10 Heldentenors sing high C - Götterdämmerung - all live

10 historical heldentenors sing the high C from act 3 of Götterdämmerung. All recordings are live recordings - the singing is real, no mounting of high notes like in the Solti Ring. This C is a difficult one - it comes late in the opera and after the long scene with the rheinmaidens. Musically, the tenor is completely nude: no orchestra, no other singers. The intonation is difficult. The singers are organized in chronological order. The choice does not have anything to do with the quality of the singing.
