There is no best. It is not a competition. All three are amazing in their very own way of interpretation. It’s just impressive to hear this amazing song again and again. And of course, it will always been connected with Klaus Nomi.
Il n'y a pas de meilleure dans l'art. C'est la question de goût. Ils sont super tous les trois. Personnellement je préfère Scholl. Très profond. J'adore sa voix et la technique.
Andreas Scholl. He was closest to sounding like he was singing submersed in freezing water. Tim Mead didn't have a chance for proper interpretation because the tempo was so effed up, if you pardon my french. Jakub Josef Orlinski had the best orchestration by far, although the strings could have been played more sharply. They need to cut into our ears like knives for this piece to come alive.
Que voilà une idée saugrenue que celle de déterminer qu'elle est la "meilleure" version/interprétation !?!? Ce qui m'intéresse c'est d'écouter ttes ces interprétations, j'aurais bien sûr une ou des préférences, mais cela ne saurait définir une "position", un podium. Et j'espère avoir tjrs la chance de pouvoir écouter différentes versions, c'est la diversité qui fait la richesse, forme notre goût, et développe notre curiosité !!
Loved all three for different reasons, but liked Tim Mead the most. On the other hand, liked Andreas Scholl the most. On the other hand, my heart melts at Orlinski’s singing. Oh dear.
Orlinsky fails in the pronunciation, spite the best harmony. Scholl has an exceptional English but is too much alto. Mead is perfect but the tempo, too much 19th century. But it is a question of arrange. Mead is the best in my vision. I think he does what Purcell would like to hear.
Jakub Orlinski represents a different approach to this song. He sets all the notes longer getting more possibilities to " produce the effect of shivering". My vote goes to Jakub for his innovative approach, in spite of the worse quality of recording (live concert, not a studio one). However, I like Scholl and Mead very much too.
Andreas Scholl for me. You really get the sense of the cold penetrating him and squeezing the breath out of him. Orlinski’s performance is also good, but I prefer Scholl
@@ritahorvath8207 Rita, your comment ("Don't be ridiculous") should be addressed to you yourself. The impression is that you are 6 years old at most. Under one comment you already laughed and a smart person answered you - after which you deleted your "laugh". Drink water if you are hysterical. It's unpleasant to observe your strange reaction under every fifth comment. If you haven't heard Klaus Nomi's version, enlighten yourself - the Internet remembers everything. Good health to you, Rita!
Whomever is your fave vocalist does not make his perf the best ever, necessarily. There are dozens of different orchestrations and interpretations of this strangely modern extrait from Henry Purcell’s masterwork. Bravissimo et merci beaucoup.
@@ritahorvath8207 yes but this song is universaly known via the interpretation of Klaus Nomi. And he was a "well educated singer", he studied at the Deutsche Oper.
Um Emotionen herüber zu bringen bedarf es nicht nur einer guten Ausbildung, sondern Talent und das hat man oder nicht. Und Klaus Nomi beherrschte sein Talent und faszinierte durch seine Erscheinung, die er trefflich einzusetzen vermochte. Das was beim Zuhörer ankommt ist dann wichtiger als ein möglichst sauber vorgetragenes Stück...@@ritahorvath8207
Alors ils chantent merveilleusement tout les trois bien évidemment... mais j'ai quand même une petite préférence pour Andréas Scholl qui à mon goût à une sensibilité plus prononcée, par contre le dernier à quand même un sacré coffre, si je puis m'exprimer ainsi, une voix extrêmement puissante. Je donnerai 2 execo, entre Andréas et le dernier, désolée, n' est pas retenu son nom. Mais un vrai plaisir de tous les entendre. Une façon formidable de nous faire aimer l'opéra. Merci. 😊
Pienso q esta canción es muy compleja, y que no solo es el contratenor, sino la simbiosis con su orquesta de cámara, porque cada canción , independientemente de la interpretación suena diferente. También influye la calidad de la grabación. Todo son muy buenos, esto es cuestión de matices. Scholl tiene la mejor grabación global, pero orlinsky el alma
J'avoue beaucoup aimer l'interprétation d'Orlinsky mais Andreas est ici le maître,incontestablement.Merco à vous messieurs d'honorer le génie de Purcell

