Pumeza Matshikiza - Après un rêve, Op.7, No.1

[@DesertRose76]

The texture of a rose petal, this is how I see your voice when I listen to you. What a privilege to accompany you on the piano! From a fellow musician (pianist) whom you just brought to tears... of joy. 😊

[@hugues-v8i]

La grande artiste Pumeza Matshikiza nous donne une version très émouvante de cette mélodie, pleine de mystère et de rêverie. Je suis très touché par la finesse de cette interprétation. Merci Madame et bravo. Voici le texte de ce poème envoûtant : Dans un sommeil que charmait ton image Je rêvais le bonheur, ardent mirage Tes yeux étaient plus doux, ta voix pure et sonore Tu rayonnais comme un ciel éclairé par l'aurore; Tu m'appelais et je quittais la terre Pour m'enfuir avec toi vers la lumière Les cieux pour nous entr'ouvraient leurs nues Splendeurs inconnues, lueurs divines entrevues Hélas! Hélas, triste réveil des songes Je t'appelle, ô nuit, rends moi tes mensonges Reviens, reviens radieuse Reviens, ô nuit mystérieuse! Mélodie sur un poème italien anonyme adapté en français par Romain Bussine. - Dédicace à Marguerite Baugnies. - Date de composition : 1877. - 1re exécution : Paris, Société nationale de musique, 11 janvier 1879. Tonalité : do mineur

She has always been one of my favourite voices under the sun since the days of our riverly in high schools competitions. Not even a single day passes without listening to both her albums, in my car, house and mobile phones. Gracie Pumeza.

[@FCOLAXCDG]

Amen!! 🇱🇨

[@idameyer5530]

Pumeza, you make me proud to be South African! Bravississimo girl, you are an enigma. Absolute bliss to listen and watch you sing. God bless your soul.

Hi Pumeza! I'm the boy from La Boheme with the Dallas Opera. I would always wave during the march.

Beautiful & very creatively done!

[@didiermerlin9677]

Admirable interprétation ... si française , ce qui n'a rien de facile . Oui , admirable

[@np7133]

One of the best interpretations, the softness of Barbara Hendricks with a bit of the lyric voice of Nathalie Dessay ♥️

[@cammcdonnell1519]

I stumbled across this by happenstance, and I am so glad I did! Brava!

[@Mary-Hastings]

Absolument magnifique!

[@Bribrandyn489]

The perfection that is her voice!

[@TCt83067695]

I like how the video was shot and the lighting captures the ideas behind the lyrics. Well done *Edit:* and even when she sings "reviens. Reviens !" that's when the camera starts to pull away from her. That's just beautiful watching it for the second time

[@eskovilkman8069]

Absolutely fabulous! Merci beaucoup!

Mal eine Stimme die durch Schönheit nicht durch Lautstärke überzeugt.

[@forvardnuyno6106]

💙💛🤙

[@LuisDiaz-dy5sm]

Translation anyone?

[@gingervlogs7695]

In a slumber which held your image spellbound I dreamt of happiness, passionate mirage, Your eyes were softer, your voice pure and sonorous, You shone like a sky lit up by the dawn; You called me and I left the earth To run away with you towards the light, The skies opened their clouds for us, Unknown splendours, divine flashes glimpsed, Alas! Alas! sad awakening from dreams I call you, O night, give me back your lies, Return, return radiant, Return, O mysterious night.

[@oscarsanchez5323]

muy bonito, lástima que al final el piano está todo picado

[@didierclot7154]

Écoutez Régine Crespin pour la diction mais la voie est belle et musicalité

[@pilouetmissiou]

La voce è un pò calante a momenti. Questo è una mélodie molto difficile comunque...

[@didierclot5331]

Pas mal mais Crespin la référence

[@TheFirefox8192]

Pum.eza Matshikiza please remember God. Never forget him ,please because Hell is real and eternal

[@BetuliaLiberata]

She is great...But I'd look into the nasality issue.

[@faithtebatsomoichela133]

It would have been even greater had you left out the "but"..

[@robinorene]

BetuliaLiberata French has many nasal sounds in it. 😄

[@micheleantonello3187]

It is quite difficult to sing French pieces without nasality; it is the nature of the language. If one listens to the French singing their own music it is quite apparent. I never had an issue with nasality until I sang this song; I was just listening to an old tape and thought 'my gawd! where did that come from?' That being said, this is a beautiful rendition and pronunciation does not affect the gorgeous sounds issuing from her mouth.
