Opera Singer Reacts to Patricia Janečková Laudate Dominum | Mozart | MASTERCLASS |

[@jessicasopranonotes]

I have only realized after editing/posting that I referenced this performance of Laudate Dominum from Mozart's Requiem (K.626) which this is not from. It is from Mozart's Vesperae Solennes de Confessore K.339. RIP to the beautiful Patricia Janečková (1998-2023) and prayers continue to her friends and family 💛

[@normankennith7919]

i assume you will be commenting on more of patricia's songs in future!!!

[@michaelkearney3646]

I am shocked. I just saw her Doll Aria. She was really talented in that performance for her age. Now, she's gone. I definitely will say a prayer for her. Thank you, Jessica, for putting up this video.

[@robbiwouters]

Dear Jessica, Thank you for your reaction, i admired yours on the doll song of Patricia, watched it several times and was hoping you would give us more of her. Would you be so kind to give us as well a reaction to one of the latest pieces Patricia sang, where her voice was more adult? In remembering Patricia, it's sad the accent is put on her younger years, as she became even more sublime growing up. I hope you will do, many whom love Patricia will be grateful.

[@normankennith7919]

i recommend you listen to 'quel guardo il cavaliere', 'think of me' & 'the evenstar', both sung in perfect english, 'rusalka', & ticha noc', acapella style!!!'@@robbiwouters

[@robbiwouters]

@@normankennith7919 Probably Jessica, if she is so kind to honour us with another review on Patricia, will pick a piece what's the most interesting for her to talk about. Thank you for your suggestions, i think i have seen everything Patricia gave to us in her too short life.

[@pa1189j]

I was fortunate enough to be at this performance in Postorna. And was privileged to have a brief meeting with Patricia. It was a concert I’ll never forget and so thankful I decided to make the journey to Czechia. Her untimely passing has left a deep impression on everyone who knew her. RIP

[@jessicasopranonotes]

Wow, what a lovely experience! I would have to see her life. RIP 💛

[@dgibelli]

Greetings, we had dinner together in Břeclav.

[@pa1189j]

@@dgibelli I remember it well. At the Park restaurant. I still can’t fully take in that she’s gone. Two incredible concerts.

[@dgibelli]

@@pa1189j The last time I saw Patrícia was on Sat 3rd Oct 2020 for the premier of "Flowers for Mrs Harris" in Ostrava, her home town. Sad isn't it.

[@MarcVanLaere-zr5im]

I wish i've could have seen that.❤👍🙏

[@amather1000]

...it's hard to watch when I'm in tears from the first note, just like you. Such a good and kind girl. Such a fantastic voice. How much more love could she give...😢 Thank you for the choice and the beautiful video. Peace to your soul.🕊️

[@georgesthibaudeau1533]

Very interesting review, thanks; this was instructive. I must have listened to this performance by our beloved Patricia over a hundred times. Most remarkable. It led many to refer to her fondly as the Queen of Amen. What a great artist we lost. She is sorely missed.

[@asw19B100]

I too cannot get enough of this “amen” but the Les Talens Lyriques performance of the Pergolesi Stabat Mater with Sabina Puértolas and Vivica Genaux also has a wonderful amen complete with a priceless radiant but only MOMENTARY grin upon its conclusion by the otherwise totally serious Ms. Puértolas that expresses her joy in singing this sublime composition, and the extraordinary quality of this performance.

[@robbiwouters]

Hello Georges, poor Patricia created a place in our hearts, even our souls where she'll be forever. For me it's still complicated to listen to her; the loss blocks a full apriciation of what she sings. Mourning takes time.

[@warpmine1761]

@@robbiwouters It was her gift from her to us and she would have wanted it that way so enjoy it.

[@robbiwouters]

@@warpmine1761 You are right. It takes some time however. Having followed her many years, Patricia became a part of my life and the mourning was deeper than i expected. 🧚 Fly my Faery, fly 🧚🏼‍♀️

[@lifelover515]

Thank you Jessica for sharing the work of this exceptionally talented and ultimately tragically-fated young coloratura. There are many uf us who are still reeling from the loss. I believe she started training at the age of four, and her father was a professional cellist, so you could say she was born to it. Her passing was not widely reported in the western media. Thank you also for your expert technical analysis of the music itself and its latin meaning. RIP, our angel on Earth- and our beloved Mozart.

[@normankennith7919]

there should be a concerted effort to promote patricia's name in the west! a biography, documentary, stage musical, fil, in english & the release of her work on cd & dvd would elevate her to star status, posthumously, like eva cassidy!!!!

