Wonderful! Hotter turned 80 a week after this particular performance; he looks remarkably good for his age, and is as elegant and commanding a presence as ever.
A colleague of mine mentioned hearing & seeing Hotter in this role in 1985 (I forget where exactly) but I had no idea he was still singing this role in 1989! O.K., the voice is an old one BUT here Hotter sounds more solid than in some of his other "late" performances more than 20 years previous! I thought by 1989 that his character in LULU was all he could be dragged out for although he might still have given some recitals during this time. Jerry Hines sang his final performance at age 80 & frankly was not in as good a shape as Hotter here.
Hans Hotter, einer der unvergesslichsten Sänger an der Wiener Staatsoper! Danke für`s downloaden!!!
Hans Hotter gives here a lesson of singing and musical insights with sobriety and beautiful presence. Thank you for downloading this wonderful video.
Wunderbar! Eine Jahrhundertestimme!
Welch wunderbare Aufnahme mit dem 80jährigen Hotter...
Danke WGerold für diesen musikalischen Schatz!

Not a question of "age", just a great artist! Marvelous!
❤❤❤❤
Bravo Hotter!
An diesen Dank kann ich mich nur anschließen! Wo hat WGerold nur alle diese Quellen her? Bitte weiter so ;-)
