While I like the crop of contemporary singers: Ramey, Terfel, Morris.
And enjoy listening to bassi & bassi cantanti of the golden age:
Siepi, Pinza & Giulio Neri....

The model of sound of a bass-baritone or helden-bariton - to these ears -
has been, is & will always be: Ferdinand Frantz [period].

Perhaps the only basso that approximates this sound is Kurt Moll.

Regards & good health to all.
