Les Berceaux by Gabriel Faure- Lauren Lutz

This is from my HS senior recital that I did with my friend Emily Rew (her pieces are available on here as well). Another battle in the war between myself and the French language! Nonetheless, a lullaby, a beautiful song about boats and the quay. My favorite.

(2/28/09) As an update I'd also like to add that I do NOT condone all the funky straight tone sections in this song. Even though this is a sweet slow song, it should really have no straight tone whatsoever, especially not on those high notes. Do as I say, not as I do!

I now study private voice at the Peabody Conservatory and major in International Relations at the Johns Hopkins University.

N.B. PLEASE DON'T BASH THE ACCOMPANIST. He is a very good friend, a very accomplished pianist, and he played this entire recital for free when he had much more important pieces to be learning and things to do.

You go to peabody?

[LaurenL90]

@ericbach1993 Long story..... But I actually go to Johns Hopkins, and study voice with a professor from Peabody. Of course this year I'm actually in Egypt and not studying voice at all..... meh oh well

[ronaldantoniosanchez]

you have a good voice...but don't mind me saying but you were flat in A LOT of places in this piece

[LaurenL90]

@ronaldantoniosanchez I don't mind at all, only because you're right though! I had more work to do singing at this tempo than I thought and the straight tone just throws everything off, the song and my pitch!

TRES BEAU enfin un vibrato utilisé à bon escient comme ornement ponctuel et non tout le temps et donc qui ne casse pas les oreilles et ni la mélodie.

Your's is my favorite version of this song on youtube by far :)

[DESANDREphilip]

Beaucoup trop lent! D'où des respirations anarchiques. Dommage

[92positivelyemerald]

um wow! I'm trying to learn this song right now! Way to go!! Really good job. Hope i can sound as good as you!

fabulous video :) Great voice. Perfect mix of vibrato for my taste.

I think you have a beautiful voice for a beautiful piece and I respect that a lot because I am trying to learn that song (well I have just started) and it is not easy at all--and I speak French fluently! :)

[NobodysBabyGirl3]

I'm a senior in college learning this song for my senior recital. I just wanted to know that your randition is so beautiful that I have been using it as a reference recording for my own learning. This is beautiful, especially from a high school student. Brava!

[klaireg]

gorgeous timbre! mezzo, yes?

[Bartach]

I don't see any need to apologize for the straight tones, I like them actually. I'm not a big fan of Vibrato singing, especially when it's very heavy and overdone, which is probably why I avoid most lieder and nearly all opera! Great job thanks for sharing!
