Daniel and Ben’s Fundraiser RecitalHello Followers! As some of you may know, I am actually a current student that has been lucky to get a plethora of performing opportunities. One of those opportunities is an offer to sing in a summer program in Italy, but I’m also planning my move to graduate school in the fall, and I’m coming up short on money. For this reason, my roommate and I put together this fundraiser recital (I’m Daniel, he’s Ben). I wanted to send out this link, so you guys could see me sing and perform, but also to ask for possible donations, or if you know anyone else who can donate, please please please signal boost this and spread the word. Also, let me know what you think of the singing. I love critique in (almost) any form.
Thanks!
Seriously, help a fellow opera singer out if you can, this community has been really good to me and I don’t know where else to turn to in my time of need.
Great recording of the Brahms’ Vier Ernste Gesange

Feruccio Furlanetto!
A German born singing Wagner, as it should be. Who else is lookking forward to the Met’s next Ring Cycle with the man himself as Wotan? (Did love Terfel, though, don’t get me wrong)
The man was a God, and sang into his old age. Cesare Siepi, singing Verdi. Ella giammi m’amo
Giorgio Tozzi. The youtube description says it all:
Samuel Barber brought Giorgio a few loose sheets of music one day during rehearsals for Vanessa saying, “I wrote this for you last night - I thought you needed something at the end of the show.” Rest in peace, Maestro.
The great Cesare Siepi singing another great song cycle for bass, Don Quichotte à Dulcineè by Maurice Ravel. Interestingly enough, this cycle was meant for a movie about the spanish legend Don Quixote. Ravel surprisingly didn’t win, but rather his pupil did. The cycle was still released, and is quite popular.
This is Hans Hotter singing Brahms’ Vier Ernste Gesänge (Four Serious songs). If you are a bass and you don’t know this song cycle, you really should. In all its Brahmsesque glory, it is truly wonderful. Hotter even takes it down to a lower bass key than originally transposed.
It’s nice to hear an Italian singing Puccini, although it’s not in his native language, he still has the right feel for it. Te Deum from Puccini’s Tosca, sung by Ruggero Raimondi.
