Manuel Ausensi

Manuel Ausensi was a Spanish baritone celebrated for his rich, expressive voice and dynamic stage presence in operatic and Catalan musical traditions. Born in Barcelona in 1919, he became a stalwart of Spain’s mid-20th-century opera scene, particularly admired for bel canto roles like Figaro in *Il Barbiere di Siviglia* and Riccardo in *I Puritani*. His collaborations with legendary tenor Alfredo Kraus, captured in live recordings like the 1961 *I Puritani* performance, showcased his knack for blending technical precision with dramatic flair. Beyond opera, Ausensi championed Catalan folk songs, infusing them with heartfelt authenticity on releases like *Canciones Catalanas*. Though he passed away in 2005, his legacy lives on through reissues like *Lebendige Vergangenheit*, preserving his velvety baritone and versatility across classical and regional repertoires.
