i dont think people understand how difficult this song is. the way it jumps around and goes back and forth thru the break in a baritenors voice, and the vowels?? forget about it. derek is just so good that he can sing the last note on what seems to be a pretty pure "ur" vowel, and I have no clue how he does that
@@gamer5101 Tenor 1 would be up to C5. A4 is high, but still definitely a Baritone/Baritenor top note. I would expect a slightly lighter timbre with a true tenor as well.
Now that we have "Ratatouille, the Musical" we need a version of "Tangled, the new broadway musical" And yeah, we need Derek and Christy as the main characters as well. Pls
I just love how he sounds hurt, but not broken... TThe character is going through some bitter memories, but has some affection with his past, cause it made him who he is...
I never understood how the part of Anya singing with Dimitri never got included in the soundtrack. Like it’s just Dimitri singing it in the soundtrack.
i can't explain this, but they are so russian. i mean they act so good, that i feel them. it seems to me they are of the same nationality as i am (russian). that's precious. they are completely into their roles, cultural and historical context. amazing
@@9206156175 great question, if only i knew the answer 😅 first, the lyrics of course: we all learn Russian history in school lesson, so it is easy to match what he sings with real historical events. Besides, some lines are so strong, for example: "But tonight there's sky and quiet a view". That is literally what half of the Russian classic literature about. The most well-known author, who constitute the cultural heritage of the country, like Turgenev, Tolstoy, Pushkin, Chekhov, Bunin, for example, they all tried to describe that feeling of weird attachment to your homeland, even if you understand the all the government problems or want to leave the country. People who emigrated during the Revolution still missed Russia because of... something. Because they were born there, because they met people in the streets, because they know how the houses or the countryside looks like. That feeling is part of a culture, and the lyrics(es) of the songs in the Musical represent it perfectly for me. What else... gestures maybe. When he explains something, or shows her something - it is quite similar to what I sometimes see every day. The main reason I can come up with, is that their acting cause an association chain in my mind. Like I start to remember historical chronicles or history lessons or the huge amount of literature works of that time. The picture of Saint-Petersburg there: It is one hour from my house, I can go there any time, and my way to university is near there. And there ARE a lot of small shops to buy "stolen souvenirs of Petersburg". Well, not stolen, but it is so easy for me to imagine. And you can't see "piers" from there, but "palaces above and alleyways bellow" are not far from there. I try to say that they act extremely good, they dived into their characters and they play wonderfully. That's why it's easy to remember everything I know and everything I was born and grown up in. Emotional of the character's traumatic situations plus the understanding and the feeling of the whole historical and the cultural things from my side just did it. I felt them as Russians. Hope I answered and it was clear 😅 I tried my best
@@bethy_cuter my family are Russian immigrants in Australia and I also feel that kinship. It's the actions, mannerisms, dances, and how they talk about Russia that really feels like it. Every time I see lily and her solo Russian of yesterday. All I could see was my fathers family. They talk, look and sound the same (excluding accents of course). Especially the scenes with the dancing. I haven't seen my relatives traditionally dancing but I feel it in my damn bones when I see it. And they did and do dance like that I was just too young to go to the parties they had and now I'm old enough I just don't go because I live out of town. They go to the Russian club where they live often. But I onow they did dance. It's also weird hearing lily because I have a relative whose name is the Russian equivalent, Lilia. My brothers middle name is also Nikolai (I onow Nikolaievna is a patronymic). I just give respect for the huge attempts of incorporating Russian culture into this play. I'll say again. The most pure Russianesque song is Russia of Yesterday. (Rumour in saint petersberg though good now makes me feel sad since I also had relatives who would have been known of by living relatives who were shot by the soviets or arrested and killed on Stalin's orders.)
His voice is everything in this broadway hit. It really fits for the role of Dmitri! Very deep and strong and soft and hopeful. Currently this is the track im blasting off in my car as I drive to work. It has a Disney feel to it! Gah I love broadway musicals! It makes you feel all sorts of emotion and its fun watching something come alive in front of you!
When I saw Anastasia touring the one part of this song that has harmony embedded itself in my brain and then I sang along with the harmony while in the car with my sister and she thought I had made it up since it’s not in the track and I was so confused thinking I had misremembered something so I’m glad to find a recording, that harmony has my entire heart
I listened to the soundtrack for the first time today. The sign became an Insta-fav. Played this song on repeat after the soundtrack was done. Kept picturing animated Dimitri showing Anya St. Petersburg from a roof of his old hideout.
I feel that even if more actors come to play the role of Dimitri and Anya, none of them are going to live up to Derek and Christy. I feel that they took ownership of their character so well that i find it very dificult for anyone to surpass their interpretations.
I love this song so so much! my schools doing anastasia this year for our musical and I love it! Derek has so so much talent, thanks for a great show! (btw did anyone notice he scared her in the beginning lol)
Siento que por mas que lleguen mas actores a interpretar a Dimitri y a Anya siento que ninguno le va a llegar a los pies a Derek y a Christy ambos se adueñaron de su papel haciendolo suyo y nadie le va a poder llegar a estas actuaciones o al menos lo veo dificil
My school is doing this show next year and I WANT DMITRI SO BAD but we live in the rural Midwest so idk how people would feel about two girls falling in love. BUT IVE GOT THE RANGE, I CAN PLAY HIM
@@pixam345 nah, got Anya which is super exciting, but like… my predictions were correct. They liked my audition and gave me a callback. I got really good feedback… but they didn’t want to upset people so they cast a man instead
the amount that i love this mans voice is unhealthy.
wait i was here a week ago wtf
I misread that as something about his voice being unhealthy at first and just had a second of eXcUSe mE??
The amount that I love this man is unhealthy. But sadly he’s married
i stay coming back
@@tessbessette5365 It's time to come back once again

good thing Derek is a tenor hehe
If this is baritenor to you then what do you consider a tenor? Lmao

