We hear him first, fresh-voiced and magnificent in even-toned sonority as Fiesco in his prologue to Simon Boccanegra. Then comes the complete triumph in one of his great roles, the King in Don Carlos: aristocratic in vocal method as in emotional restraint. His was the most beautiful of bass voices heard (in my experience) since the Second World War. ...the magnificence is unmistakable, and is more persuasively exhibited here, I would say, than any of his other collections on disc.
