Silent Noon | Aksel Rykkvin (18 yo baritone) & Natallia Papova 

Aksel!! Your voice has settled beautifully. It flows crystal and clear like a river. You are truly a gift to see and hear. Thank you for continuing to bless us with your talent.

I loved your angelic soprano voice when you were a small boy. I was worried :What will happen with your voice when you are older? . But it is still so smooth and beautiful. God has given you such a beautiful gift :A heavenly voice.

Great perfomance! Your really blessed. I'd love to hear the "Erlkönig" from you one day!

I show your videos to my boys choir classes every year. Your fairly fast change from Soprano to Baritone has inspired some of my students to continue singing in head voice as much as possible while their voices change. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I am always eager to hear how your fine voice continues to grow and mature. Bravo!!

So nice to see a boy soprano who has grown into his adult voice. Many boy sopranos' careers are over once their voice changes. Your artistry is still there, as is your love of music; I see a wonderful career ahead for you.

You’ve made the transition so beautifully. What a glorious voice you have! ❤️ You have evidently worked very hard and well , and maturity has brought a deepening of your emotional expression. Bravo! 👏🏼👏🏼

Deeply impressive. You have an obvious emotional affinity with Britten, and Vaughan Williams. Meticulously sung, in perfect English, with intense musicality. Who could ask for more! .

Dear Aksel, Greetings from Dublin, Ireland! I always look forward to your videos, and 'Silent Noon' is a very welcome treat! Your voice is simply beautiful, with exemplary power, clarity and diction. Your versatility is amazing, and will be a major benefit as your career develops. I do hope to be able to hear you sing in person one day! Wishing you every blessing for the future. Mange takk!

Really beautiful! ❤ My mom really liked your voice before she passed away from this world. So it is one of the most beautiful memories I have of her. Courage and never get discouraged I will be following your path very closely, I trust that as long as you follow your logic and after that to your heart you will have much success either in music or in whatever you wish! Yours sincerely Lan Su.

Strong and yet delicate! Great control!

It's only been a few years since I got to know you. But this soft waterfall-like voice is so amazing that words can't describe it. From korea 🇰🇷🇰🇷

You are as delightful to listen to today as a baritone as you were several years ago as a soprano. I have enjoyed watching you grow physically and especially listening to the smooth vocal changes in the last six years. I am always impressed by your sensitivity to each aria and song you sing. May God continue to bless you and your beautiful voice for many years to come.

The words paint a picture, you make it come alive in fresh, deep colours with the finest of brushes: your voice.

What a treat to come back to listen after a few years & see that your baritone is as beautiful as your treble voice!

02:45 - 02:55 Yes, yes, yes. You’ve so obviously continued to work incredibly hard and the results are a delight to listen to.

You were, and still are my idol as s boy soprano. Now I am delighted to follow your growth into a powerful , rich and dramatic baritone. Bravo!!!

Such a great voice. I have loved watching you over the years.

The song and the silence, and all the subtlety in between, are so fully present in your rendition. Thank you, Aksel, for sharing your amazing talent.

What a gorgeous voice and a beautiful soul May G-D keep you forever pure and strong and may you have a happy life and find a good wife and have many beautiful happy children together And may you forever bless the world with your voice and singing His holy praises

maravilhoso 👏👏👏👏👏 AKSEL RYKKVIN 🙌👍💯💟 que voz!! lindaaaa canção

Bravo Aksel! Es ist meine grosse Freude, dich als talentierte Junge Saenger weiter entwickeln zu sehen!! Tolle Stimme, so musikalisch!!

اذكر حين كنت صغير بعام 2016والان قد كبرت واصبحت جميل وصوتگ دافئ واجمل مماكنت عليه بصغرگ اتمنا لگ حيات سعيده‍ ❤❤🇸🇦

Wow ! It takes an impeccable technique to make it sound so natural and effortless - and a huge amount of work. Thank you. And 2022 is Vaughan-Williams' 150th Anniversary.

Aksel, you had a wonderful soprano voice. Now you have an amazing baritone voice. I wish you to work it and to lead a brilliant musical career.

This is absolutely beautiful! Well done! Your deep voice is so calming to listen to and portrays so much emotion. You have such a beautiful gift. God bless you!

Beautiful beautiful beautiful! Please sing again for us!!!!!!!!!

Aksel you are born to be a singer.Very good and I wish you a suksesfull live with a lot off singing.

