@globalman I see Eggert was born in 1912, so she is going to be 100 next year. I cannot find any record of them doing Merry Widow at the met. l in the data base for met. opera archives but he sang these opera's at the met.---- Boheme, Carmen, Tosca, Manon, Rigoloetto plus Tosca for a total of 33 metropolitan opera performances.
@globalman thank you for the good information. They where smart leaving, just because the Nazis said they would look the other way doesn't mean anything, who would take the word of the Nazis anyhow and if the mind set changed they both would have wound up dead like Josef Schmidt who did leave but wound up in a Swiss internment camp and died at age 38.
@SHICOFF1 I met his younger son and widow the incomparable Martha Eggert in Zurich late 90's. They had been the Star couple late 20's and 30's. Opera, Operetta. Martha's mother was Jewish from Hungary....formerly Austro Hungarian Empire. The Nazi's said they would look the other way if they stayed but they didn't and fled. Were in Mexico and then crossed into the USA with Marcel Prawy, Austria's most famous musicologist and critic.They did 300 performances of Merry Widow at the Met. No DVD :-(
I think this is the best perfomance of Nessum dorma I have ever heard. I find Kiepura really interesting and all I can say, he was the best tenor. But that's jut my personal opinion:)
He was of Polish Jewish background because the Jews go by the mother and so that was his background and regardless he was a great and considered Polish by Birth of course.
@slownikqwerty I never heard much about that but Jan was proud of his Polish and Jewish backround just like Tauber, who was Austrian and raised a Catholic but with a Jewish Father. He had to leave Germany to save himself. I have a POLISH LP recording of him sing many arias from Italian and French opera, wonderful and not available anymore
I have read the comments and yes his Mother was Jewish and he was proud of her her back round but I wonder if he had to leave Poland during the war? His singing of the Flower song from Carmen was one of the best studio recording's of it I ever heard ! His wife Martha at 101 is still alive and and she sang also until recently. He sang Calaf even with his lyric spinto voice on stage very well. On top of all that he was a handsome man on stage.
who cares about his nationality ! Music has no nationality, it is coming from the heart and everyone has a heart. Even animals and plants can appreciate music and they do not care about nationality !
Tenor65 muchas gracias por compartir este valioso video( debe ser de un pelicula) Jan Kiepura magnifico tenor, bella voz y gran interpretación. Debe haber sido impactante escucharlo en directo
Jan Kiepura had an angelic voice that caresses the soul with a rainbow of colors leaving a lasting impression.
His film songs (hear at youtube) are unique for sweetness, sincerity and, his pre-war popularity was legendary.
Those who knew him always mention his kindness, and generosity.
Sometimes an artist has it all and Jan Kiepura certainly also gave his all to so many. one can be, this tenor rises to a level of excellence beyond so many o
What a wonderful glimpse from the past .He must have been a fine, sincere and committed singer.I could'nt give a stuff about his nationality.It's the performer that counts.The sound reminds me of Schmidt.
@lukaszds so ''shock off'' :) u streesed the fact that he was Polish....I stressed the fact that he was Polish Jews :) so am I :) anyproblems with that? and dont give me this holocaust crap....if anyone has any isues it must be u appatently...
@laddo79 I totally agree with you. We should remember all these great Polish Jews. We barely have Jews in Poland nowadays so everything we can do is recall those who lived here and were a treasure for this country.
@ArthurRubinstein I think you can't say he is a Polish Jew. He was Polish. Only his mother was from a Jewish family but he was born in Poland. It's more proper to say he has some Jewish roots but he can't be considered a Polish Jew, I think...
@slownikqwerty of course you can say that,,,,,he was a Polish Jews...that was his identity...what does it mean ''only his mother''.....only? I guess that wasimp ortant not just 'only'.....he just like Szpilman and many otheres is an important bridge between Polishness and Jewishness...
Bardzo się wzruszyłam .Dziękuję bardzo za ten wspaniały film .Moja mama mówiła mi tak wiele o kunszcie Pana Kiepury , a teraz dzięki potędze internetu mogę to usłyszeć osobiście .
I just discovered Kiepura, this is a wonderful, powerful and melodic voice. To the guy who called Pavarotti, Domingo and Carreras 'the three clowns,' shame on you. Yes, the concerts were frivolous, but those are three great voices who re-invogorated the classic repertoire, brought millions of fans to opera, and distinguished themselves as great men and great figures of the operatic theater.
His Flower song from Carmen is his best recorded aria and really wonderful I have it on a Polish record. His mother was Jewish so I guess he was already singing at the met. in the late 30's or Hitler would have got him. Tauber also had that problem in Germany and left, Schmidt was not as lucky, got too Swiss but wound up in an internment camp and died at 38 years old. Kiepura's wife is still singing at age 93 and I have a tape made last yea, nice voice.
Nice. First time I've heard Kiepura, impressive. Also the first time I've heard ND in German. Not an opera buff but I like what I hear. Favourite is Lanza but not an operatic tenor by any means. Will listen for more and thanks for posting
Look,if you don't have a clue about classical singing then don't even bother others with your useless comments. This is a BRILLIANT performance and nothing else!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
it is my right to say that compared to Luciano Pavarotti's interpretation, Yom Kippura's is amateurish.. this is what I know about classical music! And please don't bug me with you stupid emails. OK?
