Podcasts about Bryn Terfel

A report from Carnegie Hall's SongStudio 2025: Bryn Terfel, Anthony Roth Costanzo, Hartmut Holl and Renee Fleming.

South African soprano Pumeza Matshikiza has performed at many of the leading opera houses across Europe and the United States and released her debut album Voice of Hope, combining well-known arias with traditional and popular African songs. She has won critical acclaim in the title role of Aida at the State Opera Hannover, as the Fox in Janáček's The Cunning Little Vixen at the English National Opera and this summer performed at London's Classical Pride. She is about to accompany Bryn Terfel on a Christmas tour around the UK and joins Nuala in the studio to sing live.CensHERship is an organisation that looks into ways in which women's health companies are censored across both online and financial platforms. A new report from them sets out how even including a word like ‘vagina' in the launch of a sexual health product can mean that product is blocked. Co-founder of CensHERship Clio Wood joins Nuala to discuss what needs to be done and the findings of the report, alongside Tess Cosad, CEO and co-founder of Bea Fertility, and Farah Kabir, co-founder of Hanx – both of whom have experienced censorship of their business.Author Josie Lloyd joins Nuala to discuss her new novel featuring fictional Alice Beeton, the prim and organised owner of The Good Household Management Agency and distant relative of the real-life Victorian cookery and household writer Mrs Beeton. Alice and her ancestor share a love of recipes and an eye for detail, which comes in handy when Alice becomes involved in a cosy, Christmassy crime in Miss Beeton's Murder Agency. Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Laura Northedge

Britain's greatest living opera singer, Bryn Terfel, tells us of the magic in the Welsh water and how he began life as a farmer's son, recounts his rise to fame, explains the secrets to his success as a bass baritone, reflects on performing with his wife, the harpist, Hannah Jones, remembers listening to Pavarotti in his dressing room and appearing with José Carerras, and chooses the role and opera house he'd take with him to Heaven.

Matthew's guest on this month's chart show is the great Richard Thompson. In a wide-ranging interview, he muses on his songwriting process, warns of the terrible consequences of a second Trump Presidency in the USA and warmly praises the next two generations of Thompson family talent. There's also music from Richard's ex-wife Linda and their son Teddy, plus Bernard Butler, Katherine Priddy, Lankum Live in London, Landless, Blair Dunlop and Bryn Terfel.---We rely on support from our listeners to keep this show on the road.

Demnächst ist Bryn Terfel wieder als Richard Wagners Fliegender Holländer am Royal Opera House Covent Garden in London zu erleben. Eine Paraderolle für den walisischen Bassbariton. Um die Seefahrt geht es auch in seinem jüngsten Studioalbum „Sea Songs“, nur deutlich entspannter als auf der Opernbühne. Der begeisterte Sportfischer Bryn Terfel hat mit illustren Gästen in seiner walisischen Heimat in einer umgebauten Kapelle in Pentrych bei Cardiff „salzwassergetränkte Volkslieder“ aufgenommen. Mehr dazu von Ursula Magnes.

durée : 01:00:07 - Lambert Wilson, acteur - par : Priscille Lafitte - Lambert Wilson n'est pas seulement un grand comédien aux multiples visages - il est aussi chanteur de comédie musicale, de chansons, et depuis peu, de cantates de Bach. Son goût pour la voix s'est forgé en écoutant l'art d'Angela Gheorghiu dans Puccini ou celui de Bryn Terfel dans la mélodie. - réalisé par : Claire Lagarde

- Marzy mi się opera napisana z myślą o mnie, współczesna muzyka z moim udziałem. To się dotąd nie zdarzyło. Jestem wielbicielem "Cardillaca" Hindemitha, który doskonale pasowałby do tych wszystkich odmieńców i malkontentów, w których wcielam się zwykle w operach. Czasami wracam myślami do 1989 roku, do konkursu w Cardiff i do mojej wygranej w kategorii pieśni. Muszę się uszczypnąć, żeby uwierzyć, że współpracowałem z Abbado, z Mutim, Soltim, Levinem, Gardinerem, Pappano, Hardingiem, Nelsonsem - mówił w Dwójce Bryn Terfel.

