Jacqui being so Jacqui, guiding people to seats, telling the audience audience about Tannhauser. First, I have never known an artist as great as Marilyn Horne was/is become such a great teacher, but she did. I had the great privilege of working with her a few times, mostly through Joan Sutherland and Richard Bonynge and always great to work with. Truly one of the nicest people God ever created. No wonder she and Joan were such good friends, both such unassuming people. Love her and send her a birthday card every year because she shares the day with my late father. What you are seeing here is how she always was.
1:02.19 "Every time I did it it brought down the house, but it wasn't me it was Gluck". Who am I to disagree with Ms. Horne, but I would have to say that she probably had something to do with it also as one of the greatest singers of all time.
The Baritino Michael, hope he also will get into lieder.Such a wonderful voice, rich!And the Mezzo....her instrument is the most ready.You hear it, and delivering the music on a silver plater.
I think the Wagner baritone has an absolutely first-rate instrument, but is young and developing. Beautiful voice, a manly 'baritone' presence. He should have a good career, at the very least.
+Dadacomero He's the complete package. Beautiful, beautiful baritone sound. He has a masculinity which is absolutely essential for a baritone to portray these characters in the operas. He could be cast in the role now! Good luck Mr. Hewitt.
Crucial to singing is the LANGUAGE. It makes no sense to sing some gibberish without expressing the text. And sorry, but when I sing Sophie in Rosenkavalier, the audience must understand what the entire scene is about. Every syllable needs support. Jessye Norman said she never sung in a language she didn´t speak. And that´s why she was convincing in every role because she knew what it was about.
The language sung is rarely my first. I need and appreciate clean diction to follow along and understand. The singers should be trained and care enough to do it correctly.
+pega17pl The Asian girl had a very beautiful voice and a healthy vibrato. The problem with her is her high heels throw her posture too far forward. She has potential.
Hmm... that is something You'll never get past with the high sopranos. They are little women tiptoeing in a fast pace. Just look at Diana Damrau. Listen to her Susanna in "Nozze"... I'm not saying it is wrong; but it is different from other Susannas. They are simply to different types of singers. But generally You are right - sopranoes have a tendency to use awful footwear. Birgit Nilsson once stated the most important thing singing Brünhilde was comfortable shoes. You see how Anna Netrebko use every opportunity to kick off her shoes. And again as Thomas Hampson would say ankles under hips under shoulders to give correct breathing.
Addio, addio, o miei sospiri, Orfeo's aria from Orfeo ed Euridice Addio, addio, o miei sospiri, Away with mourning and sighing, Han speme i miei desiri; Lo, on the gods relying; Per lei soffrir vo' tutto, For her all risks defying, Ed ogni duolo sfidar. I boldly go on my quest. Addio, addio, o miei sospiri, Away with mourning and crying, Han speme i miei desiri; Lo, on the gods relying; Per lei soffrir vo' tutto, For her all risks defying, Ed ogni duolo sfidar. I boldly go…I go on my quest. Veder ben vogl'io l'inferno, I’ll press through hell’s gloomy portal, Veder ben vogl'io l'inferno, ...through hell’s gloomy portal, I figli d'Orco vincer, Force it's powers immortal, Quei tutti superar! To bow to my behest!
(29:47) At similar dress case at her master class Christa Ludwig complained red color. "Not your dress but your singing is important at recital! Don't distract with flashy clothes!"
The ”mezzo” singing Gluck here is barely a mezzo. Yes nowadays every soprano with a short top are mezzos like DiDonato for example. And they are called lyric mezzos because they have small voices. She’s of course talented even if she lacks som clarity. Once upon a time there were more either contraltoish lower voices and the rest were sopranos with or without high notes for bravura coloratura. At any voice competition nowadays there are mostly sopranos and a few ”lyric” limited mezzos. Why no contraltos or big dramatic sopranos?
Why was Wagner dissatisfied with Tannhäuser? In the original version of finale, after Venus appears Tannhäuser returns to her. This finale was censored after the premiere in Dresden. Wagner had to write a new conclusion. He changed the text but left the music untouched. Now the internal structure of the opera is damaged. Wolfram's song to the evening star (who is Venus!) loses its bigotry. Wagner was a revolutionary and wanted to denounce the mendacity of church and court with his 'singer competition'. Above all, the hypocritical 'high Gothic' Elisabeth was a thorn in his side, too, he (Tannhäuser and Wagner) preferred carnal pleasures (Venus!)
No Tannhäuser can be cuter than this baritone. And when his German gets better and his singing ripes within the next years, this could be one of the barihunks the world is waiting for. Manly singing, still lacking edges and interpretation and sometimes flat but that might be due to being nervous and lack of experience.
The Bass is wonderful, but his tune is often too high and the German pronounciation often wrong. ...dem Tarrr der Erde? ....correct: dem Tal der Erde. usw.
Lord the Wagner baritone is so badly out of tune in the middle voice. Her comment on the closed vowel in ‘Seele’ was interesting. German singers will sing these vowels more or less open/closed depending on where they are from. Schlusnus always sang that word as if the first syllable were ‘zay’.
Solcar is right. Especially towards the end he's sharp much of the time. Probably nerves. And it's not something Mme Horne can fix or even tweak in a masterclass. I assume she just decided to let it go and work where she could make a difference.
I love Marilyn she is SO down to earth. And such a sweet human being. What a honor for these students learning from one of the masters.

