Mahler Symphony No.8 2nd Movement Part 5

[Tobias15111985]

René Kollo as Marianus with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Vienna Sängerknaben conducted by Georg Solti. Anything else is crap. Send back Simon rattle to Birmingham.

Kenneth Riegel and Rene Kollo are the great marianus's of our time.

Blicket auf! Blicket auf! Alle reuig Zarten.

So moving! Was crying while watching this. This brings back the memory when I sang in this masterpiece. So far, I'd say that soprano Soile Isokoski (thanks 3eroica) gives the best performance in her role I've ever heard.

Wow!  It's nice to see that Jon Villars has "grown into" his voice. He & I were friends/classmates at Florida State University and I think his voice was a bit awkward then. He knew (as we all did) that it was a big voice, but it was almost too big for him at the time. He didn't really know what to do with it. Looks like he figured it out. ;) Sounds great! :)

The Pater Ecstaticus aria always makes me want to cry...so beautiful...and the finale usually does make me cry...

[mahlerkid]

beautifu,...simply beautiful

[avellanedam]

Great! Great Mater Gloriosa! "Komm!" We're really attracted to her, we go. How potent, How clear, super-projection, super high! (and not in physical height, in voice) Best of all!. "Blicket auf!"

[3eroica]

The singers are as follows:

First soprano (Magna Peccatrix): Christine Brewer

Second soprano (Una poenitentium): Soile Isokoski

Third soprano (Mater gloriosa): Rosemary Joshua

First alto (Mulier Samaritana): Birgit Remmert

Second alto (Maria Aegyptiaca): Jane Henschel

Tenor (Doctor Marianus): Jon Villars

Baritone (Pater ecstaticus): David Wilson-Johnson

Bass (Pater profundus): John Relyea

Happy to help!

[hermanzoon]

Can you give us a "left to right" order, or did you do that?

I know who John Relyea is; but none of the others.

Thank you.

[Rodrigodbf]

Who are the sopranos who sing "Una Poenitentium" and "Mater Gloriosa"?

[mariavelasco]
