R. HAHN. À Chloris. Susan Graham

[ejrouge]

When I first Susan Graham singing this song, I thanked God for that priviledge. If there's a heaven, this must be the music playing over there.

Gracias por adjuntar las letras y la traducción!!...

Who painted the portrait on minute 35?

[xavisuescun]

@amayaros

in 0:35, 1:35 or 2:35.

Can you be more precise, please.

[014pierrot]

@amayaros I'm not sure, but it looks like something by John Singer Sargent.

[AgnesRegina]

This song is so sweet it always leaves me misty-eyed. The pianist and singer both do this gorgeously... thanks for posting.

[MARTHAMFA]

I would like to get the lyrics of this song. Anyone could send it to me?

Congratulations on choosing of the works of art that make our imagination fly higher.

[xavisuescun]

@MARTHAMFA Melodie francesa con texto de Theophile de Viau. S'il est vrai, Chloris, que tu m'aimes, Mais j'entends, que tu m'aimes bien, Je ne crois pas que les rois mêmes Aient un bonheur pareil au mien. Que la mort serait importune De venir changer ma fortune A la félicité des cieux! Tout ce qu'on dit de l'ambroisie Ne touche point ma fantaisie Au prix des grâces de tes yeux.

[xavisuescun]

@MARTHAMFA Si es verdad, Chloris, que me amas, Y he oído, que bien me quieres, No creo que ni los propios reyes Posean una felicidad semejante a la mía. ¡Que la muerte sería inoportuna Si viniera a cambiar mi fortuna Por la felicidad de los cielos! Todo cuanto dicen de la ambrosía no impresiona a mi fantasía ante la recompensa de tu mirada.

[MARTHAMFA]

@xavisuescun Très reconnaissant pour votre réponse, et l'envoi des paroles en français et en espagnol.

[cuoylyf]

Fantastica!!!!!!!!!!

[amatorynumber]

she should have recorded this with her more recent accompanist Malcolm Marineau. This is amazing playing but that other guy is bloody awesome. Check their live performance!

[LoraIaurora]

Majestically graceful…. Thank you dear @danais52 for sharing.

[hergaman]

Stunning portraits - such beauty. And the music the perfect accompaniment. Or vice-versa.

[Teddyb1939]

I have a playlist named ultimate beauty & have entered this in, just lovely.

[jgutiermusica]

¿Y el pianista? ¿Quien es? Tiene muy buen sonido y, como siempre, la cantante se lleva todo el mérito.

[xavisuescun]

Roger Vignoles

[tenaciousgirl]

@jgutiermusica La Prima Donna is the most important instrument of the orchestra. :)

[jgutiermusica]

Bello! Bellisimo!

[tamerlano236]

Nice. Beautiful song. But the best version on YT is Nicholas Spanos's.

[lipera]

Definitely the best version of this song!!!!!!

[MrSkylark1]

Please listen to NINON VALLIN and EULA BEAL

[Fuliginosus]

Beautiful. Hahn sounds almost 18th-century in this piece. Nice singing and pictures too.

[LadyDame77]

ok I got it. Hahn adapted this song from a poem about the mythical story of Chloris. Chloris is a wife of a mythical god who abducted Chloris and gave her dominion over plants and flowers. Chloris is another name for Chloe which means green, yellow or something along the lines of plants and flowers.

[LadyDame77]

wat does it mean? and what's the background of the song I wonder? who's chloris?

[annanananananana]

Amazing...

[Merwan11b]

gorgeous melody ! prodigious

beautiful slide too

love it

[amayaros]

sublime

[vrsing]

So beautifully sung and sensitive. She is always a treasure.

[camstardust]

full of grace...

[susseFee]

It's so beautiful and so sad :(

[marupaco]

Menuda belleza y gusto cantando. Precioso.

[manrico29]

The very sensitive and subtle Hahan songs have found another great interpreter.

Brava, Susan, for giving us such delight !!!

