Soliloqui - Carousel

[@andyruss9603]

What a fabulous performance! Oh how I wish I could play like you! Truly lovely. Thank you!

[@sprezzatura8755]

You are fantastic! Thank you!

Look at the concern in her face as she plays, in a higher register, the "what if it's a girl" portion. I never learned this as it's for a man, but she is living every note. I've heard it multiple times. And the wonderful climax, now masculine and assertive - I've gotta get money! Before it's too late - or die!

[@briboy2009]

That brought back memories of when I played Billy Bigalow. 😄

[@User1975-]

My goodness me!!! I"m so grateful as i'm a tenor and this is one of my most favourite R & H pieces that I perform!! You play superbly and highlight the genius of these composers!! The complexity in modulations and changes in tempo are thrilling to witness being played so flawlessly !! Thank you kindly !!

[@calamityjane32]

I love Carousel. I grew up listening to this and this is one is so moving!

[@mobillove007]

Thanks I’ll have to give it a shot. 👍🏾

I was hoping it would be a Carousel song! My favorite!

[@richardvicek8043]

Outstanding piece from the most musical of all musicals.

[@dennett73mk]

a little high and quick out of my range, but what a great idea! In most cases, the accompaniment follows the singer. Tough when you have to keep up!

[@antonioaugustosousa4824]

Amazing!!!

[@greenwoods798]

Thank You very much for your gorgeous work! It's really difficult to find instrumental versions of opera arias(( I really like to listen music without voice sometimes.

[@richardvicek8043]

Includes sometimes missing verse "When I have a daughter...". Bravo!

Wie schade, ich kann dich nie live zu sehen ...

[@pepinosinigual4107]

Hi! Could you do "Gracia mia" from Granados?

[@gabetoso2533]

I guessed it!

[@1155north]

I've done "Billy Bigelow" a little over 100 times. This is the first time I've heard the part, "When I have a daughter, I'll stand around in bar rooms..." except on the original cast album with John Raitt as "Billy". It's nice to hear - but it's cut out of the score. I have the score before me and it took me a minute to understand what you were doing. In all honesty, it threw me. While I know it, I have NEVER sung it, and I've performed this with both symphony orchestras and with pick-up orchestras. I just thought you should know - simply an FYI. I enjoy your playing and have used your accompaniment videos to practice, since COVID has caused me to work without my coach. Thanks for this. You might let someone know that you play this section, by the way. As I said, it's often cut, and isn't in the score. Keep on doing what you're doing, however. It's wonderful!

[@pocketpianist4556]

Thank you for your comment! I know, that it's often cut - but as we did the production of Carousel at our Theater, they decided to do this part - and in my full score it's in there, so I just did it, because I like it :-)

[BILLY] I wonder what he'll think of me I guess he'll call me the "old man" I guess he'll think I can lick Ev'ry other feller's father Well, I can! I bet that he'll turn out to be The spittin' image of his dad But he'll have more common sense Than his puddin'-headed father ever had! Faouzia “RIP, Love” Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verified Faouzia “RIP, Love” Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verified I'll teach him to wrestle And dive through a wave When we go in the mornins for our swim His mother can teach him The way to behave But she won't make a sissy out o' him Not him! Not my boy! Not Bill! Bill... My boy Bill, I will see that he is named after me, I will My boy, Bill! He'll be tall And tough as a tree, will Bill! Like a tree he'll grow With his head held high And his feet planted firm on the ground And you won't see nobody dare to try To boss or toss him around! No pot-bellied, baggy-eyed bully Will boss him around! I don't give a damn what he does As long as he does what he likes! He can sit on his tail Or work on a rail With a hammer, hammering spikes! He can ferry a boat on a river Or peddle a pack on his back Or work up and down The streets of a town With a whip and a horse and a hack He can haul a scow along a canal Run a cow around a corral Or maybe bark for a carousel... Of course, it takes talent to do that well Aha-ha-ha-ha! He might be a champ of the heavyweights Or a feller that sells you glue Or president of the United States That'd be all right, too His mother would like that! But he wouldn't be president if he didn't wanna be! Not Bill! My boy, Bill! He'll be tall And as tough as a tree, will Bill Like a tree he'll grow With his head held high And his feet planted firm on the ground And you won't see nobody dare to try To boss him or toss him around! No fat-bottomed, flabby-faced Pot-bellied, baggy-eyed bastard Will boss him around! And I'm damned if he'll marry his boss' daughter A skinny-lipped virgin with blood like water Who'll give him a peck And call it a kiss And look in his eyes through a lorgnette Say, why am I carryin' on like this? My kid ain't even born yet! I can see him when he's seventeen or so And startin' to go with a girl I can give him lots of pointers, very sound On the way to get 'round any girl I can tell him... Wait a minute! Could it be? What the hell! What if he is a girl? Bill... Oh, Bill! What would I do with her? What could I do for her? A bum with no money! You can have fun with a son But you gotta be a father to a girl She mightn't be so bad at that A kid with ribbons in her hair! A kind o' sweet and petite Little tin-type of her mother! What a pair! My little girl Sweet and light As peaches and cream is she My little girl Is half again as bright As girls are meant to be! Dozens of boys pursue her Many a likely lad does what he can to woo her From her faithful dad She has a few Pink and white young fellers of two or three But my little girl Gets hungry ev'ry night and she comes home to me... I've got to get ready before she comes! I got to make certain that she Won't be dragged up in slums With a lot o' bums like me! She's got to be sheltered And fed and dressed In the best that money can buy I never knew how to get money But, I'll try! By God, I'll try! I'll go out and make it or steal it Or take it Or die!

I have to disagree with Raghu. Your English is top-notch, with a very nice accent. Keep on introducing in English. Thanks

[@raghunandanhv1]

You should continue your introduction in German and then continue in English. Your German accent is more mellifluous than English's accent.

[@32biit]

What an absolute rude thing to say. She can speak in whatever language she likes.

[@raghunandanhv1]

@@32biit there is nothing rude in that. Ofcourse she is free to speak in whatever language she likes. Her German accent is more sweeter, so I mentioned it. Why are you taking it personally? If she feels its rude, She will comment. Why are you concerned about it?

[@greenwoods798]

Well, actually, it's an Russian accent (or Ukrainian, i don't know what her native language is), not German.

[@32biit]

@@raghunandanhv1 the fact that you are so oblivious as to why calling someone’s non-native language accent essentially ugly would be seen as rude is baffling. You are not a very bright person.

[@pocketpianist4556]

I think we should not fight about it. I have russian accent, and I know it's strong, my English is not very good, but the most of my followers are from USA, Korea and South America, so I guess, not many of them speak German. Whatever guys...doesn't matter
