yes singing french is different in pronounciation. You prolongue the endings. The same you dont have to pronounce the french "r" while you are on stage.
I have to laugh at these comments about their ability to pronounce French. Depending on where you are in France the locals don't know how to pronounce it according to a local in another part of the country. English as spoken throughout England is a perfect example. No one complains that a French woman speaks English incorrectly...hahaha After all "Why can't the English speak English?-The American's haven't been speaking it for years" hahaha.
All this talk about her being or not being a skilled singer is pointless based on the fact that she is obviously performing regularly at very respected venues all around the world and has been for several years.....unskilled persons don't get longevity in opera. I may have a personal opinion on what I think is good but it is often different from my professional opinion. Nearly all of you who have disliked obviously don't have a real professional opinion regardless of you're personal one.
@MissILoveMusic44 Regarding French pronunciation in singing, the French will pronounce syllables that they wouldn't in conversation, in order to make it scan. So 'Je mange' will sound like 'Je mange-eux' if it needs to fit in. Take 'C'est l'heure solenelle' in 'Minuit Chrétiens; it is pronounced 'solenelle-eux'. 'Listen to any French pop (if you feel masochistic) and you'll find many examples. But I'd avoid French pop if I were you. It's shit-eux.
"Rough translation" Under the dense canopy Where the white jasmine Blends with the rose On the flowering bank Laughing at the morning Come, let us drift down together Let usgently glide along With the enchanting flow Of the fleeing current On the rippling surface With a lazy hand Let us reach the shore Where the source sleeps And the bird sings Under the dense canopy Under the white jasmine Let us drift down together.....
Beautiful voices but it's a shame they don't seem to understand and really feel what they're singing. They clearly distort the words french pronunciation and in sum the aria loses much of it's true inner strength.
If you'd like to corroborate, watch Tuva Semmingsen and Inger Dam-Jensen's duet. The difference is unmistakable.
this si the best flower duet i have seen. i like charlotte church' s performance with herself but she took liberties and deviated from the original score to make it easier for herself . but i suppose that is artistic licence but these ladies true veterans and professionals kudos kudos kudos. esp showing they can make the original score come to life.
Okay, I know the basic story of this song...but what's the whole opera about? I've heard the song so many times before, and I love it, but I'd like to know the plotline behind it.
@PinkorpseForever lakme and a biritsh officer fall in love, hes reminded of his duty to the regiment, leaves lakme for his fiancee, has second thoughts, goes back to lakme at the last second only to find her dead by her own hand...its a crap explaination with a lot more detail but not enough space :)
@PinkorpseForever Try going on wikipedia. I just looked and it had a synopsis of the opera and history facts about it. That's what I do for every opera I want to know more about.
Este duo aria es una de las mas hermosas que han sido escrita en el mundo de la Opera, el frances no es muy bueno, pero eso no importa frente a la belleza de la musica y canto que estamos escuchando.
I've heard this song before but I just watch "Carlito's Way" for the first time and during the scene where Carlito is standing on the roof watching his GF's ballet practice they start playing this song.
I love this, truly love, love love this. Absolute perfectiolln. When I'm sad, happy, indifferent, this piece of music never fails to heal me or put the cherry on my cake. This is the best version I have ever heard. When I die, i want it played at my funeral, ( not that i'm planning on dying anytime soon! ) but you get the general idea, thank you x
As Frenchman, I have to say that no word is comprehensible. But that is absolutely not important when it is sung with such voices! A moment of pure pleasure. To hear such a wonder is too rare. Hearing it on Youtube does not offer the same sound quality as it would be in concert, but waow!
This is great! I looked this up because I am singing this for the first time with someone and I hadn't heard it before. Bravo!!
-But I do agree with "thatsthrashmetal" that sometimes the vibrato is too much. I think that right at the end is the perfect vibrato for the song throughout.
they are perfectly in tune, and somehow managed to sync their vibrato perfectly. however, its horrible vibrato. way too bouncy, you lose the note almost completely.
It's beautiful, but sounds rushed. I prefer to hear it sung a little more slowly. Nonetheless, this duet is an amazing human achievement even when performed badly.
How can such sweet music be the muse for such a sour comment? Maybe they heard the intro on the BA advert, wanted to hear the whole piece and disliked it. Maybe they found Erika Miklosa's rawboned appearance unpleasing to the eye. Everyone is entitled to their opinion; yours is idiotic. Congratulations.
well first i like this but that said i can get why people dont like it even if they like opera everybody has his own taste and that is something beautifull.
what you are saying is that everybody that doesnt like the same thing as you is an idiot i think thats a rather stupid statement.
also you say that there are only two scenerios that is also not very smart , there can be lots of reasons why people are here and didnt like it