These are wonderful singers, and Marylin Horn ist a great teacher and person. Thank you vor posting.
OMG, I'm enjoying this so much I just want to stay and listen to La Maestro!
Very beautiful young voices, guided by the great Marilyn Horne. Hard to top that!
Loved the girl that sang Orpheus! Of course the Maestra is superb!!!
I thought the last piece was so beautiful 💜
I love Marilyn!
Still,such a wise articulate woman......!
Love the red socks, btw! Goes great with the time line! :)
What an amazing voice!
Who?
@@draganvidic2039We'll never know 🥲
Its interesting that this is my favorite Wagner song and somehow i click on this video.

Cute baritone at first and a nice voice. I hear a chiaroscuro sound, balanced registers and a beautiful timbre.
The Baritino Michael, hope he also will get into lieder.Such a wonderful voice, rich!And the Mezzo....her instrument is the most ready.You hear it, and delivering the music on a silver plater.
I really love the tenor's voice ! I hope to hear more of him in the future when he develops

+!mrdunn brucvald and he's an EXTREMELY good looking man, unlike most of opera singers

interesting, I thought baritones tend to be good looking in general.
Great!
Michael Hewitt.....so beautiful!!!!

Without knowing/speaking the language you aren't able to generate 'Ausdruck' Jessye Norman knows.
Altonahh10 I agree with you 100% to me if the language is not legato than it gets your voice in knots!
Altonahh10 no

Sorry to say, but at her master classes I appreciate Horne's humorous explanations and remarks more than the singing.

...but Anna´s shoe kicking doesn´t help any more. She´s completely out of focus, no matter what shoes she´s wearing ;-)

@@flyinghow I mean SINGING!!!

dove studiano il canto questi ragazzi ?!!
tutti sono purtroppo poco preparati tecnicamente .
quel gâchis
Conservatori, accedemie, maestri famosi e non...
Questa è la realtà purtroppo..

Couldn't disagree more - the guy has not the slightest idea what he is singing

I think he was super nervous
The first baryton is out of tune! Can't believe she doesn't hear it!
No. He's not off-pitch. Horne isn't not hearing flat singing.
Wagner is simply utilizing unusual harmonies involving the singer and orchestra....
Solcar is right. Especially towards the end he's sharp much of the time. Probably nerves. And it's not something Mme Horne can fix or even tweak in a masterclass. I assume she just decided to let it go and work where she could make a difference.
Baritone. Often flat, sometimes sharp. Generally, beautiful.
Nice voice and handsome but boring. Madame Horne is wonderful!
Piano player is hot...booty.
La pronuncia italiana a volte non buona
Out of tune
Who?
