an opera singer and a voice teacher here..... this gal did beautifully! Accompanist slowed waaaaaayyyy down. If this was the intended tempo, take it from the beginning.
Hannah did a gorgeous version of "Glitter and be Gay", but "Exsultate, Jubilate" is simply too much for her. Of course it's always a challenge to sing Mozart, it requires perfect coloratura technique( legatto, staccatto, trills, glissando, passagios, cadenzas, etc), supreme breath control, pitched pianos, perfect pianissimos and that among many other things. Let's face it, she doesn't have any of those things. Indeed she have a lovely voice, but only with the proper training she could be great!
Appreciate the input. In general you're correct but there are always exceptions and she is one of them. This was 3 years ago when she was 14. She has since won many vocal contests and scholarships including the University of Kentucky's Schmidt Vocal Competition and is a Silver Award Winner for the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts YoungArts Competition for Voice. Her voice teacher is married to the famous baritone Sherrill Milnes and they both feel she can handle these pieces.
I am sorry the voice teacher in me is coming out...
Nice job but little to young to be doing this piece and certainly NOT in front of a MICROPHONE!!!! You have to learn True Breath support and projection by doing it withOUT the mic.
I also really like the way she sings the "lelui" part of Alleluia when she sings the whole word. It may not be the right pronounciation, but I just thought the way that this singer (Hannah) did it was very nice and melodic. Congrats!
I hope she stays on this path (classical/operatic) and doesn't sing bad pop songs instead that are beneath her.
nicely executed for a teenager, I feel that you will excel greatly with age. And then you can take this piece at its original tempo. Good luck to you.
Depending on the hall, she might not have gotten very far without it... Perhaps the stage mics wouldn't have picked it up. We have a concert hall at my school that is designed for commercial performances - unfortunately, sometimes classical singers are forced to use it and it is akin to singing into a sock! This hall might have been designed for mics?
