Diana Ankudinova - What a Wonderful World - DDD Reacts!

Finally got to introduce my girls to Diana, and they absolutely loved her! I also couldn't get enough of Brandon Stone and the awesome faces he made while playing the piano. He clearly felt the music and is one happy guy!

2% of all females in the world are Contraltos, Dramatic Contraltos that are the deepest, darkest most powerful of the Contraltos you can count on your hands, Polyphonic Dramatic Contralto with 4 octaves range at the age of 20 there is only one, i do not have to mention the name. Brandon Stone is a great artist, singer, song writer and composer. He first heard Diana at the age of 16 and decided to write and compose a song for her. Since then they have collaborated many times, he composed most of her original songs and he even wrote some of them. As for Diana's story, she has been abused by her biological mother and at the age of 3 she was abandoned with a brocken collarbone. She ended up in an orphanage where a lady that was a masseuse in a sanatorium where the children of the orphanage visited decided to adopt her. Diana had speech problems from the neglect so her stepmother was advised to provide singing lessons to her and so her talents were discovered. If you are interested in Diana's story there is a mini documentary called "Find yourself" The inspirational story of Diana Ankudinova, you can check it out.

[@user-hc3dj2lh8s]

A small clarification; Brandon heard Diana for the first time much earlier when he worked with children at a competition as an arranger of numbers on NTV, and wrote the song when Diana was almost 16. There is a video of rehearsals before the concert of Brandon Stone and Diana.

Благодаря Диане Анкудиновой иногда происходят самые неожиданные вещи. Например, встреча Луи Армстронга и Владимира Высоцкого - которая не могла бы произойти ни при каких других обстоятельствах. Американский папа просвещает своих дочерей - и в результате происходит короткая встреча двух культур и двух цивилизаций. Чтобы получше разобраться, с чем они столкнулись, им понадобится время - и если они его потратят, то никогда об этом не пожалеют. В любом случае, этому американцу и его дочерям большой респект за их попытку поближе познакомиться с этими яркими и незаурядными феноменами нашей культуры. Эта попытка наш разваливающийся мир спасти не поможет, но виртуальные связи пока ещё остаются и даже немного укрепляются. Диана Анкудинова здесь выполняет роль посредника - и это одна из очень важных ролей для любого настоящего артиста...

[@elena-var]

Уверена, Диана делает для популяризации русской музыки и культуры в целом больше многих, и это дорогого стоит.

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

That was very well said, and I appreciate it completely. Thank you!

The finest contemporary female vocalist since Nina Simone. And it won't be long.

There he entered the prestigious Berlin Conservatory "Hans Eisler", where he received a professional musical education. Brandon now lives in Russia. Brandon's family is a Russian wife named Natalia and two adorable babies. Brandon met Diana when she was 14 years old. Since then, Brandon has composed more than 20 songs for Diana.

Верно. Только уточнение - Бесик это уменьшительное от полного имени Бессарион (русский вариант этого имени - Виссарион)

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

Thank you for that info. I can't wait to see him perform more with her!

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

Thank you for that - Russian diminutives are always something I've had trouble with. I took some Russian literature in college many years ago and the diminutive names were often so different from the proper names that I often didn't realize it was referring to the same person!

Just a note for the DDD family: Diana Ankudinova does not speak English. She has sung in seven languages. This song just goes to show, there are many sides to her skill and talent. Try getting the family together for one or two of her performances from "You Are Super". I think you would all really enjoy "Wicked Game" in English, or perhaps "Rechenka" in Russian. They are truly classics. Thanks for your reaction. 👍

@@Werty19_88 На портале "Хроники Дюны" язык Чакобса (англ. Chakobsa) называют магнетическим языком. Это охотничий язык; язык наемных убийц первой Войны ассасинов. Чакобса - секретный язык секты Бене Гессерит, фрименов Арракиса; боевой язык Дома Атрейдес. Но был еще Галакт (англ. Galach) - официальный имперсеий язык англо-славянского происхождения с вкраплениями различных культур и миграционных анклавов человечества. В расшифровке песни-призыва Дианы я исходил из логики, что призыв на священную войну должен звучать на понятном для всего населения Арракиса языке - Галакте. Хотя если задуматься, это - не принципиально.

[@user-sy6rj8fq5z]

She is learning English actually and does not speak other languages, except for Russian. She is able to sing in many languages, because of her ear for music and languages. People called her voice "dramatic contralto", but it's lower and more powerful, than any contralto ever (and she is able to sing well in high-pitch, up to sixth octave).

[@jackburgess8579]

Diana range is unusual for a contralto, but not because of her lower register. It isn't true that she is able to sing lower than "any contralto ever." Many - perhaps even most - contraltos can sing as low as she does. Much rarer is her upper register. It is very abnormal for a contralto to be able to sing D6 (as in "The Day You")! In any case, it is not her range but rather the extraordinary tone and resonance of her voice, and the variety of its colours, that makes her unique and out of this world

[@user-sy6rj8fq5z]

@@jackburgess8579 The lowest contralto note normally is D3, Diana took it easily impromptu, she is using C3 and likely able to take down to A2 right now. She is just 20 yo, while contraltos are getting their full power by 30-35. Likely we are witnessing a development of "supercontralto" voice or female bass. Her other abilities are even more outstanding, but may not be calculated.

[@jackburgess8579]

@@user-sy6rj8fq5z You are just speculating about Diana's lower range and its development. D6 is much rarer for a contralto than is C3. Whether Diana can or will sing A2 remains to be seen. Even if she can or will, that still wouldn't be unprecedented. It wouldn't make her "lower than any contralto"), any more than her D6 makes her higher than any soprano (despite the fact that some sopranos can't sing beyond C6).

[@user-sy6rj8fq5z]

@@jackburgess8579 In fact, it's also outstanding, but some singers could take high enough notes with their head voice. There's no use to compare to pop singers, their voices are too weak and small. If you'll watch some performances of better operatic contraltos, you'll see similar, but not the same, abilities. Her voice is not rare, it's absolutely unique, but we can calculate range related stuff at least. Any soprano (operatic class) is able to sing D6 and above, it's required part of range. But Diana sounds different, her sixth octave notes are too 'thick' for sopranos.

[@Craigregister000]

I remember when you watched her performance of I can't help falling in Love I asked you if you were willing to give up your drink to watch it again and you said no but it appears as though you are becoming quite the fan. In this performance you'll notice that she did a little bit of jazz. Skatting in the middle and when I first heard that I thought to myself she would probably do a great blues for jazz number and not long after that she came out with a performance called. In my huge City and it was completely amazing please check it out you will be shocked she has the perfect voice for it it was based on a very very old Russian poem about a woman who suffers from insomnia. As you can tell all of her fans Come running the minute they see a new reaction video of hers and I must say that we envy you because you are just starting out and have a long way to go so many amazing performances left for you to view and many of them are either collaborated or involve Brandon Stone in fact he is the one that helped her do in my huge City he has been very very good for her career and a great friend to her

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

Greetings from Scotland! If you want to go for a real man-crush, watch Brandon perform a vocal duet with Diana singing one of the many songs he has written for Diana over the last 5 years. "The Day You....." which is usually a solo for Diana, but the both voices make it super beautiful. It was for New Year celebrations 2024. *The bonus is, Diana hits a REALLY high note which will surprise you!* kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2rVc6asg7eMaas To answer your question if Diana is bi-lingual, she is fairly good at speaking English now but she has performed in many languages. *8 languages, Russian, English, French, Spanish, German, Ukrainian, Tatar and Arabic!!!*
