Precious little pearls from an evening of song i was lucky enough to hear live :-)
Especially for a dear friend, looking forward to enjoying one of these evenings together in a few months time :-)
Standchen
Auf der Brucke
Der Knabe und das Immlein
An die Geliebte
And this was the last encore of the evening, gently sending us home :-)))
Hotel
Enjoy everyone!
Thanks very much theflossie100 for sharing!!
And not at all meaning to spoil the "spleen"... but if you haven't seen and heard it yet, RUN, RUN RUN!!! While it's still on, it's a gorgeous night at the opera!! I've seen it 3 times and could do with 3 more!
Macbeth Backstage
Your dear friend is right know looking like Pavlov's doggie. But happy ! And yes, looking forward one of those evenings together, with him, magic is guaranteed :)))))
ReplyDelete@Kende these are really precious :-))) I love him when he sings lieder and can't wait to hear what he will sing nextm gutted that i have to miss him this month i think because of being away :-(
ReplyDeleteAnd how about that!! Did u know it was Roberto's birthday today? :-)
Nice to have you posting again! Thanks for sharing these lovely Lieder... I'd love to hear Keenlyside in recital myself. If I may ask, are you planning on writing up the Macbeth? I'd be interested to read your take on it.
ReplyDeleteI join Lucy. Lots more H postings, please.
ReplyDeleteOn some tangentially related topics:
-first saw SK as Figaro count in Munich w/amazing Countess who is now one of 2 greatest Marschallins.
-that same Countess also sang role beautifully at the Met
-SK also singing Count in Munich next season - it been like 25 years for him with the role
-his last Count I saw was at Met with AH as Countess
-just saw AH as Marschallin in Munich - pure luxury!!
See how it all fits together?
Thanks for the videos. He is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteToo bad he had to cancel his latest recitals at Wigmore Hall and at the Schubertiade in Austria but his father, Raymond Keenlyside, passed away recently.
Did you know that his father was a prominent figure in classical music too? Raymond Keenlyside was long a member of the famous Aeolian String Quartet and played the Violin.
Back to Simon: Did you see him in the ROH Macbeth? No report this time?