[@ursulabean3179]

Yes Jessica. Read up about her life… she sang at age four. Her father is a cellist. so, yes, yes…. Lots of talent ,lots of musicality in the family….it is a terrible loss to all the world. Thank goodness we can hear her beautiful voice forever…

[@normankennith7919]

hopefully, jessica will spread the word to the western world, about patricia's prodigious talent!!@@ursulabean3179

[@normankennith7919]

there needs to be a book, documentary, stage musical &/or a film written/made about patricia & her work should be available on cd & dvd! certainly a 'greatest hits' type compilation album should be released with her fans voting for say between 20 & thirty songs! also, 'AI' might possibly be used like it was with ABBA & THE BEATLES!!!

[@MarcVanLaere-zr5im]

I have been a metalhead for over 45 years but Patricia is my hero.❤👍🤘

[@jessicasopranonotes]

She’s amazing 🥹

[@franciscojavierp.7162]

Jessica, you have give to us a big present with all your videos, thank you a lot❤

[@bsirta5824]

Hello Jessica ! Thank you for paying such a beautiful tribute to this young soprano. You give a very clever and accurate analysis, and after all with a very pedagogic and clear approach, which is definitely necessary for a beginner in music theory like me... Her performance, as you said, was very impressive and well controlled. If you can sing Mozart well, you can sing everything, and clearly Patricia Janeckova could... It was a tragedy she left us so soon. Just a few words about the text in latin. I think "manet" means "remains", as you said, but this word is in the second phrase. "Quoniam confirmata est super nos misericordia ejus, et veritas Domini manet in aeternum". You can translate it as :"For the mercy of the Lord on us is strengthened and His truth remains forever".

[@AllenJones-w3p]

Thanks for your tribute to Maestra Janeckova.

[@jessicasopranonotes]

Thanks for listening 💛

[@djacymendonca5702]

Obrigado por disponibilizar este vídeo. Sempre que ouço a querida Patricia, fico muito emocionado. Obrigado, mais uma vez.

[@cloudattack3279]

I have only come across Patricia today by chance. Love my classical orchestral music but yet to be taken by the opera. I was immediately moved by her. Absolutely beautiful to listen to. I am sorry to all those still mourning her loss. I look forward to listening to her more.

[@revelgirl1742]

Love hearing your technical description, so fascinating!❤❤❤

[@jessicasopranonotes]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@asw19B100]

Your reaction is so beautiful as it is apparent how physically and emotionally the music moves you. It’s impossible to listen to, especially knowing Ms Janećková’s fate, without shedding tears for the terrible tragedy of her death, far too young.

[@shooster5884]

So hard to watch Patricia.. such a beautiful young person with such a beautiful voice and instinct for performance... Just at the start of her great adult mature career.. I always hoped that I would get to hear her sing live one day... To say I was hit with a grief for her when I learned that she had died ...for her husband, her family , her friends, all of those who worked with her... And all of us fans worldwide for the joy and beauty she brought to our lives... that there be no more from her was too hard to accept... Too many are being taken too young by cancer.. I pray that a cure may be found for all cancers soon...

[@Pitborn]

I really enjoyed this. Hope to hear much more of you. I am a musician but not a singer. I love Patricia's hauntingly beautiful voice and culture of singing. This extremely sad and untimely loss reminds me of Kathleen Ferrier's fate. Different times, different style. But I adore both singers. They passed on. To me, they are not dead. Can't be...

[@janetg.]

I'm a subscriber!!! LOL. Anyhow, I have no musical background, however....find you and learning from you has given me an admiration of great opera singers with beautiful voices including yourself. In fact, I will be seeing the Magic Flute in Cleveland soon and can't wait. Love you videos!

[@jessicasopranonotes]

Thank you! And I hope you have a great time at the opera!

[@luisloya1120]

I thoroughly enjoyed your video explaining her technique as well as music theory but I cried 😢 because I've been following her for years and I was a fan, I didn't know that she died until today. I am heartbroken.😭

[@EverettCox-g8z]

I found Patricia on a video of her country's talent contest singing Once Upon A Time In The West(a capella)which she won. At that time I was not a huge opera buff but her voice and vibrato called to me. I did not hear of her passing until about the end of the month she died. RIP dearest Patka. 😭😭😭One of the world's greatest voices stilled forever. 😭😭😭

[@tylerhackner9731]

[@henryhenderson4752]

Do you know Jessye Norman’s Christmas concert, it’s so epic. But, since the season has passed, her Leistod from Tristan…or Dido’s Lament…or anything. As a composer, I just love your breakdown and teaching which treats everyone as having great potential to truly hear the wonderful music happening!

[@michaelsharpe4217]

Did she do the Doll Aria from Tales of Hoffman?

[@normankennith7919]

yes indeed, she did! there are several videos available on you tube but her most famous version was the one she sang at a 2016 new year concert, austria style! patricia! there are 5 videos available from this concert, btw!

