From the recording sessions of Jonas Kaufmann's "Romantic Arias".
"Ach so fromm" is from "Martha", an opera in four acts, by Friedrich von Flotow; words by Wilhelm Friedrich Riese. The plot is based on a French ballet pantomime by Jules H. Vernoy and Marquis St. Georges.


The music of "Martha", has an elegance that not only is quite unlike any music that has come out of Germany, but is typically French. Flotow, in fact, was French in his musical training, and both the plot and score of "Martha" were French in origin.

  • Die Behauptung in der Beschreibung, dass diese Musik für Deutschland untypisch "elegant" sei, ist ja wohl eine Frechheit.

  • Es dreht sich in diesem Video aber um Musik und nicht um Fahrräder. Bach, Schubert, Brahms etc. sind also primitiv?

    Außerdem ist Uneleganz sehr vielen anderen Völkern zu eigen, und ich empfinde es einfach als unsinnig, durch die Blume zu sagen, deutsche Komponisten seien unsensible Rüpel.

  • em 1.41 - que mulher linda.!!!!

  • His voice look like Domingo!

  • Hier singen "zwei Kaufmaenner"! Er startet wie ueblich mit seiner typischen Knoedelei, die Toene tief in den Rachen versetzt, besinnt sich jedoch seiner alten Qualitaeten und faengt auf einmal an zu singen. Vielleicht kommt er nun endlich zur Vernunft und rettet dadurch seine Stimme!

  • @KiNgOfKaRaBiNeR You mean portamento...

  • @Pathetikos He's so not having vocal troubles...He's getting better by the year...His singing is based on a perfectly balanced head and chest sound. And it seems like he is finding the balance better and better. Also a tenor who can sing Mozart, Puccini and Wagner at this level must have a good technique. You're just not used to hearing this kind of singing anymore.

  • man crush, activate.

  • @Glenmed if only he lived much longer than Fritz Wunderlich:(

  • @muschnik1961 es ist wahr:), und ein zufall: ich mag sehr Kaufmann and Wunderlich :).

  • i love it when i hear him singing german music.

  • Gran voz. Casi un barítono.
