Andreas Scholl - Rodelinda - Aria - Vivi Tiranno

[baritonebynight]

I saw him in Rodelinda last week live from the Met in HD at my local theater and he struggled through the piece and he had a lot of air in his sound. A bad night perhaps.

[papoocanada]

he sings like a broad ! ghastly

[geekbaritone]

I think he's wonderful singer but this piece is not for his voice not enough meat behind the voice listen to David Hansen version up an coming Australian counter tenor

[baalhaophanim]

His voice is here at his best, but later, his voice has changed and now, I think it's not so good as before...

[klemperer100]

BELLISSIMO.

[BarbaraJaneP]

Saw it live here in Victoria BC tonight. Listened to all the counter tenors here singing and this guy is the very very best. It sounds so warm and natural.

[ritchiereech]

love it

[Liwah]

For some strange reason, this made me cry.

[eduardpijl]

@Liwah

not very strange, I have the same. This music together with the perfection gets to you

[omoetamo]

VIvi, tiranno

io t'ho scampato,

svenami ingrato,

sfoga il furor!

Volli salvarti

sol per amarti

ch'ho di mia sorte

più grande il cor

ENJOI CRONHOLE!

[cronhole]

merci :)

[pepix54]

@omoetamo Volli salvarti sol per MOSTRARTI (not "Amarti")

ENJOY OMOETAMO

[cronhole]

anyone know where i can get the lyrics, i'd like to try learn this song :)

[schweitzer006325]

Interesting staging...I believe this was the first British staging of this opera, right?

Thanks for posting!

[pianoman1812]

I don't think it was the first British staging, after all Handel lived in England for most of his life, most of his operas were produced there, including this one.

[schweitzer006325]

Oh, I think I meant it as one of the first British modern revivals rather than the first ever in history. Handel, of course, saw it performed in England during his lifetime! =)

[Altbayer0001]

Ehre sei Händel!!!

Dank Euch für Eure Musik, möget ihr im Himmel weiterkomponieren!

[starbreez3]

Jesus, this can't be serious! I love the 'gear' changes hahaha, they are so powerful.

[ArnesonZach]

Great song, but this scene looks like a Baroque-music version of the Sound of Music.

[AUDIOPHlLE]

Looks like an awful production.

[whomakemefeel]

I hear this Brilliant aria by Marijana Mijanovic she had splendid throat and I'm hear it now By Andreas Scholl he such remarkable voice indeed

[la200o]

Couldn't be better!

[pianomanarikado]

Does anyone know where can i download the sheet music for this aria.... listening to scholl makes you want to just try singing it!! .. please.. i would be veeerryy grateful, besides it is really interestin to liste to the piece and follow the notes! =)

[delauge]

you can try the link, which is on this opera on german wikipedia... you must look for this in it... but it is really highly virtuostic aria and it is not easy!

[ralipam]

.... un orgasmo musical

[iroca22]

su voz es ligerísima y clara...y da gusto oírle cantar.

[annakim925]

This tempo is really good. Andreas's voice is more amazing than any other countertenor.

[TenderBeast]

Aye, that it is!

[zimnaya]

Andreas touches the heart and the mind; intelligence, but above all beauty and purity of tone. There is not another countertenor like him today.

Magnificent...always!

[frenchyfrench]

I love this tempo ;) This production is a dream. Everything is fine. The conductor create a wonderful dynamic and the singers are just perfect. I bought this DVD and I couldn t stp to watch it for a month ;)

[nohpiano]

and bravo to the oboist for surviving the tempo....LOL

[philomelodia]

Just heard Russell Oberlin's rendition of this aria and I'm struck by the difference in voice types. Scholl uses falsetto and has excellent technique. Oberlin uses full voice for his alto singing but doesn't sing in the period-authentic way. The full voice is really impacting though.

[Walvis2007]

In person, the sound was amazing. If only we could have used modern tech to record Oberlin's voice....

[eddi1178]

Andreas simply skillful!!!

[avalonmerlino]

oberlin risulta avere voce gradevolissima ma la sua classe ecomportamento in vivi tiranno midanno l'idea della flaccidità.Andreas mi va meglio come interpretazione perchè dà la visibile impressione di non aver paura del ""tiranno"

[Orbazzano]

Mi dispiace ma la classe, la tecnica e la voce di Oberlin Scholl se le sogna la notte...veramente insopportabili quei suonacci fissi...

[avalonmerlino]

oberlin ha voce speciale ma Andreas ha voce che arriva dritta al cuore.

[reallyharried]

I don't remember hearing Oberlin sing anything this florid. Did he?

[Tigermuc]

This voice always touches my heart! Thanks Andreas.

Christian

[teofilobeja]

Simpl the best ever heard

[Bachsoboe]

Bravo, to all involved! Is Anthony Robson the Oboist?

[CaballeroCatalan]

But... wait a minute, this is where he's supposed to be sparing the tyrant... I think. Anyway, what a wonderful voice!!!

[fairyboy05]

i love andreas!

[palcika1]

Scholl not only has a matchless voice, about which everything has been said, he also has a heart and intelligence and very good taste to interpret arias so meaningfully. He refrains from trying to beat the composer that virtuoso singers often do, thus killing the whole enjoyment of the thing.

[civileso]

I couldn't agree more..

[joliewaves]

I hate Scholl for singing this aria so effortlessly and beautifully. He totally kicks Oberlin's natural alto butt. I preferred Minter over Oberlin, but now prefer Scholl over the other two. THX for posting.

[dennisneo]

Why would a Tyrant kill such a good singer?

[JuanDiegooooo]

Mmmhh... that's part of the job, I guess !

[Mimabailarina]

The arias of Grimoaldo (the "tyrant")are superb. You should listen, e.g., to "Prigioniera ho l'alma in pena" and to "Pastorello d'un povero armento"...

[palcika1]

Some say Kurt Streit's voice is too metallic and cold. But I find it beautiful, a strong and clear voice, and the man a very good performer.

[eduardoguitar22]

exelente

[eduardoguitar22]

En este vivi tiranno a Andreas Scholl se le ve un poco nervioso , pero su coloratura es envidiable , dificilmente otro contratenor iguale este vivi tiranno . Ni David Daniels , ni Russell Oberlin.

[keno68cl]

Coincido con ud.,buena interpretacion,saludos desde Chile

[davcos22]

Yo creo que el señor Oberlin no tiene nada que enviadiar a Scholl.

Andreas es genial, en eso estamos de acuerdo, pero es difícil e incluso un tanto absurdo decir quién es mejor.

[palcika1]

He always sings as if it required no effort at all. And he can act.

[archangeli]

THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting this. I adore Andreas Scholl and he sings this aria like it is the easiest thing in the world.

*instant fav*

[LoRau]

Yes, Andreas has the most beautiful voice in the world. %)

I adore him too. His voice is like a silver wind.

[pvbee]

I totally agree! So beautiful!
