Bryn Terfel ist einer der ganz wenigen Jahrhundertbassbaritone , die man nicht einmal an einer Hand zählen kann. Und auch heute ist er in einer einmaligen und einzigartigen Weise in sängerischer und künstlerischer Art im Opern- und Konzertfach in der ganzen Welt unterwegs. Einige Male durfte ich ihn live erleben und immer wieder wurden die ganz grossen Opernsänger der Vergangenheit lebendig. Ausserdem durfte ich ihn auch persölich kennenlernen. Dabei war er stets ausserordentlich sympathisch und freundlich in menschlicher Hinsicht. Alles Liebe und Gute weiterhin auf seinem Lebesnsweg wünscht ihm von ganzem Herzen Michael und Markus Zimmermann aus der Schweiz !!!!
Listen to his voice here and then listen to how it's progressed. This is the start of his 'shouting' technique and it's fairly evident, today he literally barks his way though everything; even Vaughan Williams and Schubert songs.
Please give examples if there are some on youtube. i feel his shouty way through this is entirely appropriate for this piece It makes it sound very viceral
For those who criticise this performance, you must allow for these technicalities due to the intense weather conditions. It is intensely difficult to produce such bellowing notes when the vocal cords are stiff.
For people being so harsh critically, y’all don’t understand how IMPRESSIVE and DIFFICULT it is to sing in cold weather. To be able to bellow like this takes incredible technique in normal conditions!!
It works well but it's still Italian opera and should always have a lyrical flow to the music. I did hear Bryn on radio 3 the other day and he sounded absolutely beautiful so maybe he's not doing quite as much shouting as I thought!
Give this great artist a break. The weather conditions are obviously awful to sing in. The producers of this event should have thought twice about this. Singing outdoors is difficult enough without it being in the dense cold.
Patrícia Moura: you are completely right: Allow me to make your words mine: "He sings perfect. Bryn Terfel is one of the most important singers of our days. Let us enjoy this tremendous bariton. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 BRAVO." Peolple who comment otherwise do not know what they are saying and do not understand anything about singing. He has an irreprehensible technique and powerful and beautiful voice.
he is awful in singing vowels...unhearable...and he sings mozart too...from italy...je performed leporello at la scala on 7th dec 2011...he was terrible...
dal vivo Terfel sta cantonando /urlando/ con una vocetta ibrida,poco bella e ingolata. le sue registrazioni sono una bugia niente altro . non mi piace affatto.