Thank you Askel for a new video. As beautiful as ever and another to keep coming back to.

I just love your voice my dear Aksel, it's a real great pleasure to see you and listen to your music. Thanks for sharing ❤

oh my goodness this song takes me back to when my first voice teacher wonderfully done!

Straordinario, Aksel! La tua voce sa essere potente e, allo stesso tempo, calda e dolce, oltre che incredibilmente chiara e limpida nel timbro! Sei unico e BRAVISSIMO!

Amazing voice Aksel Rykkvin!!! You have a beautiful talent!!!🙌❤️

Desde México saludo a este jóven tan talentoso, he seguido su trayectoria y siempre me asombra que se supo adaptar a su cambio de voz magistralmente

Such beautiful singing, an artist. Brought tears.

So nice to hear from you again Aksel,so happy to hear that your voice is further developing and is calming and setteling down.Keep up the good work,so proud of you💝💝💝

Wonderful as always. I love listening to you then, and I love listening to you now. Lots of love.

Finally got to listen on headphones on RU-vid, which is less compressed than Facebook. You have a beautiful voice, rich and pure, which I first heard in its full glory at Stolberg, and it is lovely to see and hear such progress since then. The lyrics as sung lose their slightly cloying and over-romantic feel of the original poem, I really do believe that sung poetry (when accompanied by such glorious music) hits me much more emotionally. The beauty of an English summer countryside where the lovers court is so well described that I feel I'm there. If I have any observation you just look a little serious for a lover with his love, as though she's forgotten the midge repellent! However, what is wonderful is that you have so much to build on and develop in your musical education and journey, and your singing brought me in and moved me greatly. Thank you for all you share Aksel! (and thanks to Natalia and the videographer (I'm assuming it's your Dad - doing such a good job still!)).

Lovely !! Thank you, Aksel... and Natallia.

Aksel my boy, why so quiet on RU-vid??? I'm missing your brilliant and talented young voice ??!! Hope to hear you soon again please.... Keep on with your talented and God given voice please!🙏🏻🙏🏻 God bless and be safe. You are very special... Blessed greetings from South Africa. 🌻🙏🏻🙌

Fantastic Aksel !

Mi querido y admirado Aksel te sigo los pasos desde que eras un pequeño que nos dejabas sin aliento con tu limpia voz de soprano; hoy con sólo 18 años, ya casi un hombre, tu voz ha madurado increíblemente. Sin dudas, cómo ya te he dicho antes, los teatros del mundo se rendirán a tus pies. Espero con ansiedad tu debut en la gran ópera. Recibe un respetuoso saludo , de parte de un admirador desde Argentina.

Formidável, como sempre. Belíssimo timbre de voz.

Absolutely stunning performance, Aksel, so good to hear you again!💕🎹🎵

So warm and comfortable. Thank you 👏👏👏

A joy to see you and hear your beautiful voice, Aksel, and thank you for sharing.

Boy how time flies! Aksel I use to listen to you sing as a treble soprano. Looking forward to seeing what avenues in the professional world you shall take.

Bravo !!! 👏👏 Well done Aksel, you're a Gifted boy and young man with a very magnificent voice!! Your musicality are brilliant!! As a boy soprano/treble and now a Baritone, maybe one day a tenor going for the high "C's" like Pavarotti....!!?? Treasure your voice and keep on , please !!🙏🏻🙏🏻 I'm following you all the way from South Africa.... God bless you young man. 👏👏🙏🏻🙌

You bring beauty into daylight. So glad to see and listen to you again.

Wow! I love this voice and only a teenager.

Lovely, Aksel. Your legato has become more evident.

What a beautiful voice!!! Pure and cristal.

Lieber aksel,es ist so großartig wie du die Musik lebst und was du für eine Haltung hast. schon als kleiner sängerknabe war dies dominant.ich wünsche dir weiter alles gute und gottes Segen, herzlichst. Ruth

Never close the door to potentially be trained as tenor, only time will tell this things. Bravo!!!!!!!

Aksel voz perfect incrible Fantastic very beatiful 🎶🎤 👏👏 👏👏

Still a very beautiful vocalist. Bravo!

Да, голос становится крепче! С прекрасным звуком! Дальнейших успехов Вам, Аксель!

Beautiful… a favourite song sang so well. x

Askel You Look Like An Angel!!! So strong voice and wonderful beauty! Pretty!!!

