Morphology
The noun phrase is a straightforward composition of 'baritone' (a specific male singing voice between tenor and bass) and 'voice' (sound produced by singing). The overall meaning is directly derivable from its parts and follows a common, non-idiomatic noun+noun composition, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would understand it.
Etymology
Baritone voice may come from an old word for a deep, 'heavy' sound. Imagine a ladder of male singing voices with bass at the bottom, tenor at the top and the baritone standing between them, so it means the 'middle-low' male singing voice.
