Dame Kiri Te Kanawa sings "Après un rêve"

[theblueangel28]

sublime..perfect as always

[Wally773MTG]

What shitty pronunciation...

[tcradical]

Such a romantic song to be sung sooo coldly! She is great at some things and has a wonderful instrument and technique but at this song she sucks.

[ksmithsoprano]

@tcradical Romantic? It's tragic. Faure wrote this after his engagement ended. The text is talking about being haunted by the image of the lover in a dream, and preferring the lies of the dream to cold reality.

[tcradical]

@ksmithsoprano Thanks! :)

[tcradical]

@ksmithsoprano I knew what it was talking about, I did not know the text was linked to that sad event in Faure's life. Thanks again.

[htshoward]

@tcradical I agree. Like ice.

Une belle interprétation Kiri Te.

[mordoquiojunelle]

it has been a year when i commented on this video,.but it still gives me shivers!!!!

[arnesensopera]

Wonderful Kiri ! I had the pleasure to sing this song /Melodie also with Roger Vignoles. It's very important to have a good pianist during a recital !

[sopera123]

oh how sweet it was to listen and watch. i've sung this piece many times but she opened a new window and took me there with her interpretation. wow. I'm so impressed. brava

[lmsubramaniam]

She starts a little shaky, and not so into it... but then I think she feels its by "eclaire par l'aurore"...

I think in "tu m'apellais" she should've gotten more forte

[urgrad03]

Delightful

splendida coppia.... bellisssima voce morbida e carezzevole la giovane te kanawa.... gran classe vignoles....

[mordoquiojunelle]

one day i will be like dame kiri.you are so inspiring.

[operviva]

Ella es superba......que gusto para cantar

esta cancion es la mas linda cancion francesa jamas escrita.

[Rapicienta]

Nadie como la Hendricks cantando esta canción, me pareció algo fría esta interpretación, el texto es desbordante, apasionado, y ella no me lo transmitió, pero hizo una linda versión, no conocía este recital de canciones francesas, ojalá que lo pueda comprar en algún sitio, gracias por colgarlo!

[Rinart31]

completamente de acuerdo!! para interpretar obras de Fauré nadie mejor de Hendricks! con todo se desplante emocional tan rico y por lo demás muy presente en la música de este gran romántico =). aún así la voz de Te Kanawa debo admitirla como un pequeño placer, cremosa, delicada, muy señorial. siempre es un gusto escuchar alguna interpretación de ella =)
