Quasthoff On Schubert's Nacht Und Träume & Early Consonants

[@saxamaphoneguy1]

The "student" has such a wonderful vibrato! It's so controlled and smooth! great tone too, as well as pronunciation!

[@henrykaspar3634]

Of all the miraculous Schubert songs, this is the most beautiful in my book.

[@BangkokVoiceCoach]

Totally agree. I can’t hold in my emotions when I hear this song. 🎵 😢

[@MMFmasterclass]

The Tenor's name is Seil Kim. He comes from Soputh Korea.

[@2000wattz]

First of all, I have never watched a video where Thomas didn’t interrupt the student mid song. Secondly, this singer’s legato in the German piece is astounding! German is so syllabic it takes true mastery to make it sound like one line. Bravo!

[@comment6864]

A young Nicolai Gedda unsurpassed too

[@diskodavedm]

The student singer is absolutely superb! Just the right amount of expression and beautiful control with the vibrato. Such an inspiring video, only heard of Thomas Quasthoff anout 10 minutes and now i'm hooked!

[@clockWorks10]

The student singing in this is very good. His control is excellent.

[@김승재-h2g]

He's seil kim korean best tenor!!

[@MMFmasterclass]

He is a tenor. The song he is singing is Schubert's "Nacht und Traume" (Night and Dreams)

[@wenaolong]

Phenomenal. It is so amazing... So beautiful. To see these beings exist, and create such beauty... so beautiful. Thank you.

[@mozartsbumbumsrus7750]

It's always good and comforting to look back and remember great Beauty and sincerity and Truth. As a professional clarinettist of many decades, the voice comes through clarinet in the right hands.

[@olialto7]

What a lovely tenor voice! I was enchanted!

[@pabloco2627]

I love Quastoff and this tenor has a beautiful voice. I have found another video of him singing Seil Kim Tenor Lensky Aria "Kuda Kuda" very nice.

[@goekegl]

Among the best verions I have heard. Good tempo, good phrasing and very acceptable German diction. Ausgezeitnet!

[@jeffreyteich4189]

A wonderful performance. His breath control and purity of tone reminds me of Gigli, I have tried this song as a bariotone and it is extremely demanding, The slow pace and sustained pitches requires intense concentration and no mistakes. Seil Kim has gone on to start a successful career,

[@dcllaw677]

I am sorry to be overly sentimental but Maestro Q is truly an inspiration on so many levels.

[@Falstaff85]

Quasthoff is a prince. I'm going to hear him sing Schubert next week.

[@ISwimForChrist]

Thanks for this video, I could only imagine what it would be like to be in Thomas Quasthoff's studio. And the tip about adding the consonant before the beat is so true, especially in German. My Chorale professor is constantly reminding us of that, so It was nice to hear it from yet another voice.

[@markusgross-boelting8582]

I do not know too much of singing, but I am a germanist who works with language all day long. And even I need to admit that I had never thought what you can get out of words. That is a miracle 😊

[@marcelverhoog7068]

Again Thomas, you did it so good and with so much respect for the young talent. Bravo, bravo, what a miracle you are 😊❤️🙏

[@MMFmasterclass]

Thanks for your comment. In all the classes of Thomas Quasthoff that I attended I never saw him being unkind to a pupil. Tough certainly, but I doubt that he would destroy anyone's confidence or be unkind for the sake of it. Most people were truly inspired by him.

[@BeEarnest]

The Tenor is indeed rather marvellous allready. I very much like quasthoff teaching style.

[@joanabanyeres]

Wua, master Thomas You are a wonderful teacher. The way you tell this very promising young tenor to take profit with the vowels , you know few singers and more also very few teachers are able to teach like you, Bravo. ! This young tenor has a marvelous legato !

[@benjabitoya]

i sang the brahms requiem with quasthoff at verbier this summer - he's such a gentleman and a true artist...

[@Parmenides08]

Beautiful voice!

[@kathish]

Fascinating, and a beautiful performance too. Look at Quasthoff's expressive face go!

[@monster0129]

Wow! What a teacher.

[@MrInterestingthings]

wONDERFUL VOICE IN THIS MIRACLE OF SCHUbert lied . Schubert must have written his lied with the idea that any vocal range would be able to accomplish their needs but musically the gorgeous open sound and calmness of Kim is transcedent !

[@henrykaspar3634]

Master teacher. Master student who will be a master teacher himself one day.

[@mrpankau]

What a master. And what a great guy!

[@justasondheimbaby]

my goodness...this is exquisite.

[@realias]

seriously though, very comfortable to listen to, good musical feeling. very good pronunciation for an asian, from my experience that is not always the case. I hope he continues, he is a super great tenor!! :-)!

[@quk-whatZ]

His voice is very beutiful, and his phrase is wonderful.

[@qhubbles]

Both the student and the teacher are really superb! I'd do anything to have at least a 5 minute class with Quasthoff. *.*

[@KayHarpaGone]

Un moment de pur plaisir !

