WOW! I knew she was a Great singer but as a teacher she is so nice and complementry to each of the singers and so encouraging to them to help them. This is how we will have more great singers!

@edwingerard8544 5 лет назад

I just watched a Schwarzkopf master class then this one by Kiri. What a difference. Kiri starts by listening and understanding the overall need of the student, then zeroes in on his or her major needs. Schwarzkopf cuts them off after two seconds and focuses on some minor detail of pronunciation. They seldom can get past four bars, while she looks at her audience and gets laughs at her student's expense. Kiri te Kanawa is everything a teacher should be: With her, it's all about the student. not about the teacher!

@Bumblebeebeebee 4 года назад

Schwarzkopf was a fantastic teacher and really lifted the quality of her students. And I say that as a singer myself. No need for any bashing just because the listener might not feel comfortable with a certain style of teaching. I assure you that the students are grateful.

@Milo-mw8we 3 года назад

I agree with you @edwin gerard, she is very sensitive with her approach. I may just add, with her it's all about serving the Art

@dwayneparker9844 9 лет назад

My goodness, Te Kanawa is simply breathtaking, even singing with the cracked noted ... her voice just simply has a deeper resonance. It's simply a gift. Her high notes are not just high, but they're deep and multi-dimensional. She is a treasure and I treasure every note she sings.

@Glowwriter 10 лет назад

My favorite soprano is such a lovely person, too! These student singers are amazing!

@Pachelbel_PaperDarts 9 лет назад

It must be pretty nerve-racking to sing Strauss' Morgen in front of Kiri Te Kanawa. She sets such a high standard for four last songs and all the orchestral songs by Strauss.

"I didn't say anything naughty... not yet!" She's adorable. What an amazing teacher and coach, and so very easy to convey what she needs for the students to understand. What a woman, and what great young singers!

@federicachiraable 9 лет назад

I only knew her as a fabulous singer, she is one of my favourite, and now I can appreciate her also as a teacher! What a kindness when she corrects the students to do better! Simply amazing, great Te Kanawa, for me THIS is the right way to teach! Thank you for having shared this video.

@users1992 8 лет назад

It's interesting at the end where she admitted that she only had one masterclass as a singer because of a harsh teacher. It's the age-old question, does a discouraging teacher help the student in the long run or does he/she destroy the student's confidence altogether?

Who is that wonderful bass (the second student)? Not only is his voice sublime, he's not too harsh on the eyes either! My God, I could listen to him and watch him for hours.

@ravinia 10 лет назад

We're glad you enjoyed the performance! The second performer is bass-baritone Damien Pass. Fortunately for you, RU-vid allows you to skip to his performance over and over again by clicking here: 23:21

@wotan10950 8 лет назад

Kiri is brilliant in so many ways. Lovely teacher. She wasn't always my favorite singer in each role, but I remember seeing her in Traviata - I closed my eyes and said to myself, you will never again hear such a heavenly sound.

@wolfgangk1 4 года назад

Thank you Kiri Te Kanawa for bringing attention to the fact that the Ave Maria is a prayer---I've heard it sung by many singers who have no idea of the mood monotone and spirit of the song.

@voicecoach4u 10 лет назад

@harmonyharps4663 9 лет назад

Dame Kiri is a most gracious teacher. What a privilege it must be for the students to attend her class. From the quality of the tenors' voices we have many years of wonderful operatic performances to attend.

@peace-now 9 лет назад

She really brings out the very best in the student. She extends above herself - is great! That is the essence of the masterclass.

that version of "morgen" though... no where near it, in fact. but so nice from kiri that she still accepted to coach the singer despite that they were obviously not making a lot of progress.

Unfortunately, a couple of them cannot sit in their space but I am sure it will come with more experience. Voices are technical but presence is what sells tickets.

@MrAndredekock 6 лет назад

I would LOVE to know whether the tenor, Michael Brandenburg, has been able to go on to a career on the international stage! He too really has a spiritual connection with his music and wonderful interpretation and I could only fault him on the glottal-stop he uses in breaking off his top notes that might in time do some damage. Otherwise this a beautifully rich baritone quality tenor voice, much like Mr Kauffman.

@Tkimba2 6 лет назад

It's "vedrò", not "vedrrrrò", Dame Kiri

@daleksupreme922 4 года назад

Did the students go out of their way to pick the most boring music possible? It takes a lot of analysis and phrasing to make simple melodies interesting and none of the students have the interest or maturity to do so.

@Tkimba2 6 лет назад

Perché i maestri non insegnano ai ragazzi a cantare invece di fare certe facce idiote?

@thomaslehmanbaritone 6 лет назад

We were not given this class to learn how to sing, nor act. Perhaps you could take a class in how to write kindly on the internet. Respectfully yours, a very happily, busily, and successfully working singer.

@acacia-bloom 10 лет назад

The first baritone is constantly flat - strange she didn't point that out.

@joshdaniels2363 8 лет назад

+Acacia Bloom He's also singing every single phrase essentially the same, he's singing through many of the rests ("vedro -- per man -- d'amore"), and he doesn't seem to be marrying the musical line with the text and what his character is saying and thinking. It feels very much as if he's on autopilot. Take a look at Joyce DiDonato working with Emmett O'Hanlon at Juilliard on this same piece. There's really a LOT more work to be done with it, besides keeping the pitch up (and the legato line flowing on the way down, which also doesn't seem to be going well).

@joshdaniels2363 29 дней назад

@@thomaslehmanbaritone I'm glad that, no doubt after substantial improvement over what was captured here, you found someone to pay you to do it, truly. But it doesn't say great things about the current state of your career (and still less about your personal temperament as an artist) that you have time to beef with 8-year-old critiques of a performance you gave while you were still learning. Maybe reflect on that a bit.
