my choir teacher in high school, mr graves, actually worked for festival disney in their choir for years before becoming a teacher and ill never forget when he performed this for us to teach about having confidence in your voice while learning how to utilize your range!
Bryn Terfel is an acclaimed operatic bass-baritone. He is Welsh and well known in the opera world. Being an opera singer means he has a magnificent voice and is an excellent actor when singing. He’s wonderful here!
Saw Bryn Terfel at Tanglewood in recital several years ago. The amazing thing about him was just how much he was enjoying himself--in fact he didn't want to stop. After a couple of hours, he launched into a series of encores. Then he took requests. Then he remarked on how acoustically wonderful the space was and announced he would "test" it by singing as loud as he could. IDK, maybe he was on something 🤪 but it was FABULOUS!!! I will never forget it.
That's why this is my jam, particularly "I'd discuss the holy books with the learned men seven hours every day". When you're poor, most of what you fantasize about is God and having a good relationship with him.
@@verityvinyl8540 At some point in the rehearsals, they wanted to cut that whole section towards the end when he sings "If I were rich, I'd have the time that I lack...". Zero Mostel put his foot down. "If you cut that, you don't know this man!" It was left in.
"Oh, Lord, you made many, many poor people I realize, of course, it's no shame to be poor But it's no great honor either! So, what would have been so terrible if I had a small fortune?" If I were a rich man Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum All day long, I'd biddy biddy bum If I were a wealthy man I wouldn't have to work hard Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum If I were a biddy biddy rich yidle-diddle-didle-didle man I'd build a big, tall house with rooms by the dozen Right in the middle of the town A fine tin roof with real wooden floors below There would be one long staircase just going up And one even longer coming down And one more leading nowhere, just for show I'd fill my yard with chicks and turkeys and geese and ducks For the town to see and hear Squawking just as noisily as they can And each loud of the"gee", be it "gow", be it "geh", be it "guh" Would land like a trumpet on the ear As if to say, "Here lives a wealthy man" If I were a rich man Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum All day long, I'd biddy biddy bum If I were a wealthy man I wouldn't have to work hard Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum If I were a biddy biddy rich yidle-diddle-didle-didle man I see my wife, my Goldie, looking like a rich man's wife With a proper double-chin Supervising meals to her heart's delight I see her putting on airs and strutting like a peacock Oy, what a happy mood she's in Screaming at the servants, day and night The most important men in town would come to fawn on me!

Ive always like this rendition. Since he's adding he's own flair and antics into the song, it adds a layer of personality thats similar to the original but otherwise personal. What i mean is that in the original, the emotion you get is akin to "Sigh, I know its not everything, but wouldn't it be nice to be rich". In this one its "I know its not eveything, but come on! Wouldnt it be nice to be rich!?" Its that subtle difference that I like.
Sure. Great choices make great performances. These weren’t great choices though imo. The cadences and often cynical delivery we saw from Mostel, Bernardi, and Topol were unmistakably East European Jewish. This would be perfect if it was a performance of La Mancha or Sweeney Todd. As Tevye… I don’t know. Didn’t do it for me.
I'd never heard of this guy until I saw him on Michael mckintyre. He was good so came on here to hear some more...What a fantastic, entertaining man. Brilliant voice and love the facial antics.. Will be watching a lot more of him....love from a new fan Bryn xx
I would highly recommend that you look into his work,which has spanned over 30 years. He is one of the very greatest stars of International Opera in our time. To make it even better,he is a fellow Welshman! Know kindest regards.
Sir Bryn’s career started after the famous ‘Battle of the Baritones’ during the 1989 ‘Cardiff Singer of the World’ competition. He was definitely the favourite, especially being Welsh, but it was a very strong final and he was pipped at the post by the great Russian, Mr Dimitri Hvorostovsky.
I am constantly coming back to this video. This semester at school, I am picking this to be one of my repertoire pieces, and I am planning to perform it like Bryn Terfel does here. I can't wait for everyone in the room to die laughing 🤣
@@denysarcuri1213 I don’t believe that was his intention. I believe he was just stating where he is. Kinda like a post card to show the reach that this particular TH-cam video has. God bless!
Zero Mostel performed this song so well...but this performance is now at the top of my list! Terrific facial expressions and vocal emotion. WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE!!
A good number, perfectly in the spirit of the original rendition. J'ai vu cette comédie musicale à Paris il y a longtemps. Même atmosphère ici. Bravo from Montréal.

