A lighter than air delivery from a bass baritone who can put you right in the mood ; now that’s true talent and versatility.A great singer. Now I fully understand why this song is so loved ; Bryn gives it a fresh, fun quality and his voice, as always, is drop-dead gorgeous. Following his concert in Auckland, N.Z. some years ago, I had a chance to chat with him after all the autograph seekers had left and it was a joyful experience ; as easy and comfortable as talking to a close friend or family member.Not a hint of conceit or superiority.
what a pity not many has seen this. it can give me spring fever any time of the year. what a masterpiece, in such a light-heart nonchalant fashion! totally cool!
Jonas Kaufmann in one of his interviews talks about perhaps doing some schlagers because they're beautifu and quite difficult, he says. Here we have Bryn Terfel put his stamp on a delightful song of yesteryear. Thanks youl
Three elements: Great voice, fabulous musicianship and lastly the English language. That's odd in a way because I believe his first language is Welsh. Geraint Evans sang G&S whereas Terfel sing R&H. Lucky for us. America has produced more great baritones that any other nation over the last century but Merrill, Milnes or Warren were never this good with G&H. Yes, we're lucky.
If you heard Cossotto in the 60’s - as I did, many times - you are less impressed by Z.’s strange vocalism, which, as someone said, she attempted to teach young singers. The essence of it seemed to be spread the mouth horizontally as much as you can and then scream.
I love how he combines his acting ability with his voice to give his presentation that something extra that even had the conductor amused.

Beautiful operatic rendition of this great song from State Fair 1945. Composed by Rodgers & Hammerstein. Thankyou.
Never heard this from Bryn. I'll never forget it either. Incredible rendition with fun and precision. Beautiful sound.
What a fantastic arrangement. Love the words he sings staccato. Always wonderful from Sir Bryn Terfel.
Impeccable enunciation. Words are so clear. And of course, very fine singing.
Bravo!
This is from the best consert Terfel ever have given,that is my tast. It was before he startet with the great dramatic parts….
I've been watching almost daily. It is delightful.
Epic voice and an epic rendition. Thank you for sharing. Peace & Blessings.

Bryn forever.
Magnificent voice and singer.
Bravo,
Che meraviglia ! Che sogno ascoltarlo dal vivo , magari a Bologna o al comunale di Ferrara. Oppure sulle Dolomiti.
Beautiful

From "State Fair". Love to play this on the piano with jazz improvisations too. Good to hear this fine version.
I discovered Bryn on TH-cam.He is a magnificent bus baritone.Thanks TH-cam.
Linda Watkin Terfel sonha a wonderful melody from "Allegro"(a fellow needs a girl).seek for it.
Isn't it? I never thought a guy's singing could fit this song so greatly.
Favorite song
Excellent
Omg how Beautiful!
Wonderful performance.
Love his facial expressions!
Such a great voice. He was wonderful in this year's new production of Wagner's Ring Cycle.
Just wonderful! I love this guy! And, Ed Stutsman, you are correct, sir!!!
I generally prefer a more melancholy rendition of this song, but this was terrific.
I want it to be spring!
It's close! Such different interpretations that it is almost a different song.
Like the first time you hear the words
Good pop rendition by an opera singer.

Bass baritone
They should make a new Zulu film and stick Bryn in it! It has to honour the Zulu correctly this time though!
Se è uno scherzo non è di buon gusto
I liked Mel Torme better in this!
