-=First=- Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Omg omg omg ! new interpretation of "Pourquoi me réveiller" from Werther, Jules Massenet, sang by Jonas Kaufmann in 2014!!! cf 4.45 minutes He is personification of the romantic hero, that in Werther, Verdi, even Wagner, wow! What a soul The role of Werther is one of the hardest one for tenors, because of the voice register, lots of upper passage's notes, and an heavy orchestration to sing above, really perfect breath control from Kaufmann here, impressive! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKpgQoO3BM4

-=First=- Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Because i'm sharing some parts of this fabulous opera of Georges Bizet, I'll share my favorite duet of all time, "Au fond du temple saint", i've been listening to every interpretation I could find during the last 3 years, here you go with my top 3 : this is pure beauty 1) Nicolas Gedda (ténor) & Ernest Blanc (baryton) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbAKWOemzjg 2) Jonas Kaufmann (ténor) & Dmitri Hvorostovki http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2MwnHpLV48 3) Roberto Alagna (ténor) & Bryn Terfel (baryton) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6E3CJMokN8 Here are the lyrics : Au fond du temple saint Paré de fleurs et d'or, Une femme apparaît! Je crois la voir encore! Une femme apparaît! Je crois la voir encore! La foule prosternée La regarde, etonnée, Et murmure tous bas: Voyez, c'est la déesse! Qui dans l'ombre se dresse Et vers nous tend les bras! Son voile se soulève! Ô vision! ô rêve! La foule est à genoux! Oui, c'est elle! C'est la déesse plus charmante et plus belle! Oui, c'est elle! C'est la déesse qui descend parmi nous! Son voile se soulève et la foule est à genoux! Mais à travers la foule Elle s'ouvre un passage! Son long voile déjà Nous cache son visage! Mon regard, hélas! La cherche en vain! Elle fuit! Elle fuit! Mais dans mon âme soudain Quelle étrange ardeur s'allume! Quel feu nouveau me consume! Ta main repousse ma main! Ta main repousse ma main! De nos cśurs l'amour s'empare Et nous change en ennemis! Non, que rien ne nous sépare! Non, rien! Que rien ne nous sépare! Non, rien! Jurons de rester amis! Jurons de rester amis! Jurons de rester amis! Oh oui, jurons de rester amis! Oui, c'est elle! C'est la déesse! En ce jour qui vient nous unir, Et fidèle à ma promesse, Comme un frère je veux te chérir! C'est elle, c'est la déesse Qui vient en ce jour nous unir! Oui, partageons le même sort, Soyons unis jusqu'à la mort! Translation At the back of the holy temple, decorated with flowers and gold, A woman appears! A woman appears! I can still see her! I can still see her! The prostrate crowd looks at her amazed and murmurs under its breath: look, this is the goddess looming up in the shadow and holding out her arms to us. Her veil parts slightly. What a vision! What a dream! The crowd is kneeling. Yes, it is she! It is the goddess, more charming and more beautiful. Yes, it is she! It is the goddess who has come down among us. Her veil has parted and the crowd is kneeling. But through the crowd she makes her way. Already her long veil hides her face from us. My eyes, alas! Seek her in vain! She flees! She flees! But what is this strange flame which is suddenly kindled in my soul! What unknown fire is destroying me? Your hand pushes mine away! Your hand pushes mine away! Love takes our hearts by storm and turns us into enemies! No, let nothing part us! No, nothing! Let nothing part us! No, nothing! Let us swear to remain friends! Let us swear to remain friends! Let us swear to remain friends! Oh yes, let us swear to remain friends! Yes, it is her, the goddess, who comes to unite us this day. And, faithful to my promise, I wish to cherish you like a brother! It is her, the goddess, who comes to unite us this day! Yes, let us share the same fate, let us be united until death! Have a wonderful night +1 repeat button