Yes hes an amazing singer, but i just can't enjoy it as much as the original singer Chaim Topol, he was just to perfect for that roll and what a voice!
Audiences are notorious for ruining classical music performances. Just the other day, I was watching a recording of Tchaikovsky's Nocturne for Cello and Orchestra and literally, at the final chord, some jackass in the audience sneezed. The conductor's face was briefly pure agony. Gorgeous music, but people will remember how the end was ruined.
@@danielrbsutton As someboody who has almost sneezed during many performances, this is something that can be controlled, if not fully prevented. A full-on loud-as-hell sneeze is just bad manners in a concert hall. You can try to be quiet about it. But yeah, clapping along is such an amateur move...
Of course his voice is great, but his acting, especially with his face, is priceless!
Do you mean "cheap"? 🤔
This is probably why all the opera stages in the world are looking for him.
He's just doing a Zero Mostel impression...
He’s playing Tevye as the village idiot. Awful.
my choir teacher in high school, mr graves, actually worked for festival disney in their choir for years before becoming a teacher and ill never forget when he performed this for us to teach about having confidence in your voice while learning how to utilize your range!
To me, Chaim Topol's performance in the 1971 film will always be the best version ever, but this is the runner-up.
Agreed! Robert Merrill wasn't bad, but Bryn is the better actor.
It's a bit weird to see someone performing this song in a tuxedo. 😆
Came here to say just that!
Closer your eyes, mother.
Just a rental... ;-)
😂
I like that you can see the conductor at 1:04 fighting back the laughter
The violinist on our left starting at 1:20 is doing her best

He added some humour to it and modernise it. Anyway the lyrics "if I were a rich man I wouldn't have to work hard". Still so relevant today.😅🤣

Watch him sing " The pearl fisherman's duet",with Bocelli. It won't disappoint you,promise. 👍👍👍
Great stuff; but it's only the "best ever" if you've never seen Topol do it
I watched the film when I was younger, I love this song, Topol was brilliant, but Bryn's voice is so good to listen to
'Fiddler' is an all time favourite of mine - I'd watch it any time, and Topol is unsurpassed !

Zero Mostel left big shoes to fill, and Mr Tefel steps right up with antics and powerful voice.

Господ, който е създал лъва и агнето,
Ти постанови, че трябва да бъда това, което съм.
Би ли развалил някакъв огромен вечен план?
Ако бях богат човек.
He is a wonderful artist.
Broken glass in the street reflects the moonlight best!
Страхотно изпълнение! Браво!
Just watch this with my almost 96 years old client. I was kicking up my heels and she was laughing hysterically. PRICELESS!
Very well done!!
Excellent!
I saw Zero Mostel in his final appearance on Broadway do this . There hasn’t been a better Tevya than Zero.
Wonderful lyrics.
I never saw a better performance!
Thank you for sharing this. Such a wonderful performance!!
Yes hes an amazing singer, but i just can't enjoy it as much as the original singer Chaim Topol, he was just to perfect for that roll and what a voice!
There will always be only one Tevye….. and that would be Topol!❤
He is amazing!
Brilliant 🥰
Simplesmente sensacional!!
THAT exit off stage was the pimpest of the pimpest moves! OY VEY!
Nobody does better than Topol.
Un régal ! Merci❤😂
Bryn will always be my favorite Sweeney Todd, i hope i get to see him live someday!

Wonderful!
Brilliant !!!!!!
This is a great performance! A little annoying, though, when the audience started clapping along and interrupted it :(
Audiences are notorious for ruining classical music performances. Just the other day, I was watching a recording of Tchaikovsky's Nocturne for Cello and Orchestra and literally, at the final chord, some jackass in the audience sneezed. The conductor's face was briefly pure agony. Gorgeous music, but people will remember how the end was ruined.
@@rsaettone At least sneezing is unintentional, but I can see how it was distracting for the orchestra and conductor
@@danielrbsutton As someboody who has almost sneezed during many performances, this is something that can be controlled, if not fully prevented. A full-on loud-as-hell sneeze is just bad manners in a concert hall. You can try to be quiet about it. But yeah, clapping along is such an amateur move...
@@rsaettone OK
And the laughing 🙄
Best version not counting Topol's!
rip
Class. Really feel like he missed a trick by not calling himself ‘Reb Terfel’ though
A compelling interpretation, but I think being in the context of the film cinematography is the better version.
This is beyond great!!
This was perfect
That. Was. Legendary. Wow!
I remember my Father sitting on the couch playing this song on his albums,
Bravo Sir, you have shortened this long face ❤
