This was really well done as this aria is so bizarre as a composition. Her rhythm is perfect and I think the brighter more soubrette voices work best in this role. Fuller lyric sopranos sound to middle aged to be convincing. The aspect of Hannigan and her self-conducting really work in certain pieces where usually the conductor ignores the voice. Here we are able to enjoy the piece ideally nuanced and conducted by the actual soloist. Fascinating.

I'd say she specializes in the bizarre region of opera.

@geoffwalker9392 6 жыл бұрын

Rhythm not quite perfect - she misses the syncopation on the high g at 7.06 and it sounds wrong. But, that aside, it is a magnificent interpretation.

@Highinsight7 3 жыл бұрын

@@geoffwalker9392 a few little other tiny little things as well... BUT that's all probably due to the "conducting" issue... she'd nail the SHIT out of this aria if her hands weren't so busy... singing is all about breath and energy... and when you're using so many techniques at one time... for two totally different disciplines... "occasionally" something got ta give... I've played a piano concert ONCE from the bench while conducting... I used my head a lot... you can't do that here... ALL this being said... she's simply amazing!

No word from Tom Has love no voice, can love not keep A Maytime vow in cities? Fades it as the rose Cut for a rich display? Forgot! But no, to weep is not enough He needs my help Love hears, Love knows Love answers him across the silent miles, and goes Quietly, night O find him and caress And may thou quiet find His heart, although it be unkind Nor may its beat confess Although I weep, although I weep, although I weep It knows, it knows of loneliness Guide me, O moon Chastely when I depart And warmly be the same He watches without grief or shame It cannot, cannot be thou art A colder moon, a colder moon upon a colder heart My father! Can I desert him And his devotion for a love who has deserted me? No, my father has strength of purpose While Tom is weak and needs the comfort of a helping hand O God, protect dear Tom, support my father, and strengthen my resolve I go, I go to him Love cannot falter Cannot desert Though it be shunned Or be forgotten Though it be hurt If Love be love It will not alter Though it be shunned Or be forgotten Though it be hurt If love be love It will not alter If love be love If love be love It will not alter It will not alter It will not alter O should I see My love in need It shall not matter It shall not matter What he may be I go, I go to him Love cannot falter Cannot desert Cannot falter Cannot desert Cannot desert Time cannot alter Cannot, cannot, cannot alter A loving heart An ever loving heart

okay... I've played a piano concerto while conducting from the bench... BUT this ... truly looks TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE...

When were singers ever not considered musicians?

@violinhunter2 6 жыл бұрын

JB - I would say between 1550 and 1950? It was said many, many times as a joke, especially during orchestral rehearsals, when singers were not present.... Sort of like when female fiddle players were seen as an oddity and not taken seriously. Indeed, some very accomplished female professional concert violinists gave up their careers as soon as they got married or as soon as they had kids. :-)

@violinhunter2 6 жыл бұрын

Many instrumentalists have gotten into the conducting racket but it is so much more practical for singers because they don't have to wield a fiddle or a clarinet or a recorder or a piano while waving their arms about everywhere. I believe more singers will soon follow Barbara's example.

@Microcurseex 6 жыл бұрын

violinhunter2 source? Not for the sexism bit from back in the day but for people not respecting vocalists. I always got the impression that if anything singers were MORE respected than instrumentalists not less

@mattyd3079 2 жыл бұрын

Exquisite and beautiful singing. And great conducting. Not sure it should be done at the same time, though. I want to watch and listen to a singer who is absorbed by the character, and I'm kind of distracted from doing that because she's conducting at the same time. It makes the performance less enjoyable for me.

What an absolutely amazing orchestra that plays this intricate and difficult music to perfection. They don’t need a conductor. She gave cues but doesn’t count as a conductor in this clip. She’s great, tho!

@PS-vm3we 2 ай бұрын

Of course they need a conductor, giving cues is one of the main things a conductor does! Yes there are bars where they’re a jukebox, but all good musicians can keep a steady rhythm on their own.

@christophersokolowski 4 жыл бұрын

The truth is, she would sing better more comfortably if she wasn’t conducting, and the orchestra would be more comfortable if there was a conductor :-) Not to mention, with the recapitulation of “I go to him” where she miscounted and almost had real disaster, with a conductor, they would have been able to help her 😝 Brava nonetheless. An impressive feat of coordination at least.

@arnastubuttwehak994 6 жыл бұрын

Uh huh? And what specifically is it that you don't approve of and would do differently, if you were in charge? Musically, I mean. I'm sure would stand there waving your hands around with your backside presented to the audience, looking like the sort of conductor that someone like you would approve of, but performance presentation aside, what would you prefer, in the realisation of this piece?

@olivierkeegel 6 жыл бұрын

A childish reaction. What would I do when I was in charge? Step down and ask a real director. I know I do not have the expertise "to be in charge". This clown has not reached that level of wisdom yet.

@arnastubuttwehak994 6 жыл бұрын

If you can't say what you don't like about the interpretation, or the coordination of the band, you're not actually saying anything at all. You don't understand what a conductor actually does, evidently. Aim for that level of wisdom first, perhaps, before passing your naive judgement on someone who does.

@olivierkeegel 6 жыл бұрын

You asked me what I would do, and I gave you the answer. I have been a musical journalist for 35 years, I have a degree in Musicology, I interviewed Haitink and Solti, but you're right, I haven't a clue what a director does. So much for my naive judgment. I have nothing against the way the orchestra plays, it would have been playing the same if there wasn't some clown in front of them waving her arms.

@arnastubuttwehak994 6 жыл бұрын

+STV haha, you're full of shit. Wtf is a "musical journalist"? A journalist who can play Greensleeves on the nose flute? You can't even write "music journalist" without fucking it up. And you thought asking you what was actually wrong with the performance, according to you, was "childish"? And you think an orchestra just sits down with some sheet music, and comes up with a coherent, balanced performance that is somehow going to be different, better, something unspecified, with a proper conductor who will show them with his hands and his baton and his magnificent hair just how it should go, on the night of the performance? You have a degree in Musicology and are a "musical journalist" and yet you simply don't know what to say about the actual interpretation of the piece, because you're not a conductor, but you have a feeling that whatever the heck is going on, it would be just as good without a conductor? Lol. You interviewed Solti! That must have been a treat for him. What was your question for him - "Can you autograph my program?"

Amazing talent but one should focus in doing one thing at a time. She should focus in being Anne here... this arrangement, letting her doing both singing and conducting seriously lacking one important matter. i am impressed with her talent but she faild to touch my heart. I was distracted. It is not "someone has talent "show. Art should touch people's heart. not showing off what one can do all in one moment.