[@tellyhow6281]

The Doll aria got me hooked in the first place! It just popped out of KZbin and on Search, I caught the word funeral. Now I'm truly her fan for life, although I was no fan of opera! Just following this Angel forever!

[@rickandrew6397]

Everything I see her sing is just note perfect with the appearance of no effort from her, like she is just breathing the notes to us 😔♥️👌

[@petervowles3707]

The most beautiful recording of this fabulous piece of music since that by Ursula van Diemen in 1927. What a tragic loss to the world of opera and the liturgy.

[@OperaBuff1935]

I sang this work as a member of the Maryland Choral Society under Dr. Samuel Gordon in 1987, I believe. One of my favorite choral works I've sung in my 31 years of choral singing in groups in Maryland, D.C., Pennsylvania and North Carolina. ! would have loved to have sung behind Patricia Janeckova. RIP, dear Patricia!

Once upon a time in the west, we lost a most amazing singer. 😢

[@EverettCox-g8z]

Your first phrase is well said, as it was that song she sang and won her country's talent contest. We still love her.😭😭

[@Sunnanandi]

Dear Jess, I discovered Patricia early this year thanks to KZbin and was blown away by her wonderful voice and amazing breath control. Her Laudate Dominum was the first of her performances I heard and loved. Then in quick succession her Pie Jesu, Sancta Maria and Panis Angelicus. Hearing her jewel-like rendition of Giulio Caccini's extremely challenging Ave Maria at age 16 was jaw-dropping - you must play it. But then... I heard her sing her heart out with Antonin Dvorak's Rusalka and I am lost for superlatives! I was spellbound by the way she communicates deep emotion - she has me hook, line and sinker. Imagine then how I still completely break down whenever I hear her sing - at age TWELVE - Andrea Bocelli's Time To Say Goodbye. Pie Jesu (A L Webber) (age 18): kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqamqJJso9iSj8U Panis Angelicus (César Franck) (age 13): kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4DCeqWLociasMk Panis Angelicus (César Franck) (age 19): kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZWucnumbtJkh5I Ave Maria (Giulio Caccini) (age 16): kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6aoiqeOnJuqma8 Rusalka (Antonin Dvorak) (age 23): kzbin.info/www/bejne/bojViaekeL2Sb8k O mio babbino caro (G Puccini) (age 12): kzbin.info/www/bejne/bme9qKGJfqqhpLM Sancta Maria (Pietro Mascagni) (age 12): kzbin.info/www/bejne/mquqlqKqhLKWrpo Time To Say Goodbye (age 12): kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZexpp9tgb92msU What a note to end on.

[@Sunnanandi]

@@jessicasopranonotes Thank you Jess. I have found another great link for you. This is for Patricia's amazing success at the 2014 Sacred Music International Competition for Soloists held in a fabulous basilica in Rome. She was 16 years old and sang a difficult part from JS Bach's St Matthew's Passion flawlessly - and won first prize. This video shows her performance and her touching reaction on realizing she had won. The video notes also provide a further link to a video of the entire finals stage. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ammQgqaAdt9pgdU

[@garthdev]

I'm so sad on this one, thought she had one the battle. My best memory of Patricia was her singing the theme to Once upon a time in the West during a Miss contest. All of the girls just dropped their mouths because this young lady sung like an opera star

[@mariodubuc6095]

why did you have to dry your eyes as soon as the music started, I got so emotional that I had tears in my eyes. I have admired this singer for a long time and it broke my heart to learn of her death at such a young age. I'm going to watch all your reactions to Patricia because it's a way of honoring her, and what's more, your analyzes are always very interesting.

Know that she wouldn't want you to quit listening, it was her gift to you and I to enjoy forever.

[@dgibelli]

@@warpmine1761 good point. I never asked her what she thought about her international supporters but I think she did appreciate us because she was always charming and said hello when she spotted me. My flight to Czech is only 1.5 hours and I miss those trips.

[@peterburdge4138]

Thank you for this careful analysis (much of which, I admit, required a greater knowledge of musical theory than I possess). It is interesting to compare Patricia's 2017 performance, which you analysed, with her 2014 performance of the same work - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHW3dXh9oNpqma8 - when she would have been approaching her 16th birthday.

[@williamparrish9954]

[@Sunnanandi]

Dear Jess Did you know that Patricia WON at the age of 16, the prestigious (2014) Sacred Music International Competition for Soloists, held annually in the Basilica S. Maria Sopra Minerva in Rome? What I found incredible about her performance was that she chose such a difficult and rarely performed piece; 'J.S. Bach's "Aus Liebe will mein Heiland sterben" ('My Saviour Wants To Die For Love') - and she sang it flawlessly - in antique German - without any score to refer to! Here's the link to her performance and the presentation ceremony which I will long cherish: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ammQgqaAdt9pgdU
