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.

Thank you for posting the short clip of Peter Anders Sr. It does seem talent (and common sense) skipped a generation in this family. I wonder if he lived to hear his son (Jr), and what he thought of it…..
I just listened to it again. It’s funny, the high note at the end (B natural?) works quite well. The rest, however…..
Uh….Wow! That is Flithy!
OMG he sounds like the male version of Renee Fleming, doesn’t he? Vulgar, clueless, cheap, nasty and ugly. Don’t forget that it was America’s Sweetwhore (sweeheart to some) who, after all, went down (so to speak) on record with Michael Bolton….and Andrea Bocelli as well. For the record.
Is it me or does it sound as though he is singing along to “Opera Karaoke”?!
It sounds as though the track were pre-recorded and then he put his vocals on top of it!!! If it’s him singing with an orchestra, the levels are all off. LOL
No matter, it still gives me lots of filthy joy!
My, my, how filthy can you get? Actually, I can tell you. After 53 seconds, my computer simply would not play any more of this guy! As Anna Russell would say, “I’m really not making this up, you know!” If any of you have heard recordings of Enrico Caruso, Jr., who had TWO opera singers for parents…well, it shows that talent is not always passed along to one’s offspring! As my mother would have said, “Well, I’m sure he has a beautiful soul.”
)
I did some web surfing. and found out more. Peter Anders, Jr. has a website for the “Peter Anders
Institut für Gesang” at
http://www.gesangsinstitut.de/
(The site is in German, BTW.) Yes, heaven help us all, he’s a voice teacher! He has three CDs that are available through the website. Also, to answer DJB’s question, the CD from which the sample comes credits the Hungarian State Orchestra conducted by Herb E. Norman. However, I agree that the orchestra’s part was probably
pre-recorded, and then Anders Jr. sang over it in a different room or studio. Who knows, he may be heard next on Karaoke Night in your city or mine…watch out!
There was a Italian Comprimario Tenor named Manrico Caruso who can be seen playing Trabucco on the Tebaldi video of La Forza. Does anyone know if he was any realtion to Enrico?
Oh… and can you think of any offspring of great singers who became great singers? I can’t.
Manuel Garcia and his daughters Maria Malibran and Pauline Viardot-Garcia.