[olympieta]

Beautiful. I adore this song as well the video.

[corlyssd]

I used to think only a tenor, like Martyn Hill, could do justice to these songs. Then a friend played me the Graham. Blew me away.

[kapet222222]

czyste piękno/pure beauty

[Totanz]

Nice pictures, beautiful voice, thank you for sharing this wonderful video

[thepingpongmaster]

My friend Andrea sang this at my schools gala

[DivaKazza]

Absolutely beautiful.

[fan2jnrc]

Oh allora sei colto! ;-) scusami...

[crawfishpeeler]

How beautiful is the music and the paintings are lovely ! Trés bién!

[kleinbittersdorf]

Très belle composition et avec une voix suprême !

[perlimpli]

esto si es cantar

[DDBconducts]

A n18th century pastiche accompagnement under a mediocre melody on a poem "qui ne vole pas très haut" . An aberration for any musicologist. BUT out of a miracle, appears a rare masterpiece one having to be deaf and idiot not to recognise....

[dawidkimberg]

Such a beautiful video! Thank you!

[MajaDayWong]

the women on the bench against the yellow wall, green hat, green dress

who painted that????

[xavisuescun]

"Sogni" (1896) by Vittorio Corcos, italian painter (1859-1933)

[dzhuljano]

it is sublime. Simply.

It reminds me Proust's moving pages about his grandmother's death.

thank you for posting.

[fan2jnrc]

dzhuljano, it reminds you Proust's pages, and by the way, the composer, Reynaldo Hahn, was Proust's lover!

[dzhuljano]

as a matter of fact, i knew ;-)

[noecasas]

This is so beautiful!!

[chantalmauro]

The best and sweetest performance possible...

[josiefarout]

Heavenly also are the lyrics: If it is true, Chloris, tha you do love me--and I have heard, you love me well--then I do believe kings themselves could hardly match my happiness. Death would be most inopportune to come and alter my good fortune just to please the heavens! All that is said of ambrosia can hardly compare to the magic of your eyes bestowing their gaze on me.

[yellrank]

Une mélodie, à la fois, hantante, charmante et pleine de joie. Et les tableaux! Je crois que je suis, personnellement, responsable d'au moins le quart des vues - je l'ai même ajoutée à mes vidéos favorites! Merci infiniment pour l'avoir partagée:) (J'ai hâte de visionner vos autres vidéos.)

[brunoanguera]

De qui sont ces tableux si charmants?

[jreterno]

So lovely! When I'm listening this music I think it's possible to die by love.

[elenikiroy]

So so beautiful. Hahn was a genius, for all the reasons this performance is so perfect - sheer, understated emotion. It's almost Mozartian in its simplicity and power.

[QuintusVIIV]

just don't get it. there is so much great music for voice. this is just uninteresting entertainment. no direction, no structure, just one nice idea...! is of course a matter of taste, but don´t think this has really lasting values...

[Farentii]

Очень красиво*)

[marioegorga]

Juste sunblime !

[Mezzocolorature]

Rien à dire. C'est tout simplement parfait

[seaio18]

me acabo de quedar sin palabras. estas son las gratitudes que a veces nos sorprenden en la música. gracias

[MusicismyheartXO]

her voice was perfect for this!

[Genauxbr]

She made a recital last month (august 18 and 19) in São Paulo, Brazil singing wonderfully "Les Nuits d'Été", Berlioz. After the recital I went to her dressing-room at the Sala São Paulo Concert Hall and she played at the piano and sung this song for me and more 2 friends. A moment that I will never forget as long as I live. I love you Mrs. Graham !

[skylark100]

Ravishing, simply ravishing.

[asisecanta]

WOW!

[GEF69]

one of the best interpretations I've heard of this song. Mrs. Graham has such a warm and embracing sound that it seems this song was written for her voice. Brava!

[VieilEtang]

Sublime interprétation, phrasé parfait...Quelle émotion!!!

[MrQuebec]

Très juste!!!
