Hei-Kyung Hong - Standchen(Serenade)

1995 Hei-Kyung Hong Recital
F.Schubert Schwanengesang, D.957
No.4 Standchen(Serenade)

[@wgtetz]

To finish - at the end of the aria, the crowd went wild with a standing ovation. As my voice teacher said, the key isn't volume, but tone - one that through correct technique vibrates sympathetically within the listener and the hall, that doesn't need to be forced by being loud. Hong taught me something that night that I'll never forget. When it's done right, no one has to tell you. You just know. I'm pretty sure we all learned that lesson that night.

[@anonymusum]

This is not an aria, this is an (art) song.

[@jasmineblossom84]

Hei-Kyung Hong is one of the most under-appreciated treasures in the opera world. Man. She is such a great actress, too!

[@paulkim6692]

jasmineblossom84 I think she wanted it that way for her family. But she still performs at MET which matters.

[@dirkadriaan6019]

I love every moment of it.....she put her heart in it!

[@mariaarenas6005]

best performance of this song so far

[@jeong-woolee921]

Absolutely!!!

너무잘하셔서 눈물나요ㅠㅠㅠㅠ 진짜 저거의 반의반의반만해도 소원이 없겠어요ㅠㅠ 넘 멋지고 심장으로 바로 들어오는 목소리...... 최고다진짜

[@dirkadriaan6019]

She sings it with beautiful control emotion.

[@ian.marais1202]

Hei-Kyung Hong is to my opinion one of the best sopranos of the last few decades and this is a fantastic rendition of one Schubert's most beautiful songs. Oh she does it so tear jerking beautiful. Just love this beautiful soprano.

[@MarioRAcosta]

Wow! I’m blown away. It’s so beautiful. Awesome breathe technique, strong consonants, Legato , Good pitch Awesome!!!

[@ArthurRaymundo]

Amazing! I've always been a huge fan of her rendition of this piece.

[@eckardkruger6650]

Hong Hei-Kyung not only sings with her voice, she sings with her soul. To hear and see them is just incredibly beautiful. Thank you, Hei-Kyung.

[@wgtetz]

Back in the nineties I saw Hong in Turandot at the Met, with Pavarotti. Pavarotti's Nessun Dorma received a somewhat obligatory cheer, seeing as it was started by a claque just in time to keep him from having to sing the high note (which never came), but Hong brought the house down with Ascolte. There were literally gasps throughout the house as the audience strained to hold back applause until the last note. Though not loud, every crevice and surface reverberated with her beautiful voice.

[@jjlungdoc7472]

I think you must be confused with another performance or different opera house. If my memory serves me right, Pavarotti never sang Turandot at the Met. He was supposed to do it with Caballè in the title role but there was a strike and that was that.

[@wgtetz]

@@jjlungdoc7472 Nope. 1997 at the Met. Memory serves you wrong. If you don't believe me, believe the New York Times: "OPERA REVIEW; A Turandot Who Grasps The Heart Of Sound". Pavarotti's claque saved him from the high note in Nessun Dorma - it had to be a claque, because it arrived right before the high note and his performance up to then, while good, did not merit that kind of wild enthusiasm. Luciano just stood there quietly accepting the rescue and the orchestra played through and then resumed the aria minus the high note.

[@rarindraprakarsa4376]

deep... romantic.. impressive

[@lawrenceallen6508]

This performance has to be one of the finest renditions of Schubert's Serenade ever - SUPERB

[@J-WLee]

명랑한 저 달빛아래 들리는 소리 무슨 비밀 여기있어 소근거리나 만날 언약 맺은우리 달밝은 오늘 달밝은오늘 우리서로 잠시라도 잊지못하여 잊지못하여 수풀사이 덮인곳에 따뜻한사랑 적막한밤 달빛아래 꿈을꾸었네 밤은깊고 고요한데 들리는소리 들리는소리 들려오는 그의소리 들려오지만 분명치않구나 오라는가 나의사랑 들리는곳에 타는듯한 나의생각 기다리는너 잊을수없구나 나의사랑 거의 50 년전 고등학교 다닐때 슈베르트를 좋아하던 음악 선생님 으로부터 배운노래 …… 무척 열심히 불렀죠 그당시에…… 우연히 오늘 이노래를 듣게되어 감개무량합니다 . 홍혜경님 너무 아름답게 불러주셔서 감사합니다.

[@chongshinkim2535]

너무아름다워요. 이영상14년만에 처음 보네요. 댓글을 안쓰는 사람인데. 이렇게 정열적으로, 몸으로 아름다움을 잘 표현하니 어느새 감동되어 눈물이고였네요.감사합니다. 삶의 용기도 납니다.

[@jakobvonmuhlebach]

People who criticize this, that and the other as if they were such great experts, tire me. The only criticism one can really make here is that the video starts after the first note has been played and cuts off before the final note has died away, which is a shame. Not only is Hong's voice beautiful but it is so clear she loves and means what she is singing.

[@user-wd1hy6yv9o]

James EVERSHED !

[@fellow111411]

Have you listened to Marta Eggerth' singing of this song?

[@leopold4034]

No she is not clear

[@waitwhatholdup]

@@leopold4034 it’s clear bro, it probably the camera audio making it *NOT* sound clear

[@Homoclassicus]

Wonderful rendition of this classic lied. She has the proper "insight" while singing, but still managing to make it sound as beautiful and evocative as possible. Beautiful shaping of the words, as well. Her timbre, of the most velvety lyric quality, also helps a lot. She looks very pretty, what's not a requirement but is certainly a good advantage. :-)

[@gabyg6308]

Excelente voz y timbre, siempre enfrente, 😍🤩

[@df06959123]

[@Rosangela161]

Lovely, romantic, dramatic, beautiful performance

[@dilbert263]

again, so beautiful song, she is superb

[@GerardBeaubrun]

Great music can have many traits and one of them presents itself as a chameleon in the emotions of its listener. Standchen can be symbolize a lovely moment of passion between two lovers, a bittersweet goodbye, an expression of desperation in which hope and strengths momentarily surface only to vanish cruelly. Doleful whispers of lamentation carried by the vocal strings while the piano as an avuncular fashion accompanies and reiterates the last words given life through the melody. Calming without loosing its dramatic nature, sentimental without relying on unfitting shifts of dynamics, its beginning with the bass ominously advancing while the ostinato figure of the right hand of the piano switches back and forth from 2 positions effortlessly. The notion that the execution of this piece lauds symbolizes is the idea of selfless partnership. The idea of the piano serving the goals set by the melody, eager to give voice to repressed thoughts or gifting its swan song to the world. Much have been said of the beautiful melody carried by the voice but selfless, regal and steady the piano shifts from the background to continue ringing in our mind even after the song has ended. Gentle, attentive it glides as the voice moves, its stomps as the voice rages , it carries as the melody's strength seemingly evaporates... yes it also continues, marches and picks its partner as the melody rests

[@bantriky]

Bravo! very nice, beautiful voice. I love it.

[@elisenielsson416]
