Romans 8/31-34. Heart Melting Singing and Musical performance of well executed team work. May our Lord Jesus Christ Bless you all. Greetings of Best WISHES from Democratic Socialist Republic of Srilanka.
I love Scholls voice, mainly for its resonance and the fact that it still sounds male despite singing countertenor. I'm not so keen on this as its not the best version Ive heard, I prefer female voices in this role and also he does sound fairly female which seems a bit odd.
I don't get it... If I slow down the video she goes back and forth between two pitch, but when she actually trills the notes are different. Pls someone tell me, if I go back and forth between a c and an d (1 full tone apart), am I supposed to trill between those two notes, or do a one semitone trill? This is so confusing to me... :')
An absolutely sublime performance & of all singers of Bach & Mahler Ferrier perhaps moves me the most. In respect to the Alto Rhapsody Christa Ludwig & Marian Anderson along with Ferrier have given the 3 most memorable interpretations in my experience. Ludwig & Anderson are memorable in Mahler as well, in fact few nowadays can surpass them, IMO.
Die schauspielerische Leistung von Malin Hartelius und Klaus Maria Brandauer ist hervorragend, berührend. Geschweige denn das Singen!!! Anders als so viele Singerinnen, sie kennt nicht nur forte und fortissimo, sondern auch crescendo, decrescendo und pianissimo.
Voce limpida, sinuosa, flessibile, amabile, nobile con aperti slanci sonori che toccano la volta celeste. Oh, Marita, che gioiosa sorpresa sentirti cantare dall'altro della tua versatilità e pur nelle difficile aria haendeliana
Quelle voix unique! Quelle émotion! Je ne peux pas l'écouter sans pleurer. Malheureusement Kathleen est partie bien trop tôt. De tels artistes sont irremplaçables. Ma mère est partie paisiblement, à mes côtés, en écoutant Kathleen Ferrier. L'émotion de cette voix magnifique a aidé l'âme de ma mère à quitter son corps, après tant de souffrance, elle trouvait l'apaisement.
Kathleen Ferrier was just 41 years of age when she died of cancer in 1953(the same year that also saw the passing of legendary Wagnerian bass/baritone Friedrich Schorr).
I think Richard Croft has it all here: great controll and style, beautiful and even voice, impeccable line and pitch, agility that isn't only flawlessly concise, but also eloquent and expressive, powerful enunciation of the words and dramatic attack, as well as the right measure of vulnerability and lyric abandon. As for the staging: Staged oratorios were quite in fashion over a certain period, and here the director obviously invented a narrative arch over the whole "Messiah", so it can't be judged from just this excerpt.
