Russell Braun - "Avant de quitter ces lieux" - Faust 2001

many times the opening vamp bar is omitted, shinglebob.

[shinglebob1]

He comes in a full measure early. Does anyone else not realize that?

[magicj530]

@shinglebob1 that measure is often omitted in the orchestral version of the scene - different scores vary on this. Listen to most versions on youtube of the scene (not just the aria) and you will see that most omit the orchestral vamp measure.

[1Victorinus]

@shinglebob1 You are right. He does come in measure to soon. This is not unusual in live performances, and is usually due to nerves. Conductors have signals ready for the orchestra in order to notify them when these accidents happen, so they can catch up with the singer.
