The student singer is absolutely superb! Just the right amount of expression and beautiful control with the vibrato. Such an inspiring video, only heard of Thomas Quasthoff anout 10 minutes and now i'm hooked!

First of all, I have never watched a video where Thomas didn’t interrupt the student mid song. Secondly, this singer’s legato in the German piece is astounding! German is so syllabic it takes true mastery to make it sound like one line. Bravo!

Thanks for this video, I could only imagine what it would be like to be in Thomas Quasthoff's studio. And the tip about adding the consonant before the beat is so true, especially in German. My Chorale professor is constantly reminding us of that, so It was nice to hear it from yet another voice.

@maxpertile Caro Massimiliano, è un piacere discutere con Lei a questo alto livello di competenza. "De gustibus non est disputandum" - Bonisolli (senza "n"!), Corelli, Del Monaco, Merli, e Barioni per il mio gusto cantavano troppo fortemente. Gli altri tenori che elenca mi piacciono molto come tenori di opera. Parlando di nasalità: Lauri Volpi usava questo altro fattore di risonanza estensivamente - mantenendo la sua voce giovanile fine ad un' alta età. "Mezza voce": Sì, quello si chiama m.v.

@FranzFischerSDG 7 жыл бұрын

Wonderful. a couple of suggestions. 1. The timber of the sound should be a bit more rounder with less pointed placement because of the poem. 2. Should have more ANTICIPATION in important words long before actual beat and need more in important voiced consonants such as L, M, N, V and Z. 3. open "i" is different from closed "e" such as "mit", "sinkest" are open "i" and "kehret" is closed "e". lastly remember when two words become one, the accent on the second word shift to the first word such as in Mondlicht instead of Mond Licht.

@maxpertile It's part of the way of getting into the head resonances. I personally don't have the impression of too much nasality. Better a bit of nose than none at all (like Jonas Kaufmann, for example...). But, yes, the nose should not be heard isolated. This tenor, however, is on a very, very good way. Imagine, it's not his mothertongue. So he has my full understanding that some diction is not perfectly natural. Imagine myself singing Korean - no way. A. from Uri, Switzerland.

@maxpertile Penso che una "voce tagliando come una spada" non sarebbe lo stile che sia adeguato a questo Lied... Poi, l'assunto che il vecchio belcanto sfortunatamente sia estinto e perduto per sempre, io non lo assecondo. C'erano bravissime cantante e bravissimi cantanti a Vienna attraverso le 1905, bravissimi anche a la Metropolitan attraverso le 1910, e ci sono anche bravissime cantante e bravissimi cantanti oggi, comparabile all' altissimo livello. Il "belcanto morto" - per me è un mito.

@maxpertile Con tutto rispetto che quello genere di teatro-musica che più tardi si chiamava "opera" fu iniziato in Firenze (Camerata de' Bardi) e fra pochi dicenni si diffondeva sopra quasi tutti i principati italiani, l'assunto che per natura "gli Italiani capiscono un' pò dell' arte di canto" non lo assecondo mai generalmente. In Italia, ho fatto l'esperienza di ottimi ed anche bruttissimi "maestri" di canto, come ho fatto l'esperienza di ottimi maestri in Austria, Germania, Stati Uniti.

@ONeirda 12 жыл бұрын

Sono molto d'accordo con Lei che il signor Kaufmann non canta di maniera sana. Per il mio gusto, mancha appunto quello che Lei probabilmente (ed anche io) stimo nelle voci di Gigli, Kraus, Martinelli, Björling, e Lauri Volpi: il flusso libero dello squillo, il clangore colorato e frescho. Sono cresciuto ascoltando a registrazioni di Gigli mille volte. Ho quasi assorbito la sua voce in tutte le sue faccette. Oggi, adoro anche Gedda e Kraus. E poi naturalmente anche Wunderlich.

@maxpertile Ich gebe Ihnen so recht! Quasthoff aeusserte sich z.B. ueber Bocelli mit: "Davon bekomme ich Pickel"! Ich jedenfalls brauche keinen deutschen Lehrer und tue das lieber autodidaktisch. Gerne wuerde ich mir einen italienischen Lehrer wuenschen, da die auch in der Lage sind dramatische Stimmen auszubilden! Nichts aber gegen die deutsche Gesangstechnik insofern, da sie das probateste Mittel gegen "Schlafstoerungen" ist!
