Allerseelen (Strauss) | Masterclass - Soile Isokoski

[@pawdaw]

Isokoski is wonderful - full of good advice, practical, encouraging. Free of ego and always focused on the performers. Delightful to see her work with these fine young singers.

[@emiliapitkala5955]

I think exactly the same.😊

[@ctafrance]

The best part is when Isokoski says...usually when you don't get the note right it is because you did something wrong EARLIER. so true. i think you know you're starting to get the hang of it when you find yourself stopping while practicing alone, not liking the way a note or series of notes came out, and you instinctively start going back to the build up to it to figure out how you can do it differently so the high note comes out better---because you KNOW you have that note, and so something ELSE you did must have gotten in the way.

Interesting....

[@Fhionnan]

OMG Soil Isokosky is such a wonderful person!!!!! It reminds me of a video from BB King teaching guitar by mostly beeing friendly and positive. I watched a masterclass on "Zauberflöte" and the comments were closed there. So glad I can show my appreciation here

[@richardvergara]

I like how Ms. Isokoski didn’t say much and let her figure it out. With just a few words, she took it so openly and interpretively. Don’t need much...and it’s so beautiful.

What a great masterclass! The vocalist responded so well to the artist!

[@benildelarios07]

[@friedulinequakquak7127]

So gerat to see this work! Just beautiful! I love to follow the process.

[@davidsuratgar7278]

What superb performances to cheer the soul .l loved the Strauss.

[@ellasego7774]

Wonderful advice- I perform this song often as well and a lot of the corrections the singer received are almost the same as mine. I come back to this master class whenever I need to repolish this piece.

[@emilyphillips8387]

Really good! Perfect pronounciation, easy to understand

[@green7apocalyptica]

I love how she mixes english and german😍

[@fuga9]

Nice experience to me ..shouldn’t neglect any of it. I can feel the love of a great teacher's disciple.

[@Мороз-о7я]

Sarah Dufresne's voice to amazing too!!! but i can't write to comment under her video! she sang "night of the queen"

[@dinarayelmurat6524]

i luv it😪😪😪

[@NikoHL]

Who is the student ?

[@jamessmith1929]

There is always something I always wondered about this poem . Is the lover dead, or is the love dead? Or is the poem deliberately ambiguous. Thoughts?

[@miguelyupiano]

I think either interpretation is valid, and the poet or composer didn't seem to explicitly state it one way or the other. Base on my impression, the first and second verse seems like the love is dead, but the last verse seems like the lover is dead.

[@theoneandonlymagnum]

I know I'm extremely late with this response, but my interpretation has always been that neither party is dead but the love is dead. This is an attempt to revive their love even though it has already been dead and buried. Hope this helps

[@maxasian]

The text should be for men to sing???

[@nancyrevzen7798]

Diction???Interpretation,any?????

[@thevoicepath]

Fine German but a lot of stress from the muscles around her neck. Release this tension and your voice will be even on a higher level.

[@michaelarivony7409]

I do agree with you. I realise, from niw speaking German fluently, that german has such flow. More than Italian. And when I sing, it makes such a difference when we just allow the air to do the work.

[@nancyrevzen7798]

played beautifully. sang blandly

[@celibidache1000]

Underdeveloped chest voice and uncoordinated registers.

[@flav2689]

Why so negative? I’m not a professional but even I can here there is some work that needs to be done. But she has a pretty voice and it was quite a good performance as a whole. So, why such a rough perspective? She’s young, have some mercy. :D

[@celibidache1000]

@@flav2689 Is it negative to point out technical flaws? I understand well that her voice can appear to sound quite beautiful to untrained ears, but in reality it's built on tensions and constrictions. If she doesn't radically change her technique, her voice will collapse within 10 years (probably less). Her voice is holding together only because of her youth.

[@flav2689]

It’s the way you say it (very blunt, harsh - arrogant even) than pointing out some flaws in general. People can do that in a more respectlful way. Okay, I see where you are coming from with that, but do tell - why didn’t the coach (who is a very succesful and highly respected soprano herself) say any of that? She could have easily made the same point commenting differently, in a more friendly and softer way. She didn’t even hint that. Why?

[@celibidache1000]

@@flav2689 But isn't it the singer's responsibility to let me know if I've offended her? You're being offended on the behalf of someone else... She didn't point it out mainly because masterclasses in singing are pointless, unless the singer has great technique, or unless the teacher is a master of teaching singing technique.

[@PatateRoussoiste]

Uncalled blunt critic and scornful comment.
