Lippen Schweigen - Hvorostovsky & Fleming

[forresterrobed]

Once in a while I think of my grandparents I never knew and wonder at their silent presence...if they're aware of me, how they think I'm doing, so far ..ya know.

КатяР. Чудесно. Хворостовский божественно поет. Дуэт- супер. Браво!!!!!

[Malikazat4444]

Красотаааа........ Хворостовский супер

[cevozza]

Dios mío!!!

[kubri1]

Musik verbindet, Lehar, ich glaube er war Ungar, ein Russe und eine Engländerin singen ein Liebesduett, was gibt es schöneres ?? Grüsse aus Wien

[BluegillGreg]

Very nice. Yeah, that finish is nice for the soprano line. On my phone's speaker I couldn't hear the bari, 큰양요.

[lovecp11]

Lehar´s orcestration is one of the best ever. So liking that but not so keen on Renees choise for finish tone, better stick with the original.

[lovecp11]

Lehar´s orcestration is one of the best ever.

[23zowie23]

It is so evident that Dmitri knows how to give respect to his ladies and they in return just cruise through a lovely song. Graham Melb Aus

[bachboy111]

i have to say that i think that renee would make a fantastic rosalinde in die fledermaus, no?

[jd7x7jd]

fabulous thank you

[coryisawake]

The upward resolve at the end is very, very pretty!

[dubitz11]

Fascinating to compare this with Placido Domingo + Anna Netrebko. Those are more easy-going, more romantic, and Placido's aristoratic air is unsurpassed, as is Anna's girlish beauty. But Renee is gorgeous. And although Dimitri comes across a little wooden, calculating, almost Mephisto-like, the hand kiss at the end of this version has much more dramatic effect than the dance in the other version, though the dance is more romantic, of course.

[genia106]

I love this song. Renee is Fabulous and

Dimitri is Magnificent! Thank you.

[MarianneJ14]

Now , i'm singing this song in my choir , it's beautifull

[rigcelli]

Renèe Fleming Amazing!!!!

[Damnblastify]

Renée Fleming is sublime!

[PEPEDEBARRO]

sweet!

[Gothigraphic]

I like this song... it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside somehow...

[AmadeusJMB]

I just wish she wouldn't scoop all the time....drives me crazy....but beautifully done!

[Davidzz17]

OMG!! this is great, absolutely breathtaking.

[kjm5x5x]

I haven't found another version online where anyone else hits that high note at the end like Renee does.....that was so good!

[djseo1]

Check out Sumi Jo's version (w/ Jose Carreras).

[kngiht84]

Sumi Jo did. (Gotta admit though that Renee's is much more sublime)

[bhadan2]

Brava Fleming!!!

Amazing!!!

[geulietta]

THE BEST !!!!

[Nidlarey21]

WOW!!!

they are both AMAZING!!!

i loved the end!!!!

[operalucia1987]

absolutly breathtaking! I am working on this wonderful aria with my best friend for our concert...simply amazing!

[jsjuti]

2:58-3:02 what is Dmitri doing?:D Did he foreget the lyrics?:D

[Hearnoevil8]

Lol! I never would have noticed that but I think he did!

[rity63]

Oh, yes, I think he did! He's watching her to get them. He does this every now & then, giving us the occasional "dar-de-dar" as filler or repeating an earlier verse. It's one of his most charming qualities, giving a human touch to all that Cary Grant perfection! Why don't they do this on stage?

[energyglobal]

jsjuti :

rity63 :

No Hvo did not forget his text. It only sounds like that.

It is just his typical "mumbling" and throaty phrasing of text, here the German text "jeder Druck der Haende", which makes it sound like "dar-de-dar" (nice expression !).

[meriomeri]

LOL

Though I do love them together.

[energyglobal]

Me Two !!

[energyglobal]

Sorry, of course "Me too" !

[Leodaan]

Super.

Man kann es nur weiter empfehlen. Die Stimmen passen sehr gut zusammen

[JIMY45GR]

singed by jimy haji in earlier edition

[Italia1987]

ive seen both of them live and they are AMAZING!!!!

[njs2311]

Her German is much better than his. Her pronounciation is nearly perfect. You can hardly hear an accent....

but what does is matter: both are great singers and the song is just beautiful.

