Tavela is absolutely inferior to Kurz Moll - might be you‘re to too biased

RIP Talvela, I really love how he sounded here. I just wish I could have seen him while he still lived, but alas, I was barely one year old at the time. It was a really tragic way to go, too. He had a heart attack and died at his daughter's wedding when he was 54.

Magnifico Bajo, Eximio Artista; Uno de esos Cantantes/Actores que ralmente valen la pena recordar y no olvidar.

Diese Auführung wurde damals live aus Bayerischen Staatsoper im Fersehn übertragen habe ich auch auf DVD wundervolle Aufführung unter der Regie von August Everding und der Leitung von Karl Böhm!

Even for as imposing a character as Osmin is, the music is still very light and happy. That is why I like Mozart.

Wow, he was really tall. His height really fit his voice!

I heard that too. I've heard a couple of basses in the past who have sang this aria go sharp on the low D, probably because it's really hard to hit and keep audible. Talvela does a great job with this, but I would have to say my favorite performance of this aria would have to be Kurt Moll doing it... so far. I have yet to discover more.

I heart Kurt Moll live in munich with Songs by J. Haydn amongst others. I mean I never heart a better low C than of Moll. Talvela misses a little bit of resonance here in the very low register..

Tobias Kehrer at Glyndebourne sings it in barque pitch, essentially a c#, perfectly in pitch and substantially audible. But I suppose Glyndebourne is a small theatre so he has no pressure to over project.

Per me è un'interpretazione splendida!!! grazie

You're absolutely right. Thanks for the catch.

MARTTI TALVELA TALKED ABOUT THAT LOW "D" DURING AN INTERVIEW. HE SAID THAT THE SCORE CALLED FOR A FEEBLE SOUNDING VOICE. A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK THAT HE'S OFF-KEY, BUT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE DONE THAT WAY. THERE ARE OTHER, SIMILAR ROLES THAT CALL FOR THE SAME. MT WAS THE GENUINE ARTICLE. THE GREATEST BASSO I'VE EVER HEARD.

So you have not heard Kurt Moll ?

@Albericco Karl Böhm died at 87, in Salzburg, August 1981. The present recording is dated 1974

In his 23 years at low D get. And when it comes to that I would go into C or low B (v contra octave). But in the song it is harder than trying to where the voice drops. ... :)

Bayerische Staatsoper, Karl Böhm conducting. 1989.

what happened with the bass D? Can't hear it .

Not only can he sing like a god, he can tie a bowline while doing so. Must have had a boat.

Masterful performance. As I would expect from one as legendary as Talvela. One thing though. Did he go a bit sharp on the low D, or are my ears playing tricks? Or maybe he purposely did so, for ornamentation's sake?

14 years late, but he definitely went sharp on that note. It seems even Talvela couldn't quite get down there. For my money, Kurt Moll still owns this aria.

Lamentablemente en esta versión la afinación del D grave termina siendo un E la mayor parte del tiempo. Una lastima porque es una hermosa versión en general. Mi favorito es Kurt Moll.

pay attention between 1:43- 1:48. it sounds like he gagged on his own spit.

He sharps it, which is odd.

Jesus.

'Oh,' not 'Ha,' Great Aria and peformance anyway :-) !

Preferisco Kutt Moll, che a mio avviso è stato il migliore Osmino del 900. Scenicamente poi c'è un abisso. Talvela resta immobile come una cariatide!!!

dicevo appunto questo...recitazione statica...dovrebbe essere un momento di trionfo...invece...

I would politely suggest this is not a "low D fail," but a conductor fail. Hah! You know, singing a low D is easy peasy, I know a dozen lyric tenors who can do it any day of the week! But just try sing one over an orchestra while maintaining a consistent, beautiful bassy timber! Not so easy! This is a very difficult phrase to sing over an orchestra and Talvela's was probably the most imposing iteration of it ever heard in an opera house! Listen to any other version on KZread and you'll hear the conductor striving to keep the orchestra at a dynamic where the bass can easily project over it. Here, Bohm probably thought with Talvela's cannon, he didn't need restraint. But when you're conducting freaking Talvela and even he has to sharp to make the phrase, the problem ain't Talvela, the problem's the conducting. Of course, Bohm's amazing, but as others have said, everyone has an off day.

lyric tenors who can sing low D? WTH?! MOST Tenors cannot sing G2 and lower(because anatomy, duh) and if they can it's very rare! And Lyric tenors' range is C3-C5, i can't understand how they're gonna sing D2, it is just beyond my mind. I think "lyric tenors" you know are actually baritones. Baritones usually can sing low D but it's most of the times very airy.

Lyric tenors singing a low D.. Sure I would love to hear a record of that to see what sort of sound you call "sing a low D"

Osmin is not one of Talvela’s better roles. Marvelous singer nonetheless

He failed...the pitch is badly changing...what happened?...he is such a great singer...And he was also rushing just before that low D...strange...
