Beautiful opera singer Kathleen Battle singing wonderfully the waltz "Voices of Spring" by Johann Strauss II written in 1882. This was in 1987 in Vienna. Conductor is Herbert von Karajan. "Frühlingsstimmen" Die Lerche in blaue Höh entschwebt, der Tauwind weht so lau; sein wonniger milder Hauch belebt und küßt das Feld, die Au. Der Frühling in holder Pracht erwacht, ah, alle Pein zu End mag sein, alles Leid, entflohn ist es weit! Schmerz wird milder, frohe Bilder, Glaub an Glück kehrt zurück; Sonnenschein, ah dringt nun ein, ah, alles lacht, ach, ach, erwacht! Da strömt auch der Liederquell, der zu lang schon schien zu schweigen; klingen hört dort wieder rein und hell süße Stimmen aus den Zweigen! Ah, leis' läßt die Nachtigall schon die ersten Töne hören, um die Kön'gin nicht zu stören, schweigt, ihr Sänger all! Voller schon klingt bald ihr süßer Ton. Ach ja bald, ah, ah ja bald! Ah, ah, ah, ah! 1. Sang der Nachtigall, holder Klang, 2. ah ja! 3. Liebe durchglüht, ah, ah , ah, 4. tönet das Lied, ah und der Laut, 5. süß und traut, scheint auch Klagen zu tragen, 6. ah ah wiegt das Herz in süße Träumerein, 7. ah, ah, ah, ah, leise ein! Sehnsucht und Lust ah ah ah wohnt in der Brust, ah, wenn ihr Sang lockt so bang, funkelnd feme wie Sterne, ah ah zauberschimmernd wie des Mondes Strahl, ah ah ah ah wallt durchs Tal! Kaum will entschwinden die Nacht, Lerchensang frisch erwacht, ah, Licht kommt sie kunden, Schatten entschwinden! ah! Ah des Frühlings Stimmen klingen traut, ah ja .... + Informações

Kathleen Battle - O Luce di Quest'anima (Ah Tardai Troppo) In september 1991 the Metropolitan Opera celebrated it's 25th anniversary at Lincoln Center by performing three different acts from a selection of popular Met productions. In the final act (act II of Die Fledermaus) there were some special guest performances by highly renowned opera stars. One of the guests was Kathleen Battle. She sung "Ah Tardai Troppo O Luce di Quest'anima" from Donizetti's opera "Linda di Chamounix". James Levine is conducting. The idea behind these clips was to provide a High Quality version of these aria's on YouTube. Unfortunately the YT encoding creates an artificial noise in the peaks. I hope you still can enjoy this. The Source for this video was a DG laserdisc. The release on DVD is planned on May 3rd 2010. Yeah it's spelled grammophon... Who can spell that without an error?

Franz Schubert composed the music for this spellbinding opera-like song at the request of one his opera singer friends who wished to showcase her ability to express a wide range of feelings through her voice. He used the words from Wilhelm Muller's two poems and added two verses from Karl August Varnhagen von Ense (and not by Wilhelmina von Chézy as I have shown in the video). The Shepherd on the Rock (Der Hirt auf dem Felsen) D 965 Voice: Kathleen Battle Composer: Franz Schubert (1797-1828) Clarinet: Karl Leister Piano: James Levine Words by: Wilhelm Müller (1794-1827) and Karl August Varnhagen von Ense (and not by Helmina von Chézy) Video clips taken from: BBC Planet Earth The ballet Coppelia by The Bolshoi Ballet Dying Swan by Uliana Lopatkina from the ballet Swan Lake Kathleen Battle Live from Japan and two video scenes (the mountain drive and the birds soaring in the blue sky) captured by my camera German lyrics: Wilhelm Müller -- Der Berghirt Wenn auf dem höchsten Fels ich steh', In's tiefe Tal hernieder seh', Und singe. Fern aus dem tiefen dunkeln Tal Schwingt sich empor der Widerhall Der Klüfte. Je weiter meine Stimme dringt, Je heller sie mir wieder klingt Von unten. Mein Liebchen wohnt so weit von mir, Drum sehn' ich mich so heiß nach ihr Hinüber. Varnhagen -- Nächtlicher Schall In tiefem Gram verzehr ich mich, Mir ist die Freude hin, Auf Erden mir die Hoffnung wich, Ich hier so einsam bin. So sehnend klang im Wald das Lied, So sehnend klang es durch die Nacht .... + Informações

"Sua voz ainda ecoa no meu coração" O nome desta linda canção é "Lovers" (Amantes). É tema do filme "House of Flying Daggars.", composição (letra e música) de Shigeru Umebayashi, interpretação da soprano Kathleen Battle. Usei para as cenas de "Memoirs of a Geisha" (?????? - Memórias de uma Gueixa), drama de 2005, com Chiyo (Suzuka Ohgo), Zhang Ziyi (Sayuri). Acho que ficou maneiro. Sinopse: Chiyo (Suzuka Ohgo) foi vendida a uma casa de gueixas quando ainda era menina, em 1929, onde é maltratada pelos donos e por Hatsumomo (Gong Li), uma gueixa que tem inveja de sua beleza. Acolhida por Mameha (Michelle Yeoh), a principal rival de Hatsumomo, Chiyo ao crescer se torna a gueixa Sayuri (Zhang Ziyi). Reconhecida, ela passa a desfrutar de uma sociedade repleta de riquezas e privilégios até que a 2ª Guerra Mundial modifica radicalmente sua realidade no Japão.. + Informações
