In my mention of the singing of our National Anthem by Robert Merrill,
as heard today at Yankee Stadium Old Timers' Day, I mentioned that
Merrill must be included in a list of the most gorgeous baritone
voices. I asked for the possible names of others in this class.Here
are some candidates in my opinion:
Pavel Lisitsian
Dmitri Hvorostovsky
Thomas Quasthoff
Riccardo Stracciari
John Charles Thomas
your list???? CH |

My list would include the above, but add Tibbett and Bastianini.
Still, for me, Merrill will always be #1 for sheer vocal beauty.

Well, this IS an opera group, isn't it Mark. Would you rather we list
jockies who have won the Kentucky Derby? I find nothing wrong with
such lists. I hope others respond as I did.

I think that in 1953 the Kentucky Derby was won by jockey
Mario Ortica, who was mounted on a horse named Kurt Baum.....
However, they eventually were put out to pasture.....or possibly
SHOT!!!! >> Stay informed about: Robert Merrill and other baritones |

FUNNY..On so many forums, I have seen excellent threads that were
follow-ups to posters who made lists of favorites,etc..I wonder why
there might be some objection here......Many times a liast can
stimulate interesting discussions..pro and con..I think they are
important at times to stimulate discussions..... >> Stay informed about: Robert Merrill and other baritones |

I was just listening to an act of Don Carlos with him (Ortica)......I would
have to say that it defies description.
