Wonderful short! I enjoyed this visually as much as I did musically. Purcell (I think) would be most pleased. Mr. Yandell's voice and his expressive face were a treat. More like this please!!
I started watching on my phone, then ran into the study and pushed my husband away from the pc to watch and hear it properly! Thank you for a real Thursday Chiller Thriller!
It's so satisfying to watch because it's one of those ideas that you badly want to happen... one of those ideas that just make so much sense in your mind but afraid that it will be discouraged and turned down.
- King Arthur, Act 3: What Power Art Thou - The Monteverdi - Lyrics - - What power art thou - Who from below - Hast made me rise - Unwillingly and slow - From beds of everlasting snow - See'st thou not how stiff - And wondrous old - Far unfit to bear the bitter cold - I can scarcely move - Or draw my breath - I can scarcely move - Or draw my breath - Let me, let me, - Let me freeze again - Let me, let me - Freeze again to death - Let me, let me, let me - Freeze again to death...
@onclebob2178 - "The Cold Song” was written for the opera King Arthur (1691), in which a character known as the Cold Genius represents the spirit of winter. In the aria, the Cold Genius acknowledges the power of love to warm the deepest cold, to thaw winter itself.
@onclebob2178 - The Cold Song - Also known as "What Power Art Thou?", this aria from King Arthur is about the spirit of winter, the Cold Genius, awakening from sleep and acknowledging that love can thaw winter. The Cold Genius is depicted in a red cloak, lying on an ice-covered pond, and the aria includes the lyrics, "What power art thou, who from below / Hast made me rise unwillingly and slow / From beds of everlasting snow?" . The song has been covered by many artists, including Klaus Nomi, Sting, and the Pet Shop Boys.
A bit extreme even for the cold weather we have been having - hardly like the mini ice age of the 1680s - but beautifully sung and played and very interesting overall.

Way better than I expected. Loved every single second of it. Not sure if I prefer the lower version, but this video tilts the scale a bit towards your performance. Keep it up! ;)
Was für eine großartige Interpretation und künstlerisch tolle Idee. Yandell !!!

Wow! Absolutely amazing!!! So incredibly sung by Dingle Yandell!!!!
I am sure that this is the best singing performance of this work so far.

I listened to this on my speakerphone, and I feel like I have committed a crime. That voice is incredible.
Not an issue if you have a good set of headphones 🎧☺️ Regards.
Stunning voice and amazing visuals. I love it!
Love Purcell, love Klaus Nomi, love music.
I also thought of Klaus Nomi.
heard dingle yandell for the first time years ago during his time with Voces8- this is just fantastic!

@@Margaret2332 I don’t understand, he is the cold genius but he seems to have difficulties to live in the cold? So he wishes to freeze to death!!

Respectfully, great singing and a trivial if not districting video.
RIP Klaus Nomi, who gave the world a great rendition of this song shortly before his death.
This is creepy I shouldn’t have watched it at lunch hour.
*clicked replay and watched again*
Bravo!
Gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never heard of Mr Yandell. Wonderful. Purcell's cold song nspired by Lully's cold song.
