Oktavism & Basso Profundo Compilation | C2 - C1 | Part 2

“Simply put, the term oktavist is most precisely used to refer to basses that sing down to contra B flat and lower in a choral setting. Basso profundo is Italian in origin, and has a long history of clear definition within the operatic tradition, being subdivided into the categories of lyric and dramatic. While the term basso profundo comes from Italy and the opera tradition, oktavist has its roots in the choirs of Russia.” Information, videos and notes taken mostly from the Oktavism channel. Big thanks to them for existing. Thanks also to Jay for helping me source some of the lower clips. Tried to use some lesser known oktavists this time. No repeated clips (other than Zlat C1 as he’s the only madman to have sung a live C1 in a choral setting) Please watch part 1 before commenting that I missed a clip. It may be there. Unknown = we don’t know who sung it or I was simply unable to find out There are inevitably mistakes in this video. Please let me know of any you find.
