kedem berger I can guarantee that the harmony is mistaken in some sections; as if this organist was improvising. Totally sloppy and inappropriate. Unforgivable as an accompaniment for such a beautiful voice

What a joy it is to see how he continues to nurture and develop his gifts. Dear Aksel, please continue to include religious works in your repertoire, and thank you so much for continuing to post videos on your channel when you can! ... A bit more often would be very nice :)

@garywait3231 4 жыл бұрын

Sung with great confidence. Technically true to Handel; spiritually moving; and perfectly ornamented, in all the right places, and without intruding the self-displaying fireworks that can so disappointingly mar the reverently awesome mood of this piece. Overall a very satisfying experience, both artistically and spiritually. Somehow the traditional "BRAVOS " seem inadequate, but words all we have. I hope to hear you sing it again when you've perfected your baritone range!!

I wonder how much time Aksel spends practising day by day. Does he go to regular school?

@AkselRykkvin 7 жыл бұрын

I go to a regular school which has special classes for classical music talents, where we get a lot of extra music classes, both individual lessons and in groups. It is called Music@Majorstuen and it is just great! I suppose I sing for a couple of hours every day, but this could be either singing lessons, choir rehearsals, opera rehearsals, performances or practise at home.

Thank you for sharing your talent with us again, Aksel! One question. How high cab you sing? Can you sing the queen of the night from the Magic Flute?

@AkselRykkvin 9 жыл бұрын

SAKI777LEWISJAPAN Thank you! I can produce some sound at the high F required for the Queen of the Night, but the highest note I regularly use is high C (Alleluia by Mozart, Miserere mei by Allegri).

@SAKI777LEWISJAPAN 9 жыл бұрын

Aksel Johannes Skramstad Rykkvin Wow! What a great news you can hit such a high note, Aksel! If you don't mind, can you please upload the video of your singing Miserere? I really like the song and want to listen to how it's going to be. The practice or rehearsal version is fine.

@rikardrykkvin2031 9 жыл бұрын

SAKI777LEWISJAPAN I love Miserere myself. Aksel did the soprano in the quartet part in Nidaros Cathedral on Long Friday earlier this year, but unfortunately we don´t have a recording that we can put out on KZfaq. Maybe next time. In the meantime, enjoy the Alleluia version that I just uploaded :) He struggled with the high C at that time, though.

If I hadn't been so much into doing opera roles, I probably would have had more time to albums. Also, if I did albums with treble and organ, it would have been easier to do more. In the end, I am very happy with those two I did with orchestras.

Forgive your fans for crying "More, more, more". I do understand that you have been working for a long-term career as an adult and that was obviously the sensible way to go. It would, however be so sad if your years as a treble were to fade away into the mist of time which has been the fate of so many talented young men. Thank goodness we now have KZfaq etc for a while at least.
