What a beautiful voice! This is the most beautiful performance I've ever heard of this aria which has always been one of my favorites.
If you love this song, you might want to check out Taehan Kim, Queen Elizabeth Competition 2023 final.
His performance is simply another level.
Wunderbare Musik und phantastische Darstellung.
Ja, sicherlich! Grosszuegig zumal reichlich, und mit den pianos auch so@@JohannesKammler
Stunningly beautiful!
Wirklich kuenstlerisch, Johannes! Komm doch mal wieder zu uns in London!
This young fellow can easily be mentioned in the same breath as the legend that was Fischer- Dieskau. A sound technique,
his overall vocal is very reminiscent of Dieskau at the same age. Resonant, masculine, elegant all at he same time.
He has a great stage presence as well. Bound for glory.
Wow! This feedback is such an honor to me, not only because I adored (and still adore) Dieskau's singing. I highly appreciate your kind words! Thank you so so much!!
Just here I'm not thinking of the great FiDi, but of Sir Thomas Allen (you can hear this aria in English from him here) - and Johannes K. seems to have gotten something from the famous Allen Charme and the deep sensitivity.
So beautifull
beautiful and talented sounds even better when he is more relaxed in some spots--he becomes more resonant and true to tone and pitch only--that's what's most impressive.
Браво!!!
A translation from an old libretto of the New York Grand Opera Season 1921-1922. English translation by R.H. Elkin:
I'm yearning, I'm sighing,
I'm dreaming in vain,
Of how I won heaven
And lost it again :
'Twas during the dance, -
Two souls entranc'd, -
A whispered confession -
A suppliant glance -
Her voice murmur'd close to my heart :
"O tell me we never need part,
"And true to your Rhineland for ever remain !"
I'm yearning, I'm sighing
And dreaming in vain ....
Tempted by travel, I left my native town ;
Lured by her dancing, I joined her troupe as clown
Caught in Marietta's tresses,
Learnt to love mid tears and kisses
Wealth and want,
Love and hate,
That is poor Pierrot's fate !
A perennial baritone favourite.... he does it well
Wonderfully stylish singing, fine technique and control, and a stunningly beautiful voice! I'm green with envy... (At a masterclass, this aria was considered extremely difficult by none other than the superhuman Thomas Hampson!! ) Best of luck, and hope to hear you on recordings at least. Greetings from Portugal!
🤣 Yes, it is… Thank you so much for your kind words! All best to Portugal from Germany! 👋🏻
Very nice, really. Though, the guy is breathing every now and then... Incredible. Like Joyce DiDonato once said, you can breath, no problem, there is no breathing police or anything like that.
Eine traumhafte Mittellage, tatsächlich erinnert er mich auch teilweise an FiDi. Nun muss er - im Gegensatz zu FiDi - auch noch die letzten 10 % nach oben kommen, dann hören wir hier gerade einen ganz großen Bariton der Zukunft.
Did he win?
Johannes Kammler won the 2nd prize of NEUE STIMMEN 2017. You can find more information here: www.bertelsmann-stiftung.de/en/topics/latest-news/2017/oktober/svetlina-stoyanova-and-cho-chanhee-win-2017-neue-stimmen-international-singing-competition/ (fw)
A bit draggy, miss the rubato. pickup the pace so the stretches mean something. yes, reminds one of DF-D, but Dieskau's voice had a more youthful vocal weight at this age, which is why his career went so long. once you start putting the weight in, you can never really go back
ヨハネスカムラー、ヨナスカウフマンと間違いそうでした‼️貴公子のような居で立ちと美声でスターになること請け合い‼️プッチーニかベルディで聴きたかった‼️
The old problem, not singing forward and over the note!!
Pathetic comment. This is better singing than you’ll hear at most major opera houses. On top of that this is a competition for YOUNG singers.
Lots of straight tones and woofy singing. Completely post-2000 style for an opera over a century old. Not a bad instrument though...in the more involved parts, he loses the straight tones and undersupport and lets loose, but it's still considerably overdarkened. Misses the old stage-voice of the past singers. Compare Hans Duhan.
schöne Stimme aber, langweilig, langweilig und langweilig. alles gleich, wo ist die Musik. schade.
I see it differently. It´s the perfect tone for this aria and what he sings about.
Eine der schönsten, berührendsten Arien des oftmals unterschätzten Komponisten... so gesungen, wie man sie hören möchte, um sich immer wieder fasziniert ihrer Stimmung hingeben zu können: mit viel Ausdruck und einer Stimme, die angenehmes Timbre, Klangfülle und Eleganz in sich vereint... Davon gerne jederzeit mehr! 👏👏👏
