In Opera & Song Volume 2 [VHS]

Rise Stevens in Opera and Song

The voice of tenor Lauritz Melchior (1890-1973) has come to be regarded as the standard by which all other Wagnerian tenors are judged. Astounding vocal power and stamina, beauty and evenness of tone, variety of vocal expression, perfect legato - these are the qualities which came together in Lauritz Melchior as in no other tenor since. In contrast to his celebrated portrayals of the solemn and forbidding Wagnerian heroes, Melchior possessed a robust sense of humor and unique personal charm which endeared him to a large and diverse public. This second volume devoted to Melchior's appearances on "The Voice of Firestone" telecasts further reveals the tenor as a consummate artist and a thoroughly engaging personality.
