Król Roger - Roxana's Song (The Royal Opera)

[@hannastaszak1684]

W 140 rocznice urodzin Karola Szymanowskiego, cudownie jest patrzeć jak dzieła wielkiego polskiego kompozytora są podziwiane i chętnie wykonywane na całym świecie przez wszystkie pokolenia muzyków ❤

[@Aurelia2147]

I really love her voice and how she does the phrasing. Need to watch the whole opera!

Great Karol Szymanowski

Beautiful Roksana!!! Bravo für polish language!!!

[@jostreed]

Georgia sounds amazing!

[@Mousy677]

A frankly unmatched example of heavy-handed symbolism with the set design including Roger literally living in a giant model of his own head.

Król Roger Roksana! Jej śpiew! Edrisi Słuchajmy, Królu! Roksana A…! Uśnijcie krwawe sny Króla Rogera, Niech balsam nocy spłynie na jego wolę, Niech żądne, mściwe serce łaską się napełni. A…! Chór A…! Król Roger Czy słyszysz jej śpiew? Edrisi Jak cudna pieśń! Roksana A…! Bądź łaskaw Królu, na Pasterza, Niech jak zmęczona, syta krwi pantera Gniew twój minie. Bądź łaskaw Królu, na Pasterza. A…! Król Roger Błaga o łaskę dla Pasterza! Słyszysz? Edrisi Jej serce rozkwita jak lotos nocą! Roksana A…! Nocy dzisiejszej jastrząb nie goni ptaszyny, Węże usnęły na łodygach lilii, Łaskawość zsyła biały płomień planet. A…! Chór A…!

Oh well... apparently if you're not Polish, you just can't sing in this language and be understood by another Polish :/ anyway, she's great. He is awesome too ;)

Krowa Paulinka Aż tak źle nie jest - parę słów zrozumiałam :)

[@proberts2010]

Perhaps you should read the libretto first!

[@krowapaulinka4351]

Peter Roberts Who, me? I am Polish and this lady should sing the libretto to me. She is the one who should take care of making this opera (her role at least) understandable to me. I mean of course, I understand it, Polish is a very difficult language so I don't really expect her to have a perfect diction but she isn't even trying lol she sings it beautifully and that will do here though because this opera is so messed up that I don't think even the guy who wrote it knew what he was writing about.

[@PaulSmith-qs1es]

To be fair, I can't understand English when it's sung either.

[@durcheinander5554]

Same, even with the English subs I can't make out more than a few words :D Mariusz Kwiecień is perfectly understandable though. But I don't blame her, our language is a b*tch.

[@zuzannaprzystas857]

I've seen this alive in Royal

[@bp-xe6zo]

Przepięknie, ale jeszcze piękniej brzmi po polsku.

[@betina3350]

b p To jest po polsku :P

[@krowapaulinka4351]

Nie słychać :p

[@atramlbb2993]

She's spelling Polish so bad...

[@bozenabujnicka]

Have you ever tried to sing it? I did. And I am a polish soprano. It is very difficult even for polish to sing it so high and pronunce these really hard words well. Well done for pronunciation! Good work. Just few very little things to improve, really little. I am just not convinced about the sound. The beggining and the ending is not in tune!! She definitely should check scores more carefully...

[@beatapogorzelska1241]

@@bozenabujnicka I recommend Ewa Tracz's interpretation. This singer is OK for a foreigner, though.

[@gabrielaolimpiabylica5621]

Love her voice but her polsh... Nah