By saying this is an average performance you disqualify yourself at once. Of course, you don't that because you simply don't know it better. But for all the knowledgeablesout there people like you are a real pain in the neck. Note that I am saying...people like you. There are far too many out there. You said it right: Pavarotti good. Kiepura bad.That's all you know about classical music. And that says it all !! Get yourself a bit more expertise and then come back.
"this is what I know about classical music!" hahahahahahaha ...or what you don't know! "This is my right to say..." yes it is , but it makes you look stupid in the eyes of everyone who knows a bit about something you don't have a clue and that is classical music. But keep writing your posts, they are funny!
If this in San Carlo, what language is he singing in? Polish? In Naples? Beautiful voice anyway. Have only heard about him. Never actually heard him. Thank you for posting.
Nice singing and he made some good films. luckier then Tauber who had to move too London for being half jewish and schmidt who did not live through it but Kiepura was here in the USA (his mom was Jewish) he was at the met. He sang at the met once and many could not get in so he came out and sang for them until midnight, they used that idea in the Caruso film with Lanza. It never happened with Caruso though.
although i normally hate anything not sung in the original language to hear Jan Kiepura one can accept all. he was simply one of the greatest tenors of all time. Poland's treasure given to the world. thank you, grazie, dziękuję
nagrania z okresu kiedy śpiewał kiepura są dość kiepskiej jakości. zwróćcie uwagę 2:15 -2:20 tutaj widać po ruchu warg jak głos rosnie i otwiera się, a na nagraniu w ogóle tego nie słychać.
Kiepura w tym utworze to explozja emocji. Pavarotti przy swoich warunkach fizycznych(masa)wykonuje go perfekcyjnie i genialnie niestety moim zdaniem jak rzemieślnik...Pomimo niemieckiego wykonania Kiepura rules!!!
prawda jest taka że obaj byli genialni.a "rzemieślniczy" styl Lucjana wynikał po prostu z tego że śpiewał to tylko na koncertach i recitalach i to po prostu na pamięć bo ludzie chcieli.mimo wszystko rzemieślnikiem nie był,śpiewał piękne liryczne bel canto.określenie rzemieślinik pasuje mi bardziej do Villazona,Vargasa czy Dominga.jakbym miał układać śpiewaczą ligę to obaj byliby w I grupie.Gdyby nasz Kiepura dzisiaj się wybił to nie miałby żadnej poważnej konkurencji:-)
zatem spieranie się o to jest w zasadzie jałowe,jest to kwestia gustu i tyle.i miło spotkać kogoś kto żyje prawdziwą sztuką a nie tym wszechobecnym komercyjnym chłamem :-)
Miło z tobą polemizowac Tomekk!!! Pavarottiego uwielbiam jak i Jego Nessun dorma,ale myśle że wzorował śię On na Kiepurze i nutka patriotyzmu bierze górę!
chmm..z Pavarottim to chyba przesadziłeś.jeśli ktoś miałby być lepszy to ewentualnie Corelli (choć porównywanie tenora dramatycznego z lirycznym jest średnio udane..).w moim odczuciu Nessun Dorma Pavarottiego jest dużo lepsza od tej,tyle że musi być przez Lucjana śpiewana u szczytu kariery czyli powiedzmy do 85 roku.potem było coraz gorzej.wykonania z lat 90 są piękne ale głos już nie był taki jak kiedyś.Wogóle jeśli chodzi o tę piękną arię to trudno Pavarottiego dogonić.
Inaczej jest już z całą operą Turandot,bo Pavarotti generalnie nie był do niej stworzony,stąd zresztą rzadko ją wykonywał.niestety Turandoty w wykonaniu Kiepury nie widziałem.Z pewnością Kiepura był fantastycznym śpiewakiem.tyle że ja od dziecka słuchałem włoskiej opery po włosku i nie mogę się przełamać do niemieckiego wykonania..wogóle nie wiem czemu on większość arii śpiewał po niemiecku
Paulxxyyzz -Kiepuras' main career was both Germany ,and of course Austria (Vienna Opera )
He sang German because then that is what any artist did if singing in Germany and Austria or whatever european country . He considered himself a Polish patriot and gave many"Polish"
benefit concerts during war .He was a great
favourite of German and Austrian audiences.His wife Marta Eggerth ,in her 90s had a Vienna
pavarotti was medially great. I mean he was famous. But technically (which is considered in musical terms) Pav was not any better than other lyric-spintos.
Not being a voice expert I can only enjoy the singing. I leave the evaluation to exports but I do enjoy Kipura's voice. Post more if you have them. I really appreciate them all.
Does anyone know if he considered himself Jewish or was he Catholic? His mother was Jewish so the Nazis would have considered him as a Jew. Anyone know?
He was Catholic as his father's family was. His mother was born in a Jewish family (living nearby Polish town Częstochowa, being under German occupation then) but was baptized when she was 15.
He is the best Polish singer, no discussion about that. But why sing this aria in German? Why sing it in Polish? It was written in Italian, and should be sung in Italian. No problem for Jan, who spoke Italian quite well and would have done it even better than in this record (and if Pavarotti had not lived - he would have been regarded as "Mr. Nessun Dorma"
Sorry, but I not at all impressed with that performance by Kiepura, the vocal style is lacking on so many fronts. No tenor before or since can come close to Corelli on this role!
Corelli was "loud" which does not make for great singing. Listen to the "greatest" tenors, Gigli, Bjorling, and Georges Thill, all of whom respected the composer whose indications of nuance are very clear, and to be "respected."
I do understand a public that does not recognize the difference between artistry and bellowing. There was a reason the PAST is referred to as: THE GOLDEN AGE of SINGING
Corelli was voted tenor of the century by the Bel Canto Society! In many opera experts opinion he was considered the best dramatic/spinto tenor of all time. Not bad for someone who is "loud" eh!
Polacy maja to do siebie że z reguły ich edukacja muzyczna opiera się na radio RMF fm. Ja odkryłem piękno opery jakieś dwa lata temu. dopiero teraz rozumiem jak daleko większość popowych artystów jest daleko od prawdziwej sztuki. opera to świątynia muzyki
He is said to be the best Polish tenor ever. And was forced that time to sing in German. I had never the chance to sing nessun dorma in Polish on the highest level. That's a real pity.
Eight people have no soul.