[@TenzinChodrak]

Thank you for sharing. Anticipating consonants, an important element in singing Lieder and English as well...

[@Shamsithaca]

Very good voice and a great master.

[@martacelinabossa8235]

Que hermosa conjuncion Dos voces bellisimas Quastoff super!!!❤❤❤

[@Jonnybrams]

The first tenor has a very light, smooth sound. I could easily see him singing something Baroque, like Haydn or Montiverdi.

[@raulpierri]

really beautiful

[@naturalydecadent]

beautifully sang

[@tranelarod]

"That was beautiful. I'm unemployed!" That's hilarious!

[@orannisthedestroyer]

oh my....this is fabulous!

[@MMFmasterclass]

@zooophfilm He is indeed fantastic. His name is Seil Kim.

[@TanjaE83]

Wow, that's absolutely beautiful!

[@Oberon90]

That was a very deep "AND" at 4:31 :D...A good and wise teache.

[@norisv]

Thanks for posting this video! That's wonderful teaching.

[@cozminsime]

it was a pleasure to listen! thank you for posting!

[@MMFmasterclass]

You might be interested to know that we have just released another Thomas Quasthoff masterclass - this time he is concentrating on Schubert Lieder. Visit the Masterclass Media Foundation's webiste to find out more.

[@차희동-t8b]

사랑스럽네요 감사합니다 .

[@larsstrik]

Mr. Quasthoff is really good. I totally agree on his early consonants and on his tempo rubato. :-)

[@JerseyBobo]

Sweet tenor voice. I wonder how he sings after 1/2 year.

[@user-od5uh8pr2g]

Крутой мужик!

[@Tico4president]

Lovely ah vowels!

[@abirdthatflew]

Absolutely brilliant, and adds to our understanding of the great genius, Schubert.

[@asx5252]

great comparison!

[@tjonesmusicman]

man i'd be scared shitless! lol

[@hela99]

interesting to watch. the idea of teaching itself somehow is interesting ... it can be painful, and yet you get something from it. i like quasthoff's comments about the belauschen, and that the singer should not to a crescendo there.

[@BorisGodunov]

@Deadmoon194 He was saying the student is a tenor, not Quasthoff.

[@amillia007]

I want to work with him!Does anybody know how to get a contact with him for masterclass or private lesson?Thank you

[@ONeirda]

@maxpertile It's part of the way of getting into the head resonances. I personally don't have the impression of too much nasality. Better a bit of nose than none at all (like Jonas Kaufmann, for example...). But, yes, the nose should not be heard isolated. This tenor, however, is on a very, very good way. Imagine, it's not his mothertongue. So he has my full understanding that some diction is not perfectly natural. Imagine myself singing Korean - no way. A. from Uri, Switzerland.

[@mrm4xim4m]

Seil Kim. it says that at the start!

[@ragnarkisten]

Incredably beautiful. Do anyone know the name of this tenor? This is good singing. Sounds so much better than alot of opera singers!

[@힣-k6m]

Seil kim !

[@BenDalmont]

Found it! makes my previous message a bit useless. So it's "Nacht und Träume", D.827 (Op.43 No.2). Tchouss

[@ONeirda]

@maxpertile Caro Massimiliano, è un piacere discutere con Lei a questo alto livello di competenza. "De gustibus non est disputandum" - Bonisolli (senza "n"!), Corelli, Del Monaco, Merli, e Barioni per il mio gusto cantavano troppo fortemente. Gli altri tenori che elenca mi piacciono molto come tenori di opera. Parlando di nasalità: Lauri Volpi usava questo altro fattore di risonanza estensivamente - mantenendo la sua voce giovanile fine ad un' alta età. "Mezza voce": Sì, quello si chiama m.v.

[@Deadmoon194]

@MMFmasterclass I thought he was a bass-baritone?

[@Deadmoon194]

@MMFmasterclass He's a bass-bariton, not a tenor.

[@ragnarkisten]

yeah seil kim, i know i know!

[@glenzorr]

'Belauschen, it's what the Stasi did' I think I love Quasthoff a tiny bit more now. Didn't think that was possible.

[@BangkokVoiceCoach]

“I’m unemployed!” 😂😂

[@HerrWarja]

Oh, he reminds me of my singingteacher

[@FranzFischerSDG]

Wonderful. a couple of suggestions. 1. The timber of the sound should be a bit more rounder with less pointed placement because of the poem. 2. Should have more ANTICIPATION in important words long before actual beat and need more in important voiced consonants such as L, M, N, V and Z. 3. open "i" is different from closed "e" such as "mit", "sinkest" are open "i" and "kehret" is closed "e". lastly remember when two words become one, the accent on the second word shift to the first word such as in Mondlicht instead of Mond Licht.

