Dear God, that gave me chills. When he first says, "Den Mörder selbst zu morden" his face lit up with demonic glee. Purely awesome. Don Pizarro is such a great dramatic role. Walter Berry nailed it and without going over the edge.
Pinstripe173 : Your father was one of the greatest true baritone voices of his time, not only at Staatsoper Vienna ! He is truly missed by all of us. I still remember the sad day when I walked by the House on the Ring and saw the black flag going up on Staatsoper a couple of years ago. You can be very, very proud of your father ! This clip of singing Pizarro is prove that he was a great one. Best wishes from Canada !
That's amazing! Phenomenal performance! Walter Berry gave me the chills with that glare of his and what a beautiful voice. Gorgeous Don Pizarro! Thank you so much for uploading thi
Hold something straight horizontally just under his nose. There is literally no tension in his forehead. It's all there in the bottom. That is absolutely wild.
Berry really nailed the psychotic aspects of this character! His Wozzeck was similarly colored, but of course in a different way. Which performance is this from, and who conducted?
Glad I find one like you! I have been collecting his rare recordings/ videos for these 4 months... what a voice and expression he has, and he is truly adorable :)) not a mere Mozart buffo but a true artist!
Berry disegna alla perfezione il terribile Pizarro. Vocalmente altri forse sono superiori, ma nessuno come lui impersonifica il malvagio che si bea del suo trionfo malvagio
@cannante Uh. Yeah, it's him, but he's lipsynching. They all do in such movies. Not a Berry-specific things, every opera movie is lipsynched. Just back then opera singers had no training in it, so it sometimes looks pretty ridiculous.
