Danke, dass Sie schöne Musik in mein Leben. Vielen Dank für die Beleuchtung des Tunnels mit schönen Sonnenschein. Ich bin privilegiert, zu hören und durch die schöne Musik, die Sie spielen berührt werden. Vielen Dank für dein Talent mit der Welt! :)
Kalman is one of my real favorites. I was fortunate enough to attend a performance of his opera "The Arizona Lady" in 2016. You play beautifully, as usual.
Brian McGinty: I was startled by that...I saw the little cleverly done promo, done to look like the era of the flickers. As a lyricist, and more reluctant librettist(remember Wright & Forrest, using Borodin for "Kismet" and Grieg for "Song of Norway" among other adaptations that THEY did) I have a lot of projects. For an operetta or a musical, the ideal situation is like the three men who did Fiddler On the Roof, book, lyrics, and music...all knew the culture, and all did what they were best at. You probably have heard the 61 tracks of the Bonynge version of Kálmán's Die Herzogin von Chicago...much richer musically than the current record setter(Chicago) on Broadway. There was the operetta about Hawaii, as well, but I know very little about that one. Anyway, out of my six or seven musicodramas that have plenty of lyrics and minimal dialogue, my "Fisheretta" starts out in Arizona circa 1910, the northwest corner, and then the bulk of it is in a early fish camp in the Eastern Sierra, of which I used the oldest one, the Silver Lake Resort, as a model. That is located in the June Lake Loop, a little north of Mammoth, the huge ski resort area. That resort began in 1916, and aligns so well with my plot...I wanted to be able to do a performance there, at least a partial one, to commemorate their Centennial...but it did not happen. The operetta comprises of one opening Carl Zeller song "Lass dir Zeit", of which on you tube you can hear the great Hermann Prey singing it. The rest of the music is by Ziehrer and my connecting passages, recitavos, several original songs, and the finale with pieces of earlier songs of course, and the libretto. It is a lot of work for a probable minimal return, if anything...but nobody does that sort of thing for money, that's for sure...which is why I was stunned that one or maybe two men recently did an ENTIRE Kálmán operetta!!! NICE POST, and good luck to you sir!
ok, waldteufel, you just shattered my preconception of what a pianist should look like--we got a big strong truck driver/bouncer looking guy here and he's playing the ivories as good as any aesthetic! wunderbar!
windstorm1000 I Think you should add that the delicacy of touch is phenomenal in waldteufel Thank you Waldteufel for bringing this joy to us and thank you Yiu Tuve
Thank you for your performance of this lovely melody. I’ve seen Czárdásfürstin more frequently than any other operetta at the Volksoper (I’ve seen many there more than once each) and am a Kálmán-fan. Btw, ignore the charming Japanese lady - you’re great as you are; and gloriously incongruous vis à vis the music you love.
Beautiful. It is a joy to hear a young person compose as well as to play. In my area, small USA town, there are no young people interested in music. This is so sad. However, it seems Europeans are interested in music and excel at it. So glad. Thank you for your talent.
Edith Smith: I'm from a small town, and I've written 250 sets of lyrics to C.M. Ziehrer works, and several dozen each to Kálmán, Léhar, and Stolz,among the over 1,000 total songs in what will eventually be the New Great American Songbook. This is partly being done to return the lost heritage of European music, which was stripped away as the result of two awful World Wars. Americans have at least heard of Johann StraussII, and its partly due to his dying in 1899, well before the wars. But his worthiest heir, Carl Michael Ziehrer, lost everything in the aftermath of WWI...and Ziehrer wrote more beautiful waltzes than any of the individual four Strausses, and he influenced his younger friend to continue on...that friend was a man named Franz Léhar, who lived to 1948 and due to the phenomenal popularity of the Merry Widow operetta(Die Lustige Witwe is the German name) and his being a conductor who recorded his music with a number of great singers, including his very close friend Richard Tauber, he is therefore still well remembered. I enjoyed reading your post. I know this is a long response but I want you to get an idea just how important these few young musicians are who are trying to preserve this PRECIOUS music! Have a most illuminating upcoming week!
When we dance we find the stars brightly shining, love, With our dreams which we will share in each others arms, For this day our fairytale brings heaven up above, Aphrodite, Eros and Amor...with his charms. (first and last stanzas of the Stasi and Edwin aria in Die Czàrdàsfürstin...I have the complete aria in English, along with many more Kálmán pieces, Ziehrer, Lehár, and Stolz, among other composers.)
One more advice! As for a mustache, the shaved direction looks youthfully. Handsomeness nice guy! The male player who looks young is liked in a Japanese woman.
Fantastisch Andy, wie immer! Ich habe Csardasfürstin sehr oft gesungen,weil ich auch im Musiktheater gearbeitet habe :) Ich wünsche Dir weiterhin viel Erfolg! Liebe Grüße!
Thank you! Don't you come to Facebook by all means, either? I am doing activity which spreads a Vienna style classic ball in Japan. Pen name KATO HATSUA Please search.
