The Other Great Welsh Bass-Baritone

Back


Sir Geraint Evans singing "Oh Diamond Shine" from "The Tales of Hoffmann". This is better known as "Scintille Diamant" from "Les Contes d'Hoffmann". But here it is sung in English. This aria is by Offenbach but it is not originally from Hoffmann. It is from "Le Voyage Dans La Lune". In some modern productions it is now cut. This performance is from a TV broadcast with Michele Molese as Hoffmann. Evans had a range and a repertoire very much like that of Bryn Terfel. Evans was shorter so he played a lot of short guy parts like Papageno and Beckmesser. Terfel being taller, gets to do Sachs and Giovanni. Overall however Evans voice is darker and a little more dramatic than Terfel's. Both have been famous Leporellos and Falstaffs.
