What a magnificent and varied lineup of selections. It speaks to Siepi’s versatility, not to mention vocal stamina. I can’t imagine singing solo selections for 90 minutes straight. 30 minutes was tricky enough for me! Bravo Cesare!

Cesare Siepi gibt hier einen kleinen Einblick in sein umfangreiches Repertoire. das wiederum sein großartiges Künstlertum in allen Belangen reflektiert. Was sagt Rudolf Bing, der ehemalige Met-Leiter? = „Cesare Siepi ist ein nobler Mann, ein Bass von internationalem Format, den ich voller Stolz an der Met einführte. Er blieb während meiner gesamten Amtszeit und wurde als der große Künstler, der er ist, anerkannt und gepriesen“.

As far as ITALIAN bass voices go (since he retired) there have been several fine ones but none that I have heard who surpass him in musicianship or beauty of timbre. Several exceed him in terms of interpretation of certain roles (King Phillip for example) but, as Mozart’s Figaro & Don Giovanni he really adds, through both the music & drama, a quality not matched by any since his time. As late as 1986 in a recital with Freni he still had the voice any basso cantate would envy. Although referred to such in the previous sentence he had a superb depth to his instrument. 2 examples, at least, exist of him adding a low C in fact. One in his recorded aria album from the late 1950s & the other in a LIVE performance of the Cardinal’s aria in LA JUIVE from 1981. The esteemed late John Steane in disparaging him was way off his mark. Siepi was also superior to Pinza as DON GIOVANNI in the elegance of his style & musicianship. But one cannot forget Pinza was Pinza whose voice was an even finer natural instrument but who could not apparently read music. How Pinza ever learned GOLAUD in PELLEAS is hard to imagine but he did manage somehow. Anyway where do find either of their voices nowadays?
An ex teacher who was a bass with an international career himself said when he saw siepi live in his prime said the voice seemed like it came from a huge hole in stage rather than his mouth. I disagree regarding pinza who was an idol in ny youth. Pinza had a beautiful voice but siepis..was um sure much larger.
Pity there was no double bass available for the 'Per Questa Bella Mano'. I loved the Porter songs at the end. "Easy to Love" should be called 'Hard to Sing". It has a huge range. Pop singers do it in falsetto. Nice to hear it sung full voice.
Thank you so much, dear Elgra3, for this very valuable information. That must have been quite some work to do! Thanks for your dedication. A. von Uri, Switzerland

Morbidezza, omogeneità in tutta la gamma vocale, sonorità ed estensione, con una vera vocalità da basso....... Siepi un gigante, vero vanto italiano.
Such an inspiration for Bass singers!

Forse e' l'unico caso che e' vera la frase "non ci sara' mai uno come lui".
Kissé járatlan vagyok az opera- irodalomban, így csak a Don Carlos tudtam beazonosítani... De Gyönyörű hangú énekes!
Siepi è il mio grande idolo e ispiratore di tutta la mia carreira. Bravissimo!!!!

Ja, ich erinnere mich an Siepi immer als Don Giovanni und habe ihn bei jedem anderen Sänger dieser Rolle im Ohr so wie Gobbi als Scarpia
Das Vermächtnis eines Genies!! Man hört Cesare Siepi und ist wunderbar eingesungen!!
So smooooove and easy! Truly a beautiful voice.

At 22:30 Siepi is smoking. I have seen Bastianini smoking cigarettes. Caruso was a heavy smoker. Obviously it did not bother them much.
Also Lisa Della Casa was a big smoker. I believe there's a TH-cam of her smoking during a BBC interview.
@@user-bc9mn7gq2c, since my first comment, they all had already stopped smoking and living.
But it didn't do them any good either.

Siepi smoked?
AND HOW !!!...during the years I knew him 61 to 79 aprox. it was LARK CIGARETTES
