I was a flute, piano and piccolo player so I love love classical music.
I know for some it sounds dark, moody, frightening, but I just canât escape itâs pull whenever I hear it. Many years later Lara Fabian brought a version with lyrics and since then many other singers performed this piece of music.
By now you could guess that I once had a sleeping disorder and such pieces helped me relax
One could know, often used especially in the drama Autumnâs Concerto
I know popular pieces but canât do without them, itâs so hard to chose.
I will stop here or you will either fall asleep or feel depressed.
That made me laugh! I might use these tonight. I listen to rain, thunder and fireplace to sleep to most nights that I donât even know if it is really raining or not!
I love Air on the G string and Moonlight Sonata
Adagio is so beautiful gives you all the FEELS - oh my gosh this is so beautiful!
Pachelbel
Full Disclosure - I CANNOT stand Pachelbel even though I have sung his stuff multiple times in choir. Not not not my favorite.
I always say "Go to He#$ Pachelbel"
There are so many Ave Marias - Bach and Schubert are the most famous and somehow I like the Schubert version a little better. So if you ever order a singer to perform Ave Maria in a church, be sure you were talking about the right version.
And this one live in a church gives me goosebumps all the time, you canât use it to fall asleep âŠ
A few more versions of Ave Marias that I like and are really pretty.
=====================================================
There are also other versions that are not as well known such as these:
Beethoven - FĂŒr Elise
Dmitri Shostakovich - Waltz No.2
Johann Pachelbel - Canon in D Major
I learned the
chorus
for a presentation as part of my grade for music.
it, and aced music.
Iâve heard this piece many times, especially in some of the old Korean movies and such, and never knew who composed it before. It definitely has the old Russian feel.
I love Puccini, so this is one of my favorites:
âO mio babbino caroâ and the wonderful Maria Calllas, she had such a stunning voice.
And of course âUn bel di vedremoâ from Madame Butterfly, but in this case I love the version from Kiki te Kanawa more.
My mother loves Jacques Offenbach and I grew up with âHoffmanns ErzĂ€hlungenâ, and this is the best of all, âBacaroleâ. Itâs quite difficult to find a version without Anna N. (I canât stand her), so just for listening:
This one is so funny and I love it, too. I canât understand, how they are able to be so serious.
Duetto buffo di due gatti by Rossini
Another âAdagioâ I like but too often forget the composer, thankfully I found it on his channel.
Whatâs that like for the audience, who has no clue ! I wonder, how many singers do that . . .this makes you think. . .
Hahahahaha! I donât sing that! I just THINK it!
I may have to revise my statement after hearing that
Can I ask why you donât like her? I know that she has a huge fandom as well as those who canât stand her for one reason or another. I have my own opinion, but was curious why you donât like her.
Here it goes, I find this part very emotional, it is if you understand the lyrics but itâs in Czech from the Opera Rusalka by Antonin Dvorak, Rusalka is a wood fairy sort of⊠singing about the moon, the scene is in the woods/forest near water and the moon is shining and sheâs asking the moon where her lover is, and to tell him that sheâs waiting for him⊠the moon is slowly disappearing behind the clouds and sheâs asking him not to extinguishâŠ
Beautiful Thank You!!!
Schubertâs Standchen (Serenade) by one of my favorite sopranos, Hei-Kyung Hong.
I donât like her voice and her attitude. Whenever I hear her voice, it sounds kind of âpressed outâ she has a âhardnessâ in her voice and it lacks lightness and tenderness. Her attitude just triggers me, she is so overconfident and self-satisfied, I know, this is a personal issue.
Simi posted the Netrebko version of âRusalka - Song to the Moonâ and although I never watched the Opera nor the movie from 1977, I know this song. And there is one version of a legendary Czech singer, if you compare both versions, maybe you can understand, why I prefer her voice over Netrebkoâs voice.
I agree with you on her singing techniques, as I donât care for the thick, darkened and âpressedâ soprano voice. But I do like her attitude and acting. She seems to really enjoy what she does and it shows in her acting. Also I was touched when I saw the way she interacts with her autistic son during the backstage interview.
I love the light and clear lyrical or coloratura soprano voices. The Czech singer sounds heavenly. Some of my favorites are lyric soprano Hei-Kyung Hong as I posted above, and bright and light coloratura sopranos, such as Sumi Jo (absolutely the best coloratura soprano in my opinion!), Kathleen Battle (now, her attitude is another story, but her voice is angelic), and young and talented Lisette Oropesa to name a few.
Hereâs Lucia Poppâs version of Rusalka that I think is really good. Even though her voice is not as light as what I typically go for, but itâs still very silky and rich and beautiful.