@NeftaliPR i dislike this version but i don't thinkt hat i'm an idiot!!!everybody has an opinion different so i don't like absolutely this version because i dislike in every way erika miklosa...i don't like her way to sing...i don't like her vibrato...i have a different opinion...but i don't think that you are an idiot!!! (i'm not english...sorry if i had make mistakes!!!)
@NeftaliPR Don't confuse taste with intelligence. Just because someone doesn't like the music you like doesn't mean that person lacks mental dexterity or refinement. Your smugness doesn't make you appear professorial or erudite but rather petty and unhinged.
@NeftaliPR haahaa this made my day- shows what a rubbih day i had :) loool i am 14 and usually just listen to pop music butthanks to this piece i now love opera :D <3 xxx
the ironic part is that I am not a big fan of opera myself...but this is one of the most amazing examples of vocal talent ever performed. These women are phenomenal to say the least. I get goose bumps at 1:22 all the way to 2:08, I mean, how can you not...
You have never heard the words "Lakmé" and/or "Flower Duet" (and thus most likely the word opera as well) before and watched this video because you thought a video, that obviously must be about two flowers singing a duet, would be either hilarious or awesome.
Oh, and if that's the case, I'm pretty sure that makes you an idiot, too.
@ ssimmons0602 - hahaha, so true...In my head it's easy to defend the english language, but in reality, theres no point is standing up for a bastard, other-language-raping dialect that is constantly changing due to immigrants, blacks, and red neck americans...
I know that this is sung in french, but what are the lyric's...by that I mean...in english, what the fuck are they saying....? !? ! ? !? !? ?! ?!! ?!...I hate the french for what they did to the english language, but if this were sung in any other language, it wouldnt sound anywhere as ethereal and serene...
@plopk you should be aware that american english came from french and german origin, french, german, latin are some languages that came before american english
@kapitanmike - I am very aware of what french occupation in england did to the early germanic english language...and this is why I wrote what I wrote...in summary... fuck the french for defacing the english language..
@plopk You have a rather odd concept of the origins of the English language.
"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary." James D. Nicoll
Well, their timbres match well. But watching Erika Miklosa with all that facial tension- I mean, her whole face! Not just her jaw and neck- makes me cringe. If she always sings like that she's going to end up with some serious vocal problems later on. (All those muscles affect one another and any tension in the head-neck-shoulders area is usually indicative of vocal tension) Just check out how she has to enunciate each note with her jaw in 5:32-5:37! On the other hand, Wiedemann does beautifully
@MissLauraSoprano She is using her "facial mask" muscles to module the voice exactly like she wants. Alfredo Kraus used this technique and he sings amazingly until at advanced age.
The one on the pink dress seems like sleeping beauty's voice... it is beutifully performed, but I think the "beat" is way too fast, does not sounds like a walk over the garden, more like a chase lol. Sorry, it is great but too fast.
This song, as song by these two, makes me just warm and funny inside. They produced some of the most angelic sounds I've ever heard in my entire life.
I think I could have the worst day of my life at work, come to my PC, turn this video on, and become completely content with the rest of my day. It's just that soothing and beautiful.
@Friday1970 -It gives you hope. Can you imagine a human being wrote this? Can you imagine him writing the music and lyrics?.... Those parts of this song that are transcendent. Can you imagine that?
Also, just because you speak the language doesn't mean anything. There are a lot of nuances in a language that are different when singing. For example, in classical french singing, the r is actually rolled, while in cabaret or contemporary music, it's formed from the back of the mouth.
Also, just because you speak the language doesn't mean anything. There are a lot of nuances in a language that are different when singing. For example, in classical french singing, the r is actually rolled, while in cabaret or contemporary music, it's formed from the back of the mouth.
I'm french. The absolute beauty of their interpretation is marred not at all by their slight mispronunciations and lack of a correct R. This is beautiful and nothing can change that.
Ok, this is scary. I can understand that hungarians or others cannot speak french perfectly but really this is @“Ç!#Ç# !!!
The original one :
"Viens Malika, les lianes en fleurs jettent déjà leurs ombres sur le ruisseau sacré, qui coule, calme et sombre, éveillé par le chant des oiseaux tapageurs"
The Miklosa one :
"Viens Malika, les lianées en fleurs jetant déjà leur obres sur le russeh sâcré, qui coule, khâlmoésombre, éveillé par le chant des vieuosiô tapageurs"
Well, the "R" doesn't chock me when I hear the other singers sing this song so I guess there is something wrong with their "R" otherwise I wouldn't have spoken about that. Again, if you aren't french or if you don't speak french, you can't feel what's wrong in their pronounciation... Obviously.
Everything would be perfect if they were not pronoucing french badly. "L'oiseau chante" broke everything lol (made me laugh) and the "R" like in intalian... Yes when you are french it really sounds weird. I guess that for the others it's just very beautiful :)
@Abneverivelz Are you aware that most classical singing teachers outside of France tell you to sing French without the French R? You can't sing on that sound, just like you can't sing on any consonants, that's why opera has such elongated vowels because the vowels are the ones that carry out the sound.

