My Take
Leonard Warren fascinates me less for his statistics than for the shape of his career. A New York baritone who became a Metropolitan Opera fixture, he reportedly had few rivals in the great Verdi roles, prized for sheer power and range. But what lodges in my memory is his death: he collapsed on the Met stage in 1960, mid-performance. There is something almost unbearably operatic about an artist dying in the act of singing. He was a theater man through and through, born and gone in the same city of stages. Even decades on, his recordings deserve a fresh, attentive listen.
