Audio CD. Condition: Neu. Neu -Fast 1000 Wagner-Vorstellungen hat Melchior gesungen, davon allein 223 als Tristan, 183 als Siegmund und 235 als Siegfried in den beiden »Ring«-Opern. Doch nicht allein mit Stimmkraft überwältigte er sein Publikum. »Trotz seines stimmlichen Gewichts verfügte er . über eine erlesene Mezzavoce- und P…iano-Kultur ohne Verlust an Substanz oder Tragfähigkeit des Ton« (Kurt Malisch, Musikkritiker). Die Aufnahmen mit Lauritz Melchior erzielen »nicht allein durch stimmlichen Glanz, sondern durch den berührend menschlichen Vortrag ihre tiefe Wirkung« (Clemens Höslinger, Musikkritiker). Und auch das sagte Toscanini über Melchior: »Eine solche Stimme gibt es in 100 Jahren nur einmal«. Alle wichtigen Stationen auf seinem Weg sind mit repräsentativen Aufnahmen in dieser 10-CDBox vertreten. Mit Ausschnitten aus Tristan und Isolde, Die Walküre, Rienzi, Otello Aida soie dänische Lieder und Radio-Sketche u.v.m. 0 pp. Deutsch.

Contact seller5-star sellerDepicting Melchoir with numerous medals. 125 x 87 mm. Quite worn, creased, abraided, and faded; remnants of adhesive to verso. "The heroic scale of his singing, even as experienced through recordings," marked Lauritz Melchior as the foremost Heldentenor of the twentieth century. "In his later years [he] sang little but Wagner, a…nd concentrated on the heaviest roles, in each of which he appeared over 100 times (as Tristan, over 200). These figures suggest the stamina and endurance that enabled him to sound fresh in the last acts of Tristan and Götterdämmerung. A certain baritonal warmth remained a welcome characteristic, but there was no corresponding constriction in his top notes; Siegfried's lusty high C always rang thrillingly. These virtues were coupled with vivid and enunciation." Desmond Shawe-Taylor in Grove Music Online. Signed.

8vo. 1 p. Eigenhändige Postkarte mit Unterschrift. Lauritz Lebrecht Hommel Melchior war ein dänischer Heldentenor und gilt neben Max Lorenz als der größte Wagner-Tenor der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Seine Karriere als Wagner-Interpret begann am 14. Mai 1924 in Covent Garden in London in der Rolle des Siegmund in der Wal…küre. Noch im selben Jahr trat er erstmals bei den Bayreuther Festspielen auf, ein Jahr später debütierte er an der Wiener Staatsoper. Am 17. Februar 1926 begann mit einem triumphalen Tannhäuser Melchiors Karriere an der Met in New York, der er bis zum 2. Februar 1950 die Treue hielt. Er war mit Siegfried Wagner befreundet, für den er von 1924 bis zu dessen Tod 1930 alle großen Tenor-Partien mit Ausnahme des Lohengrin sang. Mit Kirsten Flagstad bildete er das beste Tristan und Isolde-Paar der 1930er Jahre.
