Still the greatest Russian bass of the 20th century in my perception. Chaliapin had a fabulous reputation also, but his recordings are too early to judge them with modern ears. Christoff combined a great voice with great musical taste and refinement. Each separate note is tailored to the moment, as well as adding to the whole musical arc. I find him to be more emotionally truthful than any other great bass. This is the earliest good recording I've heard, and it's an old standby, but he makes it new again. Christoff's high "singer's formant" can be heard even on the low notes, and in his final high note it comes out with great confidence and purity. He retained that flexibility and emotional perfectionism for many years, also a feat for someone who sang as a cantor in Bulgarian Orthodox liturgy as well as opera, lieder, and the rest. His Italian performances sound like a Bulgarian singing Italian opera, reflecting his childhood roots in Bulgaria and presumably Soviet Russia. He lived much of his life in exile from Stalin's barbarians in Italy.
