A Lithuanian bass Antanas Kučingis +••.••(...)) was a legendary person. In 1923-1927, he studied singing in Lithuania, in Kaunas Musical School, and during the 1924-1944 period was a soloist of Kaunas State Theatre. Simultaneously, since 1919, he served in the Lithuanian Army but being unable to combine these two occupations, retired in 1937 with the major rank. Before the WWII, Kučingis was very popular in Kaunas, he was called “the king of the Lithuanian basses”. Kučingis also sang in Estonia, Praha, Moscow (“A. Kučingis has an excellent central bass with very good bottom notes, his loud voice flows freely in wide cantilena. Forcing and frippery are alien to A. Kučingis‘ singing. He is simple in the very best sense of this word", Sovetskij artist, 1940.I.11), Helsinki, Stockholm, and Paris. After the War, in 1944-1948, he sang in the Lithuanian Opera in Vilnius, and also took part in the antisoviet resistance movement. As a result, Kučingis and most of his family were exiled to Siberia‘s camps where they spent 8 years. His resurrection concert in 1956, in the famous Kaunas Sporto halė, was an important cultural and political event. In 1969, already being 70 years old, he performed Méphistophélès on the same Kaunas stage where he began his artistic career. Kučingis created some 70 operatic roles. He was also the original performer of many works of the Lithuanian composers. Unfortunately, Kučingis did not leave any recordings from the prewar period (the only existing vinil is based on the 1958 recordings.) Our video is taken from (http•••) dated 1965.01.01.
