The orchestra plays so sensitively and colourfully here (and they know it, notice their faint smiles), it's as if DiDonato's accompanying them, not the other way around! My ears are drawn, every time I listen to this performance, to the exquisite sounds of the orchestra.
The legato that comes out from her throat is so up high in the sky and yet beautifully effortless and seamless. I can't wait to hear her sing more Strauss' orchestral songs and lieder.
Haha, her tone is unsteady and the high pianos are stiff and not on the air flow. But todays audience is deaf, as are the people who have power in classical. Listen how her higher notes at the end are trembling and she sounds like a goat! HORRIBLE! Are you deaf? This is as bad singing as it gets, if she would have any honesty she would go ashamed from the stage.
Nella melodia e In quel vibrato ; cosi' dolce E trattenuto e' quello Svolazzare che si sente Mentre ci si avvicina Al momento di quella diastasi Opalescente. Tra in vedere e l'appalesarsi della sfumatura iniziale di un Colore celestiale. Francesco F.
Merci à vous Mr Elens pour l'avoir mis en ligne, une pure merveille, soit la voix que Mme Didonato, chantée plus profondément que par une soprano. Traüme, traüme, du mein sûsses Leben Von dem Himmel, der die Blumen bringt Blüten schimmern da, die leben Von dem Lied, das deine Mutter singt Traüme, traüme Knospe meiner Sorgen, Von dem Tage, da die Blume spross Von dem hellen Blütenmorgen Da dein Seelchen sich der Welt erschloss Traüme, traüme, Blüte meiner Liebe Von der stillen, von der heil'gen Nacht Da die Blume seiner Liebe Diese Welt, zum Himmel mir gemacht. (Rêve, rêve, ma douce vie Ces fleurs qui y brillent, elles vivent Du chant que chante ta mère Rêve, rêve, petit bouton de fleur, objet de mes soucis Du jour ou les fleurs sont écloses Du clair matin nimbé de floraison Ou ta petite âme s'est ouverte au monde . Rêve, rêve, fleur de mon amour De la silencieuse, de la sainte nuit Ou la fleur de son amour A pour moi transformé en paradis cette terre.)
I scratch my soul out imaging Lady Ludwig laugh loud about it... which language she sing it? The orchestra hold sound all the time. Where the exuberance of Strauss?
JDD is mistaken in thinking this (or any other Lied) is a mere vocalise. There are words in this after all. Also notice how Sir Simon how to turn down the volume to a whisper so she could be heard. It certainly worked as it nearly put me to sleep. Must be that JDD is in competition with one Schwanewilms for who can produce the lowest volume (at the expense of so much).
Strauss wrote this for piano first before orchestrating it. The opening instructions in the piano score are “ppp, una corda, sehr leicht und fluchtig”. The dynamics hardly change throughout, they go up to p, then back to ppp, there is a mf at the climax, and ends ppp. The orchestra is supposed to play that softly. That’s the effect he was going for.
I honestly don't get the hype. Her voice is a mess , the grotesque bleating vibrato, often out of tune, nasal and doesn't project, runs short of breath and her oft written about "artistry" is so calculated, pretentious and affected as to make Schwarzkopf blush.
Jede Mutter fühlt das mit, die zarte Musik und diese himmlische Stimme, herzergreifend, echt!

Just wonderful - what control Joyce shows all the way through. Excellent.
Quelle pureté ! la voix de Joyce Didonato est vraiment une merveille, elle égale Jessie Norman dans ce très beau Lied de R. Strauss.
Tudo lindo! E que voz!!!!

This is why she is one of the world's leading mezzos ! Sa voix est vraiment merveilleuse. Incroyable :)

La voz de Joyce se pone mejor con los años, que delicia escucharla..su voz e interpretación me transladan a otro espacio.
Nella melodia e
In quel vibrato ; cosi' dolce
E trattenuto e' quello
Svolazzare che si sente
Mentre ci si avvicina
Al momento di quella diastasi
Opalescente.
Tra in vedere e l'appalesarsi della sfumatura iniziale di un
Colore celestiale.

tout simplement:beau

Traüme, traüme, du mein sûsses Leben
Von dem Himmel, der die Blumen bringt
Blüten schimmern da, die leben
Von dem Lied, das deine Mutter singt
Traüme, traüme Knospe meiner Sorgen,
Von dem Tage, da die Blume spross
Von dem hellen Blütenmorgen
Da dein Seelchen sich der Welt erschloss
Traüme, traüme, Blüte meiner Liebe
Von der stillen, von der heil'gen Nacht
Da die Blume seiner Liebe
Diese Welt, zum Himmel mir gemacht.
(Rêve, rêve, ma douce vie
Ces fleurs qui y brillent, elles vivent
Du chant que chante ta mère
Rêve, rêve, petit bouton de fleur, objet de mes soucis
Du jour ou les fleurs sont écloses
Du clair matin nimbé de floraison
Ou ta petite âme s'est ouverte au monde .
Rêve, rêve, fleur de mon amour
De la silencieuse, de la sainte nuit
Ou la fleur de son amour
A pour moi transformé en paradis cette terre.)
Ho quelle merveille que votre réponse, merci, merci
Bravo ! A lovely touching approach! Wonderful !
Finally, been wanting to hear her sing German for ages! Hopefully she'll do some Schubert, Schumann, and Brahms soon too! Absolutely beautiful mezzo!
She used to do Octavian in Rosenkavalier.
Joyce looks more beautiful every year... And her voice is becoming just so perfect
Sávio Faschet I cannot agree more!
She’s one of my favorites!
Sublime as usual!
Beautiful!💐🇦🇺🦘
thank you for uploading this wonderful performance in HD
Gorgeous!!
Sono stupita ......
Grande
Absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately the ending chord was cut off.
Difícil superar esta exquicitez
wow!
Wunderschön...aber leider versteht man kaum ein Wort...
Es ist so voller liebe gesungen - so wunderschön - aber der Text ist nicht zu verstehen.
Schade dass die Heiligen Dreikönige aus diesem Konzert fehlen
Wunderbar gesungen, wie aus einem Traum...... leider versteht man kein Wort. Aber ok .... prima la musica......
❤
Which opera is this from
op 41 nr 1
It isn't an opera, it is "lied" - song
This one Strauss's earlier art songs aka. Lieder
Wiegenlied. Op. 41. No. 1. Richard Strauss
It's a great SONG ! GREAT rendition!
I scratch my soul out imaging Lady Ludwig laugh loud about it... which language she sing it? The orchestra hold sound all the time. Where the exuberance of Strauss?
As much as I love her, this song is not right for her fach.

people are deaf today and have no idea about good singing. sad.
Out of tune, goat vibrato, almost inaudible, affected and disingenuous performance.
