salminen, Robert Lloyd, Kurt Bohme, Martti Talvela, Gyorgy Littasy, Cornelius Hauptman, all of them, lose their vibrato on that note too. Only Kurt Moll sings it as if it were an ordinary note!
@Turt37527 жыл бұрын
Theodore Shulman There are plenty of choir singers who can sing notes much lower. Glenn Miller recently won a Grammy for a song in which he sings a G1. Vladimir Miller (no relation) can sing to at least an F1. A few other Russians can go that low and lower, but their names are long and I don't feel like typing them. If you really want, I can look them up... but really, just look up the channel "Oktavism" on here

Vous dites n'importe quoi. Vous mélangez des chanteurs qui chantent dans de grandes salles des rôles parfois immense avec des chanteurs servis par des acoustiques avantageuses, des enregistrements qui mettent en valeur leur voix, des répertoires faciles aux tempis lents et qui demande un registre vocal plus restreint. Glenn Miller chante mal, sans puissance. les russes dont vous parlez chantent comme des casseroles, le timbre est horrible, ils ont souvent des problèmes de justesse. Kurt Moll, quant à lui, est doué d'un organe superbe et peu commun mis au service de l'art, de l'intelligence, de la culture. C'est toute la différence et je doute que vous puissiez la comprendre.
