Andreas Scholl - Giulio Cesare: Aure, deh, per pietà

[keckvan66]

I find it so amazing, the constant standard of Scholl's performances

[contrafagot]

Bravissimo

[malesopranosdotcom]

It's great to see Andreas perform in an open air concert. His control is absolutely stunning.

[velvetcaress]

He is just wonderful to watch and listen to, always. Such focus and sincerity. Very beautiful... I hope the audience members experienced true appreciation for being so lucky.

[sfkcbf]

Statistically considering countertenor quality (technique, focus, tone, musicianship), Andreas Scholl is in the 99th percentile.

[CubbyNH]

agreed. Truly this was a masterclass not only in the art of countertenoring but also the baroque style/technique for countertenors and any voice type singing the repertoire.

[nitaseyboldsault]

... stunning...

[Totanz]

Bravo!

[puppetmasterin]

[Xerexda]

MAGNÍFICO!!! ★★★★★

[hallospacegirl1013]

I like how each time he sings this (recordings, live events) it sounds fresh and slightly different. :-) Thanks for uploading!

[frenchyfrench]

Always nice colour but his voice doesn t allows him the same complex interpretation than before...A bit sad in a way to know that the miracle is ended.

[shazzer1976]

He definitely still has it! This is how I best like him - lie and in the flesh! So glad I have now seen him live and in my home town. (I might eventually get over it!)

[palcika1]

Well, his angelic pure voice was beautiful and it's probably gone. But I cannot be sorry because the way he sings now is just as beautiful for me (and I guess I'm not alone). Now you can hear that the voice is coming from a body and that it's a countertenor's, but it never makes the interpretation flatter, on the contrary, it's more flesh and blood, human singing. It's as if he turned Domingo after being Pavarotti for a while.

[RussianDivas]

Frenchyfrench: Humbly and in all due respect, the interpretations seem more complex as he matures? Did you see the live performance (via YouTube) of this aria from 2005? Nothing short of miraculous to me:)

[FuzzyCerts]

Unfortunately, I only had this by pure coincidence, so this is all I've got : /

[contessabrilliante]

When was this footage taken?

He's so awsome, (just like in all the other video's I've seen).

[FuzzyCerts]

I've had a difficult time trying to figure out if it was 2004 or 2005, but it must have been '04 - at the Open Air concert hosted by the Royal Danish Theatre/Royal Opera. It's a yearly event and it's free, so usually around 50.000 people turn up. Basically it's a preview of the up-coming season.

[contessabrilliante]

So, it's FREE! Bummer! I can't get there. I wish we had this kind or thing here (Canada).

The closest thing we have is "Shakespear at the Park" If it's handel, most likely it AIN'T FREE!

[FuzzyCerts]

It *is* awesome - they've been doing it for a number of years as it's a good way to reach people outside the normally quite exclusive audience. Opera for everyone :)

[gehaktmolen]

beautiful!!!! more live performances please!!!!:D:D:D

[wujingcdh]

[palcika1]

Why don't you put a comma instead of ??!??!, anyway, you're right. :)
