You know you are in the UK when its raining cats and dogs and people just sit around casually on a field listening to an open air concert like there is no tomorrow.
This happens in Wales. Bryn is singing fifty miles from his home and it obviously didn't have the publicity back then, and he was protesting against Cardiff - you can't get tickets for Bangor now. But at every Eisteddfodd in every small village you can hear arias sung by good singers to an appreciative audience - we need to preserve this tradition to give the Bryn Terfels a chance.
Bryn was the very first Don Giovanni I ever saw on a Metropolitan Opera DVD production when I first got interested in opera. His performance made me fall in love with this opera. And now I’m enjoying his 2011 run as Wotan in the Ring Cycle 😀
КРАСАВЕЦ !!! великолепно исполнение просто класс необыкновенный ,сильный голос поет как дышит без напряжения слушать одно удовольствие .тембр голоса неподражаем потому как естественен.ОГРОМНОЕ СПАСИБО.
Great performance by Bryn, as usual. I'm never tired of listening to him. Even his speaking voice has an enormous and so powerful resonance it's almost distracting haha..not the mention his good looks and incredible facial expressions. He's a true and complete artist! :) And he calls me at 2'51"! haha or the dark, brunettes, as it's the meaning of my italian name :)
One can't criticize perfection, at least I can't. Terfel uses language for its purpose, to transmit meaning. He is always very secure of technique and we understand every word he sings. I admire his singing in all occasions that I have heard him. Bravo Bryn.
This guy has more music in his little finger than the whole TH-cam peanut gallery put together. No doubt none of the herein critics could come close to him if they had a millennium to try. They should be on their knees thanking their gods that a Bryn Terfel even exists.
I came across Bryn Terfel quite recently and he is one of my favourite bass-baritone!....and last but not least, his Italian pronunciation is perfect and clear; amazing!
Sir Bryn and Mr Dimitri Hvorostovsky were pitted against one another in the 1989 BBC Cardiff Singer of the World competition, which the Russian won and the Welshman was awarded the Lieder Prize. You can find some of their iconic winning performances here on TH-cam.
What strikes me is that he sings as if he were at the Met but this is a Welsh village audience - this is how it was - you had to sing to impress the adjudicators in each village, and they were picky, and respected musicians, but what a good education!
Great voice. I really like Terfel, is by far the best baribass nowadays, i don't agree with those comparing his instrument with others great singers of the past. I go to the Opera house every time there's a new production, and the theatre of my city (the Teatro Petruzzelli) is in the top five of Italian halls. Never heard something even similar to Bryn, even from the most popular artists. Plus, although i'm not a professional musician, i'm a bass-baritone myself, so I can judge voices. Actually, Bryn's detractors aren't real music experts. And his Italian is quite perfect!
Marina Samoylovich The older I get the more I have to agree with you, Marina... In essence I find all women beautiful!! (But I love paying out on the British now and then...)
Madamina, il catalogo è questo Delle belle che amò il padron mio; un catalogo egli è che ho fatt’io; Osservate, leggete con me.

Από την κωμική όπερα του Μότσαρτ Don Giovani, ο Bryn Terfel στο απόσπασμα Madamina, με πολύ ωραία σχόλια προ του τραγουδιού, που από την μία χαλαρώνουν το κοινό και από την άλλη (μαρτυρούν) και το ιστορικό της υπόθεσης της όπερας. Όταν ο άνθρωπος αγαπά αυτό που κάνει, δίνει τον καλύτερο εαυτό του, αποτελώντας παράδειγμα προς παραδειγματισμό. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Don Giovani.
Don Giovanni didn't really "love" women. He used them, then threw them away like old worn shoes. Or whatever. But if you know the opera and watched it till the end, you know what became of Giovanni... well deserved :) Great performance by Bryn, as usual. :)
ah Marlene, I can sense your hate about the SEX oriented men. Big, big... BIG problem this difference between the Women's desire for Love and emotional approach and the strong, animalistic Men's urge to just have sex and go to the next woman, ha ?
@Masassonia si sta cantando in modo diverso rispetto al solito....forse è il contesto meno serio che lo ha spinto a cantare in un modo diciamo meno tecnico...e poi come vedi si mette pure a scherzare...dai comunque è particolare
My dear lady, this is a list Of the beauties my master has loved, A list which I have compiled. Observe, read along with me. In Italy, six hundred and forty; In Germany, two hundred and thirty-one; A hundred in France; in Turkey, ninety-one; But in Spain already one thousand and three. Among these are peasant girls, Maidservants, city girls, Countesses, baronesses, Marchionesses, princesses, Women of every rank, Every shape, every age. With blondes it is his habit To praise their kindness
+Spikey Husky - Yes, in the story of the opera, Leperello is singing this aria to Donna Elvira who is from Spain, one of the 1003, she is of course disgusted and commits herself to get Don Giovanni to repent of his ways (he does not repent in the end and the earth opens up and he descends to hell straight away).
I'm not saying he hasn't sung better. But this art is always prone to static, imation, etc... I think that he still sings it in a way that a lot of young bass-baritones would envy. If not technically flawless, he still has command of his instrument. Enough to do what he really WANTS to do, I think...... act. perform. tell a story. And whatever else you want to say about it. He makes it his own.
Yes, they do. It's a simplification to sing it better. It just sounds better to sing "milletre" instead of "mille-e-tre" with paused breaths in between. :)
absolutely brilliant!! What a man!!!
Nato per questo ruolo .Voce ,figura ,sense of humour e musicalità della più bell 'acqua .BRAVO !

