Gihoon Kim-Mein Sehnen, mein wahnen Die tote stadt Korngold

[@tomblower2317]

I shall come back to this performance again and again.

[@clewis2666]

I have loved opera for some 55 years. I can honestly say I have not heard anything more beautifully sung than this in that time.

[@showmoke]

I think this aria won Gihoon the competition - it was absolutely outstanding. He's going to be a big attraction for opera lovers in the future.

[@johnonahotroyin7394]

He will surely do well for himself in the opera world.

[@mograves8526]

Beautiful and very moving performance from a very talented young man blessed with a gift. Wonderful voice.

[@dianahartley1265]

Just blew me away, after four bars it touched me so much. A most blessed gift of a voice, wonderful performance.

[@peterharrington6588]

A beautiful rendition of this glorious music.

[@colinhills5249]

A wonderful interpretation that moved us, so beautifully sung with a beautiful voice and a deserved winner.

[@carolinesmithsmith4642]

Absolutely love this performance. What a voice. Korngold rocks.

[@TenoreMr]

아~, 정말 몇십번을 보고듣고 아직도 끝이 없이 듣게 돼네요.

[@bobzthecat82]

Amazing. A well deserved win

[@jiwonnia]

Wow! So beautiful…💕

[@Taehan_Kim_1]

Bravissimo

[@johnonahotroyin7394]

I love! Well done.

[@susandrakenviller3683]

Great voice, near perfect technique. I think in the theatre his singing is even more exciting. His top notes sound fabulous here, clear and smooth. His acting could be a bit more involved, it’s very controlled now and for my taste could be a bit bigger and seems he needs to own that he is a star more. But really what a beautiful ending!

[@heinzmaraun4711]

Vor 2 Jahren in Hannover hörten wir diesen Sänger in kleinen Rollen. Und wussten: eine Weltstimme .Er wird eine grosse Karriere machen.

[@lesleywilbourne7823]

I am sure that with this well-deserved win, opera houses will be queuing to sign him up for bigger and better roles although I expect he will now be travelling all over the world. He has a beautiful voice - a world class voice xx

Two judges were crying during this. Shame that bit was omitted from the video.

[@showmoke]

The clip were the judges were in tears at the end was on the BBC IPlayer website for a while, but sadly it's now been removed and it doesn't appear to be anywhere on KZbin.

[@Amanda-sf3fx]

I was looking for a version of this aria for my playlist and there are so very few - how can that be?! - and finally I had to concede that this was the best. Fine voice though I wasn’t as wowed by this rendition as the judges were. He will go far, though!

[@moishemillerr]

Did you have a listen to Herman Prey‘s rendition?

[@Amanda-sf3fx]

@@moishemillerr Yes, of course I did. But I was never a great fan of Herman Prey. As I said there are very few renditions available on yt. I would have liked to hear Thomas Allen do this in German, but his version is in English, not what I was looking for.

[@nevillemignot1681]

Thank you you for showing this piece, as it one of my late wife's favourite aria's, and just breaks my heart hearing it. But is it the most underratd pieces of music in all of opera?

[@publicclammer]

Splendidly done!

[@gavrinmahaffey3656]

Excellent!!

[@margaretromanes6435]

Simply exquisite.

[@PcCAvioN]

I have a feeling that you will soon be outshining heldens on a regular basis

[@FairyForest87]

I like it. Thomas Hampson just has a softer timbre and it think it suits this aria much better.
