Dame Kiri Te Kanawa sings "Après un rêve" by Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924). Piano / Roger Vignoles. Recorded from the recital "Chanson de la France" , 1986.
oh how sweet it was to listen and watch. i've sung this piece many times but she opened a new window and took me there with her interpretation. wow. I'm so impressed. brava
This song was made for her. I have yet to hear a better rendition from another singer (and this performance isn't even her best). Dame Kiri Te Kanawa is truly amazing.
very beautiful.......its like expressing immortal love.i think ill borrow this song for my audition. one day i will be like dame kiri.you are so inspiring.
completamente de acuerdo!! para interpretar obras de Fauré nadie mejor de Hendricks! con todo se desplante emocional tan rico y por lo demás muy presente en la música de este gran romántico =). aún así la voz de Te Kanawa debo admitirla como un pequeño placer, cremosa, delicada, muy señorial. siempre es un gusto escuchar alguna interpretación de ella =)
@tcradical Romantic? It's tragic. Faure wrote this after his engagement ended. The text is talking about being haunted by the image of the lover in a dream, and preferring the lies of the dream to cold reality.
Nadie como la Hendricks cantando esta canción, me pareció algo fría esta interpretación, el texto es desbordante, apasionado, y ella no me lo transmitió, pero hizo una linda versión, no conocía este recital de canciones francesas, ojalá que lo pueda comprar en algún sitio, gracias por colgarlo!

She starts a little shaky, and not so into it... but then I think she feels its by "eclaire par l'aurore"... I think in "tu m'apellais" she should've gotten more forte
I love how she treats this piece with the tenderness it calls for! Thank you Kiri for pulling us into such an tender and intimate experience!
I appreciate Te Kanawa's purity of line and precision.

That's love.

La voix est trop lourde et la chanson ne raconte pas d'un cauchemar: "je rêvait le bonheur, ...tu rayonnais comme un ciel éclairé par l'aurore."

I am seeing once more, her fame got reason. And, thank godness, it is not made by our commenters.

She didn't start shaky.
Elly Ameling is much better when it comes to art songs (lieder) like this......
Much prefer she sing Handel and Bach--not French Chanson....terrible
