I attended this concert; it was absolutely stunning (I was working for Leeuwin at the time, so I had a free ticket). Galway is a consummate performer and was perfectly matched with Dame Kiri. At one point it began to rain and the floor of the sound shell started to get wet. Galway was asked if he wanted to stop, but he refused and simply took a towel to wipe his flute occasionally!
Dame Kiri can do anything with her voice and it comes out stunning music that grips the heart and more often than not a tear to the eye. She is one of life's miracles! What a privilege that we get to hear her.
Magnificent , touching and most heart felt rendition of this divine song along with the great John McCormack I've ever heard . Thankyou so much to Kiri and James such wonderful gifted artists that you both are- I loved it
Ganz wunderbare Stimme. Bleiben Sie gesund, lieber Herr Olsen. Sie erinnern mich sehr an meinen Vater, Opernsänger, der diese Lieder ebenfalls sang. Ich habe sie bei den Klavierproben eingeatmet...Danke !❤
Danny boy 並非一首流行歌曲，它是一首愛爾蘭民謠，曲子有三、四百年歷史，而歌詞也有一百多年的歷史；在三首最有名的愛爾蘭民謠之中，它排第一。 百多年來，翻唱者不計其數，現在你聽到的是最好的版本，歌者kiri Te Kanawa，她母親就是愛爾蘭人。 詞意繾綣，柔情無限，襯著愛爾蘭牧笛和蘇格蘭風笛背景的音樂，還有如夢似幻的豎琴聲，彷彿重回那一大片一大片連綿無盡頭的 草原，讓微風輕拂臉龐，讓憂傷隨風而逝，連同那些往日的絮絮誓言，絲絲惆悵。 ~from Hong Kong Danny boy Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side The summer’s gone, and all the roses are dying ‘Tis you, ’tis you must go and I must bide But come you back when summer’s in the meadow Or when the valley’s hushed and white with snow ‘Tis I’ll be there in sunshine or in shadow Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so And if you come, when all the roses are dying And I am dead, as dead I well may be You’ll come and find the place where I am lying And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me And I shall hear, tho’ soft you tread above me And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be If you’ll not fail to tell me that you love me I simply sleep in peace until you come to me
The song 'Danny Boy' was written by Frederic Weatherly but was a flop until his sister assigned the Irish tune 'The Derry Air' to the song and it became a hit. Irish people generally object to the term 'Londonderry' as it is a sign of our country being in the grip of the English invaders, much like the Maori object to pakeha terms being used. The correct name for Derry derives from the Gaelic name 'Doire Colmcille' or (St) Colmcille's oak. It is an ancient name, used way before the British invaders took our country and enslaved it, our people and our culture.
The title of the air came from the name of County Derry, and was collected by Jane Ross of Limavady in the county and not some Scottish lass of the same name. I never mentioned Frederic Weatherly's nationality, because it is not in dispute. Ross submitted the tune to music collector George Petrie, and it was then published by the Society for the Preservation and Publication of the Melodies of Ireland in the 1855 book The Ancient Music of Ireland, which Petrie edited.[1] The tune was listed as an anonymous air, with a note attributing its collection to Jane Ross of Limavady. For the following beautiful air I have to express my very grateful acknowledgement to Miss J. Ross, of New Town, Limavady, in the County of Derry-a lady who has made a large collection of the popular unpublished melodies of the county, which she has very kindly placed at my disposal, and which has added very considerably to the stock of tunes which I had previously acquired from that still very Irish county. I say still very Irish, for though it has been planted for more than two centuries by English and Scottish settlers, the old Irish race still forms the great majority of its peasant inhabitants; and there are few, if any counties in which, with less foreign admixture, the ancient melodies of the country have been so extensively preserved. The name of the tune unfortunately was not ascertained by Miss Ross, who sent it to me with the simple remark that it was 'very old', in the correctness of which statement I have no hesitation in expressing my perfect concurrence. ps I am not, in any way, bigoted, I was simply noting the original name of the county, it's origins, and the reasons for the replacement name being disliked.
+Lar Dooley Can't blame you for not wanting to be "in the grip of the English invaders." But is that really worse than being in the grip of violently insane hatred of 2 bigoted sects of the same religion?
eng-lish invaders?or british invaders?...i'm a scot...not a brit....anything decided by *britain* is in actual fact an eng-lish decision....so stick to *eng-lish*,purely in the name of accuracy.
Well, sorry to say so, but this is a great example of why operatic singers should leave popular music alone. She has a truly great voice, but it does not do justice to the melody or the lyrics. Sorry!
chills....goosebumps..... so beautiful. beautiful lady and beautiful performance

To die for. There are sopranos. And there is Kanawa. Because of this song I started to celebrate St.Patrick.
A tremendous performance by the premier soprano of our time.

The best soprano has ever lived.

Danny boy
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer’s gone, and all the roses are dying
‘Tis you, ’tis you must go and I must bide
But come you back when summer’s in the meadow
Or when the valley’s hushed and white with snow
‘Tis I’ll be there in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so
And if you come, when all the roses are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You’ll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me
And I shall hear, tho’ soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you’ll not fail to tell me that you love me
I simply sleep in peace until you come to me
將抽象的樂音作出
細膩具體的形容。
辭藻優美。
謝謝

ina
She didn't end it the way it should have been
þessi kona er óneitanlega frábær en hún nær þessu ekki alveg enda hinum megin a hnettinum
According to Kiri Te Kanawa this isn't real music! She states that the only real music is classical music! Think again lady!

Very Well Said Mr. Dooley & You Sir Are 100% Correct In Your Historical Remarks Of The English Invaders Of Mother Erin.
Please Take Your Meds & Get The 'Oliver Cromwell B/S Out Of Your Mind.
