This is a tenor. Why is a tenor singing a Verdi baritone role? At the MET?? And why can't the tenor hit the interpolated baritone note at the end of the aria? If anyone wants to hear a baritone sing this like nobody ever has, then listen to the recording of Joseph Shore in Arizona Opera's Macbeth here on KZitem. There was a 2nd Leonard Warren. His name was Joe Shore. I say that as someone who has always absolutely worshiped Leonard Warren. Please listen to the shore rendition.

paddyswok: I respect anyone who can finish a Verdi's opera. But this Met's level. It has to be outstanding. Or the Met has changed. For some one who knows and loves this art, this is not serious for big houses. If I had paid money I would have been pretty upset. Hampson is not a Vedi Baritone. Period. Only Placido surpasses him faking a Verdi baritone.

I don't understand the criticisms below. What do you expect? This is highest art. It's live, full of most sincere emotions, tenderness, delusion, heart... Listen to the pianissimo at the end - which artist has the grandeur to let ring out as simply, truly, silently and eternally? Hampson is one of the greatest Verdi baritones to me, if not the very greatest. Anyone who's criticizing here should a) perform this with comparable perfection, b) be aware we're discussing the top level of singers.

Thomas Hampson is a wonderful artist. However, he is not a Verdi or Dramatic Baritone, but a Lyric Baritone. That being said this is a wonderful rendition of this aria. He sings with great technique and never pushes and you feel Macbeth's pain. He also has great dynamic control. Of course, if you expect to hear a larger and different sound, then this won't be the rendition for you.

Speaking of Mr. Hampson, he did not get famous because of his recordings. I mean, he is booked all over the world in the best opera houses for many years now. I think they wouldn´t invite him all the time if he was not good enough or if there were many others better than him...

Yeah; he sounds (and looks) a little too young and/or boyish for Macbeth. Hampson I think could, with his youthful looks and voice, make for a heartbreaking macduff since his youth would help to make him more sympathetic to the audience. I get that he wanted to branch out, but if he did want to, he would need to do it gradually.

I really do not wish to contribute to all of the vituperation I read her - most of it, unfortunately, deserved. It would seem that Mr. Hampson sells tickets, which would be the only possible reason opera houses cast him in these roles. The danger is, young singers hear this and think this is a Verdi baritone. Then, when they hear MacNeil, Bruson,Cappuccilli, etc. (real verdi singers) in this music, they don't like it, because they've been "educated" to think that this here is the real thing. Oh well, we can't change it. The PR and recording companies are too strong.

Recording technology has come such a long way that it is impossible to listen to this objectively. The many available digital ways to share opera can sometimes deceive us. The purest form of Opera is(in my opinion) when it is witnessed live and without amplification. I'm glad his singing touches your heart, but I hope you don't limit yourself to recordings. A singer finding mainstream success is not always a result of meritocracy. There are some great Verdi baritones you should hear live...

My friend, I totally agree with you. I'm a Kavalier baritone (Which is neither lyric nor dramatic, it's between both) myself, and really, I hear a lot of lirical rendering of Verdi's work which are as credible as the more dramatic voices. Of corse, that doesen't mean we would go for roles like "Iago" but Macbeth is totally acceptable, in my humble opinion of corse. Why do we never hear, however, that dramatic baritones should sing... Barbiere? we praise them almost for doing so...its frustrating

@ruffatony In my taste, Thomas Hampson suits the Verdi repertoire very very well. Why should a "Verdi baritone" be dark, somber, muffled, intelligible and barking? I had the chance of listening to him at a recital at the Tonhalle in Zürich, with a full late-romantic size orchestra, performing Verdi. He blew the audience off - not with force but by the sheer resonant power of his extremely well placed voice. His acutes made my skull shake (!) and I was 30 m away !!!
