On March 11th, 2011, Japan suffered huge earthquake and tunami. More than 25,000 people was dead and about 2,500 people was still missing. In Fukishima, nuclear power plant was broken as you may know. Many musicians cancelled their visit to Japan because they were afraid of radioactive pollution. In such circumstances Dame Felicity Lott came to Japan just one month later after the earthquake. She sang “Morgen” as encore of her recital. I watched her recital by broadcasted video when I was so depressed because of the continuing aftershock. I could not stop shedding tears when I saw Dame Felicity singing “Morgen” , but still she gave courage to me and to all the Japanese people. And so this video is my eternal memoir. 2011年3月11日に日本は巨大な地震と、そして津波に襲われました。2万5千人以上の方々がなくなり、2500人あまりの方々が今なお行方不明です。福島ではご存知のとおり原子力発電所が破壊されました。多くの音楽家たちは、放射能汚染を怖れて日本への楽旅をキャンセルしました。こんな状況であるにもかかわらず、デイム・フェリシティ・ロットさんは、地震のわずか1か月後に日本を訪れてくれました。そしてリサイタルのアンコールとして「モルゲン(明日へ)」を歌ってくれたのです。余震が続いて気分が鬱々としていたからか、彼女のリサイタルをテレビで見ていて涙が止まりせんでしたが、それでも彼女が「モルゲン」を歌ってくれたの見て立ち直る勇気をもらえたように思いますし、それは(テレビを見ていた)すべての日本人に通じたと思います。ですから、この映像は私にとってかけがえのないものなのです。
Dame Felicity Lott sang Brahms German Requiem in Wexford in 1979. I was lucky enough to be in the the Wexford Festival Singers choir for the first time that year. I will never forget the performance she gave. it is indeed very heartening to hear her sing this wonderful song so well in 2011. Well spoken Andrew Johnson- and even better played! An inspiration.
Graham Johnson's spoken preface applies just as well to the current state of the world during the COVID-19 pandemic. He and Dame Felicity's heartfelt rendition had me in tears.
Dreary dreary 50’s style dress in depressing color. I think when doing a death benefit the performers should look bright. It is too sad but I get that this would had been televised etc . The voice thankfully was effectively place between throat and head tones never becoming preachy abs too covered…even if this song is usually a snoozebar. Dame Felicity uses her tones well and retains a girlish quality where needed. Beautifully done.

なんて美しい演奏と心でしょうか。あの大地震の直後に来日されてこの声を届けてくださった。１２年たったいま聴いていても涙が出ます。
So emotional. She says everything with her singing and her facial expression. And that song is a true masterpiece. Just wonderful.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
心を打たれる名演でした。
Das wohl sublimste aller Liebeslieder, die deutschen Worte von Ms Lotts reifer Stimme leuchtend getragen - ein Genuß.

This is not a patch on Gerald Moore and Janet Baker playing this song.
Comparisons are odious.
@@jasonhurd4379 why do you say that?
@@philipboucherat113 - if you need to be told, you wouldn't understand.
Impossible to compare, of course. But it's not reason to stop singing this song.
