[@markferwerda7968]

The accompanist did a great job!

[@dwaynecampbell3261]

What a pro, his breath is unbelievable

[@alanmorrice7305]

What a performance! I have tears in my eyes.

Prachtig! 👏 Such a wonderful pairing- Roderick Williams delivers these RLS/RVW gems with genuine love and sensitivity, and Daan Boertien's sincere accompaniment is truly outstanding. Wherever and whenever this pair may reassemble, I will come and listen, for sure. But I really must hear "Let Beauty Awake," please 🙏 Van harte!

Bravo! I love this song cycle, and this was a great performance

[@filipjurkiewicz7065]

Give to me the life I love, Let the lave go by me, Give the jolly heaven above, And the byway nigh me. Bed in the bush with stars to see, Bread I dip in the river- There’s the life for a man like me, There’s the life for ever. Let the blow fall soon or late, Let what will be o’er me; Give the face of earth around, And the road before me. Wealth I seek not, hope nor love, Nor a friend to know me; All I seek, the heaven above, And the road below me. Or let autumn fall on me Where afield I linger, Silencing the bird on tree, Biting the blue finger. White as meal the frosty field- Warm the fireside haven- Not to autumn will I yield, Not to winter even!

Stunning! Perfection!

[@simeonm1215]

Williams's performance is excellent. But it would be less impressive if not for the superb support from the excellent pianist Daan Boertien.

Excerpts ----- Full cycle 9 songs...

[@ianrutlandboughton988]

Lovely to hear Roderick singing my favourite of RVW's songs I have sung myself over the years - but a few missing numbers?

[@robinhillyard6187]

True but IMHO he got the best numbers of the set

[@keithwms]

@@robinhillyard6187 Nay, my favorite is missing- "Let Beauty Awake."

[@robinhillyard6187]

@@keithwms you’re right! How could I have forgotten that one?

[@ilovetorre2]

Scusate, ma il ciclo non è completo. Come mai?

[@keithwms]

Indeed. And what they left out is one of the finest RVW songs, in my opinion. (That said, it's a very challenging piece)