Beautiful.. such clean and clear with good diction... 👍..lovely

Beautiful, Aksel thankyou

Wunderbar! Ich dachte bei Ralph Vaughn Williams an die Songs of Travel. Das ist wunderschöne Musik für Bariton, das paßt wunderbar zu deiner Stimme und deine -stimme passt zu diesen Liedern, Ich denke gerade an Konstantin Krimmel und Bryn Terfel, bei euch dreien klingt das, als hätte Williams das für euch geschrieben.

Such beauty from such a gifted singer!

Aksel your baritone voice is beautiful. BUT I have to say this, your soprano voice as a little boy was one of the best I have ever heard. It’s very clear that young boys sing the best.

Love your new voice! Post more! Post more!

Dear Aksel. So nice to hear you sing again with your new voice. It is just wonderful . Maybe you don't remember me. I am Teresa and my father's name was Mozart....he passed away 4 years ago...and I started listening to you when he got ill..Your voice always brought me peace and faith . Thank you so much for comforting me on those sad moments .

One of my favourite songs, and you have brought new depth of meaning to the words. Such a moving performance. Thank you

Finalmente ti rivediamo e ti ascoltiamo con grande piacere: bravissimo, caro Aksel, sei fantastico, grazie!

지친 영혼까지 힐링해주는 악셀 릭빈의 목소리. 언제 들어도 최고십니다.^^

Bellissimo colore baritonale... bravo!

Oh my God I love your voice it is very beautiful! I’m 19 and I wish I could sing opera I only play piano.

Så fint din röst utvecklas Aksel. Det har varit spännande att följa din utveckling och nu känns det som du ”landat” i din baryton. Den klingar vackert och det är ju det viktigaste. Fortsätt att sjunga mycket lyrisk repertoar innan du börjar blanda in de mer ”dramatiska” sångerna. Grattis till fin utveckling! 👏

Aksel, vous m'avez fait aimer la tessiture des baritons. J'aime ce timbre naturel et puissant ; vous apportez en plus de la chaleur et beaucoup d'humanité.

Wonderful. Love from South Africa.

Sehr schöner, weicher Bariton! Mit großer Zukunft!

Beautiful video as a your voice matures to older voice.

Que voz linda! Cada vez você canta melhor.Fechamos os olhos e viajamos pelo infinito. Parabéns. SÃO PAULO - BRASIL.

Wow, nice to see your performance again. It is always a pleasure to listen to your singing. Hope you are doing well.

AKSEL ☮️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

So many trebles fail to make the transition well, but you did it successfully with skill and grace. Beautiful.

Acompanho o senhor desde 2018, tem sido sensacional acompanhar suas performances até hoje! Espero algum dia poder te assistir ao vivo... Salve daqui do Brasil!

Only angels sing like that.

As beautiful and expresive as ever Sir! Your treble album still lifts me on dark days. I look forward to a baritone one soon!

Keep improving all the time, Aksel! May God bless you.

Oh, the growth! The goosebumps are reappearing all over when you achieve the high notes again - the artistry was was there after your voice dropped, but the control has made waiting for your high notes so exciting!

Wonderful song. Well sung. 👍👑👍

Wooow, magnífica técnica vocal 🥺 !!!! Mereces más reconocimiento por tu gran esfuerzo, dedicación y talento ✨. Saludos desde Morelia Michoacán México 🥰.

Ciao Aksel, hoping to hear your beautiful voice soon and see you again in an upcoming video, I send you my best wishes for your 19th birthday. Con grande simpatia e tanta ammirazione.

Nicely done, Akksel! It is such a privilege and pleasure to watch (and hear) your talent blossom as your skill is honed. Post more often! It’s hard to wait for the next performance. You’re 18 now, let us know what’s next for you.

Seu vibrato vocal e sua respiração são desde que você era criança,eu amo musica em geral principalmente musicas clássicas desde criança,enfim sua voz ficou mais emotiva atualmente amo assim,me lembra meu cantor favorito Elvis Presley 🎶😍😊

From someone who speaks English as their first language, I don't know why the English subtitles are included.😉 Your diction is flawless no matter what language you're speaking in! Amazing and inspiring as always! Thank you!

Aksel you are amazing talented .

Amazing 🙌🏼

Toujours cette voix extraordinaire continuez à nous enchanter 👏
