Anders als die Anderen

It does La Cieca’s withered old heart good to know that, yes, indeed, the filth just keeps on coming. Here’s a selection from a CD by Peter Anders Jr., who inherited his name (and that’s about it) from his famous father.

    There are several cases of children of great singers who became great singers. Malibran and Viardot were the daughters of Manuel Garcia, Rossini’s first Almaviva. The father of Erminia Frezzolini (Verdi’s first Giovanna d’Arco among several other roles she premiered) was the baritone Giuseppe Frezzolini, the first Dulcamara in L’Elisir d’amore. In this century, Brigitte Fassbaender’s father was the very well-respected (Ok, perhaps not great) baritone Willi Domgraf-Fassbaender (I seem to recall that he sings in a pre-war Glyndebourne recording of Nozze di Figaro).

    We also have Montserrat Marti and Placido Domingo, Jr :)

  • Baritenor says:

    Does Placido Jr have any kind of career other than singing treble roles on some his father’s old recordings? (He’s featured as the Shepard Boy in the film of Tosca with Milnes and I think it was Kabaivanska)

    Oh, and Can anyone give me a link to a picture of Piero de Palma? I’ve scoured the net and can’t find one, and I want to put a face to the voice.

    Gino Quilico is Louis Quilico’s son, two fine baritones with entirely respectable careers. If you have librettos from some 60s RCA recordings, you will find a picture of Piero de Palma, I believe he is the goro on the Leontyne Price Butterfly, many other small roles during those years at RCA. The LP booklets often have his picture in them

    Domingo, Jr, appears on the Domingo/Migenes Man of La Mancha as one of the muleteers who sing LITTLE BIRD.

    I heard Rolf Bjoerling as Rodolfo in Stockholm about 1975. A most weird experience as the voice was reminiscent of father Jussi, but as a pale shadow. I think he made some recordings but I have never heard them.
