Alek Shrader "Ah Mes Amis"

[@ksmithsoprano]

I loved him when i was watching The Audition. The temerity he had to learn Ah Mes Amis the week of finals to perform! Astounding! And he performed it well! If anyone ever hears that the documentary will be released on DVD, I want to know!

bravo bella voce

[@210nanny]

He is sooo good!! and fun :) We need more of his videos!

[@klassicalkid90]

He is amazing!!!! I would love to hear this performed by a countertenor. I feel like it would be very entertaining.

He has absolutely owned this aria. Each note and phrase has perfect placement, with an unusual masculinity for a lyric-leggerio. I especially like 0:56 where the Bb really grabs the listener by surprise.

[@BenCMusician]

he has a right to show off, he's amazing

okay? I am working on this aria and thought and still think that its fabulous. In fact, since at the moment,coachings are unavailable to me I figured Mr. Shrader would be someone to listen because Im betting he has been coached on this a million times but I went to my piano, its electronic, and played the C's and in this recording either his high notes are b's or my piano settings are off. Can someone check and see.

@enj06 and you can see the whole "audition" on met player now.
