Stylistic highlights of the opera and operetta interpreted by baritone Octav Enigărescu

Summary/Abstract: The baritone Octav Enigărescu, a high-profile artist of the Romanian singing school, occupies one of the first places in the baritones pleiades from the second half of the 20th century, due to his multiple artistic profile, to his versatility. He was an interpreter of opera, of lied, and oratorio, director, professor, actor, manager of the Romanian Opera House in Bucharest, one of the personalities of Romanian lyric art, that contributed to its integration into the international artistic phenomenon. He possessed a rich range of colours and vocal shades, a voice of great ambitus, clear, warm, without strideness, nuanced enough to give the substance of the roles, with a bright, sharp, well-balanced center and a fairly consistent gravity. Owing to these qualities, as well as the acquired technique, he had the ability to successfully fit into the stylistic coordinates that allowed him to address various types of roles in the repertoire of the lyrical baritone and even tenor.
