Mozarteum Masterclass Grace Bumbry

Grace Bumbry gives a masterclass at Salzburg's Mozarteum. A dear friend sent this clip to me roughly 14 years ago. Unfortunately, I don't have the date of this class, but these are highlights from the masterclass. This masterclass clip is an extract from a broader documentary on Bumbry. She sings a bit from Signore ascolta from Turandot, Laura's arietta from La Gioconda, and Suicidio (from the ...

Amazing Grace in every sense of the word and greatly missed.
영상 감사합니다. 그레이스 선생님도 감사합니다.
Vocal honors have to be given to Quivar here. Domingo, as always, sounds as if he is singing by the seat of his pants with someone's hands around his throat. Cheek does a fine job. And, Price. Well, this is too late into her "I was a slave, see this chip on my shoulder, running through the jungle yahoo black-isms"; she is dreadful often. And, btw, white people have slave ancestors, too; blacks do not own that even a tiny bit. Price had been a good musician with a miracle sound. Thanks for this recording here.
Nonsense. Your comment exemplifies the kind of ugliness that she refused to recognize - fortunately for the rest of us. (“It’s their problem, not mine,” she’d say.) BTW, I’ve read just about every interview she ever gave and she never said a single word about her “slave history” or made any special pleading for black singers. On the contrary, she was an outspoken critic of color consciousness or race categorizing of singers.
You are a nut case 😂
What an appalling comment.
This is a very difficult aria, and no one sings it perfectly from beginning to end. Having said that, this is quite a very, very good performance/rendition/interpretation of this Verdi favorite. Wonderful in many ways.
What is the second aria that she is singing
Laura’s aria from ‘Gioconda’.
@@ransomcoates546 Thanks
😍😍😍
great performance! but I don't like Price's portamento.
Do you mean her phrasing in general or aparticular phrase? 51:29-51:40 (ending in a textbook downward portamento) is a bit of molten gold falling from heaven.
An ordinary soprano. She ad NO PEERS as a Mezzo!
I have always thought that the Verdi Requiem was Leontyne Price's best role. Her early recording with Fritz Reiner conducting is magnificent and unsurpassed. But then again, the other recordings of the work are magnificent.
❤❤❤😊😊😊❤❤❤
She an Tina Turner were both in the Sumner high school in St. Louis at the same time!
DIVA!!!! DIVINA!!!!DIVINISSIMA!!!!!
Stunning
I heard Ms. Bumbry in a production of Tosca years ago. She was glorious.
Thank you so much!
I am enjoying Libera me ( 1:06:34 ) as I write; so powerful, so inspiring. This collection definitely has to be among my souvenirs...
Is not complet?????
オーケストラはどこ？
It is the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Chorus. I wasn't sure about that until Maestro Cheek said so. Sometimes, Levine conducted the American Symphony Orchestra. I'll update it when I can.
@@courtneybaritone0136 多分、MET orchestraだとは思ったが、念の為、尋ねました。
❤❤❤❤❤❤
beautiful voice. i didn't know that billy joel was a conductor as well as the piano man!
Madam Quivar is superb and such a rare and beautiful vocal instrument she has cultivated over her career. Lovely! Thank you for sharing.
I agree hundred percent...
I had no idea of this Requiem recording so late in Price's career! She is in absolutely fine voice! Bravissima! And how wonderful to have the added joy of Quivar's gloriously rich mezzo! Plus Domingo and Cheek! An embarrassment of riches, indeed! Thank you! Happy Birthday Leontyne Price!
Thank you for the post. I loaned mine out and it was never returned. Lovely to revisit the moment.
Thank you so much for this, I thought Madame Price retired the requiem in 1977 or so.
She also sang it in London in 1980.
Price is just astonishing. So secure and such a beautiful voice. Levine seems to be not connected to the material, at least not to the spiritual side of it. Tempos are rushed at key moments throughout when the text cries out for space and pacing. Domingo and Quivar are the strongest tenor and mezzo one could wish for. Cheek is a fine singer, but I seriously doubt that he was the original choice for the bass. Does anyone know?
Yes I was
I’ve been searching for this for years, thank so much. What a wonderful cast, and Leontyne sails through these Verdi lines, like he wrote this for her! Brava
❤
This was recorded in house and was a memorial concert for Francis Robinson. It has been available on the Met on demand and on Sirius
Bravo Sir! 👏🏾
I truly need to purchase this into my collections. To me this has the best Libera me I ever heard.
Any stories about Leontyne from this performance, Maestro Cheek? (BTW, more than 40 years later, I am still thrilled by your singing of the Frate’s aria in Don Carlo from 1980 or 81? THE best! It’s amazing how firmly and vividly great singing lodges in the memory!)
Nothing except how glorious she was. It was a tremendous privilege to stand beside her. Thank you for your compliments
Bravo!