Corelli is a "Möchtegern-Tenor" and Kiepura simply fanatastic!

Not being a voice expert I can only enjoy the singing. I leave the evaluation to exports but I do enjoy Kipura's voice. Post more if you have them. I really appreciate them all.
Does anyone know if he considered himself Jewish or was he Catholic? His mother was Jewish so the Nazis would have considered him as a Jew. Anyone know?

Does really matter?

He was Catholic as his father's family was. His mother was born in a Jewish family (living nearby Polish town Częstochowa, being under German occupation then) but was baptized when she was 15.
But anyway - does it matter?

I'd say a 1,000 times better - but apart from that I agree totally with what you say!

He is the best Polish singer, no discussion about that. But why sing this aria in German? Why sing it in Polish? It was written in Italian, and should be sung in Italian. No problem for Jan, who spoke Italian quite well and would have done it even better than in this record (and if Pavarotti had not lived - he would have been regarded as "Mr. Nessun Dorma"

Sorry, but I not at all impressed with that performance by Kiepura, the vocal style is lacking on so many fronts. No tenor before or since can come close to Corelli on this role!

Corelli was "loud" which does not make for great singing. Listen to the "greatest" tenors, Gigli, Bjorling, and Georges Thill, all of whom respected the composer whose indications of nuance are very clear, and to be "respected."

You don't understand opera, and great singing.

I do understand a public that does not recognize the difference between artistry and bellowing. There was a reason the PAST is referred to as: THE GOLDEN AGE of SINGING

Corelli was voted tenor of the century by the Bel Canto Society! In many opera experts opinion he was considered the best dramatic/spinto tenor of all time. Not bad for someone who is "loud" eh!

No tenor on the stage today can match Kiepura or any of the Golden Age tenors.

Fenomen, całą dzisiejszą noc spędziłem słuchając opery, przez tę jedną noc nie wylałem tyle łez ile przez 22 lata życia.... piękne :)

Polacy maja to do siebie że z reguły ich edukacja muzyczna opiera się na radio RMF fm. Ja odkryłem piękno opery jakieś dwa lata temu. dopiero teraz rozumiem jak daleko większość popowych artystów jest daleko od prawdziwej sztuki. opera to świątynia muzyki

He is said to be the best Polish tenor ever. And was forced that time to sing in German. I had never the chance to sing nessun dorma in Polish on the highest level. That's a real pity.
