| Fabulous ... ( 1 year ago by aseshet) |
| Fabulous performance! Was there a greater basso in modern times? Having never heard Jerome Hines in real life, was his voice really so resonant and cavernous or is that the effect of an old recording? |

| He was even better live. |
| A fine singer but ... ( 1 year ago by montallio) |
| A fine singer but his interpretation doesn't move me somehow. He sounds too cavernous and over-dramatic. I am not convinced he (and orchestra) have got the musical style right and certainly not the russian pronounciation. I do think the recording quality may be a factor because I used to think Leonard Warren also sounded too thick too my taste, until I heard other recording where his voice shined brilliantly. |
| This aria is ... ( 1 year ago by blakemooney) |
| This aria is beautifully sung by Hines--compare to Chaliapin and Russian singers--and matches anything I heard in the old Soviet Union in 1972 when many operas played each night. I studied this music over the years and don't hear anything here but the stupendous bass notes of Jerry Hines perfectly placed and sung. Do note that it must almost be over-acted or highly dramatic since it is Boris' last day on earth! |
| Well you are ... ( 1 year ago by lukebrainard2006) |
| Well you are welcome to your opinion, but the Russians thought that Hines' pronunciation was very good when he sang Boris at the Bolshoi. |
| And something else ... ( 1 year ago by luckymortal) |
| And something else I remember (that the recordings dont capture) is the ease and effortlessness he was capable of without losing anything. In one concert he went from Non piu andrai to Dormiro sol to (oddly enough) a Papageno aria. And that voice was like a dancing elephant. |
