Kurt Moll (born April 11,
Kurt Moll (born April 11, 1938) is a German operatic bass. He has made innumerable recordings of opera, sacred music, and lieder with many of the great conductors and piano-accompanists. In 1991, he won a Grammy Award for his recording of Das Rheingold. He can be seen in many roles on video, including Sarastro (twice), Osmin, the Commendatore, Dr. Bartolo (Mozart), Hunding, Gurnemanz, and Baron Ochs (several times). His voice was notable for its range, a true infra-bass including full, resonant low and very-low notes with relaxed vibrato; also for its unusual combination of extreme size and purring, contrabassoon-like timbre. Although he was large enough for most of Wagner's noble-bass roles, he was not a thunderer and he never performed as Hagen, Hans Sachs, nor Wotan. His interpretations tended to be restrained and intelligent, even in buffo roles like Baron Ochs and Osmin. His recording of Schubert's philosophical "Lieder für Bass" set a new standard for these songs... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Moll
Lyrics & English Translation
Certainly; the noble castle awaits us;
the funeral of my beloved lord, calls me there myself.
The Grail is to be uncovered for us this once;
today the long neglected service will be celebrated again -
to sanctify his noble father slain by the son's transgression,
for which he now will atone - this Amfortas promised us.
Be blessed, you pure one, through purity!
Thus may every trace of guilt and worry leave you!
Thus it was promised to us; thus I bless your head, to hail you as king.
You - pure one! -
Compassionate sufferer, wise and full of healing;
as you have borne the suffering of redemption,
lift the last load from his head!
That is ... Good Friday's magic, Sire!
You see, that's not how it is.
It is the tears of repentant sinners,
that fall like holy dew today to moisten field and meadow;
thus making them fertile.
Now all creatures rejoice in visible signs of the Redeemer,
to whom they dedicate their prayers.
Since they cannot see Him on the Cross,
they look up instead to man redeemed,
who feels free from dread and the burden of sin because of God's loving sacrifice.
The grass and flowers of the meadows
notice that the foot of man does not trample them today,
but that, as God, with heavenly patience and mercy,
suffered for man,
so mankind today in pious gratitude spares nature with gentle tread.
Then all creatures give thanks, all that blooms and soon will fade,
and nature now absolved from sin today enjoys its day of innocence.
Noon. The hour has come.
Sire, permit your servant to guide you!
Please enjoy!
I send my kind and warm regards,
