Jonas Kaufmann - Chanson triste (Henri Duparc) video free download

David Wilson-Burns

This is not opera.  This is melodie.  His approach is not nearly lyrical enough.  Listen to Gerard Souzay,Sean Daniel, Leopold Simoneau

Kaufmann is a great artist and we are lucky to hear him, however , even if he likes this melodie, his vocal approach is wrong for it. The performance is very earnest and commands respect for that. However over those wonderful arpeggios of the piano accompaniment sits a flowing vocal line which needs to be spun and caressed with colours of melancholy , then hope and finally a wistful last phrase. Unfortunately the high note on 'tant' sounds more like Lohengrin and doesn't emerge as a consequence of the musical phrase. A pity, but wonderful that he is interested in this repertoire.

Jonas Kaufmann is always amazing,thank you for posting this. I sang this my freshman year and in juries. This video was a big help. My name is Cassie Kutev and I have the channel called Melodic Maze.To me,music is a universal language that can be accessible by anyone.But I’ve seen that many folks are hesitant to get into to music or really want to learn more due the fact that music has a lot of its own terminology and to put on top of that,sheet music which for a lot of people,even recording artist,they do not understand these systems. My goal for my channel is to make a community for the music makers and the music appreciators so that they can call come together.I've created my first skit/satire called Practice Room Rituals,please check it out. It's a comedic point of view on practice room antics.I'm currently creating the beginnings of a series of how to read sheet music and will eventually build up to simple tips on advanced music theory.Thank you so much.

I like how he sang this song, I'm a student of singing, and I like I really like, the way how he makes everything !!

I love Jonas Kaufmann but for the chanson triste Jean-François Lapointe is the best I know!

Beautifully passionate

Sounds like a tenor who doesn't want to be a tenor. Also didn't realize wagner wrote this song. That being said, I wish I was as consistent as this guy.. what a beast. 

Cynthia Chase

This doesn't sound like him at all.

I am  HUGE Jonas Kaufmann fan, but he should stay away from French art songs. This is some of the worst singing I have ever heard. The longer it went on, the worse it got. At some point listening to this song became physically painful. Everything is off the way he sings this Duparc; the voice is too dark, the vowels are all swallowed, the expressions are too dramatic, the emotions are misplaced. NO, NO, NO!!!  Love you Jonas, but French art songs are not your thing.

Wonder what his record collection is like.

Ludwig Stephani

The moment he started singing, I knew Kaufmann wouldn't do justice to the song. The more it progressed, the more unpleasant it became. This song is supposed to be dramatic in emotion, but not in the way it is sung. This isn't Nessun Dorma. This is a French art song. It should not be so grand. I recall the sheet music marked "très doux" and "lent, avec un sentiment tendre et intime" and he failed to accomplish that.

I'd tap that. Sincerely, a soprano that is in love with his sound!

Mauvaise prise de son. La voix est couverte par le piano. Dommage.

I'll start by saying that I could never sing as well as JK. I'm only making these comments based on the diction courses I'm taking in college right now. I'm sorry, but I'm really not a fan of his singing in this piece. I heard JK singing in Parsifal, and that's his strong point. Wagnerian style, powerful soaring tenor. French art songs, not so much. He sounded way too... epic for a piece that is supposed to be intimate and smooth.

Guess I will have to wait in line...lol...
