The Song Continues Master Class: Rachmaninoff's "How Fair This Spot," Op. 21, No. 7 

Excellent advice. The corrections make the song.

Замечательно!!!🌹👌

The Spirit speaks to all It's message quirt and calm is heard A song of Love's sweet clarion call The psalm of God's true word A voice of peace Where sin is rife The darkest night to cease Brings hope when all around is strife "Come all... Eternal life" Last line is title. English words Peter Stokes February 2018

Чудесный романс ,, Здесь хорошо,, посвящение ,, N,, композитор Сергей Васильевич Рахманинов на стихотворение его современницы Глафиры Николаевны Мамошиной(псевдоним Галина Галина)! Мне импонирует исполнение романса ,, Здесь хорошо,, оперной певицей Антониной Васильевной Неждановой(лирико-колоратурное сопрано)! Брависсимо!!! Светлая память! С уважением, Валерий Романов. P.S. Что касается мастер-класса? Хороший, с большим вокальным опытом профессионал-для студента либо начинающего свою концертную деятельность певца/певицы-блАго! Принцип ,, простой,,-не навреди! Прекрасно когда вокалист ,, находит,, своего педагога по вокалу!

Very subtle and precise interpretation. Listening to the piece I could hear every word very well and distinctly. The singer pronounced Russian words almost without any accent. Great!

Greetings. Thanks for the video. I'm a Russian musician. May I comment a little on your attempt to interpret Sergei Vasilyevich Rachmaninoff. A bit belated, but still)))). Behind the performance, one can sense little awareness of what composer's music this duo is performing. The pianist and the singer have not listened to other works by Sergei Vasilyevich Rachmaninoff and it can be heard))). I can absolutely say that this romance was not written to demonstrate the top note! The whole piece is at a distance from understanding what it is about!!! It's not about pronunciation. It's missing the most important thing - understanding!

I’m not sure who’ll be reading this, but anyway: The Russian pronunciation overall isn’t perfect, but there’s no quick fix for that. I don’t think it’s a good idea to pick out one "incorrect" word, moreover risking she’ll sing "aknyom" in future, where it’s really "agnyom". He may be overemphasizing the letter for clarity, but if given a choice between "aknyom" and "anyom", I’d prefer the latter.

Honestly doing a masterclass is very hard to do when someone is watching

It’s a wrong tempo .

the second time it turned out too fussy for the words "there are no people here, there is silence, there is only God and me ..."

Ha-ha for the audience, nothing about the song itself…

🎵💜💜💜!!!

Piano feels a little bit rushed because of the "pay it back" thing. But maybe that's just my preference. Absolutely stunning rendition though.

Молодец, певица! Дважды спела отлично!

Rather sagging rendition.....🎉hear Koshetz...Tourel...Gedda !😮