[burtsbees2]

fleming also speaks german fluently, and hvorostovsky has admitted that it is his most difficult language. at least he's trying; i still love hearing him

[TedShepherd]

Lippen schweigen,

's flüstern Geigen:

hab mich lieb!

All die Schritte

sagen: Bitte,

hab mich lieb!

Jeder Druck der Hände

deutlich mir's beschrieb.

Er sagt klar, 's ist wahr, 's ist wahr,

du hast mich lieb!

[TedShepherd]

Lips are silent,

violins whisper:

Love me!

Every step

says: please

love me!

Every hand-clasp

shows it clearly.

Now I know, it's so, it's so,

you love me!

[ChristinaLuiseNikita]

I totally agree with you, you can really hardly hear an accent ! Great !

[Etnecserc]

@njs2311 He's Russian and like most of his countrymen or even most of peoples of Slavic heritage, he is probably loath to even admit he can sing in German much less speak it. The reason is in history. From the time of the Teutonic Knights to the Nazis, the Germans always thought of Slavs as slaves and their lands, their lebensraum.

[Lan7a]

@Etnecserc Oh. yes the Germans always, always thought of slavs as slaves, especially after the Battle of Grunwald

[Etnecserc]

@Lan7a The slavs, particularly the Poles and Lithuanians, won the battle of Grunwald. And of course, the Russians finally put an end to the German threat to Slavic Europe in WWII, albeit with great losses.

[vladtepesz19]

Sorry, dear, but you have no idea. At least she knows German and pronounces it correctly. While he obviously didn't bother to learn the lyrics. He sings nonsense. And this comes from an Austrian. I DO know the Lehar stuff. His voice is okay though not overwhelming. Personally I like her voice better as clearer and stronger.

[lady00010]

I totally agree with you. For some un-informed afficionados, it has become fashionable to stipulate that Renee Fleming mispronounces foreigh languages, which is absolutely false. Being sexta-lingual, I can truly confirm that her diction is close to perfect. Thank you vladtpesz19 for objecting so perfectly.

[birgitnilsson]

WOW. Our supreme judge is sexta-lingual...

[joeocho88]

Rather lyrical playing, a little too heavy-handed for Lehar... And now for the singers.

OMG! FABULOUS TALENTS! He's a bit heavy and dark for the role but WHO CARES! He is MAGNIFICANT! Her voice would be great for Wagner operas..

When they sing together ...AMAZING!

[kngiht84]

for Wagner ? You're not even serious, are you ? She's only a lirico.

[Maleju]

Such an wonderful voice has Dmitri, just like the russian he is . Russians are famous, in general by their voices.

Beautiful duet.

*

Voz maravilhosa tem Dmitri, bem como o russo que ele é. Eles são famosos pela qualidade de suas vozes.

Belo dueto.

*

Maravillosa voz tiene Dmitri, como un ruso él no deja a desear, porque son famosos por la calidad de sus voces.

Hermoso dueto.

[0omnibus0]

So schön, so romatisch, so eine positive Stimmung! Lehar über alles!

[christygoblog]

hahaha.. i really like this piece of lehar's operette.. this is so cool! renee's great. dmitri too.

too bad nobody put this Lippen Schweigen in Bry Terfel and Renee Fleming version. Bryn's amazing vibrato adds more value.. but this one is good.

[glasgopinkkitten]

I've got real pleusure watching this video.Both singers are just gorgeous.Many thanks.

[FinnishKnife]

WOW!!!!!!

[jrodrigoae]

La obra mas bella que jamas escuche!! es para quedarse enamorado!!!

[vitellia]

La Fleming's high B at the end was absolutley gorgeous just like the rest of their singing, but musically the interpolation was out of whack, imho. I think she should'vd ended with the high G, instead.

[canegrace]

Che meraviglioso Danilo!

[sagalat]

Top Of The Line. Thanks

[prc114]

I would kneel and propose to both of them... leaning towards Renee though.

[josemlecaros]

¡Maravilloso!

[voce29]

Yes, Dimitri sang beautifully but that german word "fluestern" is even for him a challenge.

[prc114]

I would describe this as... orgasmic.

[canegrace]

e hai ragione, è stupendo

[trekkie2006]

I would so have to agree with you!

[oOFleurDeLisOo]

Charming! How else can you describe it?

[lynam60]

wow. nicely done.

[SissiPearl]

Beautiful duet sung by a beautiful pair. BRAVO!
