John, thanks for pointing out the missed "colon"...that missed little
item could stop up the works...um...anyway, good pickup!
Naturally, I went directly to the Baritones & Bass-Baritones &
enjoyed the selections particularly of the Romanian Baritone
Nicolae Herlea - his "live from a Met" performance of Roderigo de Posa's
"O Carlo ascolta" was seamless & unforced (although I don't know if it
will surpass Mike's Fiescher-Dieskau setting!). And the Theodore Uppman
selection from Billy Budd was heartwrenching as the young man knows
what's to become of him in the morning.
I think many people on this list will find answers to their questions
regarding voices that possess more "squillo" than others & also
comparisons in how one singer interprets an aria as opposed
to another.
The other classification tools & teacher listings are a help to the student
of singing searching for that extra link to musical history.
Happy listening (&reading) to all!
