Voice, gorgeous timbre, style, supreme elegance, diction, an acting game...Polgar was, in so many ways, so closed to perfection. So how could explain why he has been so under rated ? What a loss...Very few recordings and DVDs unfortunately...It shows how the opera world is robbed by star system...Always the same...
Simply the most beautiful singing. No unnecessary dynamics and no trying to impress audience with forceful volumes. Just pleasant and natural singing!!!!!
Laszlo Polgar was clearly one of the greatest basses in operatic history. It is such a pity that he did not appear at the Met or La Scala, since this would made him much better known. Then we would have had more of his recordings to enjoy. But thank you to the contributors to RU-vid for these !
Thats right 👍 a wonderful voice, a voice, that I never hear before this Arie of Maestro, he was absolutely brilliant ❤️ even the best goes to early 😪 R. I. P. 💕
Since he mentioned in his interviews that his father has also died suddenly in his earlyforties, also in a heart attack, seemingly it's an unfortunate family trait...
In diesen heil'gen Hallen Within these hallowed halls Kennt man die Rache nicht. Vengeance is unknown; Und ist ein Mensch gefallen, And if a man has fallen, Führt Liebe ihn zur Pflicht. Love will call him to duty; Dann wandelt er an Freundes Hand, Then, guided by a friendly hand, Vergnügt und froh ins bess're Land. He contentedly enters a better land; In diesen heil'gen Mauern, Within these hallowed walls Wo Mensch den Menschen liebt, Where human loves human, Kann kein Verräter lauern, No traitor can lurk Weil man dem Feind vergibt. Because we forgive our foes; Wen solche Lehren nicht erfreun, He who is displeased with such teachings Verdient nicht ein Mensch zu sein. Is not worthy of being a human being.
...diese Worte sind zutiefst gefüllt mit gutem Geiste.Eine zeitlose ethische Anweisung für den Menschen im Umgang mit seinen Mitmenschen.Jesus hätte seine Freude daran gehabt. Danke an den Künstler und allen Menschen ,die es mir ermöglicht haben diesem Werk lauschen zu dürfen. Danke 🌻❣
Pocas veces he escuchado un bajo con un timbre de voz tan brillante aún dentro de su propio registro, ni siquiera necesitó empujar las notas muy graves.

What a great bass voice. Beautiful interpretation also. Ashamed to say I’m not familiar with his work so thanks to the RU-vid algorithm for introducing me to this artist
Credo che Laszlo Polgar sia stato uno dei massimi artisti di canto del secolo passato per il complesso delle sue qualità: innanzitutto una sensibilità musicale senza pari, abbinata ad una stupenda voce di basso uniforme in tutto il registro senza mai bisogno di forzature. Dotato di una eccellente tecnica è stato interprete di musica di ogni epoca con proprietà di stile. Stranamente sottovalutato dalla critica e dal pubblico, merita di essere ricordato anche per le sue straordinarie doti umane che, almeno per me, lo fanno affiancare a Kathleen Ferrier nell'olimpo dei più grandi.
Laszo Polgar aus Ungarn war mir nicht bekannt. Er hatte den selben Jahrgang wie ich und mußte schon 2010 serben. Er sang so einmalig, wie Kim Borg aus Finnland.
Yeah his voice is wonderful... But take notice of the acting in this scene. Like always, Polgar is playing with a lot of passion and, especially in this scene, love. I love how he is always fully taken up in his roles. And maybe it's just because is so good-looking and a very untypical Sarastro - very young and also his costume, very simple - but in this scene, I could imagine Sarastro and Pamina being a pair of lovers. Honestly, the look he gives her in the end - isn't this the look a woman wants to get from her lover?
CaelestisSapientiae Hmm, I don’t get that feeling actually - I’ve always felt that it’s very clearly interpreted as fatherly love. The way he puts his arm around her. Makes me miss my dad. Thanks for your comment :-)
@@nicholasneyhart396 I don't know about that - the singer Mozart wrote the role for originally was in his late 20s at the time of the premiere, and in the libretto Sarastro is simply Pamina's father's successor. Also, earlier in the opera, Sarastro tells Pamina, "Du liebest einen andern sehr. Zur Liebe will ich dich nicht zwingen" ("You love another very much. I will not force you to love.") which seems to imply that there was, at some point, some question of him marrying her himself.
Così mi guardò l'uomo che tanto mi amò e che io amai. Le espressioni finali sono nel mio cuore perché identiche a quelle di quell'uomo stupendo.Identiche. .
me encanta esta opera especialmente esta versión, y deseo conseguirla completa en dvd, alguien me puede decir en donde comprarla, asi como don giovanni con Samuel Ramey y dirigida por Karajan? se los agradecería INFINITAMENTE
You can still get it on Amazon, here: www.amazon.com/dp/B00006IUJ0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_osnqzb46MMAA0 I hope it never goes out of print. I watched this on VHS in 1994 and I've been hooked on opera ever since. It's an imperfect performance but Laszlo is lovely.
I was very disappointed listening to Kurt Moll. Maybe towards the end of his career and not in the same class as Polgar who was perhaps one of the most underrated Opera stars.
I always find that Polgar's approach is by far more tender and emotional, and in my opinion a bit more musical than Moll's, however Moll has a massive voice and a very regal and powerful approach to the role.
singe ich das tiefe E oder nicht? Die zweite Strophe war besser auch ohne ^. Das Tempo etwas ungleichmäßig. Er sang jeden Ton! Kein nachlässiges Deklamieren
Warum röhren die meisten Sänger diese Arie eigentlich so? Die einzigen, die mich überzeugen, sind Thomas Quasthoff und der Sarastrodarsteller aus der Bergmannverfilmung.
