Edvard Grieg : "Våren" (Last Spring) - Håkan Hagegård

[1155north]

Håkan Hagegård is a baritone in the same style as Dietrich Fischer Dieskau, who used to sing many of Schubert's songs in the original (tenor) key. But he IS a baritone, none-the-less. You can hear it in other things he sings. He sings this beautifully.

Hagegård a tenor? My hearing must be going...

[FiDiTanzer528]

@OlDoinyo

No, your hearing isn't going, but someone else's must be. :)

this piece is so beautiful...always loved Grieg

Good to hear it sung by a tenor, but I would not interpret the closing line of each verse with the sudden forcefulness which he imposes. The last two lines in the third verse, especially, do NOT call for the way he attacks them. On the contrary, he's singing about how all of nature is sighing...that is not a robust sentiment.

Superb! Beautifully put together--the music (so beautifully and sensitively sung by Mr. Hagegard)-- the pictures, which fit the music perfectly. This song is so sad, but so very beautiful. Thank you for such a beautiful presentation.

This is really beautiful. I like long songs, where you have time to "get into the mood" of the song. Beautifully done, as always!

Hay una e recopilacion de interpretaciones de este excelente bartiono de la casa RCA ,bajo el titulo: " Schuman Liederkreis,opus 39 and Eight Songs ".El disco fue lanzado en 1986 y le hace honor a la voz de este baritono poco conocido ,pero de excelentes cualidades interpretativas.

Thank you so much Karen for posting this up, this is one of my favourite pieces by Grieg! Hagegård is sensational here, he sings with the most heartfelt feelings & Jones provides an equal balance!! This is an exceptional illustration of the Last Spring.

[joanabanyeres]

j ai des lieds de Grieg mais je ne sais pas très bien comment les chanter. j'adore Kirsten. une voix comme nous n'en avons plus et elle était une très belle femme, son portrait était sur le couronnes. Une découverte ce baryton merci Claude

[ioSonoCallas]

Quelle belle musique si magnifiquement chanté par Håkan Hagegård que j'ai eu le plaisir d'entendre en récital il y a plusieurs années.

De beaux paysages, une nature luxuriante, c'est vraiment très beau, tout comme nombre de vos vidéos Claude!

Merci beaucoup de partager toutes belles vidéos.

[lyennai]

Wonderful!

I thought this isn't DFD. Then I went into a trance. I think I heard the singer yearning strongly a couple of times, but the pianist would have none of that and maintained the idyll for him and for us. Then it was time to wake up and write something. Truly beautiful music making.

[FiDiTanzer528]

You're too funny, Barry. I have to give DFD a rest sometimes. :) Anyway, he never sang this gorgeous song.

[oakroom48]

Karen, Thank you so much! Håkan sings so beautifully. Didn't know this song [I'm culturally deprived] - as always, ravishingly beautiful video!! How you manage them is a sweet mystery to me:) -b xx

[FiDiTanzer528]

Thanks, my friend. He does have a gorgeous sound. I'm beginning to really like listening to the Norwegian language too.

[oakroom48]

>Norwegian language - Almost Russianesque sometimes. You're welcome - beautiful! :)

[mutewoman]

Thank you, Barbara, for sharing this with me; thank you, Karen, for sharing this with the world.

What a wonderful song, what a wonderful singer (I only knew him as Pagageno), what a wonderful video!!

[FiDiTanzer528]

Don't you just love his voice? I've seen that Papageno too but he made many wonderful Lieder recordings. I have one more of him on my channel singing Grieg's "En svane".

[megansspark]

good one, Karen... lovely!

[FiDiTanzer528]

Thanks, m'dear. Grieg's songs are really marvelous.
