Been looking for a baritone version on You Tube to practise from - this will do for me (though he's too good & it's a bit demoralising for a much older 'student' !)
I strongly disliked some of the liberties he took with the melody. But besides my opinion there, he actually had a few pitch issues within it. However it did still flow very well, and he DID do a very good job.
i appreciate your feedback. i'm always looking for ways to improve. i definitely noticed the pitch issues afterward. some of the other 'takes' were better with the pitch but I felt overall this one was best.
"Liberties"? they're called embellishments and were the cornerstone of baroque opera. the first time thru was to get the melody out there; the second time thru was for showing off. some singers were known for so much embellishment that the melody was totally obscured.
@orthohawk Exactly! I have never heard a recording of this piece that did NOT have creative embellishments on the repeat. Some people just don't 'get it'
The full name of the composer by the way

Lovely, absolutely lovely. Transfixing, really -- there's something about it I can't describe: the voice, song, setting, everything.

Is he really a baritone??? I don't know too much about music, but, to me, sound more like a tenor. Am i right?? Excuse my ignorance ; )
