great, but close the lid on that piano next time!

[KV4671]

praise to Bryan and also to the pianoplayer

[KV4671]

so what

[levitatenor86]

He' s no baritone. He' s a TENOR for God sake!!!

[KV4671]

In my opinion he is not sir

[damedesmontagnes]

This piece is written in D-Major, so for a baritone, the piece is sung in all head voice. I guess if you hear him singing in chest voice, then that means he really is a tenor because it would be impossible for a baritone to sing this in chest voice.

@damedesmontagnes You're ignorant.

My teacher studies with Bill!

[GeorgeMaxwellDuPre]

excellent and sensitive pianist and great voice. Some strange rubati in the Zueignung though. Fix that. Overall, good.

[Grigor99]

Wow! What a voice. BTW That's a high A sharp! Not an A. Give the guy the extra half step!

[GeorgeMaxwellDuPre]

The pianist is admirable.

[eddiepensier]

That's one hell of a high A

[supermusike]

Bryan, you´re wunderbar!

[Largo64]

Great voice, pure, secure and powerful on the highs!

[popertop]

What an incredible voice!

The sound is full and free, always moving.

Bryan has command of these songs musically and vocally. His singing is very exciting! I'm assuming the piano lid raised completely provided the necessary balance in the acoustic of the hall, but for the purposes of recording on YouTube, the piano sound is too "present" and the vocal sound too lacking in "presence." It's as though we're hearing directly from the piano and from the voice, only what is heard in the acoustic of the hall. As a promo for Bryan, however, it probably will do the job.

[thechinadesk]

The piano accompaniment does seem to intrude a little to much on the soloist's vocal.

Probably should have been mic'ed separately.

[DragTas]

Bravo!
