What an amazing artist Barbara Hannigan is!Pure music in every gesture, and in her voice!What breathtaking music!
She's unbelievable. Unique. Amazing.
Barbara is such a boss. Inspiration to me!
I adore this woman!
No word from Tom
Has love no voice, can love not keep
A Maytime vow in cities?
Fades it as the rose
Cut for a rich display?
Forgot! But no, to weep is not enough
He needs my help
Love hears, Love knows
Love answers him across the silent miles, and goes
Quietly, night
O find him and caress
And may thou quiet find
His heart, although it be unkind
Nor may its beat confess
Although I weep, although I weep, although I weep
It knows, it knows of loneliness
Guide me, O moon
Chastely when I depart
And warmly be the same
He watches without grief or shame
It cannot, cannot be thou art
A colder moon, a colder moon upon a colder heart
My father! Can I desert him
And his devotion for a love who has deserted me?
No, my father has strength of purpose
While Tom is weak and needs the comfort of a helping hand
O God, protect dear Tom, support my father, and strengthen my resolve
I go, I go to him
Love cannot falter
Cannot desert
Though it be shunned
Or be forgotten
Though it be hurt
If Love be love
It will not alter
Though it be shunned
Or be forgotten
Though it be hurt
If love be love
It will not alter
If love be love
If love be love
It will not alter
It will not alter
It will not alter
O should I see
My love in need
It shall not matter
It shall not matter
What he may be
I go, I go to him
Love cannot falter
Cannot desert
Cannot falter
Cannot desert
Cannot desert
Time cannot alter
Cannot, cannot, cannot alter
A loving heart
An ever loving heart
What an absolute goddess. An utterly limitless talent with incredible imagination and vision. She is a gift to the world.
😊😊😊
Astounding! Doing two jobs at once! The closest thing to a real Disney princess, music responding to her cues! Excellent!
Vous êtes merveilleuse - merci pour vos talents 🙏
Hannigan, uma artista extraordinária!!!!
A beautiful piece I'd not heard before
Well... this is a first... at least for me... BEAUTIFUL conducting... and THE PERFECTED voice for this tune! I LOVE Jane West's performance of this epic aria...!
Mind blowing!!!!!
Extraordinary!
Amazing artist.
Fabulous!
Genius !
Maravilloso, emocionante y maravilloso.
canta e dirige con le spalle. Fantastico 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Meraviglia!
okay... I've played a piano concerto while conducting from the bench... BUT this ... truly looks TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE... (once in a great while she looses a TINY little bit of breath control because of the conducting... BUT very little...and very seldom... AMAZING...!!! ) So...??? who's going to tell the soprano to WATCH the conductor...??? funny
This indeed is a monument to a woman’s multifunctional mind 🌺
LOL. Yes, there are not many conductors who can lead an orchestra with their backs to the members of the orchstra (eye contact? not necessary). A woman's multifunctional mind, indeed. :)
Maravilloso!
Au contraire de toutes ces horreurs qui nous submergent, la musique nous offre et nous fait aimer les beautés de l'humanité
👌👌👌
Is it Stravinsky or Stravinky ?
WOWOWOW
She could even cook, sew, and talk to the phone while singing and directing 😍
Whats the song name? The title of the video is confusing a bit
I can't answer that because you've made me doubt myself with your question
It’s from the opera « The Rake’s Progress » by Stravinsky. This aria makes up act 1 scene 3.
What an absolutely amazing orchestra that plays this intricate and difficult music to perfection. They don’t need a conductor. She gave cues but doesn’t count as a conductor in this clip. She’s great, tho!
Of course they need a conductor, giving cues is one of the main things a conductor does! Yes there are bars where they’re a jukebox, but all good musicians can keep a steady rhythm on their own.
"Conducting"?
The truth is, she would sing better more comfortably if she wasn’t conducting, and the orchestra would be more comfortable if there was a conductor :-) Not to mention, with the recapitulation of “I go to him” where she miscounted and almost had real disaster, with a conductor, they would have been able to help her 😝 Brava nonetheless. An impressive feat of coordination at least.
a great singer, but why also conduct? it breaks so much the singing part
Dann stellte sich eine Frage an La Maestra. Warum Sie dirigiert? Das Orchester kann ohne ihre Dirigenten Leistung ganz wunderbar spielen. Sie hat so wunderbare Stimme. Es ist nicht nötig dass noch zusätzlich auf solche fragwürdige Weise das unterstreichen. Es schadet nur!
bizzare
why's she's flapping around the whole time
She is the conductor '-'
Amazing talent but one should focus in doing one thing at a time. She should focus in being Anne here... this arrangement, letting her doing both singing and conducting seriously lacking one important matter. i am impressed with her talent but she faild to touch my heart. I was distracted. It is not "someone has talent "show. Art should touch people's heart. not showing off what one can do all in one moment.
