The instrument was originally known as the pianoforte. Unfortunately, the impromptu iPhone recording picks up more of the accompaniment than the superb vocalist.
@@nmccw3245 That is actually incorrect, The problem lies with Cai he is not projecting loud enough. This can happen through the teen voice transition, still good to see him back performing.
A future world class in the making, well done keep up the excellent work, nothing like wonderful music ,Opera/all those wonderful great Choral works all with. in the reach Cai.
Funny that his old treble Suo Gan came up on my feed the other night. So good to hear him now as a fine baritone. Hope someday to see him at Opera Santa Fe where we go every year or somewhere else. I am sure he will have a fine career.
Wonderful to watch you grow up and cultivate this extraordinary talent. So pleased to see you so healthy as well as gifted. Managing this magnificent talent while at such a changing time of life must be difficult. You are in my prayers. Best wishes.
Very enjoyable Cai, you have a wonderful and smooth voice that has almost reached its maturity. I could listen to you sing all day and hope that maybe there will be a chance of another album in the near future with a couple of tracks singing a duet with your younger self, or with Freddie. 👏👏👏👍👍👍
I hoped you would do this with some of your beautiful and atmospheric classical songs from your outstanding treble album 'Seren', Caì,and I am so thrilled to hear this lovely recording .Your voice is so strong now. .Every performance video you put out shows great vocal and expressive progress. ❤
Great to see and hear you again, getting acquainted with voice change has to be an interesting experience for you. With a bit of age and your great musicianship it will be a pleasure to watch your beautiful baritone develop but it would be even better to hear you a capella without any accompanist to overwhelm your voice.
Thats actually incorrect, as you can see the piano lid is closed and the pianist is playing at a normal volume. the problem is Cai, He is not projecting enough, which means you cannot hear him over the piano as you can see the recording is done closer to Cai then the piano so he should be louder as well. But it is still good to see him singing again and going through this teen transition.
@@theorangebanana11it’s nothing to do with how much cai is projecting. It is to do with the iphone mic and it picks up the piano more clearly than his voice. When i record my singing i have the same problem but has nothing to do with how loud i am actually singing
@@theorangebanana11 Projection is such a silly term. You don't want to project sound, you want to fill the space all around. That comes from having resonance in the voice before it leaves you. Going from a young soprano to a still-young baritone he has not yet grown into his still-developing adult resonance. At least he is not pushing to make a sound that is past his current abilities. There are some techniques to achieve that resonance that would serve him well, but that's between him and his voice teacher. They're both doing a great job.
That is incorrect. The problem lies with Cai he is not projecting loud enough. This can happen through the teen voice transition, still good to see him back performing.
@@theorangebanana11 You really don't know what you're talking about. "Project" is a term that has no relevance in the voice world. It's used by people who don't know what's really happening vocally. No reputable voice pedagogue would use that word.
Even with a phone you can get better balance. Just need to place the piano off axis. Had you been on the left looking towards Cai, the piano would have been in a much leader part of the microphone, and thus balance would be better. Not sure it would resolve the issue, but worth a try.
All these wannabe young 'singers' on TH-cam and Tiktok should watch this for a change! Only with perfect technique can one sing a difficult peace like this. All these weird chord and mood changes in the song: such a perfect day, or was it? ... Nice that you did this one again, now with your current bariton. It's already more steady then a year ago. Please make a Radio-Pop-version of this one!

@@theorangebanana11 : You are deluded. It is the sound engineer/editor' fault. If the point of the video is to hear the soloist, the video is improperly done if the accompanist is louder than the soloist. The pianist is quite professional and competent but his performance is not what we came to hear.
@@pilotusa They are using an iPhone, so there is no sound engineer. Iphones usually pick up what the person holding the phone is hearing. The lid on the piano is closed, I think projection may be an issue based on this and previous recordings. In any case, I don't know why people complain, these recordings are put up for free and are clearly ameteur recordings.
@@theorangebanana11 You are the one who is incorrect. Projection is a non-term in the singing world. This is about resonance, which happens INSIDE, not anything with pushing the sound out.
Hi. Unfortunately there’s not much we can do about this when recording on a phone. The pianist played the accompaniment very well and it only comes across too loud in the recording and not in real life. I hope to record some more pieces and to record them with better sound and picture quality. Thank you for watching this though 😊
Agree. To fund good accompanists is rare. Plus who is recording doesn't think to move the singer away from the piano. Really horrible recording and did no justice to the boy's lovely voice.
I always used to believe that "piano" meant "soft"! Beautiful singing, as always --- I wish I could hear more of it.

Thank you CAI. Your bariton voice is beautiful. You stil singing very well. Wish you the best.
What I can hear of you above the overwhelming accompaniment, is wonderful.

Thanks. One of VW’s most beautiful songs. A beautiful rendition by both!
Thanks for the wonderful song Cai.
It really made my day 😁

Amazing voice! 😃🙌🏽
So glad to see you made the transition so successfully! Keep up the great work young man!
Again, I have to praise an immaculate vocal technique.
What a bright and beautiful future you have young man!
Boy, bless your soul
Bravo Cai continue😊
Great voice! Been following you since "Only In Sleep" which is so haunting and beautiful. I listen to it often.
Good work work Cai, nice hear from you.

Sehr gut gesungen, tolle Stimme
NICE 🤩🌠✨✨✨Thomas 👍
Great work king
Lovely
Pięknie... Beautiful....
Aus einer wunderschönen Kinderstimme ist eine kraftvolle und schöne Männerstimme geworden 👍🥰
once again the piano is far too loud. I wanted to hear Cai singing, not being drowned out by the piano. Keep going Cai you have a beautiful voice.
Completely agree. The piano is awful.
This is a TH-cam problem apparently. I see it in many accompanist videos all of whom say it didn't sound that way live.

U have grown so much, now I know why grand parents say that!!!
Успеха!
couldn't hear you over the piano - Wish I could have
A lovely voice Cai, but drowned out by the piano - shame. You must keep up your singing - you will go far. Take care 🙂

Can we hear the singing please?
Apparently the mic is on the piano, not the boy! Could barely hear him>
Can people please stop complaining about the loud piano? I think it's been said enough.
What a shame yet again the piano is drowning out his voice, you're not doing Cai justice
It is very hard to get the balance right especially when recording on a phone, its not the pianist or cais fault
@@pheobewilson2383Perhaps with a singer of this quality it might be worth considering the use of something better than a phone. 😇
@@pheobewilson2383definitely

Cai- great singing - piano is too loud
Yes, I agree with an earlier comment - lovely voice, but overpowering piano accompan iment. Please remelmber to use the soft pedal!!
Beautiful voice. Again balance is wrong - turn the piano mic down. But thank you.
Piano is far too loud. We click on the link to hear Cai sing.

Sadly the piano is far too present over the singing voice. For heaven's sake pianist tone it down.

Piano too loud an sounds banging......Cai has sure grown since i watched him as little boy.....Sorry PLEASE tune that piano an play softer !!!!!!!

Really horrible recording and did no justice to the boy's lovely voice.
