Hier im ird'schen Jammertal - Schweig schweig damit dich niemand warnt
Hermann Uhde - Kaspar
Uhde is a very underrated baritone, he can sing everything, from Mozart's Figaro and Don Giovanni, Beethoven's Pizarro, to Wagner's Flying Dutchman, Telramund, Wotan, Amfortas and he can also sing some bass roles like Filippo II and Grand Inquisitor in Verdi's Don Carlo. Uhde sounds like Giuseppe Taddei a little bit, his voice is very clean, not nasal, not throaty, not constricted, but very powerful, so much squillo in his voice.
