10 Heldentenors sing high C - Götterdämmerung - all live

Описание к видео 10 Heldentenors sing high C - Götterdämmerung - all live

10 historical heldentenors sing the high C from act 3 of Götterdämmerung. All recordings are live recordings - the singing is real, no mounting of high notes like in the Solti Ring. This C is a difficult one - it comes late in the opera and after the long scene with the rheinmaidens. Musically, the tenor is completely nude: no orchestra, no other singers. The intonation is difficult.
The singers are organized in chronological order. The choice does not have anything to do with the quality of the singing. I took whatever I could find in my collection. Some are very good, some are catastrophes. The tenors are:

Lauritz Melchior
Max Lorenz
Ludwig Suthaus
Wolfgang Windgassen
Ramon Vinay
Set Svanholm
Hans Hopf (uhmmmmm...)
Jess Thomas
Hermin Esser
Jean Cox

This time, I did not put any comments. You can do that instead.