This was really well done as this aria is so bizarre as a composition. Her rhythm is perfect and I think the brighter more soubrette voices work best in this role. Fuller lyric sopranos sound to middle aged to be convincing. The aspect of Hannigan and her self-conducting really work in certain pieces where usually the conductor ignores the voice. Here we are able to enjoy the piece ideally nuanced and conducted by the actual soloist. Fascinating.
I'd say she specializes in the bizarre region of opera.
Rhythm not quite perfect - she misses the syncopation on the high g at 7.06 and it sounds wrong. But, that aside, it is a magnificent interpretation.
@@geoffwalker9392 a few little other tiny little things as well... BUT that's all probably due to the "conducting" issue... she'd nail the SHIT out of this aria if her hands weren't so busy... singing is all about breath and energy... and when you're using so many techniques at one time... for two totally different disciplines... "occasionally" something got ta give... I've played a piano concert ONCE from the bench while conducting... I used my head a lot... you can't do that here... ALL this being said... she's simply amazing!
Why do you think this composition is bizarre? It is in strict recit-arioso-recit-aria form.
Thank you.
Exquisite and beautiful singing. And great conducting. Not sure it should be done at the same time, though. I want to watch and listen to a singer who is absorbed by the character, and I'm kind of distracted from doing that because she's conducting at the same time. It makes the performance less enjoyable for me.
I agree with you
Nice, a double threat talent, a la Nathalie Stutzmann -- contralto and conductor!
There used to be a time when singers were not considered musicians - not anymore. :-)
This lady is seriously gifted.
When were singers ever not considered musicians?
JB - I would say between 1550 and 1950? It was said many, many times as a joke, especially during orchestral rehearsals, when singers were not present.... Sort of like when female fiddle players were seen as an oddity and not taken seriously. Indeed, some very accomplished female professional concert violinists gave up their careers as soon as they got married or as soon as they had kids. :-)
Many instrumentalists have gotten into the conducting racket but it is so much more practical for singers because they don't have to wield a fiddle or a clarinet or a recorder or a piano while waving their arms about everywhere. I believe more singers will soon follow Barbara's example.
violinhunter2 source? Not for the sexism bit from back in the day but for people not respecting vocalists. I always got the impression that if anything singers were MORE respected than instrumentalists not less
Talk about having it all! Brilliant!!
I've performed this with her, and it's an experience I'll never forget!
No one even liked ur comment.
Someone need to get out of the shadows.
So fortunate you are. I can only imagine 🎶🎵🙏
What a voice she has!!! Truly brilliant.
Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, die Begleitung kann so zum Großteil
über Gefühlssynchronisation mit dem Orchester funktionieren, wenn die
bestimmten Voraussetzungen dafür erfüllt sind. Nur der Sänger kann wissen wer
er ist und wie er singen will.
Multi-talent. Probably a genius!
THE SHEER TALENT...
Brilliant as always!
Music 101. You serve the composer. This is totally self serving
wow, this is amazing!
Mysteriously wonderful
Have con sentimento moments
Chapeau !
Eine wunderbare Musik
As much as I admire Barbara Hannigan´s musicianship and intelligence, I must say I prefer a less soubrettish soprano for this aria.
I liked the opera very much. Everything but the music.
The Emperor's New Clothes..... Extraordinary! Maravilloso! Chapeau ! :) :)
A self-declared multitalent. She is a pretty good soprano, she is ridiculous as would-be conductor.
Uh huh? And what specifically is it that you don't approve of and would do differently, if you were in charge? Musically, I mean. I'm sure would stand there waving your hands around with your backside presented to the audience, looking like the sort of conductor that someone like you would approve of, but performance presentation aside, what would you prefer, in the realisation of this piece?
A childish reaction. What would I do when I was in charge? Step down and ask a real director. I know I do not have the expertise "to be in charge". This clown has not reached that level of wisdom yet.
If you can't say what you don't like about the interpretation, or the coordination of the band, you're not actually saying anything at all. You don't understand what a conductor actually does, evidently. Aim for that level of wisdom first, perhaps, before passing your naive judgement on someone who does.
You asked me what I would do, and I gave you the answer. I have been a musical journalist for 35 years, I have a degree in Musicology, I interviewed Haitink and Solti, but you're right, I haven't a clue what a director does. So much for my naive judgment. I have nothing against the way the orchestra plays, it would have been playing the same if there wasn't some clown in front of them waving her arms.
+STV haha, you're full of shit. Wtf is a "musical journalist"? A journalist who can play Greensleeves on the nose flute? You can't even write "music journalist" without fucking it up. And you thought asking you what was actually wrong with the performance, according to you, was "childish"? And you think an orchestra just sits down with some sheet music, and comes up with a coherent, balanced performance that is somehow going to be different, better, something unspecified, with a proper conductor who will show them with his hands and his baton and his magnificent hair just how it should go, on the night of the performance? You have a degree in Musicology and are a "musical journalist" and yet you simply don't know what to say about the actual interpretation of the piece, because you're not a conductor, but you have a feeling that whatever the heck is going on, it would be just as good without a conductor? Lol. You interviewed Solti! That must have been a treat for him. What was your question for him - "Can you autograph my program?"
