Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5 • Villa-Lobos • Barbara Hannigan 

You know, originally there was no second moviment, only the first. That is why when Bidu Sayao recorded this Bachiana, she only did the first movement! At the time there was no second movement yet! Perhaps Villa should have left it that way?

This soprano is a well talented artist, however, it's almost impossible for a non-Brazilian to sing it properly. The poem of the 2nd movement is full of colloquialisms and unique expressions, plus its selected speed is Alegretto. It's a tough accomplishment.

@@paulobenith9283 Netania Davrath pulled it off perfectly when she performed it with Bernstein, and she was Ukrainian.

I fully agree, as Davrath's performance is beyond exceptional, and I am sure that Ms Hannigan, who sings such easy scores as "Mysteries of the Macabres" (while conducting at the same time the orchestra), would be able to sing the second movement of these Bachianas.

Oh my dear friend. I am Brazilian and I didn't even know this piece had a second movement! To see how far the first movement eclipsed the second. Thank you for pointing it out, I looked here and it is indeed very beautiful!

I didn't even know there were lyrics to this song...

Estou em lágrimas, obrigado!

O poema é de Dora Vasconcellos, amiga do Villa. É lindo, não? The poem is sung on the midle section, omited many times in comercial recordings for films etc... It's very hard to understand what they sing, there is ususally meny problems of pronunciation there! Even the great Bidu Sayao sang the midle section with a sort of, not totally, but sort of italian accent! When she recorded it with Villa Lobos, there was no second movement to the work, only the first! That is why she did not record it. Villa wrote the second piece only later. And it makes a fabulous contrast to the firs one. It goes a bit lika cavatina and cabaletta in the Verdi or Bellini operas, ok?

@@luizfernandg Naquela época, a pronúncia do português no Brasil era um pouco diferente. Se você ouvir entrevistas do próprio Villa-Lobos, verá que há várias diferenças de pronúncia.

Poema perfeito à altura da composição !

E como dá orgulho! Gosto muito das peças de Villa Lobos👏👏👏

Eu sou fascinado pelas obras de VILA LOBOS. Me toca profundamente no meu emocional... isso aconteceu quando eu era garoto. hoje tenho mais de 60 anos e isso sempre se repete.

Verdade, mas é triste saber que grande maioria dos brasileiros nunca ouviram falar em Villa -lobos.

Pena que uma parte muito pequena desse mesmo povo conhece as maravilhas que são as obras dele...

vdd

Pensei que eu fosse o unico a sentir isso.

Johan Sebastian Bach e o Adágio de Tomaso Albinoni dão a mesma sensação.

Excelente 😄

“Saio de mim” …👏👏👏

"Galera BR", kkkkkkk. Ai, que vergonha que vocês me dão.

Villa Lobos foi professor de música da minha avó, nos anos 30, na escola. Naquele tempo, as escolas públicas ofereciam um ensino de primeiríssima qualidade. Vovó, R.I.P. 💗

Ouça a 4ht Bachiana - Heitor Villa Lobos.

É demais né. Fira desse mundo

Tinha a verdadeira alma de um músico. De tudo que ouvia o inspirava a fazer arte.

Affonso. Af Mas se no começo ela tivesse cantado a ao invés de o, seria melhor

Falou tudo amigo, Viva o lado bom do Brasil!

No Brasil existem vários lados bons.

@@kaellysaraiva3390 A partitura é assim amiga.

De fato

❤❤❤❤🎉

Perfeita, muita sensibilidade!

Amo seu Trabalho, sua obra!!!!!! Algumas telenovelas só foram o que foram em razão do seu trabalho!!! Quantas vezes eu me emocionei? Obrigada!