Thank you Mozart, thank you Bryn! I love this aria!

Меня так же, Брин познакомил меня с прекрасным миром оперы,я его всегда буду приветствовать!
Bryn is far and away my favorite Bass-Baritone. He has so much fun playing with the music and lyrics...so animated. I love it.
I kinda agree, however his personality somehow is not convenient for me...
Love this singer, this composer, this opera and this aria...
Wonderful... He sings with pleasure!!! Great voice...
Tökéletes színészi játék!!! Akár humor, akár DRÁMA! SZUPER!!!
КРАСАВЕЦ !!! великолепно исполнение просто класс необыкновенный ,сильный голос поет как дышит без напряжения слушать одно удовольствие .тембр голоса неподражаем потому как естественен.ОГРОМНОЕ СПАСИБО.
c est vraiment un grand baryton très expressif !! je l adore
Molto bravo...
Molto simpatico...
Ottima pronuncia...
A real good job, Bryn... Bravo !!! :-) :-)
Such charisma, and such a magnificent voice. This really shows it off, too. Thank you!!!
Love his voice so much! If you ever get the chance to see the clip of him singing "Va, Tosca!", please try it. It's absolutely terrifying!!
A magnificent portrayal of Mozart's Leperello, but then Bryn is always magnificent. Mozart is always impeccable. Together they are unbeatable.
Great performance by Bryn, as usual. I'm never tired of listening to him. Even his speaking voice has an enormous and so powerful resonance it's almost distracting haha..not the mention his good looks and incredible facial expressions. He's a true and complete artist! :)

Si señor ¡con dos cojones! Qué gran barítono y que gran teatralidad y simpatía.
One can't criticize perfection, at least I can't. Terfel uses language for its purpose, to transmit meaning. He is always very secure of technique and we understand every word he sings. I admire his singing in all occasions that I have heard him. Bravo Bryn.
Excellent ! :D J'adore son jeu, il prend vraiment du plaisir à chanter, c'est jubilatoire !
Absolutely fantastic. Thanks for putting this up.
Il miglior Leporello di tutti i tempi! Troppo simpatico!
This guy has more music in his little finger than the whole TH-cam peanut gallery put together. No doubt none of the herein critics could come close to him if they had a millennium to try. They should be on their knees thanking their gods that a Bryn Terfel even exists.
This guy has more written names of the women than we can imagine XD
I love Bryn! he's just perfect for Leporello! He blows everyone else out of the water.
I came across Bryn Terfel quite recently and he is one of my favourite bass-baritone!....and last but not least, his Italian pronunciation is perfect and clear; amazing!

This is what professionalism and passion look like !
Very impressive in so many ways.
I bet Mozart would be superhappy with this interpretation..lol..great example of professionalism!
This is not a professional aria. It's about a servant documenting his master's insanity. It's a fun one to sing nonetheless.
i really appreciate Bryn, great interpretation
I loved him as the Don Giovanni and as Leporello he is completely different. Thanks :)
Great voice. I really like Terfel, is by far the best baribass nowadays, i don't agree with those comparing his instrument with others great singers of the past. I go to the Opera house every time there's a new production, and the theatre of my city (the Teatro Petruzzelli) is in the top five of Italian halls.

Very good! it''s great pleasure to hear him singing the Leporello part. Thanks for this chance.
Another proof of Mozart's genius in the musical profession.
Great, great, great performance. Very charming.
A song I would love to hear Bryn sing!! :-)
Stunning. To be honest, he could sing anything and I would be mesmerized. I wish my little Welsh grandmother had heard him sing.
What a Voice ...Bravo Bravo
What a music!! Bravo 👏 👏 👏
귀하의 의견에 감사드립니다.
Thanks for your kind comment😀
Très grand chanteur et sympathique en plus
I love him!. And I Iove listen to him in Tosca.
Блеск!!!! БРАВО!! БРАВО!!!👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
Gran Gran cantante bryn terfel.

