@nskull9368 Today’s basses don’t have the rich low notes which Neri had and they have to try to darken their voices artificially. Basically they are not true basses. The only one who has a real bass voice is Furlanetto and he is coming to the end of his career and I don’t know anyone who can truly be categorised as a real bass that I have heard of. Nobody like Neri, Siepi, Kristoff or even Ramey!