@@Goggalor1990he’s a tenor
@@Orholam5 Bari tenor. Like Adam Kantor, Norbert Leo Bith and Steven Pasquelle
Derek as flynn rider pls.. And christy as Rapunzel!
Myk Magno Vlogs i agree!
Omg Yeeeeeeeaaaasssss !
Yazzzz
Now that we have "Ratatouille, the Musical" we need a version of "Tangled, the new broadway musical"
And yeah, we need Derek and Christy as the main characters as well. Pls
YESS
Is it bad how much I LOVE Derek freaking klena
Rebacky Hooman everyone says that
When I saw the show he looked at Anya looking at the city during the line "and quite a view"
That’s adorable
AWWWWW
This is the most broadway song in the god damn Broadway except defying gravity
watch more
Listen to Old Red Hills Of Home.
what do you think makes it so broadway
And Santa Fe
This song made me think of Dear Evan Hansen and Defying Gravity
I just love how he sounds hurt, but not broken... TThe character is going through some bitter memories, but has some affection with his past, cause it made him who he is...

Emily D. New musicals have changes all the time, like the Adams Family musical is almost completely different from the original cast recording!
not to mention how pretty her harmony is omg
Same!! I always sing it with him :) Lol
Chandler J Me too!!!
I think cause this song is supposed to be Dimitri's
The only performer I can see as Dimitri tbh
The Dutch version is also pretty good
I can see Ryan mccartan as dimitri too if he ever would play the role
@@carolineschmid6887 eh idk I’ve only heard about him through Disney/Dove Cameron but he doesn’t really fit the vibe of Dimitri imo
@@gee2541 watch him sing Freeze Your Brain as JD and you'll see what they're talking about
He actually performed this song, it was pretty good.
And he can definitely play these kind of characters
This is like the male equivalent of "The Wizard and I"
I'm happy that he's happily married, but sometimes I think "why can’t it be me?"😂
Piper McLean all of us are thinking the same thing
Piper McLean Same sister !!
Like literally every character he plays I'm in love with and I've realized it's literally just because Derek Klena is playing them
true
I think it's sweet that he married his college sweetheart. 🎓 And they recently announced that they're expecting their first baby in the fall. 👶
i can't explain this, but they are so russian. i mean they act so good, that i feel them. it seems to me they are of the same nationality as i am (russian). that's precious. they are completely into their roles, cultural and historical context. amazing
I'm really curious now if you can put a finger on what makes them seem Russian. I agree as an outsider but what specifically makes you feel a kinship?

sandyespinoza35 eeeeek
He did! And I had to catch my breath 'cause I wasn’t ready for it even though I saw your comment like ten seconds before😂
Was that a low key threat to whoever was recording?
i feel like performers do that a lot and it scares me so much lol
One year later but here I am, I watched another recording where the angle is on the left and he looked at the camera all the same!
Derek you are a freaking angel!
I'm so happy that this isn't the first musical they've worked together in, they're such a perfect pair
I may or may not have a Spotify playlist of this song 42 times called “I don’t have a problem what are you talking about”.
I would like that playlist😂😭
And how do you have multiple of the same song in one playlisttt

Lol
he looks at it when he says “give up”

**eargasm**
I sort of imagined that when Dima sang "quite a view," he'd be looking at Anya.
I miss this production so much!!!!!
2:33 absolutely beautiful

Came back here to cleanse my soul after watching cody simpson as dimitri 😌🤚🏽
God he is a treasure
This has to be my fave song in the musical
God I'm so excited for Derek to play Christian
It's been 2 months omg please keep at it
I love him SO MUCH and I'm so glad I got to see him in Moulin Rouge this summer!!! XD
Love this!
Their harmony ♥
Quite interesting, I'm pretty sure he uses a fair bit more vib in this than on the cast recording, especially on the "Petersburg"s
What a legend!
Derek Klena ❤😍😍😍😍
That is so cool!
1:46 I’m just leaving this here because it gives me 🦋
Anyone else think Kyle Selig would be a great Dmitry
Omg yes
This is like a mans DEFYING GRAVITY
I think I saw him look right into the camera 😮
Unreal
Baritenors unite under this man’s roles
I think I broke the replay button...
i love that he was staring at the camera 3 different times it’s hilarious

It's a little hard with the urg sound but, pretty much me and every other tenor can do that.

unnecessary
Copyright?
Lol I'm trying for Dimitri, but this is a lot to love up to
Por cierto. Si te paso mi email, me mandarías el link de donde lo descargaste?
