Amateur historian on Germany, opera aficionado...I sing as well, but due to chronic allergies I will never go professional. Here, I will upload various recordings and performances of singers I like, and some of singers I dislike. Please message me with any requests of audio you need. I try not to upload recordings that are already on Youtube, to avoid accusations of 'stealing' other people's recordings. 'I want to reach as many people as possible with the message of music, of wonderful opera. It is so important for people at a young age to be invited to embrace classical music and opera. Opera is one of the most important art forms. It should be listened to and appreciated by everyone. - Luciano Pavarotti Leave Opera to the talented vocalists...leave other musik to the average vocalists. More on Maestro von Karajan: To those who hate him because he was a 'Nazi.' You are simply being SILLY. His association with the Nazi Party was purely connected with his profession, music. He had absolutely nothing to do with the crimes commited by the Nazis during the Third Reich. Von Karajan was an honorable man, he was not a criminal, his association with the Nazis does not make him any less of a musician nor a human for that matter. Like most Germans, he realized the discrimination against the Jewish people in his country...but not the extent, (the German people were not informed of the Holocaust). His wife was Jewish, and he actually tried to withdraw his party membership several times. Maestro Herbert von Karajan is to be remembered as one of the greatest musicians of our century, and his reputation should not be ANY worse simply because he lived in the wrong country at the wrong time.

This 1924 studio recording (in German) of 'Che gelida manina' is of particular interest...because although the high C at the end is all but utterly avoided, it one of the most heartfelt and charming examples of tenor singing I have ever heard. Richard Tauber, as far as I know, never sustained a...
