Mozart - Apollo et Hyacinthus - Duet "Natus cadit"

[davlor86]

como pudo haber sido Mozart tan genio? escribir esto a los 11 años? como mejor no fui yo? ;P

Belíssimo.....comovente...

Unbelieveably beautiful music. Nothing less than astonishing to realise this was composed by an 11 year-old boy. Music like this is able to quake the soul and move a man to tears. Genius wunderkind!

@Armboy100 It was a joke, dick.

You got to admit he's pretty good at picking his libretto too. It's not just the notes and chords, his understanding and appreciation of text was superior to those who went through the regular school system. It's simply not something that can be taught.

[davlor86]

Mozart's parents must have bursted into tears when they saw their 11 year old son directing and composing this such beautiful composition...They must have said "God, our child is not a genius, he is an angel"

Oh! Ich mag dieses Viseo immer und immer wieder! - Es ist soooooo schön! -

So beeindruckend schön!

This is moving and touching. And two incredible voices.

[rafarabe]

Really beautiful. If Mozart wrote it when he was 11 years old by himself then his genius and inspiration were simply from another dimension

Man, I wanna hug that little boy, I wish my little brother could sing like that, lol

[koreakko]

ekstraordinære tolkning av disse gutta virkelig vist mens jeg gratulere disse videoene felicidades

[52sport6469]

Not only lovely singing but also fantastic dignified, exact right a-c-t-i-n-g  by the 11 year old Bergius!

The same applies to his 2 Mehlia arias and to his and Panito´s singing and acting in Zephyrus´ aria.

Also Michel Lecoque´s very sensible tenor voice is wonderful well applied here!

[vakalo2005]

beautifull !! just beautifull ... !! I hope I can find this recording on a cd . Thanks!

[titussenlair]

Sperb interpretation . Thanks

[Fuliginosus]

I'm several times older than Mozart was when he wrote this, yet my musical compositions are inferior. I blame the school system.

[Armboy100]

@Fuliginosus I don't know who you are, but maybe you think too much of you? :) I do not intend to hurt you, but do have the genius that Mozart had? Are you even a third of Mozart was?

[qklq42]

It's just incredebly beautiful.

Truly moving, music and acting

[tritonusgesang]

Beeindruckend schön! Sehr einfühlsam interpretiert! Große Klasse!

Es ist erstaunlich, was man mit Kindern musikalisch erarbeiten kann! Brawo!

[cazonetta]

The quality and acting of this video isn't the best, at parts their voices were rather strained and awkward as they moved from high to low notes. Not sure if I like Bergius playing Melia, as I found his voice glaringly alto (in terms of a boy), not supplying the necessary quality typical of a soprano.

[Kryltoppa]

Beautifully sung!

I like the Salzburg 2006 production better, tho. This tempo here is so fast that it's hard for me to believe that these two are mourning Hyacinthus' death and the departure of Apollo.

[fanofmozart]

Well, the score (available with the rest of Mozart's oeuvre online) is marked Andante. I like the way the two melodies intertwine at this tempo. The ritard at the end works well that way, too.

[ichmalealsobinich]

The same duet sequence of Mozarts opera Apoll & Hyacinth one can watch from the Salzburg Burgtheater. But I prefer this old one from chateau Augustusburg in spite of the poor video quality. Especially the 11y old Allan Bergius did an excellent performance in her role as Melia, Oebalus daughter & Hyacinths sister showing a soprano which I rarely heard in such clearance. Amazing.

[tkbewunderin79]

Einfach wunderbar, wie alles, was der Tölzer Knabenchor macht!!! Panito sings in this production, doesn't he? And what a new version do you mean, with the Tölzer too? There is a cd too, von den 90'er Jahren. Komisch! Mozart was 11 years old, as Bergius!

[ichmalealsobinich]

Yes. He takes the part of Cephalon (I hope I pronounced the name correctly) the rival of hyacinthus as alto. You can also hear him in a beginning part of the opera.

[tkbewunderin79]

Oh, wie schön!!! Ich möchte diese Fassung!!! Bravo, Tölzer!!!

[fanofmozart]

This is from a 1983 German TV performance, taped off French TV in 1995. Not great quality, good job preparing it for YouTube. A touching performance, excellent work by tenor Lecocq and Tölzer Knabenchor boy soprano Bergius. Compare this with the 2006 version done for the Mozart22 project; several clips here on YouTube. I think this one holds up well, even though the new one is excellent too!