Wigan-born Stephen Alker trained for the Roman Catholic priesthood at St Joseph's College, Upholland in the 1960's. After ordination, and work in a couple of parishes in the Archdiocese of Liverpool, he got the chance to become an Army Chaplain. It was only intended to be a 3-year ministry, but he stayed for nearly 30 years, loved the life and its challenges, and - now in retirement - misses the work still, to this day. On today's programme he talks about just some of his experiences in places of conflict, as his 30 year ministry included time spent in Northern Ireland, Afghanistan, Bosina and Iraq -and more! Plus - there's this week's notice board and music from Katherine Jenkins and Bryn Terfel. News for the notice board can be emailed to judithley@manxradio.com

Un homenaje al bajo barítono galés y sus papeles operísticos y no operísticos icónicos. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/arturo-magaa-duplancher/message

Se han cumplido 25 años de su primer disco, el ya clásico Irmandade das Estrelas - que celebra con nuevo disco junto a Rozalén, Andrés Suárez, Glen Hansard, Iván Ferreiro o Tanxugueiras - , pero Carlos no descansa y sigue ofreciéndonos novedades y colaboraciones con artistas de todos los géneros, desde la ópera a la música antigua, desde el flamenco al trap. Sin ir más lejos, en los últimos meses ha tocado en Coruña como invitado de Baiuca o Pablo Alborán. Desde que sus mentores, los legendarios irlandeses The Chieftains, le transmitiesen su idea de la música celta como abierta y profunda, ha colaborado con artistas tan variados y emblemáticos como Joan Manuel Serrat, Luz Casal, el guitarrista norteamericano Ry Cooder o los flamencos Vicente Amigo y Juan Manuel Cañizares, Roger Hodgson de Supertramp, Mike Scott de los Waterboys, Jackson Browne, los cubanos Omara Portuondo o el fallecido Compay Segundo, los oscarizados Gustavo Santaolalla o Ryuichi Sakamoto, los brasileños Milton Nascimento o Carlinhos Brown, la estrella de la ópera Bryn Terfel, o de la música antigua Jordi Savall, la cantaora Carmen Linares o Enrique Morente, la también desaparecida Montserrat Caballé o incluso su "paisano gallego" Julio Iglesias. Carlos Núñez es un instrumentista excepcional que ha vendido más de 1 millón de discos con Sony y el primero en llevar su instrumento, la gaita, a templos inernacionales de la música como el Musikverein de Viena, el Carnegie Hall de Nueva York, el Boston Symphony Hall, el Royal Albert Hall de Londres, la Sydney Opera House, el Teatro Colón de Buenos Aires, o la Berliner Philharmoniker.

Tom Service talks to Sir Bryn Terfel about an extraordinary life performing at opera houses and concert halls all over the world. He talks about how his career took flight after winning the Lieder Prize at Cardiff Singer of the World in 1989, as well as his partnerships with conductors like Georg Solti and Claudio Abbado and the composer Stephen Sondheim. Bryn Terfel brings drama to the stage through great characters such as Wotan, Scarpia, Sir John Falstaff and Leporello, with music by Wagner, Puccini, Verdi and Mozart. He tells Tom about the importance of being a great storyteller and gives advice on how to deal with the emotional intensity of the drama. Sir Bryn Terfel talks about how it all began, singing folksongs in Wales, and about how we can look forward to hearing him perform in the future as he prepares for The Flying Dutchman by Wagner at Grange Park Opera this summer and a UK tour in the autumn.

Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein ya son viejos conocidos de nuestros podcasts. Hemos repasado sus carreras por separado y ahora les dedicamos un podcast a sus trabajos en equipo. No le fue fácil a Oscar Hammerstein convencer a los productores de la importancia del libreto y de que las canciones estuvieran integradas en la historia. Oscar Hammerstein y Richard Rodgers escribieron nueve musicales para el teatro, además de uno para el cine “State Fair” (1945) y otro para televisión “Cinderella” (1957), que con el tiempo terminaron también subiendo al teatro. Los musicales de Oscar Hammerstein tenían números divertidos y alegres, pero en sus trabajos siempre solía haber una llamada de atención a la sociedad frente al racismo, los malos tratos, una mujer enseñando a todo un rey, etc. El género denominado “comedia musical” a raíz de sus trabajos conectaron con el gran público, en una forma más directa que los comprometidos de Bertold Brecht y Kurt Weill y se perdió el término de “comedia”, abriendo el camino a musicales como “Cabaret” o “West Side Story”, a los que ya se denominarían sencillamente “musical”. 00h 00’00” Presentación 00h 02’17” Cabecera 00h 02’55” 1943 OKLAHOMA Overture 00h 08’15” Oh, what a beautiful mornin’ .