Love Józef Orliński! But there exquisite versions on youtube, too: Gerard Lesne: th-cam.com/video/qBxwWRteJG8/w-d-xo.html; Nanette Scriba : th-cam.com/video/VnHnOHZmWDI/w-d-xo.html
@Buttercupz2001 It's an extremely dedicated fan club that always has to pop up in the comments section of any Cold Song video posted on YT. They can't help themselves. It's as if they were keeping a 24/7 vigil operation.
Orlinksi had me on the edge of my seat- even though his version is approximately the same length as the others, his seemed longer just because of the suspense. That being said, I am also very partial to the bass version by Balfour: th-cam.com/video/uwbFDoXpDZU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Lq8Y_iyjEBmqEfrB
All Great! From "King Arthur, Act 3, Scene 1 "The Frost Scene - #20" -- Arthur and his men attack Oswald's castle but Osmond's magic defeats them. Osmond has conjured a "Magick Wood" which bars access to the castle. Merlin promises to help Arthur reach Emmeline and restore her sight with potion in a vial. Scene 2: A deep wood -- Grimbald catches Philidel as he scouts the enchanted wood for Merlin. Philidel pretends to submit but secretly casts a spell on Grimbald which renders him powerless to move. Merlin asks Philidel to guide Arthur through the wood and gives him the vial, which the spirit uses to rid Emmeline of her blindness. Emmeline is amazed at the new world before her eyes. Merlin's spells also allow Arthur and Emmeline to meet for a brief moment and some performances insert the additional duet "You say 'tis love" here. Emmeline, however will not be free until the enchanted wood is destroyed. Osmond enters, intent on seducing Emmeline for himself, having drugged his master Oswald. Osmond tries to win Emmeline over by showing her a masque acted by spirits. He conjures up a vision of "Yzeland" and "farthest Thule....." BRAVI from Acapulco
How do you compare apples and oranges? Mead brings an emotion that is often forgotten. In his interpretation there is a feeling of terror at the start. This is so appropriate for The Spirit of Winter, suddenly woken and in the confused state we all feel when our sleep is disturbed like this. As the song progresses, the terror disappears and is replaced by anger, the hint of a threat. It is the Spirit who is cold, but he could easily turn that on us, the listener. Orliński's performance considers that he is The Spirit of Winter, an all-powerful creature of the cold. He exudes arrogance at the thought of being disturbed from sleep. His "What power..." holds a hint of menace, a "just wait until I get hold of you..." threat. His interpretation is not that of a Spirit that is cold and shivering, but of a Spirit used to spreading the cold. The quality of his voice suggests that the cold is spreading from him, and that all around will be shivering soon. Scholl gives a more traditional interpretation of the song. The cold surrounds his Spirit, but does not threaten us, the listener. There is less of a threat, and more the feeling of an ancient one pleading to be left alone. There is the hint that this is not the Spirit's time, but "be very careful when I have my full power." Three excellent interpretations of this song, but it's not possible to say that one is better than another. They are each conveying equally valid reactions by The Spirit of Winter who feels abused by the inappropriate awakening he has experienced.
I've just been in the biggest rabbit hole listening to versions of this. Most, however aurally nice, I wrote off because it was impossible to make out any words. All these 3 were pretty comprehensible. Purely on personal taste, I'd probably go Scholl.
Sono tre grandi interpreti, ognuno con il suo carattere e la sua esperienza. Personalmente ho trovato veramente suggestivo Andreas Scholl, fa rabbrividire dal freddo! L'orchestrazuone migliore ritengo sia quella di Orlinski: tagliente, metallica secca priva di vistose armonizzazioni sui tempi forti della battuta. La tensione orchestrale è affidata solo agli archi, e alle gelide dissonanze interne ad ogni ottavo puntato. Esemplare!
This aria has been my first chance meeting with Purcell's King Arthur and impressed me a lot for it's originality and evocative power. I wanted to listen to the whole opera and I found it amazing. So, thank you for posting these three beautiful renditions. The Orlinsky's one is very v
Sorry for the inconvenience, the previous message was incomplete. I wanted to say that the accompaniment of Orlinsky's version has something harsh in it, which is certainly intentional, due to the meaning of the scene, but not very refined. I'm fond of his singing for the innovative style. School performs like an amazing actor, not only a great singer and the music is powerful and accurate at the same time. Very good Tim Mead's version too. Fond greetings from Italy.

Each to his own, but for me Orlinski raises this piece to new heights. Something about the intensity of his performance I think.

Gérard Lesne, no doubt.
I get most cold with Andreas Scholls interpretation 🥶

Klaus Nomi.
All these interpretations honor Purcell's genius. A splendid piece.
Andreas Scholl!
No one can match Gérard Lesne.
Andreas really did convey the feeling of freezing bitter cold to the point of evoking poignant pathos.
With Andreas I feel the icy cold in my bones. He not only sings the part, he embodies the character
Klaus Nomi. The best version I’ve ever heard.

Who is Klaus Nomi ?

Orlinski, closely followed by Tim Mead…but then there’s Gerard Lesne !!!
I think Klaus Nomi is the best! He died at the age of 39 in 1983, that was a great lost for opera and Purcell's songs!
Jakub Józef is the Prince of baroque
All versions are beyond words, but at least for my generation Klaus Nomi is epic... forever 🥀

All superbly talented indeed ... but I thought the solo line was written for a bass, no?
Jakub Jozef Orlinski.I like that his voice is like fluid and there is so much emotion in it!
The best performer of this work is Gerard Lesne
Pour le peu que je connaisse c'est pour moi une évidence.
Andreas Scholl! One feels he is able to withdraw as a person and let the music flow through him from upper regions.
Scholl
Andeas Scholl by far.
Scholl is the original. Everyone else follows
Klaus Nomi!

There is a difference between superb singing and chilling interpretation and understanding of the role. So always Andreas Scholl.
Tim Mead for the lightness of his voice that contrasts with the heavy instrumentation.
I wasn't expecting too, but I liked Tim Meads version the best.
Who sings it the best? Klaus Nomi, hands down, no question.

Yep.

Andreas Scholl: Gravitas and supreme intelligence
Absence of chest voice.

Andreas Scholl wins this one as he not only sings beautifully but performs being frozen cold as well. All three are magnificent singers though!
Orlinski. Dès la première note.

He sounded like a machine.
