Kurt Moll:Solche hergelaufne Laffen (Entfuhrung)

Kurt Moll (Osmin) & Lars Magnusson (Pedrillo). Covent Garden, 1990. Solti.
For a man who can rock the low D's in 'O wie will ich triumphieren', Moll can also pop up to those high F's in this aria effortlessly.
I bought this recording on VHS about 6 years ago & wore out the tape! The DVD was released fairly recently. I definitely recommend the purchase; get it at the url below:

Moll is Osmin and always will be. Mozart would have greatly enjoyed this.

[@vonmeppen]

Moll is in a class of its own.

[@didimagnin1841]

Apart from his fabulous voice, he was a great comic actor. RIP dear Herrr Moll.

[@emmamcallister1743]

Who could possibly dislike this?

[@didimagnin1841]

Maestro Kurt Moll et Maestro Herr Mozart, qui nous ont laissés ce beau héritage---RIP.

[@Anton_the_Vampire]

My absolute favourite Basso Profundo and the man I would DEARLY love to be able to sing like (and have tried for years!)

[@rodrigocecchetto]

Kurt Moll is the best bass that i have ever seen!!!
is a genious

[@didimagnin1841]

Kurt Moll fully captured the fun of Mozart's operas, but also a great Commendatore in Don Giovanni. Miss him..RIP MEISTER.

[@Xorgrim]

Rest in Peace.

Wow! So good vocally, and so entertaining acting! This is very close to perfection. Or more precisely: way better than I could have hoped for, if I was the director, and there for beyond the scale for me.

[@dozapp]

it is indeed pedrillo, this is the scene where Osmin basicly tells Pedrillo that he wants to boil pedrillo in oil skin him and slaughter him (among other things). He doesnt tell belmonte this when he is alone, only when he is with the 4 other protaganists

[@RossiniSoprano]

True! What other basso profundo would even *attempt* a trill, much less be able to do it?

[@taf44tt8io]

Does anybody know the Martti TALVELA version in a 1987's DECCA record, with Edita GRUBEROVA as Konstanze, Kathleen BATTLE as Blonde, Gösta WINBERGH as Belmonte and a very funny Heinz ZEDNIK as Pedrillo ? The WIENER PHILARMONIKER are conducted by the great Georg SOLTI. I really love his brilliant tempos, and I really love - as a bass-baryton myslef - Martti TALVELA !

very beautiful the top Fs

[@Ethratian]

oh my godness!
bassosaurusrex THANK YOU!!!
I'm so sad that I've never been able to watch Moll live :(((
For me there's no better one. I'm very happy that my parents will buy me this DVD for my birthday.
I'd be deeply grateful if you'd upload more videos showing us Moll's oustanding performances or could you give me some tips in which performances he was great?
Thanks again for uploading his sublime performances.

[@ivanmamede]

I love his roar

[@99SpidermanFan]

Immense, Kurt Moll! Il ne cesse de me stupéfier.

[@sargisbm]

BRAVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

[@didimagnin1841]

I've seen other Osmins. Noone beats den beliebten Her Moll.

[@99SpidermanFan]

Les mélomanes connaissent et apprécient l'impeccable basso profondo.

[@hannaseredynska1104]

@Max Seep I have Abduction from seraglio with exactly the same cast on CD. I love it!

[@RossiniSoprano]

Nope...Pedrillo. I have this video, and recognize the costume.

[@ChiiickenWiings]

oh nice :D
But isn´t that Belmonte and not Pedrillo?

[@clivegoodman16]

No it's Pedrillo.

[@Morphklon]

Ich muss sagen mir gefällt Kurt Rydl in der Rolle einfach besser, der hat einfach eine andere Stimme...
