Roger Soyer, a highly underrated French operatic bass, performing "Vieni la mia vendetta..." from the opera Lucrezia Borgia.
Just a beautiful, strong sound. I wish more video and audio recordings existed of his performances.

Roger Soyer, a highly underrated French operatic bass, performing "Vieni la mia vendetta..." from the opera Lucrezia Borgia.

So while we're on the subject, I'm going to go ahead and post the magnificent, yet largely un-remember/unrecognized today, French bass Roger Soyer also singing "Le Veau D'or" as Mephistopheles, from Gounoud's Faust, as a comparison to Samuel Ramey (see previous post).
Soyer has an elegant stage presence and a beautiful, expressive voice. It's interesting to see how he can convey the sinister, yet attractive, nature of the role without having the visual aid of red or devilish garments.
