Hahn - Si mes vers avaient des ailes & À Chloris (Gauvin, Hamelin)

[@corinnewalker1275]

Stunning! I just listened to 12 recordings and this is the best; the best French, tone, expression, intonation and quite a shimmering performance! I read her bio and her parents were both opera singers. She inherited double singing genes. Plus, she has had the best teachers along the way. I think she must have listened to Beverly Sills, because I hear a little of Beverly Sills in her voice. Lovely and thank you for the beautiful singing (I am a voice teacher)

[@petelovesbevsills]

I have lost count of the number of recordings there are here on KZbin including my all-time favourite Beverly Sills. Karina's version is in my humble opinion just stunningly gorgeous. Could she have grown up listening to Beverly's recordings? You've got my vote on that one because there is a lovely hint of similarity. (I'm nuts about Beverly) 😊

This woman deserves a Nobel for her singing

[@4444marla]

She is fabulous. So musical, so sensitive , what a technique. Love her!

[@zenkuriyama8516]

This. is. stunning. I can't stop listening; I keep playing it over again and again. I agree with all the other comments...so sensitive, so expressive, so finessed. Bravi both to Gauvin and Hamelin!

Magnifiques interprétations de ces deux plus belles mélodies de Hahn par K. Gauvin servies par un pianiste merveilleusement à l'écoute. Merci à madlovba3 pour ce cadeau !

[@bontempo01]

Hands down the best version of A Chloris. Marc Andre Hamelin contributes a lot to this by creating just the right atmosphere with the piano introduction (I could listen to this on repeat all day long). Gauvin is the icing on top of this (superb) performance.

[@hansdekorver7365]

A Chloris also performed by Pumeza Matshikiza ( + orchestra )

[@aquilonnord1700]

Can't express just how do I agree with you!

[@riohenry6382]

Her voice never fails to astound ! Such beauty ❤️🎼

[@josemartin9974]

C est d une beauté ,quelle voix pure puissante, magnifique , j adore Renaldo Hahn merci

[@4444marla]

Gauvin’s singing is just devine!

[@MichelineWalkerSherbrooke]

Exquisite music, beautifully interpreted and reminiscent of a Golden Age.

[@suzannalegat-rosander9261]

Je trouve ceci vraiment magnifique. Il y a cette dimension incomparable, indéfinissable...

[@TheDali2574]

une très belle découverte .... une très belle voix... merci pour nous faire partager cette beauté ....

[@Rozie7748]

Absolutelly brilliant - both piano and song - lovingly rendered!

[@brahms44ify]

Love her! So musical, what a voice!

[@marcocito]

Sublime! Le Québec regorge de grands artistes!

[@callastoujours]

When I heard the Susan Graham's version I thought it was the best, but now,,, I realize that there is nothing comparable to a big dramatic voice singing. Impressive!!!

[@4444marla]

She is the best, but has a very light lyric voice, not dramatic.

[@4444marla]

Also, hear Theodor Uppman sing this!

[@CaterinaDiMedici]

La migliore versione nel mondo...

[@mrclassic_81]

Victor Hugo Mes vers fuiraient, doux et frêles, Vers votre jardin si beau, Si mes vers avaient des ailes, Comme l’oiseau. Ils voleraient, étincelles, Vers votre foyer qui rit, Si mes vers avaient des ailes, Comme l’esprit. Près de vous, purs et fidèles, Ils accourraient nuit et jour, |: Si mes vers avaient des ailes, :| Comme l’amour. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Théophile de Viau S'il est vrai, Chloris, que tu m'aimes, Mais j'entends, que tu m'aimes bien, Je ne crois pas que les rois mêmes Aient un bonheur pareil au mien. Que la mort serait importune A venir changer ma fortune Pour la félicité des cieux! |: Tout ce qu'on dit de l'ambroisie Ne touche point ma fantaisie Au prix des grâces de tes yeux. :|

[@louriou1]

Bravo Com!me c'est beau, une voix magnifique et un accompagnement merveilleux .

[@StephaneMartineau]

Sublimes interprètes !

[@fourstrings48]

Ah! Si seulement ma voix avait des ailes, pareilles à celles de la voix de cette chanteuse... Mais hélas... Il faut que je me contente de mon violoncelle. Chapeau aux interprètes! J'adore!

[@claudeproulx]

Mais quelle voix magnifique ! Ravissante ! Brillante !

[@myZisfantastic]

Sublissime!!! Un cd s'impose...

[@Rhopoe]

I'm pretty new to Reynaldo Hahn's music (only knew of him through reading of his association with Proust), but this is simply gorgeous! And as for Madame Gauvin, such a clear, big, and inexhaustible voice as hers, it's a shame that only a select few culturati know of her here in America. She certainly has the chops to take Netrebko down a notch or two... Say, where was this taken out of? Anyone?

[@kevinfstrasbourg]

C'est la plus belle interprétation de ces mélodies de Hahn. J'en ai le souffle coupé !

[@yuehchopin]

perfekt

[@tovemumin4261]

Tengo el Cd de Susam Graham, y es muy bueno, pero opino lo mismo que Callastoujours; la voz de Karina es perfecta para las canciones de Hahn.

[@sugarcoconutfresh]

What key is Si mes vers avaient des ailes?

[@callastoujours]

E major.

[@fourstrings48]

Et alors...?

[@tovemumin4261]

Esta versión es más lenta, más morosa que la de Susan Graham, y en mi opinión es mejor.

[@feelmorefillmore355]

[@IvanGreindl]

Une belle interprétation sans doute, ... mais un peu maniérée à mon goût. Susan Graham ou Marie-Nicole Lemieux me touchent bien davantage : leur technique me semble plus sobre, sans préciosité superflue. (Impression très subjective, of course!) ;-)

[@dfgdfg2046]

She does not get the character of these pieces at all, and Hamelin doesn't either.

[@maps9957]

And you do? Let's hear it
