so hilfst du mir es selber tragen.

Come, sweet cross, I want to say,
my Jesus, always give it to me.

JS Bach: Mache dich, mein Herze, rein (Matthäus-Passion) Sells/Gardiner
Переглядів 1,1 тис.5 років тому
Recorded live at the Palais des Beaux Arts, Brussels, on 23rd March 2016, the day after the terrorist attacks there. This was the only public performance permitted in the city that day, and was sold out, despite many tickets initially having been returned. It became a public and collective ritual of mourning and hope, under tense circumstances as two of the suspects were still at large. An unfo...
Claudio Monteverdi: L'Orfeo. 'Possente spirto' (Orfeo)
Переглядів 8 тис.12 років тому
Orfeo summons up all his creative genius and sings a five-verse aria accompanied by various instruments ('Possente spirto'), first claiming that, since Euricide is his heart and is dead, he cannot be alive, and by implication should be allowed in the boat. Also, how can a place where such a beauty resides really be hell? It is rather paradise. None of his clever ideas or musical seductions work...
Claudio Monteverdi: L'Orfeo. 'Tu se' morta' (Orfeo)
Переглядів 34 тис.12 років тому
Orfeo has just heard the news that Euridice has been bitten by a poisonous snake and is dead. He asks how it is possible that his 'life' is dead and gone, and yet he still lives and remains on the earth; he cannot accept this, and resolves to follow her to the underworld and use all his powers of music and poetry to persuade Plutone to let him bring her back to earth. Failing that, he will rema...

Claudio Monteverdi: L'Orfeo. 'Rosa del ciel' (Orfeo)
Переглядів 6 тис.12 років тому
Orfeo serenades Euridice, first asking the sun if he has ever seen a happier or luckier lover. He blesses the moment he first met his beloved, the time they first sighed together in love, and, of course, the point at which she promised herself to him. Finally, he sings, "if I had as many hearts as heaven has eyes or these hills have leaves in May, they would all be full to bursting with the joy...

    Hello Jonathan, I am studying this whole song cycle and I love your performance with it! Congratulations for getting to perform it with a symphony orchestra. I am a baritone, too, and I admire how easily you shape your high F#'s, G's, and the G# at the end. Are you using head voice for them? Any tips for those high areas? Thank you!

      +Drworm89 Hi there, thanks for your interest. It's not head voice, but rather a kind of 'voix mixte' - you need lots of air support under it and reduce the sound to the thin edge of the folds. It takes quite a few years of practice to get it to work properly though! These are tough songs, but a great technical workout/challenge, as well as wonderful music. Good luck with your singing!

    I am content with all others except for the fact that the people in white standing behind Orfeo are very, very distracting. They have too much light shone on them, and the lighting is harsh, which attracts people's attention to the harsh shadows cast behind them.

    Although I prefer the orchestrated version, I must say that this was the best performance of the piano version I could ever imagine. Your voice is incredibly well suited for that dry, almost objective piano sound. You both are really telling a story there. A pity this doesn't get more attention though ...
