Thomas Hampson Masterclass June 24, 2016

[@johnboulanger5201]

I always learn so much from Thomas Hampson's masterclasses.

[@pega17pl]

Always a great pleasure to listen and watch Thomas Hampson at his masterclasses.

[@mingu1403]

Talking & singing is completely different thing! This is what I can remember of this master class ❤thanks a lot maestro Thomas Hampson!

[@evaschmid7007]

.......what a gift🙏.....thank you so much dear Thomas Hampson.......

[@23gregorius]

What amazes me is the purity and perfection of Thomas Hampson in the German language. For more than 30 years I (born in Germany) listen to the great voices and always found that singers with native English could never perfectly match the difficult German language as by example Friedrich Fischer Diskau. Thomas Hampson is the rare exception ! He is also unique in his holistic approach to music. Music is itself something from a different world and very few are born with a key to this world: our composers. They copied what they heard there. And very few of the singers (Thomas Hampson, René Fleming) enter while they sing into this world of music and perform what they sing in wonderful perfection giving us utmost joy, sometimes we enter into some kind of ecstasy. Yes, we love music because it makes us so happy.

[@pega17pl]

Totally agree.

[@TheSycorax]

Did you ever hear Sir Thomas Allen? I first couldn't believe that he's a native English speaker.

[@georgblomeyer773]

Let me give you another mind set about music. Rarely in the west has somebody asked who created the music giving us such extreme happiness. Mr. Everding once mentioned that Mozart must have got a specific piece from heaven and had just copied it. That's it ! You will not find such an answer when asking all the great - and less great western musicians. But ask a normal Indian and s/he will smile and answer. Very easy to us but almost impossible to understand for you. For us the transcendental Divine (existing before the big bang or present creation) appears to us in two equal forms, female and male. the female aspect having the function to bring out all what is. SHE (called Mahashakti) created the world of music and gives a few of us at birth the key to enter this world and copy what they listen there. So the great composer never created any music, they copied it. I think you in the west have got in one of your Christian faiths the Mother of God, but not with all the marvel functions and the Divine Grace as with us. Lets see what the western public and great personalities there will say, if you tell them that all music comes from the Mother of God.

Hampson has lived in Austria for decades.

[@isaballaserrano4991]

He is a dream teacher 👏🏻💯❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@conglambuile]

Thank you Thomas Hampson. I like it.

[@birgirstefansson5398]

Fantastic job with the song at the river!!!! gj Thomas!!!!

[@edbonner9083]

The final pianist was fantastic. And the 2nd singer had a lovely dark centre to his voice like Robert Merill. Fantastic rapport and tuition from Thomas Hampson.

[@4444marla]

The young barytone who is singing " o du Mein Holder Abendstern" has a truly unusually gorgeous voice.

[@szerminator355]

Thomas is also a great actor and speaker...respect!

[@siegfriedk178]

Ich finde Thomas Hampson einen ausgezeichneten Gesangslehrer. Er weiß worauf es ankommt, und kann es zudem auch vermitteln. Chapeau!

[@lilianwach4526]

Sorry, aber schauen Sie eine Masterclass von Sir Thomas Allen an. DAS ist ein guter Gesangslehrer! Was Herr Hampson da produziert, ist eitle Selbstbespiegelung. Nicht mehr und nicht weniger. "Right?"

[@mingu1403]

He became a different lever of a singer after Maestro’s teaching! Listen and watching video at 1:15..

[@DanielAvinashVOX]

You cannot watch Thomas Hampson and not learn something. Voice teachers are usually not the best singers. Think Seth Riggs or Roger Love. This guy is both! A gem, a genius, and a gentleman.

[@arminsteinke2301]

1:14:00 what a beautiful voice! Such a rich tone and heartbreaking Timbre. And Hampton adjusting singers bodys..

[@facundoferro4400]

Armin Steinke who is? Precioso

[@pega17pl]

Thomas Hampson? - He deserves his Like without doing anything at stage!

[@giorgiovladi2093]

Hi is okay .

[@evaschmid1919]

🥰

[@muhammadtaufiqurachman6317]

Anyone know the name of 3rd pianist?. Thanks before

[@Tkimba2]

Pretentiousness level: beyond humanly bearable

[@AlexOrozco-Social-Pariah]

I don't like Hampsons performance, but his advices are quite on spot. A little bit of an ass that he interrupts more than what should be acceptable for anyone's patience but his advices are great to perfect the technique as an interpreter.

[@lesvegetables4973]

that first guy looks like sherlock's brother...

[@jadenlewis6250]

what was the piece to the aria sang at 32:13 what song was that melody/aria/part from ?

[@lachmannk]

That was "O du mein holder Abendstern" from Tannhäuser

[@pingmanyung6463]

Jaden Lewis

[@tensaiow5133]

Does anyone know the piece of the 3rd singer to come up on stage?

[@simioncaflorin7010]

Mein Sehnen, mein Wähnen (Pierrot's Tanzlied) from Act II of the German opera Die Tote Stadt by Erich Korngold Libretto: Paul Schott

[@stellakosim7032]

what is the title of the song that the 3rd singer perform?

[@simioncaflorin7010]

Stella Kosim Mein Sehnen, mein Wähnen (Pierrot's Tanzlied) from Act II of the German opera Die Tote Stadt by Erich Korngold Libretto: Paul Schott

[@stellakosim7032]

Simionca Florin thank you! Appreciate it!

[@mingu1403]

It’s more respectful to hear the introduction to introduce a pianist as a pianist someone not as my pianist she or he is pianist someone not my pianist as he or she is not only play piano for one individual singers. This is my opinion.

[@jonathanmorales803]

Surprised Hampson knew who Robert Merrill was. One of the great baritones of the century. He did nothing of what Hampson talks about technically.

[@tonshaad1230]

One of the most boring MasterClasses I've heard.

[@Beadle_Bamford]

It’s a masterclass. If you need entertainment go to Netflix.