[@flaze3]

He's a lovely singer--he's just not overdoing it :p

[@ONeirda]

@maxpertile Penso che una "voce tagliando come una spada" non sarebbe lo stile che sia adeguato a questo Lied... Poi, l'assunto che il vecchio belcanto sfortunatamente sia estinto e perduto per sempre, io non lo assecondo. C'erano bravissime cantante e bravissimi cantanti a Vienna attraverso le 1905, bravissimi anche a la Metropolitan attraverso le 1910, e ci sono anche bravissime cantante e bravissimi cantanti oggi, comparabile all' altissimo livello. Il "belcanto morto" - per me è un mito.

[@spevoljub]

Apprezzo il suo orgoglio italiano. Ma almeno per un non -Italiano questi primati sono un po discutibili. Scusate mi per interrompere vostra discussione interessante. Saluti.

[@flaze3]

What a great masterclass --that's a really good tip about the 'n' coming early. Ah to be a tenor... :p Oh well.

[@ONeirda]

@maxpertile Con tutto rispetto che quello genere di teatro-musica che più tardi si chiamava "opera" fu iniziato in Firenze (Camerata de' Bardi) e fra pochi dicenni si diffondeva sopra quasi tutti i principati italiani, l'assunto che per natura "gli Italiani capiscono un' pò dell' arte di canto" non lo assecondo mai generalmente. In Italia, ho fatto l'esperienza di ottimi ed anche bruttissimi "maestri" di canto, come ho fatto l'esperienza di ottimi maestri in Austria, Germania, Stati Uniti.

[@ONeirda]

Sono molto d'accordo con Lei che il signor Kaufmann non canta di maniera sana. Per il mio gusto, mancha appunto quello che Lei probabilmente (ed anche io) stimo nelle voci di Gigli, Kraus, Martinelli, Björling, e Lauri Volpi: il flusso libero dello squillo, il clangore colorato e frescho. Sono cresciuto ascoltando a registrazioni di Gigli mille volte. Ho quasi assorbito la sua voce in tutte le sue faccette. Oggi, adoro anche Gedda e Kraus. E poi naturalmente anche Wunderlich.

[@alexninko]

he could be a nice lieder tenor, i dont like him very much singing opera

[@namutron]

En el minuto 5:02 parece que estuviera escupiendo... Jachuuu!!!!!!!! hahahahahah

[@Guichotpresident]

He sounds a bit like an "haute-contre" doesn't he?

[@akiaki9jade]

wow the pianist is hot

[@THEORIGINALFrostByte]

@SirGlennGould Agreed. His voice is very light, and it doesn't seem very powerful. I prefer a more dramatic and slightly darker sound.

[@benjabitoya]

whoo, strong opinions, brotha. why do you say that?

[@ronnieince4568]

Great tenor performance ftom Seil Kim but for me nobody matches baritone Gerard Souzay -his version touched the soul -simply matchless diction and phrasing .

[@ONeirda]

@nobisotti Ein Mann mit einer wunderschönen Tenorstimme. Was soll denn Ihre Frage "auf welchem Weg ist der Künstler?" Das ist wohl eine Frage, die nur für Sie, in Ihrer eigenen Welt besteht. Was für eine Perspektive müssen denn Sie haben, wenn für Sie die Geschlechtlichkeit des Menschen noch vor dem Menschen selber kommt, ha! Sie tun uns leid.

[@tenorland]

@amillia007 You should try famouse tenor Agim Hushi at Vienna Conservatorium, considered as the best master of the voice today. Open your mind and found out about my information. Teaching singing is not only experience but mainly expertise. Good luck.

[@polloloco26]

is it normal for that type of tenor voice to toss his larynx upwards? It produces a soft but uninteresting sound I think.

[@Tenorliebe]

@maxpertile Ich gebe Ihnen so recht! Quasthoff aeusserte sich z.B. ueber Bocelli mit: "Davon bekomme ich Pickel"! Ich jedenfalls brauche keinen deutschen Lehrer und tue das lieber autodidaktisch. Gerne wuerde ich mir einen italienischen Lehrer wuenschen, da die auch in der Lage sind dramatische Stimmen auszubilden! Nichts aber gegen die deutsche Gesangstechnik insofern, da sie das probateste Mittel gegen "Schlafstoerungen" ist!

[@Will84ABA]

hahaah what is "belausching"? The Stasi is belausching people" hahahaha

[@MScJorgePoveda]

Ese es un comentario grosero y racista. Los jovenes deben mostrar mas generosidad en la vida para salir avante...de lo contrario les aplican la misma medicina. ¡¡¡Curese en salud jovencito¡¡¡.

[@아무것도아님-n2d]

테너 이세일

[@Ganwokakeru]

Well he's an amazing teacher - and this singer is amazing as well. But his body is somewhat shocking...

[@antekmilka9808]

The pianist is atrocious … Souzay could give them all a lesson in the art .

[@lesterarbusto3535]

Souzay was indeed a fine pianist...

[@joaoaurelio1534]

ROFL!!!!!

[@realias]

he has good pronunciation for a chipanese

[@sabinewussow2998]

Schrecklich !
