Nadine Sierra: Cäcilie by Richard Strauss

For almost 40 years, the Richard Tucker Award has been granted to an American singer poised on the edge of a major national and international career, with a list of winners that reads like a who's who of American opera stars, including Renée Fleming, Stephanie Blythe, Lawrence Brownlee, Matthew Polenzani and Christine Goerke.

Praised for her vocal beauty, seamless technique, and abundant musicality, Nadine Sierra is being hailed as one of the most promising, young talents in opera today. She was named the Richard Tucker Award Winner in 2017 and was awarded the 2018 Beverly Sills Artist Award by the Metropolitan Opera. Having made a string of successful debuts at the Met, Teatro alla Scala, Opéra national de Paris, and Staatsoper Berlin, she has become a fixture at many of the top houses around the world. On August 24th, 2018, her debut album, There’s a Place for Us, was released under the Deutsche Grammophon/Universal Music labels.

Absolutely STUNNING, Nadine!

absolutely fantastic

[@bethparker3146]

Praise to Brian Zeger! One of the most difficult songs in the rep. Nadine deserves a great partner, and he deserves credit! WQXR, stop posting videos without naming the performers.

Wenn Du es wüßtest, Was träumen heißt Von brennenden Küssen, Vom Wandern und Ruhen Mit der Geliebten, Aug’ in Auge, Und kosend und plaudernd Wenn Du es wüßtest, Du neigtest Dein Herz! Wenn Du es wüßtest, Was bangen heißt In einsamen Nächten, Umschauert vom Sturm, Da Niemand tröstet Milden Mundes Die kampfmüde Seele Wenn Du es wüßtest, Du kämest zu mir. Wenn Du es wüßtest, Was leben heißt, Umhaucht von der Gottheit Weltschaffendem Atem, Zu schweben empor, Lichtgetragen, Zu seligen Höh’en, |: Wenn Du es wüßtest, :| Du lebtest mit mir.

Und who was at the piano? Art song is not only singer star and a nameless unimportant poor pianist….

[@rebeccafarley7060]

100% agree that his name should be included (honestly is shameful that they didn’t). The pianist is Brian Zeger, head of the vocal department at Juilliard. Not exactly nameless or unimportant, but should definitely be acknowledged for this duet between pianist and singer.

[@Marcel_Audubon]

get real - the singer is the name on the marquee - any pianist who hasn't figured that out is going to have a very frustrating life!

[@klausbaden]

@@Marcel_Audubon get real: that’s bullshit. In professional circles a singer and a pianist are equally handled. She cannot sing this song without a very good pianist. And song accompanying is a own master degree. Your answer is therefore without substance.

[@Marcel_Audubon]

@@klausbaden ahaha! denial is one of the stages of grief, little lady! This can be easily settled by looking at the paychecks of both performers ... are they equal? oopsie! they are not! not even close! the market says you are wrong and I am right

[@klausbaden]

@@Marcel_Audubon You are a little too childish for me. Goodbye

[@theogoldberg8919]

Imponierend

[@Marcel_Audubon]

mein Gott!

[@richardvergara]

Not bad...just not as exciting.
