Orquesta de Camara del Conservatorio Superior de Musica de las Islas Baleares. Director: Alfredo Oyaguez Montero Solista: Martti Wallen (Finlandia), bajo Contrabajo Obligatto: Pablo Moreno Saura
Perfect interpretation, nice bass voice, thank you Mr. Wallen you are the real part of the Finnish bass traditions, following your great predecessors like Kim Borg, Martti Talvela, and part of the living great group(Salminen, Ryhanen ...) The double player needs more training to reach your level, but thanks for him because of playing Mozart's this opus is a big challange. Laszlo Baranyay from Hungary
Yes, very nice bass, but it is not basso profundo voice. If you want to hear operatic basso profundo, it is probably only Kurt Moll with his ability to sing low C or look at Vladimir Miller, who is the octavist in Sankt Petersburg and he was Molls student.
He is actually a basso cantante (low bass) rather than a basso profondo (very low bass). He does not have the depth of sound nor the downrange that Moll had and Vladimir Miller has.
What a discovery I've made - a breathtakingly wonderful bass. Sonorous in all the registers, with shades of Sherril Mines in his timbre at times. Sheer vocal delight. However, in my opinion he's greatly let down by a decidedly lacklustre orchestra who generally make heavy weather of their contribution...