Thank you courtneybaritone01! I'm enjoying this and it is a great performance, excepting Levine's conducting. Surprisingly, he seems unable to find the grandeur and mystery in the music. Everything seems rushed, spastic and too fast, lacking the needed breathing room; kind of like guzzling a fine vintage in stead of sipping, drinking and savoring the pleasures. Leontyne is magnificent and is in commanding voice. One question I have. Is this a pirate recorded in from the audience or was it from the broadcast? Sounds in-house to my ears. Thanks.
I do believe it is an in-house recording, though I do believe it was also broadcast during the pandemic. I could be wrong about that. It may have been another requiem cast.
The perfect birthday present to all of us-thank you!
Thank you very much!
You are the best for uploading this today!
Thank you for sharing this recording. I have heard bits and pieces of it but not in its entirety. Price of course, is singing with much beauty, passion and abandonment. Love hearing Quivar here as well!! What a glorious voice!!
Incredible vocal extension! She reaches levels that only Renata Tebaldi had
lovely pianissimo
Another voice from a long forgotten art! Simple awesome
Abgesehen von imposanter Stimme und Musikalität, so ein perfekter Umgang mit dem Registerwechsel ist in diesem Fach sehr selten!!!!
"If you sing it properly at Gate Number One..." What a fabulous teacher! (Then out of nowhere, she just breaks into German. Ausgezeichnet!) This is delightful.
Magnificent!
MILANOV foi melhor a melhor Leonora !!!!
I know her and Martina were cutting up backstage....great friends!!!
Funny you should say that. At the very beginning when they walk out they are laughing.
HA! I was thinking the same thing!
Did Bumbry ever sing the soprano line in the Requiem?
This is a good question, one that I unfortunately do not have the answer to. I do not believe she did.
Surprising! I'm sure she would have excelled...I'm one of the few who prefers her in many soprano roles!
@SandyduSoleil I tend to agree! The Bumbry switch is an entire conversation, and actually was the subject of a thesis paper I planned to write during graduate school, but I ultimately changed my mind. Throughout the 1970s, her soprano work was exemplary. Her sweet spot was 1972-1978 with 1975 being an outstanding vocal year for her.
@courtneybaritone0136 I do hope you'll share your extensive notes in the future! Perhaps she didn't have the ease of other sopranos above Bb but her Cs were there and superlative! Apart from some very early Verdi, Desdemona, Elisabetta, Minnie and Manon Lescaut, she sang the same répertoire as Dimitrova. Plus Jenufa, Salome, Medea...
First and foremost thank you for blessing us with this wonderful gift ❤. Wasn’t she an amazing Singer? WAW WAW WAW. BRAVA BRAVA❤
Thank you for posting this! I adore Maestra Bumbry. This also might be the first time I have seen the requiem soloists not dressed in black.
Casals Festival 1972, San Juan PR. They had 2 performances in order to accommodate the expected demand ( Arroyo, Bumbry, Domingo, Díaz; Mehta) For the other performance Maestra Bumbry also looked majestic as she always did. In those days we didn’t have the same access to photos but later on I realized that she wore the same dress she did for Rudolf Bing’s farewell gala. It was not black either! Maestra Bumbry was beauty and glamour personified. RIP.
Yes!!!!❤
The only thing more glorious than the bodice of her gown is her singing. Diva. ❤
Okay, she demonstrates a pianissimo high B flat out of nowhere without being warmed up-and not even in her repertoire. There’s a lot to be said about just having a world class voice!❤
Dykcja. To się rzuca na pierwszy plan.
Oh God Yes!!!❤
I always preferred as a mezzo. She is unsurpassable.
Agree. Arroyo was unsurpassable in this performance as well. Yes, I know about Caballè and Price but Arroyo had the ideal “ Verdian” soprano sound.
Of course her voice was a natural mezzo and in these roles she excelled. However I have to say I saw/heard her as Tosca in London and was amazed how great she was. Remarkable artist greatly missed we simply don’t have anyone today as exciting as those greats from the past.
@@belengenicio8606difiero. Era muy elegante. “ Para gusto se hicieron los colores “
@@belengenicio8606 entiendo su punto y yo tampoco sè. Quizás la óptica femenina y masculina no sean las mismas. Solo se que estuve en esa función y Miss Bumbry parecía y cantó como una diosa. EPD.
Gracias. Voy a borrar mis comentarios. Quizá no son necesarios ni adecuados.
Are there other masterclasses from Salzburg ? This one is in the Oktogon- I remember well . Myself I have some recordings from the masterclass I sung with Prof. Richard Miller in the Liedertafel the old Mozarteum. I will try to make some copies in digital for Internet. It is very interesting!
This is the only class I have access to. The other masterclass I have of Bumbry was at the Juilliard School in NYC in 2003. It was not nearly as interesting as this one, though, which is why I've never posted it.
@@courtneybaritone0136 I hope that one day students from her will put some videos from Mozarteum with Jonathan in you tube. It was a great time. I was in the first Masterclass she gived 1987 with Jonathan and all years later.
Please, post it!!!!
