Saw Bryn Terfel at Tanglewood in recital several years ago. The amazing thing about him was just how much he was enjoying himself--in fact he didn't want to stop. After a couple of hours, he launched into a series of encores. Then he took requests. Then he remarked on how acoustically wonderful the space was and announced he would "test" it by singing as loud as he could. IDK, maybe he was on something 🤪 but it was FABULOUS!!! I will never forget it.

Sir Bryn’s career started after the famous ‘Battle of the Baritones’ during the 1989 ‘Cardiff Singer of the World’ competition. He was definitely the favourite, especially being Welsh, but it was a very strong final and he was pipped at the post by the great Russian, Mr Dimitri Hvorostovsky.

Ive always like this rendition. Since he's adding he's own flair and antics into the song, it adds a layer of personality thats similar to the original but otherwise personal. What i mean is that in the original, the emotion you get is akin to "Sigh, I know its not everything, but wouldn't it be nice to be rich". In this one its "I know its not eveything, but come on! Wouldnt it be nice to be rich!?" Its that subtle difference that I like.
@GaryWaldman3 ай бұрын
Sure. Great choices make great performances. These weren’t great choices though imo. The cadences and often cynical delivery we saw from Mostel, Bernardi, and Topol were unmistakably East European Jewish. This would be perfect if it was a performance of La Mancha or Sweeney Todd. As Tevye… I don’t know. Didn’t do it for me.

They would ask me to advise them like a Solomon the Wise "If you please, Reb Tevye..." "Pardon me, Reb Tevye..." Posing problems that would cross a rabbi's eyes! And it won't make one bit of difference if I answer right or wrong When you're rich, they think you really know! If I were rich, I'd have the time that I lack to sit in the synagogue and pray And maybe have a seat by the Eastern wall And I'd discuss the holy books with the learned men, several hours every day And that would be the sweetest thing of all If I were a rich man Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum All day long, I'd biddy biddy bum If I were a wealthy man I wouldn't have to work hard Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum Lord, who made the lion and the lamb You decreed I should be what I am Would it spoil some vast eternal plan If I were a wealthy man?
