Today we’re listening to…“M’appari,” (originally known as “Ach, so fromm”) Lionel’s aria from Act III of the romantic comic opera Martha by Friedrich von Flotow. Thank you to one of our OD subscribers, Paul Allerding, for reminding me of this opera. For many years
Jonas does a good job, but Nicolai Gedda's Angel recording of this MARTHA aria is phenomenal. Gedda has amazing tone and breath control. Wondrously sung in the 1960's as a Great Recording of the 20th century. Worth hearing anytime to astound the listener.
I need to check this out thank you! To be completely honest it has been hard to choose! Between Pavarotti, Domingo, Kaufman, Schipa, Bjorling, Tagliavini! So many. Now I will add Gedda to the list