This is my favorite interpretation of the famed Flower Duet. Miklosa and Wiedemann sound lovely together.

I know that this is sung in french, but what are the lyric's...by that I mean...in english, what the fuck are they saying....? !? ! ? !? !? ?! ?!! ?!...I hate the french for what they did to the english language, but if this were sung in any other language, it wouldnt sound anywhere as ethereal and serene...

@kapitanmike - I am very aware of what french occupation in england did to the early germanic english language...and this is why I wrote what I wrote...in summary... fuck the french for defacing the english language..

@plopk You have a rather odd concept of the origins of the English language.
"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary." James D. Nicoll

Well, their timbres match well. But watching Erika Miklosa with all that facial tension- I mean, her whole face! Not just her jaw and neck- makes me cringe. If she always sings like that she's going to end up with some serious vocal problems later on. (All those muscles affect one another and any tension in the head-neck-shoulders area is usually indicative of vocal tension) Just check out how she has to enunciate each note with her jaw in 5:32-5:37! On the other hand, Wiedemann does beautifully

@MissLauraSoprano She is using her "facial mask" muscles to module the voice exactly like she wants. Alfredo Kraus used this technique and he sings amazingly until at advanced age.

The one on the pink dress seems like sleeping beauty's voice... it is beutifully performed, but I think the "beat" is way too fast, does not sounds like a walk over the garden, more like a chase lol. Sorry, it is great but too fast.

This song, as song by these two, makes me just warm and funny inside. They produced some of the most angelic sounds I've ever heard in my entire life.
I think I could have the worst day of my life at work, come to my PC, turn this video on, and become completely content with the rest of my day. It's just that soothing and beautiful.

TOTALLY DIFFERENT and SO MUCH BETTER PRESENTATION THAN ANNA NETREBKO & E.GARANCA HAVE!!!
BERNADETT & ERIKA MAKE MUSIC NOT ONLY SINGING AS THE OTHER STARS!!!
BERNADETT WIEDERMANN & ERIKA MIKLÓSA ARE HUNGARIANS, THEY FEEL THE MUSIC and REALLY MAKE IT AS WE STUDIED.
NO SCREAMING, WHAT UNFORTUNATELY A.NETREBKO DID WITH E.GARANCA IN BADEN-BADEN, 2007.
BUT IT IS M U S I C HERE
and SINGING IN DELIBES'STYLE!
JUST SIMPLY HEAVENLY AS THIS MUSIC HAS TO BE.

Also, just because you speak the language doesn't mean anything. There are a lot of nuances in a language that are different when singing. For example, in classical french singing, the r is actually rolled, while in cabaret or contemporary music, it's formed from the back of the mouth.

I'm french. The absolute beauty of their interpretation is marred not at all by their slight mispronunciations and lack of a correct R. This is beautiful and nothing can change that.

Ok, this is scary. I can understand that hungarians or others cannot speak french perfectly but really this is @“Ç!#Ç# !!!
The original one :
"Viens Malika, les lianes en fleurs jettent déjà leurs ombres sur le ruisseau sacré, qui coule, calme et sombre, éveillé par le chant des oiseaux tapageurs"
The Miklosa one :
"Viens Malika, les lianées en fleurs jetant déjà leur obres sur le russeh sâcré, qui coule, khâlmoésombre, éveillé par le chant des vieuosiô tapageurs"
Good voices anyway.

Well, the "R" doesn't chock me when I hear the other singers sing this song so I guess there is something wrong with their "R" otherwise I wouldn't have spoken about that. Again, if you aren't french or if you don't speak french, you can't feel what's wrong in their pronounciation... Obviously.
Abneverivelz 1 year ago
Everything would be perfect if they were not pronoucing french badly. "L'oiseau chante" broke everything lol (made me laugh) and the "R" like in intalian... Yes when you are french it really sounds weird. I guess that for the others it's just very beautiful :)
Abneverivelz 1 year ago
@Abneverivelz Are you aware that most classical singing teachers outside of France tell you to sing French without the French R? You can't sing on that sound, just like you can't sing on any consonants, that's why opera has such elongated vowels because the vowels are the ones that carry out the sound.
