Most people focus on the voice, but hardly anyone comments on his excellent musicianship and the incredibly accomplished musicality worthy of a much more experienced artist. Fantastic

[@derekthompson2954]

Its always a joy to listen to such a beautiful and melodious voice and I note at 3:03 your kind gesture to include your accompanists in your appreciation shown to you by the audience - the mark of a generous performer.

[@AkselRykkvin]

Glad you noticed, I always do this, and they deserve the credit!

[@adelefarough5123]

Derek Thompson: Yes; excellent department! So many singers think it's all about them! As someone who started singing many years ago, it was made very clear to me that the ego was to be used as a force for good.

[@gerencsermarton1]

Only a month after this clip was uploaded, Ombra mai fu was sang on my church wedding by one of my oldest friends, accompanied by organ. Words cannot express the emotion and what those moments have meant to me. This is a spectacular countertenor performance - keep up the great work, Aksel!

[@AkselRykkvin]

Thank you, yes, it is a very emotional song, and maybe more in the music than in the words :)

[@warrenhampton9837]

Just perfect. I hope he excels at his ability.

Absolutely stunning! The trills perfectly done the opening crescendo, vibrato just amazing. You give Jaroussky competition! Whether your voice stays countertenor or deepens, you will have a legion of admirers. Bravissimo!

[@AkselRykkvin]

Thank you, very happy to hear this! I will sing it again with a baroque ensemble soon, in Amsterdam, looking forward to that.

[@markpkessinger]

Aksel, apart from the beauty of your voice, there is a subtlety and sophistication of phrasing that goes well beyond your years. Truly extraordinary!

Dear Aksel, you are so kind to answer to all our comments....... Other artists, much less talented than you, think they are too famous to see or answer to any comments. May God bless you and keep you always gentle and kind. I am from lRio de Janeiro and I do hope you come to visit us and sing someday. I will be very glad to go wherever you come.

[@cristinafreideschulz3442]

Wer diesen herrlichen Gesang mit dem Daumen nach unten beurteilt, hat von schöner Musik keine Ahnung!!

[@thegabywe]

Das ist ja das Dilemma auf diesen Plattformen, dass jeder seinen Senf dazu geben kann, ob er/sie Ahnung hat oder nicht. Leider ist der heutige Geschmack der Menschen sehr vom amerikanischen und russischen Geschmack bestimmt und da scheint man Interpretationen lieber zu hören, die von Stimmen gesungen werden, die stark an Opernsänger/-innen erinnern.

[@Frederik020]

Sie haben absolut recht. Ich habe selten so eine wunderschöne Stimme gehört. Der junge Mann ist ein absolutes Ausnahmetalent und selbst jetzt, etwas später, hat sich daran nichts geändert. Mir stehen die Tränen in den Augen wenn ich daran denke, daß unserer wundervolle europäische Kultur durch vom Selbsthaß zerfressene "europäische" Politiker zum Sterben verurteilt wurde, denn nichts anderes bedeutet die Islamsierung unserer europäischen Heimatländer durch die EU, auch wenn viele es hier noch nicht begriffen haben... Gott schütze Sie!

[@desiderioelielton2051]

I did sing it yesterday. Aksel Rykkvin, you are an inspiration for me. Please never stop singing!

By the way, at 166 cm you are now as tall as me. I'm sure that you have more growing to do. You have such a bright future. God has blessed you so much already! 👍

[@awakeamericanow]

Totally enchanting. Brings back wonderful memories of when many years ago as a treble my voice could rise and soar and bring people to tears. As I remember the voice develops a resonance and fullness, just before puberty brings an end to singing in the treble register. This young man's dedication to his art will live with him and all who treasure music as a lasting tribute to his musicianship.

[@AkselRykkvin]

[@WhiteTiger333]

Is that what I hear? I do hear that somehow whenever you sing, Aksel, your voice blends with the instruments in a way I don't normally hear. I don't know enough about music to discern how it is, but it's so very pleasing and wonderful. I was putting it down to a lot of rehearsal, which I'm sure is also true, but now I see it's also how you listen and respond. I can see you listening in your performances. :)

[@geoffkincade5049]

Your voice is maturing well. The superior acoustics enhances the faithfulness of the recording with excellent results. May you have as much joy as you are providing others.
