Helen Traubel Sings Tchaikowsky's "None But The Lonely Heart."

[@PrevitaliA]

Why aren't there voices like hers today? Magnificent, and what a musician!

She was the first opera singer I shook hands with - I was a teenager and it was backstage after her nightclub act.

[@younglemeshevist]

Excellent! She was equally great in everything Thanks for the video..

[@summerhouseNo2]

THank you Thank you. At alst I have found a female singer singing this beaustiful Tchaikovsky song in English. It is so necessary to hear and understand the words to appreciate it fully. Whenever I listen to it I think of Tchaikovsky and how he - as far as we know - sufferred in his homosexuality. Nelson Eddy sings it beautifully - but as a woman I feel that the voice of a woman brings out the absolute beauty of the words and music. Thank you again.

No problem at all! Dark and rich voices seem to fit this song best.

[@EdmundStAustell]

There aren't many around, that's for sure. Hers was one of the greatest America ever produced.

Diva assoluta!!!!!!

[@BruceJackson-lx2dw]

Yes, sad and brooding. What state of mind and spirit was poor Tchaikovsky in when he composed this music? He must have been a tortured soul at his death: RIP maestro.

Ma vie en rose @}~ Helen Traubel Lovely, delicate, graces the air as scent to Goethe hearts who know. Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt Weiß, was ich leide! Allein und abgetrennt Von aller Freude, Seh ich ans Firmament Nach jener Seite. Ach! der mich liebt und kennt, Ist in der Weite. Es schwindelt mir, es brennt Mein Eingeweide. Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt Weiß, was ich leide! ~ JW vonGoethe

Mei's Russian translation: Net, tol'ko tot, kto znal svidan'ja, zhazhdu, pojmjot, kak ja stradal i kak ja strazhdu. Gljazhu ja vdal'... net sil, tusknejet oko... Akh, kto menja ljubil i znal - daleko! Akh, tol'ko tot, kto znal svidan'ja zhazhdu, pojmjot, kak ja stradal i kak ja strazhdu. Vsja grud' gorit... Kto znal svidan'ja zhazhdu, pojmjot, kak ja stradal i kak ja strazhdu. Goethe's German original: Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt Weiß, was ich leide! Allein und abgetrennt Von aller Freude, Seh ich ans Firmament Nach jener Seite. Ach! der mich liebt und kennt, Ist in der Weite. Es schwindelt mir, es brennt Mein Eingeweide. Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt Weiß, was ich leide! An English translation: None but the lonely heart Can know my sadness Alone and parted Far from joy and gladness Heaven's boundless arch I see Spread out above me O(h) what a distance drear to one Who loves me None but the lonely heart Can know my sadness Alone and parted far From joy and gladness Alone and parted far From joy and gladness My senses fail A burning fire Devours me None but the lonely heart Can know my sadness

She did! Search: Nina Koshetz - Tchaikovsky: None but the lonely heart

[@purisermonisamator]

Прекрасный голос, отличная дикция, музыкальность. Единственное замечание - у этого романса есть внутренняя драматургия с тонкой сменой эмоциональных едва уловимых оттенков, которых певица не передала - весь романс "покрашен" одной краской.

[@vitabella6481]

Vocally great, musically dull.

Abuses portamento. Too slow...
