Bass Cage Match: Osmin's Low D!

Time to take the Opera Cage Match to a new low. The Low D in Osmin's aria "Ha! Wie will ich triumphieren" is one of the lowest notes in any standard repertory opera. I have compiled a sing-off between eleven basses, representing 60 years of freakishly low voices.

In chronological order:
1. Ezio Pinza 1947 (in Italian)
2. Mihaly Szekely 1959 (in Hungarian)
3. Gottlob Frick 1966
4. Kurt Moll 1974
5. Marti Talvela 1984
6. Matti Salminen 1987
7. Jaako Ryhänen 1988
8. Robert Lloyd 1991
9. Cornelius Hauptmann 1992
10. Franz Hawlata 2006
11. Kurt Rydl 2006

If you have a recording of someone else you think should be here, post it as a response!

And in my opinion, Pinza wipes the floor with all of them.
