Regula Mühlemann: Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion - G. F. Handel (The Messiah) 

Good luck waiting XD

Writing as an Englishman, I entirely agree with your second sentence.

Writing as myself, I agree with your first sentence.

If you don't mind: I, as a German, agree with both sentences.

It is their profession. If the audience can't understand what the person is singing, then it is pointless to go on the stage. The melody line isn't only the vowels but the consonants have to be heard as well for it to make sense. One well known piece called, Una furtiva lagrima, would sound like: u-a-u-i-a-a-i-a if the consonants were taken away.

Then we can jump to the germanic languages where there are couple of other ones: Ä, Ö and U with two dots.

Speaking as another Brit, I entirely agree!

Except she mispronounced "Zion".

@@EC2019 She is a German singer, and the Z in German has a very specific sound... this of how the z in the word Mozart sounds... I would forgive her this! anyhow she is a beautiful singer.

So lovely so talented so unfair. P c

Hallo Thomas, Antwort zu Satz 1: NEIN! - zu Satz 2: Absolute Zustimmung meinerseits, zu Satz 3: Auch ich neige mein Haupt ehrfürchtig vor Regula, vor ihrer göttlichen Stimme, ihrer natürlichen Ausstrahlung, ihrem Charme. (Den hat man oder auch nicht. Erlernen lassen sich weder Charme noch natürliche Ausstrahlung. Beides ist angeboren.) Wir können uns glücklich schätzen, sie zu erleben. So betrachtet leben wir in der richtigen Zeit. Heute fand ich eine Aufnahme, die noch nicht alt ist, und zu der auch bisher niemand einen Kommentar schrieb. Als ich die Aufnahme hörte, da sagte ich mir nur: Das ist nicht unsere Regula. Mehr möchte ich dazu in diesem Forum nicht äußern. Besten Gruß, Eckard

@@eckardkruger6650 Hallo eckardkruger. Danke für deine lieben Kommentare. Ich war die letzten 9 Wochen in 3 Konzerten von Regula. Das war das beste und schönste, was ich je gehört und gesehen habe. Ich habe jetzt mehrere Konzertveranstalter angeschrieben, Regula auch mal nach Stuttgart einzuladen.

@@Thomas-gn9bv Du Glücklicher. - Ich hoffe und wünsche Dir von ganzem Herzen, dass Deinem Wunsch entsprochen wird, und Du erneut in den Genuss dieser herausragenden Stimme kommst. Toi³. Eckard

Beethoven was also known for his acerbic humor.

Agreed. She’s perfection packed in

Hi om, I mean, Regula has the clearest voice ever. And indeed, she is a really beautiful woman; But that's always subjective. And that's how it should always be. Greetings Eckard

@@eckardkruger6650 hello Eckard! Thanks for texting. We all have our notion of beauty, but I think most people would agree that she’s radiant! All the best my friend. Richard.

@@richardforshaw8479 Radiant, that's the right word. Her charisma and charm are so natural, you can't learn such. Both of us are no longer the youngest, but we are lucky enough to live at a time when we enjoy wonderful, divine voices. And one of these voices gives us Regula. We can only be grateful for this. I wrote 'Hi om' beforehand. Well, I was still a guest in another world because I spoke to a former hobby friend. We were both radio amateurs, and they call themselves 'old man' in short: 'om'. - A woman is an 'ol', an 'old lady', which has nothing to do with the age of the lady. An unmarried woman is a 'yl', young lady. If this lady is now married, then she becomes an 'xyl'. Understood? These and hundreds of other abbreviations come from the time when there were only telegraphy and no telephony. I preferred telegraphy and the Morse alphabet. At the time I had contacts around the globe. It was an interesting and good time. - Long, long ago, oh, long ago. Until soon, Eckard

@@eckardkruger6650 now you can start a new language- I will call my son in law a vlp( very lazy person) and he won’t know that I’m criticising him!! 😊

@@richardforshaw8479 Then I would also like to call your daughter a 'VLP', but in this case it means 'l' = 'lovely'. I am a 'VCP', a 'very curious person'. I'm just interested in too many topics. And the world is full of topics from A to Z. - Poor me. Have a nice day old boy. Eckard

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, Lili. Hope we will hear you too. Greetings, Eckard

@@eckardkruger6650 Thank you for your encouragement.

Nun, Mike, die Engel mögen im Himmel wohnen, hier aber schweigen sie ehrfürchtig und lauschen mit Begeisterung andächtig der Stimme einer Göttin. Hast Du von Regula das 'Exsultate Jubilate' gehört. Falls noch nicht, so zögere nicht. Es klingt einmalig schön.

Beg to differ. She has built a niche where not many shine as brightly as her. Love that she sings those highly difficult coloratur repertoire of baroque pieces and Mozart. There's already plenty others doing the big (same old) Arias. I'm sure shes brilliant at those too, but Regula is making a name for herself, bringing 'second rank' (highly demanding) Soprano repertoire from the old era back to life with such simplicity and ease (seemingly). I love her for that

Love the baroque pieces so difficult she is so talented !

Advent concerts are held in the pre-Christmas period and around Christmas. They are very festive and put people in the mood for Christmas. Advent is also the time of year when Christians prepare for the feast of the birth of Jesus Christ, Christmas.
