As a bass myself I already knew many recordings of Mr Hines, but not this one. It just blew me away!! AMAZING! It's incredible that a monumental voice like his could sing this aria so well. This recording should be heard my very many people in the opera field, because I have the feeling that too many have forgot how a full bass voice should sing and sound!

Joe Shore is absolutely correct "Hines was the Gold Standard for Basses for our generation and beyond. I feel fortunate to live in a time when I could hear and appreciate this wonderful voice live and in recordings.

John Mount I agree entirely with you: was fortunate to hear him in person no fewer than ten times at the Teatro Colon (Buenos Aires). PS: was "Don Giovanni" part of his repertoire?

Every generation wants to have its own heroes to worship. To those who grew up with Hines, there will never be a greater bass for us. If you grew up with Ramey you will like him. Objectively, maybe you should know that Sam Ramey's hero was Jerome Hines. Sam was one of the few big name opera singers at Jerome Hines' funeral. Jerome Hines was my mentor and friend for 25 years. To me, his voice was the gold standard for basses.
@eloisehooper18017 жыл бұрын
Yes, I had never heard Hines sing until just now, although I read a book he wrote when I was in my teens (long ago), so I know a tiny bit about his life. That Hines was Ramey's hero makes perfect sense. But I don't believe I've ever heard a bass voice so magnificent as Hines'. I must certainly admit it has taken my breath away. Best I can say is, it sounded just now like the archetypal voice of the 'basso profundo'. Listening to other renditions of this particular Handel had me at times wanting the tempi to be faster here, or slower there; but with Hines, I am content to bask in his voice and hear him tell it like it is. Wow!

Joseph Shore I was fortunate enough to see Jerome Hines at the Teatro Colon (Buenos Aires) and must admit that his Filippo II ("Don Carlo") is, to this day, unsurpassable. The same applies to every other role he sang.

I am a bass-baritone, so I sing this faster ala Sam Ramey. The whole point though, and it is an important one having to do with Christian culture is you cannot sing such an aria well and NOT believe the (Biblical) text. Interesting, and theoretical idea, mine ;-) BTW, I believe a proper interpretation of scripture is that God saves believers in all cultures through the sacrifice of Christ, even if they have never heard of him. By their fruits ye shall know them.

Indeed, Klemperer conducted this historic recording of Handel's great sacred opera, which was issued by EMI and presumably recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London with the Philharmonia Orchestra and Chorus. In addition to Mr. Hines, the cast consisted of soprano Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, mezzo soprano Grace Hoffman, and tenor Nicolai Gedda.
