Here is a link to a YouTube clip of Ferruccio Furlanetto, generally regarded as one of the best Leporello’s, performing the catalog aria at the Met a few years ago.  Furlanetto may not be a buffo, but his comedic roles, especially Leporello, make him one of the best Italian bass singers.

One Response to Leporello’s Catalog Aria

  1. Furlanetto’s still going strong. His performance last year in Verdi’s Don Carlo was one of the highlights of the Met season.
