Michael Bohnen: Vous qui faites l'endormie from Faust (Gounod)

The great German bass-baritone sings Mephisto's serenade in German (Scheinst zu schlafen du im Stübchen), grammophone recording made in 1930. Bohnen is the best Mephistofeles I have ever heard. He is a brilliant vocal actor. He is vulgar, nasty, very evil. The video clips of the great Emil Jannings in Murnau's Faust movie (1926) are a perfect match. Btw, Emil Jannings was the first person ever to win an Oscar for Best Actor.