Great voice, thank you for uploading! :-)
Uma maravilha... Wonderful!
Parece mentira que siendo uno de los mas grandes, tenga esa simpatía y cercanía con el público. Bravo maestro.
Porque no habria de tenerla ? mira a Hvorostovsky,Javier Camarena
excellent! Bravo!
Excellent performance....
What a lovable Leporello. He is as good as he is Scarpia.
Il mio Don Giovanni preferito.
assolutamente
Rosangela Hosni = 20/10/2022 - BRASIL- Sao Paulo = great performance = wonderfull
So charming!
I am glad you enjoyed it. Many thanks. :)
I always appreciate how Bryn acts the hell out of his arias.
Bravo!
He s a showman, bravo
Bravo Sir Bryn Terfel .
Io la devo recitare a scuola e per impararla a memoria ascolto solo questa perché è quella che si capisce meglio bravissimo
Muy simpático!!

Una bella interpretazione
Great!!!
Many thanks :)
Wat mooi !!!!!!!!!
A MIMIKA! BRAVÚROS!!!
Notice that he left british women well alone.
Good call, don.
So he did the Polish ones...they were not so easy to fool ;-).
Anna NN They were ugly.
So were the British. Way too ugly.
yakshaver shavemyyak No woman was ugly to Don.
Marina Samoylovich The older I get the more I have to agree with you, Marina... In essence I find all women beautiful!! (But I love paying out on the British now and then...)
Estou contente que você gostou. obrigado
Love him or not, most characteristic performance of the Madamina. If you have any better alternatives, please write them below.
Peter Mattei
@@annagunthernestrahl8444 When did Mattei sing Leporello? You don’t Even know what to compare...
Ferruccio Furlanetto is incredible as Leporello
I. Love. Bryn. Terfel.
Madamina, il catalogo è questo
Delle belle che amò il padron mio;
un catalogo egli è che ho fatt’io;
Osservate, leggete con me.
In Italia seicento e quaranta;
In Almagna duecento e trentuna;
Cento in Francia, in Turchia novantuna;
Ma in Ispagna son già mille e tre.
V’han fra queste contadine,
Cameriere, cittadine,
V’han contesse, baronesse,
Marchesine, principesse.
Класс.
What fun.
@killershrew1 I am pleased you liked it. Many thanks.
He always has been more of a baritone than a bass-baritone, but yeah, his voice seems even lighter here.
E v’han donne d’ogni grado,
D’ogni forma, d’ogni età.
Nella bionda egli ha l’usanza
Di lodar la gentilezza,
Nella bruna la costanza,
Nella bianca la dolcezza.
Vuol d’inverno la grassotta,
Vuol d’estate la magrotta;
È la grande maestosa,
La piccina è ognor vezzosa.
Delle vecchie fa conquista
Pel piacer di porle in lista;
Sua passion predominante
È la giovin principiante.
Non si picca - se sia ricca,
Se sia brutta, se sia bella;
Purché porti la gonnella,
Voi sapete quel che fa.
Grandezza di Byrn ma anche di Mozart per la musica e Da Ponte per il. Testo
He went to music college with my singing teacher!

Very good italian pronunciation🇮🇹
Don Giovanni sounds like a "Nice Guy".
It's Leporelo's aria
Brilliant!! 00:20lqtms:-D
@Masassonia si sta cantando in modo diverso rispetto al solito....forse è il contesto meno serio che lo ha spinto a cantare in un modo diciamo meno tecnico...e poi come vedi si mette pure a scherzare...dai comunque è particolare
Would love to know what he is saying. So beautiful.
fatchick41 How many girls Don Giovanni f*cked all across Europe.
Anyone else notice the paralell with "where is the life that late I led" -- KissMe Kate, Cole Porter?
@thesir27 it would be weird if it was a concert hall or a theatre. this is open air... very bad acoustic conditions
My dear lady, this is a list
Of the beauties my master has loved,
A list which I have compiled.
Observe, read along with me.
In Italy, six hundred and forty;

Among these are peasant girls,
Maidservants, city girls,
Countesses, baronesses,
Marchionesses, princesses,
Women of every rank,
Every shape, every age.
With blondes it is his habit
To praise their kindness
Bravo, ma il mio preferito resta Ferruccio Furlanetto.
Antonella Cesarini Concordo pienamente!!! Però Bryn é simpaticissimo! 😁
in spain he had 1003 ladies?
+Spikey Husky - Yes, in the story of the opera, Leperello is singing this aria to Donna Elvira who is from Spain, one of the 1003, she is of course disgusted and commits herself to get Don Giovanni to repent of his ways (he does not repent in the end and the earth opens up and he descends to hell straight away).
+Spikey Husky Yes)))
Better 3000 ;-)
mile tres.....
milletre is 1003 (one thousand and three) (in Italian)
mil cuatro XD! creativo XD

When they sing "mille e tre" are they slurring the last "e" of mille with "e" of "and"?
Like saying "mil-le-tre"?
Yes, they do. It's a simplification to sing it better. It just sounds better to sing "milletre" instead of "mille-e-tre" with paused breaths in between. :)
Linguistically it's called euphony.