Im Oktober 2021 hatte Benjamin Brittens „Peter Grimes“ im Theater an der Wien großen Erfolg. Gestern nahm die Staatsoper die Christibe Mielitz-Inszenierung aus dem vorigen Jahrhundert (Premiere 12.2.1996) wieder in den Spielplan auf. Von der Oktober-Premiere an der linken Wienzeile war Richard Schmitz begeistert. Wie war es gestern am Ring? Die Inszenierung von Christine Mielitz widmet sich vor allem der Charakterisierung der vielen Figuren, vor allem der des Peter Grimes. Die Kostüme unterstützen das sehr gut. Das Bühnenbild stört nicht. Auch in der Wiener Staatsoper stand daher der Sänger der Titelrolle im Mittelpunkt. Jonas Kaufmann legte den Peter Grimes grundlegend anders an. Da war kein dumpfer Gewaltmensch zu sehen, sondern ein vom Pech verfolgter sentimentaler, im Grunde gutmütiger Fischer, der für seine Heirat Geld scheffeln wollte und in der Dorfgemeinschaft aneckt. Diese Charakterambivalenz erfüllt Jonas Kaufmann mit all seinen künstlerischen Ausdrucksfacetten. Da gibt es herbe Töne, aber auch lyrische Legatobögen, klare Spitzentöne und verhaltenes Piano. Lise Davidsen als Ellen Orford kann da mit ihrer großen, noch ungeschliffenen Stimme nicht ganz mithalten. Wenn sie an der Differenzierung ihres Ausdrucks arbeitet, wird das noch eine der ganz Großen des Sopranfaches. Eine verhuschte Dorfschullehrerin ist sie natürlich nicht. Bryn Terfel als Balstrode zur Verfügung zu haben, ist ein großes Glück. Die unverrückbare Treue dieser Figur wird da deutlich. Auch die anderen Rollen haben bei Christine Mielitz eigene Charakterisierungen, die etwa Thomas Ebenstein als betrunkener Sektierer und Stephanie Houtzeel als kapriziöse, drogensüchtige Sedley voll ausspielen. Auch die anderen, Wolfgang Bankl, Noa Beinart, Ileana Tonca und Aurora Marthens als ungleiches Nichtenpaar, Carlos Osuna geben ihren Rollen ein eigenes Profil. Die Feinheiten des Feministinnenquartetts kommen vor dem Vorhang besonders intensiv zur Geltung. Die Widersprüchlichkeit der Haltung der Dorfbevölkerung wird durch den exzellenten Chor klar zum Ausdruck gebracht. Zurecht wurden auch Simone Young und das Staatsopernorchester am Ende bejubelt. benjamin Brittens Zwischenspiele, die richtige Klangjuwele sind, konnte man ohne Ablenkung genießen. Philharmonische Höhepunkte. Jonas Kaufmann hat seinen Fans bewiesen, dass er auch aus komplexeren Opernrollen menschliche Figuren machen kann. PS: Ich bin froh, dass meine Frau und ich das erleben konnten. Noch am Nachmittag war das gar nicht so sicher. Unsere PCR-Tests sind erst nach 36 Stunden während der Vorstellung eingetroffen. Erfreulicherweise wurde ein aktueller Antigen-Test akzeptiert. Es war ein großer Opernabend, der der Wiener Staatsoper und seinem jubelnden Publikum alle Ehre macht. Wertnote: 9,3/10 Punkten!

The Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square are featured in this merry episode about Christmas in our own backyard. We are local to Salt Lake City and enjoy a wide variety of Christmas culture. This includes the magnificent downtown venue of Temple Square, home to the Salt Lake Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Temple Square is famously decorated for Christmas and features one of the largest Christmas light displays in the world. It also has stunning Nativity displays and art. The several buildings house crowds of all sizes to accommodate performances from local artists and groups. The most famous of these groups is the Tabernacle Choir, who has called Temple Square home since the 1860s. They first performed in the still-standing Tabernacle, for which the Choir is named. In their history of touring and regular concerts no other activity by the Choir is as well known as their annual Christmas concert, which is featured on PBS in a nationally aired broadcast every holiday season. The Christmas concerts by the Tabernacle Choir feature the Orchestra at Temple Square, a hand bell choir, dancers and actors from local companies. Nearly all local performers are volunteers. It is a Choir custom to invite renown guest artists to perform each year. Past performers include Broadway stars Audra McDonald, Kristin Chenoweth, Angela Lansbury, Kelli O'Hara, Santino Fontana and Laura Osnes; R&B singer Gladys Knight; the late jazz singer Natalie Cole; pop singer David Archuleta; legendary newscasters Walter Cronkite and Tom Brokaw; historian David McCullough; the Muppets from “Sesame Street”; actors Jane Seymour, Hugh Bonneville, Richard Thomas, the late Ed Herrmann, John Rhys-Davies, Roma Downey, the late Peter Graves, Claire Bloom, Michael York and Martin Jarvis; opera stars Renée Fleming, Deborah Voigt, Frederica von Stade, Bryn Terfel, Nathan Gunn, Alfie Boe, Sissel, Rolando Villazón and four Metropolitan Opera soloists and the London-based a cappella group, The King's Singers. Collectively, the featured guests have garnered 34 Grammy Awards, 19 Tony Awards, 14 Emmy Awards, 10 Golden Globe Awards, three BAFTA Awards, one Academy Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award and an Olivier Award. These concerts are a massive effort. In this merry episode we speak with Scott Barrick of the Tabernacle Choir about everything that goes into getting these concerts produced. This episode features a healthy dose of Tabernacle Choir music and information about a new two-hour holiday special airing on PBS before Christmas. But that's not all. In this episode we also hear from two other artists performing on Temple Square - Allie Gardner, who with Wade Farr performs a haunting version of O Come O Come Emmanuel. That song is the oldest Christmas carol on record and we tell its fascinating backstory. We also share the incredible version of The First Noel performed last Christmas by Bryson and Tierra Jones, a must-hear tear-jerking arrangement of the classic Christmas song by Jared Pierce.

This week I feature nearly a century's worth of recordings of pop music by singers who also, and in some cases primarily, were great singers of art song. Many of my favorite singers figure into the mix, including Hermann Prey (who was the inspiration for this episode), Grace Bumbry, Helen Donath, Roberta Alexander, Elly Ameling, Peter Schreier, Lotte Lehmann, Gérard Souzay, Brigitte Fassbaender, Bryn Terfel, Richard Tauber, José van Dam, Peter Schreier, Leontyne Price, Donald Gramm, and many, many others. They perform everything from Broadway standards to jazz to Deutsche Schlager to tangos to the Great American Songbook to 80s power ballads. This episode was such a joy to put together and I hope that you will enjoy this cornucopia of vocal and interpretive bounty. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Kalm met Klassiek is jouw dagelijkse dosis klassieke ontspanning. Heimwee, verlangen naar toen, afscheid nemen en loslaten. De podcastserie komt bijna op z'n eind, en daarom neemt Ab deze week muzikaal afscheid van onze dagelijkse momentjes samen. Dat verlangen, dat hoor je terug in het prachtige 'My Little Welsh Home' van William Sidney Gwynn Williams, gezongen door de Welshe bariton Bryn Terfel. Ga er lekker voor zitten, sluit je ogen en waan je op het Welshe platteland.

GRAMMY nominated musician Dr. Martin Taylor, MBE, is a virtuoso guitarist, composer, educator and musical innovator whom Acoustic Guitar magazine calls  ‘THE Acoustic Guitarist of his Generation'. Widely considered to be the world's foremost exponent of solo jazz and fingerstyle guitar playing, Martin possesses an inimitable style that has earned him global acclaim from fellow musicians, fans and critics alike.

CALAN bring together the remarkable talents of 5 young musicians giving a fresh and vibrant sound to traditional Welsh music. With a contemporary and lively approach they breathe new life into the old traditions through their sparkling melodies, foot tapping tunes and spirited and energetic performances of Welsh step dancing. The band began by busking in the streets of Cardiff raising money to pay for university fees. By 2015 they were performing alongside Bryn Terfel and Sting at the Royal Albert Hall in London as part of Bryn Terfel's 50th birthday party. They recently released their 4th studio album 'Solomon'. BEYOND THE PALE has been making its distinctive brand of boundary-busting Eurofolk fusion for 20 years. Inspired by Klezmer and Balkan styles but influenced by everything from jazz and classical music to bluegrass, newgrass and reggae, the band's music traverses a vast and exotic musical landscape, bound by no particular idiom and shaped by many. Their latest release, ‘Ruckus', has received two nominations from the 2017 Canadian Folk Music Awards, increasing the band's career total to seven CFMA nominations, including three wins. WoodSongs Kids: One Fret Over is an award winning youth bluegrass group from the Piedmont, North Carolina area.

But you also get a famous march – “Brian Boru's March” – and a selection from The Father of the Nocturne, the Irishman John Field. Source
