You can see the joy on his face when he realizes how well he sang that note. It's like a kid in a candy store!

@alexander Yorˋre so very right, he really knew what he was capable of. And I think he gambled with his unique potential whenever needed in his own brilliant, inimitable way. Surely one of the greatest bassos of all times to be enjoyfully listened to.

Monster, without microphone...INSANE

I love how she follows up about three octaves higher after he leaves the room❤

Kurt Moll is my favorite opera singer ever! Bravissimo Kurt!

He exactly nailed that one deep note in his unique and precise way he managed all of his gorgeous singing. One of the greatest basso-voices ever. Thanks for that precious document of great singing.

That low register really is something unique. I have never heard anyone capable of singing a C2 as easily as Moll. It almost sounds as if it were the lower part of his middle voice. I am simply unable to understand how a human being could even produce a well resonating sound at such a low frequency. Absolutely splendid...

What an extraordinary voice! Very beautiful instrument, and this great, fully resonant bottom register! Wow... I adore his Il Commendatore

Unbelievable. Best I’ve ever heard it. Incredible!

La plus grande basse de notre époque, tout simplement.

Amazing. I don’t think I’ve ever heard this so easily vocalized.

Amazing . . . simply amazing! From the clips I've seen of him, Moll was what Henry Pleasants described in "The Great Singers" as a "singing actor" - that is, a person (male or female) who was first and foremost a superb actor but also a fine singer - as opposed to the "acting singer" who reversed the emphases and was a good singer but an indifferent actor; I believe he categorized Lauritz Melchior as an acting singer, incredible though the Dane's voice was. (In his first biography, "5,000 Nights at the Met," Rudolf Bing recounted paying a visit to the Old House shortly before he assumed the managership there; Melchior was singing either Tristan or Lohengrin, and while Bing admired the voice, he described the singer as looking like "a couch upholstered in red plush velvet," an image that has stayed with me for 45 years, although I'm a great fan of The Great Dane.) The clips of Moll as Osmin are hilarious; that unbelievable beard pretty much stole the show on its own! A great, great singing actor was Herr Moll.

How to make an exit.

Thank you so much for this Beauty.

Unreal. Would have loved it if he had done the bass part in Mahler 8, which has a low C in octaves with the baritone. I've never actually heard it sung (not that you would hear it much even if it was...)

Those are B-flats, and there are a few recordings where you can hear it. Kent Nagano conducted one such recording. Also Berliner Rundfunkchor will have one I think.

I meant the solo bass part, where there are low Cs in the first movement. The choral B-flats, as Mahler indicates in the second symphony, are not so much to be heard as to prevent the second basses from jumping up the octave.

Sooo secure!!!...do these voices even exist anymore??.....thank you 😘

Lohengrin O I think it was a way of telling the others to follow him lol. Nothing with a musical purpose I don’t think

Come ho sempre detto che la Musica è sempre Musica... però a volte non è semplicemente recepibile per chi questa materia è astrusa... sia comunque perché eseguita in lingua sconosciuta... sia anche per un brano poco conosciuto... sia perché lo stesso non è tra i più armoniosi ed orecchiabili. Un Baritono favoloso Kurt Moll la sua vocalità è veramente molto profonda!! ( ho ascoltato il brano due volte.. la terza volta si vedrà) ciao caro Lohengrin0.. sempre cortese e premuroso e inoltre fai molto bene a proporre anche brani di Lirica meno esaltanti!!
