Compilation: Ramón Vinay - Arias from Carmen, Samson, Holländer, Otello, Tosca & Tristan
$5.95
Description:
While many women have successfully navigated careers that bridge the soprano and mezzo-soprano fachs, very few male singers have managed a comparable pivot between tenor and baritone. One remarkable exception is Ramón Vinay. Though best known for his tenure as a heroic tenor, Vinay began and ended his career singing baritone roles. Recordings of him in this lower range are rare, which makes this compilation especially valuable.
It offers a balanced selection of Vinay’s work in both registers. Included are baritone scenes from Der fliegende Holländer, Carmen, Tosca, and Otello, alongside tenor excerpts from Samson et Dalila, Die Walküre, Tristan und Isolde, and Otello. Regardless of where one believes Vinay’s voice truly belonged, there is no denying the power, richness, and dramatic immediacy of his instrument. This collection is a testament to his extraordinary vocal and interpretive range.
