Leonard Warren (Baritone)

This 10-CD set features the great American baritone Leonard Warren in performances of operas by the composer with whom he was mostly associated, Giuseppe Verdi. Warren, who tragically died on stage during a performance of La Forza del Destino, was a stalwart at New York’s Metropolitan Opera in the 1930s, 40s, and 50s.

The memory of the baritone Leonard Warren (1911-1960) will remain linked not only with several of the most dazzling performances in the history of the New York Metropolitan Opera, but also with one of its most tragic events. On March 4th 1960 Warren collapsed and died on stage from a stroke during a performance of Verdi’s La Forza del Destino (The Force of Destiny). Renata Tebaldi was supposed to celebrate her return to the Met, and with her on stage were Warren and Richard Tucker, stars of the company. But while singing his great aria Morir! tremenda cosa (“O death! what dread thing”) his heart failed. He had joined America’s most famous opera house in 1938 and until his death had sung there in 610 performances, 359 of which were operas by Verdi, no fewer than 89 being Rigoletto.

Personnel: Leonard Warren (baritone), Orchestra of the Metropolitan Opera House, New York, Fausto Cleva (conductor), Robert Shaw Chorale, RCA Victor Orchestra, Renato Cellin (conductor), Orchestra dell’Opera di Roma, Jonel Perlea (conductor) and others
