Hans Hotter in Don Carlos
as King Philip II (sung in German)
1) "Ein wort noch.." ("Restate") with Hermann Prey (Posa)
2 )"Sie hat mir nie geliebt" ("Ella Giammai m'amo")
Taken from ZDF TV "Hermann Prey presents". ZDF late 1960s
No orchestra and conductor known. This is a great rarity with Hotter and Prey together, Hotter sang the role of Philip very rarely and only early in his career.
3) Grand Inquisitor Scene - Vienna State Opera
10 December 1978
Berislav Klobucar
with Simon Estes (Philip II)
Hotter sang the role of the Grand Inquisitor over 400 times during his career.
His interpretation here of the 90 years old Inquisitor is ideal.
As it should be. Hotter was approaching his 70th birthday at the time of this performance.
