This showed up in my recommended list after I listened to several of your Mörike-Lieder, and I'm convinced it's a sign that I should put this one on my recital.
Thank you for these videos! You were my first favorite singer, and your recordings (I think I have all of them) are etched into my mind's ear. It is amazing to hear you talk about music and poetry. Simply amazing. Your voice is always the voice I hear in my head when I am writing songs. Your voice (and your musicianship) is and always has been a huge part of my life. It makes me so happy to get to watch these videos and to write this message to you. I would say that you have always been an "influencer" to those of us who love music and those of us who make music.
Dear Ms. Ameling: you are an influencer to me without any doubt, but not what the modern day meaning of an influencer who tries to sell a product or promotes a business so the influencer can receive profits or free samples from the manufactures. You are influencing the willing listeners with your life time body of works in recordings of what it meant to have the integrity, and the intelligence to interpret a piece of music written a hundred, or two hundred years ago and be the voice for the composers the best way you can. The purpose is to reproduce the written music the most honest way a singer can without the ego. You pass on the knowledge to the students the correct way to read music, or to the audience how to appreciate the singing of pure and elegant tonality without the thick, heavy, manufactured mature sound that we tend to hear these days. Just like Wunderlich, Fischer-Dieskau, just to name a few, you are all great influencers to those who are willing to listen.
Ha! YOU are not an "Influencer" because you are in a class of your own!!! I truly love you!
You are one of my heroes in music!!!! Thank you. I grew up listening to you. Many blessings
What a blessing to my life is, and has been, Elly Ameling.
