Lehár: Vilja Song from The Merry Widow Operetta (Gorgeous Ernestina Jošt soprano)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- The Merry Widow (German: Die lustige Witwe) is an operetta by the Austro-Hungarian composer Franz Lehár. The librettists, Viktor Léon and Leo Stein, based the story - concerning a rich widow, and her countrymen's attempt to keep her money in the principality by finding her the right husband - on an 1861 comedy play, L'attaché d'ambassade (The Embassy Attaché) by Henri Meilhac.
The operetta has enjoyed extraordinary international success since its 1905 premiere in Vienna and continues to be frequently revived and recorded. Film and other adaptations have also been made. Well-known music from the score includes the "Vilja Song", "Da geh' ich zu Maxim" ("You'll Find Me at Maxim's"), and the "Merry Widow Waltz".
Solo sopran: Ernestina Jošt
piano: Ivan Pernicki
This was Ernestina final concert for Ljubljana Academy of Music, where she graduated. She got suma cum laude grades for her singing. I hope you will enjoy this emotional performance.
You will hear accompanied voices in the distance. Members of Carmen Manet Choir came to support Ernestina final concert for Ljubljana Academy of Music.

Lyrics:
Once lived a Vilja, a maid of the woods,
And hunter spotted her in rocky outcroppings!
The young boy, who was
Affected curiously by her presence,
He looked and looked
at the wood-maiden.
And a shudder the boy had never known
Took hold of him,
Longingly he began quietly to sigh!
Vilja, oh Vilja, you maid of the woods,
Take me and let me
be your dearest true love!
Vilja, O Vilja what are you doing to me?
Begs a lovesick man!
The maid of the woods stretched
her hand to him
And pulled him into her rocky home.
The boy nearly lost all his sense
And so she loved him and kissed him as no earthly child.
When she kissed him to his content
She disappeared in an instant!
The hunter waved goodbye only once before she vanished:
Vilja, oh Vilja, you maid of the woods,
Take me and let me
be your dearest true love!
Vilja, O Vilja what are you doing to me?
Begs a lovesick man!
Oh my! What a beautiful performance in all aspects. Beautiful voice, beautiful emotions, and beautiful face. Miss. Jošt is a treasure. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
Ernestina, I love her so much!
Nagyon szép! 💜
My heart missed a couple of beats. BEAUTIFUL. I will follow her.
That voice always gives me goosebumps
Absolutely lovely!
Hermosa interpretación, la música lírica siempre será una joya para el alma!!
Aquí parecía una mariposa sobrevolando las flores que adoraban al escenario...felicitaciones para los intérpretes y la dirección del mismo!!!
Damn she really is a star!
That voice is magical! Just remember your soul and never lose your heart!
Wow!!!! What a fantastic voice, I love that song and you sung it perfectly, thank you xx
Beautiful thank you 👌🎵👌
I've just discovered this lady. This clip has motivated me to follow her career up. Beautiful rendition of often sung song.
You have some "catching-up" to do, then, going back to when she began as a member of the Gimnazija Kranj Symphony Orchestra and Choruses when she was about 15 or 16, under tutelage of Primož Zevnik, who produced all of that orchestra's videos, as well as this one. You will see the beginnings of her career as a soloist with that chorus and, later, with the "Carmen manet" women's choir, who accompany her here. And I guarantee that you will love all of it. Welcome to Ernestina's "fan club".
@@conradinhawaii7856 Thank you for your message. Much appreciated.
@tog hoath Dear friend. Surprise, surprise, surprise. Actually, I recorded her at Gimnazija Kranj Spring Concert in 2010. She was a preadolescent girl. It was the first time when she sang for my production. You can see her around 1:13. She has a solo. The concert was dedicated to family Avsenik and J. Strauss. We performed this concert in our school. The chorus master is Janja, her mother ;) Just a candy for all her fans! link: ua-cam.com/video/nwq4lzmN_lc/v-deo.html
Primož... this is absolutely superb! It takes away my breath. I can only imagine how very proud you must feel at all that Ernestina has accomplished since you launched her career. And I can only imagine the beautiful direction that her career will go now. And I think it was absolutely wonderful that her friends in the Carmen manet choir accompanied her here. I know that you must be very proud of them as well.
And I noticed many familiar names on your production staff, including Jakob, now your assistant.
I hope you are well, and I know you are very busy with these new projects. You make all of our lives brighter with each new video you produce. Thank you. And I will be busy this morning sending this lovely performance to all of my friends around the planet of whom I have sent many of your previous videos of the orchestra and choruses in past years.
Aloha nui... Conrad 🌴🌴🌷☺
Excellent voice! Bravo!
Émouvante et étincelante comme toujours.
Lovely!
Thanks to the internet and Zevnikov it is possible to prevent Vilja, in person of Ernestina, from disappearing. Hope to be able to see and hear her live, once these dire times are over.
Lovely😊👏😊👏
