Elly Ameling on Frank Martin in conversation with Rien de Reede

[@josephcollins6033]

Mme Ameling is the very finest of singers-ever- and the finest of teachers. I learned much from her in Baden, having treasured her singing for years. Thank you for coming into my life. You changed my singing.

You’re a beautiful person Elly. Thanks so much.

Listening to your voice in this oratorio brings me to tears - tears of joy! I have great memories of your recitals in Toronto 👋👋👋

We so enjoyed watching this entertaining look back at your experiences with Mr. Martin as composer and pianist. My wife, Linda Skroski, still delights in talking about working with you in your home during her Fulbright studies in the early '80s. A wonderful time in her life! God bless you!

Frank Martin was one of the greatest twentieth composers, alongside Stravinsky and Messiaen. He composed works of timeless beauty. Very very few composers have held back compositions from publication and performance - which then, after publication, attained the status of masterpiece. Such is the case for Martin’s Mass for double choir a capella (1922/1926).

She gives technique, beauty, diction, everything. Elly all the way. Every classical singer has listened to her when wanting diction and purity. She's the reference recording for every lied ever.

So wonderful she is offering her craft, learning and wisdom with all of us . I wasn't aware Ameling had recorded any 20th century music . So wonderful to hear her in Frank Martin whose piano pieces and chamber music I've loved for years ! Wonderful to be introduced to this music !

Your voice is just gorgeous and I always look for you when I’m learning new songs. Such a wonderful instrument you have. ❤

What a great, insightful artist with the most preciously lyrical instrument. God bless her. It is written: Psalm 92: 1 "It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: 2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, 3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound."

I love her sooooo much!!!!!!! 💜

Meine absolute Lieblings-CD „Mozart-Lieder und Notturni“. Für mich steht fest: Mozart-Lieder NUR mit Elly Ameling! 👍🏻 Einfach himmlisch! 😇🎼 Ich höre die Musik unter anderem im Auto hoch und runter. Damals nahm ich Unterricht im klassischen Gesang und habe von Ihnen erfahren.

What a treat! God bless you!

Wow Ms Ameling was only 26 when that was recorded!
