This is one of those moments when beauty of voice, technique, and inspiration come together, along with conductorial understanding and purpose. Surpassingly beautiful!

I personally have vivid memories of this wonderful performer, so talented and so humble at the same time, in various sacred works of Vivaldi, under the baton of the great Angelo Ephrikian. I'll never forget her...

Musique sublime. Quelle noblesse dans le chant d'Aafje Heynis. Cette femme s'adresse aux Dieux.

Wat kon die Aafje toch prachtig zingen. In 2021 nog een lust voor het oor.

One of the greatest contraltos of her time, one of the greatest orchestras ever and the greatest Mahler-conductor of the second part of this century. What a beautiful combination ! Hans NL

I just love this symphony from Gustav Mahler. Aafje's pronunciation is very clear compared to some other contraltos' and it makes it easier for non-German speakers to learn the parts. Thanks for this video!

Ben echt overwelmed door deze absolute schoonheid en inzicht in waar het om gaat. Een talent die, vrees ik, nooit meer terugkeert. Zoals Callas en Ferrier!!! Adembenemend! Frans Giebels.

I think Aafje Heynis has sung in the church music festival in Kristiansand, Norway sometime during the seventies. She had a Norwegian parallel in the wonderful Astrid Hellesnes Hukvari (1937-1989), whose career was interrupted by illness and an early death. Both these singers seemed to have a direct contact with the divine spheres.

La chanteuse s'adresse à une rose, mais n'est-ce pas un appel au ciel ? Ô Petite rose rouge, L'humanité gît dans une très grande misère, L'humanité gît dans une très grande souffrance. Toujours j'aimerais mieux être au ciel. Une fois je venais sur un large chemin, Un ange était là qui voulait me repousser. Mais non, je ne me laissais pas repousser ! Je viens de Dieu et je retournerai à Dieu, Le cher Dieu qui me donnera une petite lumière Pour éclairer mon chemin vers la vie éternelle et bénie !

Aafje Heyni's voice has great character and individuality, and she sings with discipline. I wonder if she has had many opportunities to visit the United States and become better known and work with American musicians.

Her timbre also reminds me sometimes of Ferrier! Maybe less "silvery" but with better diction.

There are many better performances than this. Too many times she fails to hit the note and it comes out flat. Not a great quality recording, either.
@crocothemis8 жыл бұрын
+Dave Cochrane Would you please be so kind and point out the times she fails to hit the note as I (in my ignorance) can't find any... As for the recording quality: for a recording from the fifties it is excellent.
@YouTubeIsAssHo8 жыл бұрын
crocothemis Sure! The first couple of flat notes that stick out are at 1:45. Then again at 2:12, 2:16, 3:46 ('ach'), 4:20, 4:22, 4:38 (really bad one), 4:51 (out by a country mile). These are the worst examples. You're right, the sound quality isn't bad for the 50's, although there are better. Have you heard any RCA Living Stereo recordings from the 50's? They're exceptional for the period! I would also recommend to check out the 'RCO Live!' issue of this song (Concerthall Orchestra, Netherlands); the "Ach, nein!" line might send shivers down your spine, such is the passion in the performance.
