I remember him well in Wolfgang Wagner’s Meistersinger production during my one season in the Bayreuth chorus in ‘83……….
An excellent singer and a very nice man, I worked with him many many years ago in Bordeaux, he sang Amonasro (very well). RIP
A wonderful baritone whose presence always raised the quality of Hungaroton opera recordings.
