I was a crazy opera fan at the Old Metropolitan House from 1959 and still am. I saw all the great post-war singers. He was stupendous, great voice and incredible stage presence. I was so lucky to see all his role. What a time it was. It gradually fizzed at in the mid-seventies. There were marvelous singers then, but the Post-war greats were gone. Siepi was one of the giants. Freni was one of the newer crop and she was magnificent.

Il Mozart del grande Siepi è impareggiabile. Il migliore di sempre. Troppa classe.

Eleganza, morbidezza, omogeneità, intonazione, dizione, fraseggio, espressione, intensità, ma dove stanno più questi bassi. Grandissimo artista il nostro Siepi.

I do admire the amazing voice of Siepi, the greatest bass of the Italian Opera history.

[SwingShoes]

This is a fantastic concert from 1985. It is a testament to Siepi's incredible technique for an almost 40 year career.

Complimenti anche al direttore per i tempi di esecuzione e la maestria nell'accompagnamento.

Siepi jumped over walls in Don Giovanni. I saw it as a freshman standee in the New Met’s first season. My heart still races at the memory.

La tristezza sta nella consapevolezza che così non canta più nessuno oggi. Due dei dell'Olimpo della lirica. Concerto meraviglioso

I believe they are now being invited to sing at the birthday parties of the Blessed Virgin, in Heaven.

[Shahrdad]

Siepi was not just a great singer, but also a very very kind man.

Oggi abbiamo perso Mirella Freni... Rimarrà con noi tramite la sua arte! R.I.P

[paolopecchioli]

Che Don Carlos, una classe infinita!!

[brandobottom]

L'eleganza vocale e la classe di uomo di Siepi sono da manuale. Chapeau!

In meiner Studien Zeiten, ...als ich sie als Susana erlebt hatte, ..war ich begeistert, ..Heute als Tosca, ..na was, ..?, ..Wenn eine Subrette eine dramatische Partie singen will, ..so hört ist es an, ..Der Siepi hat eine ganz andere Gesangskultur Technik als sie, ..Bei seinem Gesang fühle ich mich wohl und entspannt, ..

Este tipo me hace llorar, creo que es la voz masculina mas hermosa que ha existido...Cesare Siepi Bravo

[petergraham]

I have the video cassette of this & I think it’s from the mid ´80s when Siepi was I believe in his mid sixties. He kept singing until around 1988 I think & still sounds terrific here. Most claim that he was born in 1923 but once I saw 1920 as his birthdate. He had early experience as a madrigal singer in his teens & made his opera debut (either at 18 or 21) as Sparafucile I think. In any case he had been singing opera for about 45 years at the time of this recital. Few bass voices were or are in comparable shape at this time in their career with Mark Reizen being one exception: singing GREMIN at the BOLSHOI on his 90th birthday. You tube may still have a video of this!
