The Cold Song | Aksel Rykkvin (15y baritone) & James Dickenson

[@mavisemberson8737]

Excellent version.

[@lindafox1948]

My God, that crescendo near the start 😮 and also at 2:38! What a thrill. Can scarcely believe he was FIFTEEN years old - most boys are still yodelling at that age.

[@hetedeleambacht6608]

exactly......he somehow managed to go through his break very fast....

[@benswithen236]

I'm roaming through KZbin and watching *all* the performances of The Cold Song, and there are so many excellent renditions. This one (and Aksell's orchestral one from a year younger) has clarity and sorrow. I love the simplicity of the piano behind it.

[@alexanderseliga2261]

Danke!

[@brucealanwilson4121]

Wonderful. You were a sweet little boy singer---now you are growing into a powerful young man.

[@fraumahler5934]

Can’t stop wanting to hear him sing this stunning Purcell song

[@hetedeleambacht6608]

wow. i just fell of my chair. Singing a soprano aria just.....a year ago?! And now this....I thought it took longer time to adapt to the changed voice....Aksel clearly embraced his beautiful low voice and is clearly enjoying it.....he doesnt look back to linger on....Bravo, forwards it is!!

[@34Arran]

I was searching through performances if “Eternal Source of Light Divine,” and found your performance as a Boy. I then became interested to see how your voice had developed. Your performance of the “Cold Song,” certainly not easy, makes me want to continue the search through to your more recent videos. Such clarity and assurance at the age of 15. Bravo!

[@julianadams5753]

Rykkvin is a versatile young performer with a fine voice and, without a doubt, a stellar career ahead of him. Bravo!

[@judithbrandt3518]

Tears streaming down my face... Exquisite

Thank you for being so dedicated to what you do and softening our hearts with the beauty of your voice. Magic stuff.

[@newshound64]

Thank you for adding the subtitles. Because of the way it is to be sung, it is hard to understand.

[@christiaanboudri1602]

Great performance! I can almost feel the cold!

[@AkselRykkvin]

Good 🥶😆

[@priyaramesh9525]

Beautiful rendition. Powerful voice and great talent. Wish you the very best!

Lyrics: What power art thou Who from below Hast made me rise Unwillingly and slow From beds of everlasting snow See'st thou not how stiff And wondrous old Far unfit to bear the bitter cold I can scarcely move Or draw my breath I can scarcely move Or draw my breath Let me, let me, Let me freeze again Let me, let me Freeze again to death Let me, let me, let me Freeze again to death...

[@Hary197629]

Очень эмоциональное, сильное исполнение. Спасибо! Не ожидала, что эта запись сделана в церкви. Мой сын учится на вокалиста и совсем недавно стал петь в церкви. Как раз сегодня днём слушала, как он репетирует перед предстоящими рождественскими выступлениями. Браво вам! Новых успехов вам в 2019 году! С интересом послушаю записи ваших выступлений!

[@AkselRykkvin]

Thank you, happy you liked it! It was not performed during a service, of course, but during a Christmas concert in church, so then it's ok. Best of luck to your son!

[@evelynmariayeshua]

Wonderful, what a privilege to follow your path as you move forward

[@domiviking]

Bravo Aksel! As much as you surprised me with your soprano voice, so much do you charm me with your baritone voice! I am always a fan of you!

[@AkselRykkvin]

Very happy to hear that! Thanks :)

[@alexanderseliga2261]

You have a beautiful voice! Thank you for your songs and for your passion for the music.I love your music and your concerts very much.

[@bobb7993]

Where your voice was a bud, this is the flower! Compared to the soprano which was lovely, this latest baritone version is superb! Thank you for sharing it.

[@AkselRykkvin]

That is fantastic to hear, thank you!

[@CarlosRochaOdicial]

Your voice is becoming enormous. Bravo!

[@rasmusrytter2377]

Bravo Aksel, you’ve been through a fantastic transformation. A great song for you to perform, my favorite until now. Wow 👍👍👍

[@torhildsagenghansen6074]

The sign of musical quality - the goosebumps - surely was present. A great talent developing, we will hear more from this young man in the future! And the church, the one on my husband's birthplace, nice to see, I have been there. :)

Omg, Aksel. That was chilling, frightening, utterly magnificent. I was so caught up in your performance that I was startled to see you smile at the end. Bravo!

[@AkselRykkvin]

Hehe, after that dark message I had to lighten the mood a little bit :)

Brilliant! Congratulations. Thanks

[@maurizio1187]

Bravissimo!

[@로보티니콜라스]

The material is there , the voice, just wait to get this out there. Repertoire, and specifically speaking about tessitura(because it's transported lower) are like clothes. When you did handel, it fit your soprano voice amaizingly. Now, your instrument needs to grow in a healthy way. Don't push it, or shape it into a mold, I write this with so much care and tenderness because you're an amaizing young artist and I adore you. Wish you the greatest luck Aksel

[@AkselRykkvin]

Thank you for the advice! We are carefully trying out different things with my voice teacher all the time. Right now it's lieder again and Britten songs, and those seem to suit me well.

[@ustadm2361]

Je ne suis pas spécialiste, mais n'empêche c'est la meilleure interprétation de ce morceau que j'ai jamais entendue. La seule chose qu'on pourrait lui reprocher, c'est l'accompagnement au piano qui ne fait pas très baroque, mais franchement, la qualité d'âme qui perce dans la voix fait oublier tout cela. Continue comme ça, mon grand, c'est tout.

[@Alexander_Goosev]

That would be interesting to talk about your experience going from a soprano to a Baritone, and how much changed, and some comparison videos
