To honor both the 233rd anniversary of The Magic Flute's premiere and the late, great baritone Benjamin Luxon, I'm sharing this clip.
"Bei Männern, welche Liebe fühlen," sung by Benjamin Luxon and Felicity Lott. Glyndebourne Festival Opera, 1978, conducted by Bernard Haitink.

RIP Benjamin Luxon.
Why did I not know until just now that we lost this magnificent British baritone two months ago?
His filmed opera performances – Don Giovanni, Papageno, Count Almaviva, Ford, Falke, Monteverdi's Ulisse – were always outstanding, as were his many recordings, not just of opera, but of folk music, parlor songs, and other music as well. (As a note to @ariel-seagull-wings, he also played the town crier in the 1989 TV adaptation of The Tailor of Gloucester starring Ian Holm.)
Even after his singing career was cut tragically short by hearing loss, he built a new career as a narrator, poetry reader, and stage director.
He'll never be forgotten.
On July 25, 2024, Baritone Benjamin Luxon died at the age of 87.
