Bryn Terfel - Miei Rampolli Femminini

[sartrific]

The best - the very best - unbeatable Terfel! I love him - he is a gift to the world! But when did he sing this?

[edmanetti]

HORRIBLE!!! That's not Rossini !!!

[ajbweiner]

Fantastic!!!!!!!! full voice in all the colorature, excellent vis comica, big volume, beautiful voice. He is God.

[ajbweiner]

Fantastic!!!!!!!!

[eurydike]

i can´t believe how good he is, not only in singing, but in acting too:-) such a beautiful voice, and he is so handsome.

[gerhards1313]

(3) That ass is me. Anyone who looks at you can see clearly That the donkey is your father. A most fertile queen Each of you will become; And the grandpa will embrace A dozen of offspring. A little king here… your servant; A baby king there… your servant; And the glory will be mine, yes! And the grandpa will embrace A dozen grandchildren And the glory will be mine.

[gerhards1313]

(2) There sprouted feathers. And into the air, whoosh, he flew! And on the top of a bell-tower, As if on a throne, he stopped . The bells could be heard ringing below Ding, dong… with your yip yip yap yap suddenly you came to wake me up. with your yip yip yap yap suddenly you made me wake up. But of such an intricate dream Here is the symbolism explained: The bells ringing festively? Joy in the house. Those feathers? They are you. That great flight? Plebians, farewell.

[gerhards1313]

Don Magnifico’s daughters have wake up their father. He tells them about his dream he had. My female offspring I disown you; I’m ashamed! You’ve disrupt a magnificent dream of mine. How mortified they are Worthy daughters of a baron! Now then, be quiet and pay attention. Just ponder the dream. I dreamt, between darkness and light, of a most beautiful donkey. A donkey, but majestic. When all of a sudden, Oh what a wonder, Upon his shoulders, by the hundreds

[lunedejour]

does anyone know the context of this song? or can someone explain the lyrics because i don't understand what he is talking about and it's frustrating!!

[cadukas1]

awesome acting and singing!?!?!?!

[coracleman]

what rubbish - terfel is on great form as usual!

coraclewoman

[ducadibudapest]

Immortal Rossini! But terrible interpretation of this beautiful Aria for Buffo Bass.

Hear the great Paolo Montarsolo!!!! The greatest Don Magnifico!|

[Pudersepp]

@ducadibudapest

Maybe you are just used to something specific? But I guess taste is not to be argued.

[KrazyDukMan]

Absolutely amazing.

[JuanDiegooooo]

Il est... ENORME !!!

[meluzyna55]

rewelka

[anselgoya]

[Gwallteriedig77]

Wow. Sensational!

[mightymoo1]

Brilliant! This is the right rep for him too!! Awesome performer!! I wish that he had stayed in this rep for abit longer as this is him at his best!

[zegermans750]

they certainly went fast enough

[fabvier]

IMMORTAL ROSSINI

[rrgallo]

This must be sufficient proof that this is not a role for tired and dry old buffo baritones/basses...........Inc­redibly good.

[rrgallo]

Fantastic interpretation!!!!!!!!!!! Vocally impecable..

[DoryViolet]

Just love it!!!!!!

Bryan singing+acting = awesomeness

[dejatucoro]

At his vocal peak, his vocal best. He was in the ZONE!!!!!

[tehen162]

This is priceless. Bravissimo!

[arisargiris]

Legendary Terfel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dorbbb]

One of the best ever the vioce is just amazing. the wonderful and powefull big voice and also a delicste small voice. Just great.

[rexeterna]

one of the best voices ever? give me a break

[timeroominot]

Does anyone have any idea what he's saying in english? I'm going to be performing this for my state choral festival a few months from now but I'd love to know what I'm singing about, exactly. Thanks!

[1TouchUltra]

This is taken from another video of the same aria on You Tube: I'm ashamed of you, my offspring! I should disown you! You disgrace me. I had a magnificent dream But you interrupted it. Daughter of a Baron should be respectful. Now be silent and attentive Meditate upon my dream. I was half asleep, half awake. I dreamed of a magnificent donkey. From his shoulders, suddenly he sprouted wings! Then he sat upon a steeple as if it were a throne. Below, bell were chiming. (Ding, dong, ding dong)...

[1TouchUltra]

Lyrics part 2 Then your silly chatter woke me up. What a complicated dream Here the symbols are explained. The ringing bells? Joy in this household. The wings? You two! The flight? Farewell to commoners! Then there's the ass. That ass is me! Anyone who sees you knows your father is that ass. Both of you will become fertile queens. Grandpa will have a dozen babies to hug! A little king here, a tiny king there. What glory for me!

[matthieusarah]

what I like with Bryn Terfel is that he always allows himself to make funny tricks with the music but nonetheless he never prejudices it. That is a thing Hvorostovsky, (I mention him because of the video "the battle of baritones")is absolutely incapable to do.

[matthieusarah]

I just love you, Bryn

[jws2718]

I think the quality I love most about Terfel is how he manages to give such an involved and convincing characterization, even in a concert performance.

[Perfidiame]

Love him, love him. No other like him.

[Alessandramarcano]

Bello...!!

[breberto]

Ogni volta che lo vedo in un video penso che è un grandissimo cantante, musicista e interprete, animale da palcoscenico, come si dice. Ero curioso di sentire quest'aria, così difficile per un cantante non italiano e mi pare che ne sia uscito con molto onore, anche sul piano della pronuncia. Sempre ammirevole, poi, la sua straordinaria teatralità, anche nei concerti.

[Bigman240]

A wonderful voice and actor, but there are still some problems with the consonants, and I personally prefer this aria sung by an Italian basso buffo.

[Rafaello251]

Very good actor and singer.I love his voice.

[kosmanumut]

I Lost my mind. He's great. Opera is not only nice voice but only ability of acting. Thanks Bryn Terfel

[julessdj]

Absolutely fantastic interpretation of the Rossini wit! I was so enthused that I clapped my hands alone before my computer.

[hakalaMAN]

Yes he is very good. Go to search and type Denis Isakovic. He is Dulcamara!! and he have very good voice (like Bariton&Bass at same time-both!). If you know who is Ghiaurov, than you try to "see" this graet voice, hmm,maybe better, even from Bryn Terfel. People need comments. THNX!

[luisamiller]

Quel merveilleux comédien et quel artiste exceptionnel. Rossini lui va comme un gant. Merci Monsieur Terfel.

[leonardocello]

Allright... he is my favorite singer from now on. What an interpretation!!!

[leonardocello]

Man! Listen to those low notes! Woooa!! He's an incredible baritone!

[Germania72]

Oooooooooooooooooooh! He's so charming! And I'm not an opera lover...I'm a Terfel's lover...hehehehe!

[anankhe15]

Bravo, bravissimo Bryn Terfel!

[yourehavingalarf]

Recorded during the big man´s ´mullet´ phase.

[redsox2213]

when was this?

[CALLASPUCCINI]

Bryn Terfel un Don Magnifico spettacolare

[baculkar]

Bravo, Bravissimo Bryn Terfel, bravo, bravo, Absolutly excellent voice, real Don Magnifico from La Cenerentola

[Perfidiame]

There is none better than Bryn. No matter what he sings. Thank you so much for posting it, do you have more??

[Gwallteriedig77]

I couldn't agree with you more. Absolute theatre and what a voice! His Wagner as well as his Schubert Lieder recitals are stuff that legends are made of.