As interpretações da Ana Maria Martinez e Nethania Davrath são incríveis elas formam o top 3 que melhor cantam a música Nethania Davrath é a que melhor canta ela em português

An eagle eye. I noticed that too! Right off. Something seemed off about this all, though she does certainly a fastidious job, the passion seems theatrical but not what this music demands, which is exposure of a bleeding heart. She mimes it, she puts it out and acquits it, but I still find it a little "phoned in". That may seem ungenerous, but there are so many things like that these days, where it falls short of the mark of the great music. I would probably not say that if she weren't a pretty imposing "looker" with a splendid appearance, but we see this everywhere now: instead of the greatness and grandeur of the music, such as this surely is, we see a lot of skin exposed by female soloists, whenever it is there for the looking, whenever it is of a certain easiness on the eyes. CD photos on the case have it absolutely all the time, an industry standard, it's obligatory. "J'en ai ras le bol!" If we need to study all that, there's always the beaches at St. Tropez! But seriously, the classical music biz --and I sang many concerts with one of the very best ensembles (TCO)-- has become such a drag of commodification and bottom line manipulations, and it surely carries over to the concert stage in these terms. You may see Hilary Hahn (and she may be one of the more demure) in a strapless dress with well-coiffed mane flowing over her shoulders while her body, and cleavage "zone", bobs and weaves in sync with her bowing. This is the contribution of MTV, where the emphasis is all on the image these days (decades), and not the music, and in supplementing the actual music often imperils the purity of the performance. ( I'm talking only about classical genre here, the MTV product is a totally lost cause, for all that.) Just farcical. These days, as a male, I always try to turn things around, the ol' switcheroo: what if a male soloist, piano, violin, or singer soloist, were to strut out in a "muscle shirt" from the gym, or tank top, and flex his muscles in various body-building poses while he played the music? Ridiculous. You would laugh yourself senseless. You would think it was a take on Professor Schickele in PDQ Bach mode, you would lose it in laughing unto tears. So, why are women accorded the double duty of playing great music and also fully primping whatever physical endowments they may have to add to it? Sure, they want to be gloriously presentable, but the mode today is to cross over into pandering. It's just so pathetic, and makes a mockery of the magnificence of the music, such as this great Villa-Lobos masterpiece. I think I'll sing it a capella, busking, et al. In modest attire. Maybe a tux!

I am brazillian and I just can say: MERCY

Chris K you're lucky to have been a singer at the Milwaukee symphony chorus. I had the opportunity to listen to them sing Verdi's requiem in 2016, and it was amazing. Greetings from a Brazilian guy who lived in Milwaukee and still loves the city. :)

Com certeza meu amigo. Bach teria chorado com essa peça monumental

Bravo

Não chega passa nem longe, quanto mais perto...

@@igordrmReal, Villa-Lobos é MUITO melhor que Wagner e tantos outros aí

@@gabrielferrari7909 isso é querer massagear o próprio ego através de nacionalismo

O timbre é belíssimo e o fraseado extremamente bem cuidado, mas a dicção de fato deixa muito a desejar.

I think what you said is true...

I'm here because I'm Brazilian and this is one of the most famous of our VillaLobos composer 😊

Who’s Christian Grey???

😂😂😂😂 loool

Her accent is imperceptible.

Her Portuguese is terrible. I'm brazilian and I didn't unterstand anything.

@@jaymecollares7186 I also did 'nt understand bulufas. I know this text very well.

@@jaymecollares7186 até hj não ví uma cantora com o português melhor q o da Natania Davrath ao cantar esta música chega a ser melhor do q de o algumas cantoras brasileiras

Desculpa, mas apesar da maravilhosa interpretação melódica a verbalização não foi das melhores, não.

You are so polite dude.

"Perfectly pronunciated"??? I'm brazilian and I didn't understand anything.

Male soprano? Wouldn't you be called a countertenor?

Posta no YT, pfv +_+.

@@VicenteSanches male sopranos (sopranist) are like SUPER countertenor.

Oi José, esta bachiana é pra orquestra de violão cellos (8 no total) e uma soprano. Abraço!

Muuuuito melhor que a Sandy!

I think a few of them were in love with her. :)

Really?!

😂❤

comment vous françaises êtes aimables et tolérants

Jayme Collares cela peut en effet nous arriver...salutations. 😉

en passant moi je suis québécois, mais je considère que c'est le même moule

A parte cantada em português é terrível

@@jaymecollares7186 je ne vois pas le rapport, c'est une œuvre superbe magnifiquement interprétée.
