I've never heard it sung like this. Never. Cantabile. Molto espressivo. With such heart. So genuine. No sense of performance. You were the words and the music. Your phrasing, your breathing. Virtuosity without any showiness. None. Full voice but exquisitely intimate. As though you were singing to each listener. You sang this in 2013? It's 2019. I have to see what's happened to you. Your accompanist was wonderful. I would like to have played it instead. Thank you. You have a great gift.
The most heart felt performance of all of those I've found on youtube so far. I shall follow your lead in studying this song. Thank you for sharing it, JAcqueline. It's gorgeous.
Sure on this shining night Of star made shadows round, Kindness must watch for me This side the ground. The late year lies down the north. All is healed, all is health. High summer holds the earth. Hearts all whole. Sure on this shining night I weep for wonder wand'ring far alone Of shadows on the stars.
I love their performance of this piece better than any I've heard. Such heartfelt expression and rich mezzo tone! Where are you now, Jacqueline Bolier?
Beautiful song! Barber creates an atmosphere through the plaintive melody and harmonies very American . Has a soaring quality extremely expressive. Similar to his treatment in Knoxville.
In 2022: “Soprano Jacqueline Bolier has sung in venues and festivals across the country, including the Kennedy Center, Alice Tully Hall, New York City’s Merkin Hall, and with the Portland Symphony, New World Symphony and at the Lakes Area Music Festival. She was a featured soloist for the 40th Annual Kennedy Center Honors, appearing alongside Meryl Streep and Misty Copeland to honor Carmen de Lavallade. During the Covid-19 pandemic, she recorded new works by Georgia Shreve, including the title role of Lavinia. Additional recordings include Miss Julie (Albany Records). Bolier gives back to her community through the Turnaround Arts Institute, a program of the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities. Past awards include prizes from the Licia Albanese Foundation, and the Art Song Preservation Society. She received additional training at the Music Academy of the West and is a graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music.” April 2022: Steven Mercurio conducts April world premiere of"Courageous Women Of Antiquity"at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center, Multi-media, semi-staged concert features two new works by composer Georgia Shreve with soloists: soprano Wendy Bryn Harmer, tenor Richard Troxell, bass Matthew Anchel, baritone Ben Edquist, mezzo-soprano Sofia Selowsky, tenor Alexander McKissick, mezzo-soprano Jacqueline Bolier, and soprano Larisa Martinez
Excellent technique and bearing. Beautifully expressed -- you breathe life into the music and text but you don't overlay it -- i.e., you don't gild the lily. Bet it sounded all the more spectacular live in the hall. Glad I stumbled across this. Congrats and thanks.
Wow! MAJOR voice!! And technically and vocally very solid and secure. The artistry and subtle textual insights don't yet match the phenomenal instrument, hopefully they will come with maturity and experience.
This is a recital piece of mine from 30 years ago. Hearing your performance stirred me to my soul and brought back so many memories. The texture of you voice, the emotions the interpretation of the lyric stirs within the listener reach a new level. What are you doing now? Where do you perform?
While I do think this is really high quality singing, she sounds like she's intentionally darkening her sound to achieve that "Fleming-esque" sound. I would like to hear her sing with less of that forced production. I think it's also causing her diction to be muddled. For example, @0:52 "All is healed" is so open that her diction suffers, in my opinion. All that being said, this is one of my favorite versions of this piece on RUclips! Definitely will be checking out more of her stuff!
Sure on this shining night Of star made shadows round, Kindness must watch for me This side the ground. The late year lies down the north. All is healed, All is health. High summer holds the earth. Hearts all whole. Sure on this shining night I weep for wonder wand'ring far alone Of shadows on the stars.
You are extraordinary! What a stunning voice! WOW
Coming from the queen 👑 I’m humbled ❤️
I concur

her voice is simply beautiful. Trying hard to get where she is someday
What a gorgeous, rich voice and beautiful collaboration.
Incredible! I love this performance and this piece! You brought tears to my eyes!
The most heart felt performance of all of those I've found on youtube so far. I shall follow your lead in studying this song. Thank you for sharing it, JAcqueline. It's gorgeous.

Your ability to convey what it "means" is wonderful. Your pianist was also excellent.
I love this presentation. So beautiful...and you have a passionate piano player too! Very nice.
Gorgeous voice
Absolutely beautiful, rich voice
I love their performance of this piece better than any I've heard. Such heartfelt expression and rich mezzo tone! Where are you now, Jacqueline Bolier?
I agree. She captures the pathos and her singing is so even
Oh my god, this was absolutely ethereal. ❤️
Very strong upper and lower range. You have great technique. Beautiful!!!
Love it! So rich! You made me fall in love with this piece! So haunting and a perfect depiction.
such a beautiful voice, and expressive interpretation!
Exquisite!
For those who think US is only rap… we need more of this in US thought. Beautiful, music and performance.
Exceptional, exquisite! How many times have i returned to this video to hear Jacqueline Bolier?
Exquisite! Warm, deep...haunting.
Thank you so much for sharing your rich and luscious voice with us. This is the best version of this piece I have so far found on RUclips.
Beautiful song! Barber creates an atmosphere through the plaintive melody and
harmonies very American . Has a soaring quality extremely expressive. Similar to his treatment in Knoxville.
Very expressive, warm timbre and excellent phrasing. Lovely! (Pianist was good too.)
Absolutely gorgeous. Thank you!
Today is March 11, 2022. Thank you.

Beautiful in voice and interpretation nothing more to be said

That's what we told her 20 years ago. Was that right?

goosebumps ✨✨✨✨
I have chills!!!
This was awesome! Great expression
Wow! Lovely!
beautiful!
yes!! Beautiful!!
Que hermosa!

Beautiful singing! Really liked it!
Beautiful. Brava!
Wow- this is gorgeous & your voice is so moving! Thank you!
Who is your voice teacher?!
And where are you?? This really inspires me.
LOVELT LOVELY LOVELY! The attacks of the phrases are PERFECT. You are NOT a soprano. Do NOT let people tell you otherwise.
Wow! MAJOR voice!! And technically and vocally very solid and secure. The artistry and subtle textual insights don't yet match the phenomenal instrument, hopefully they will come with maturity and experience.
BRAVI !!!!!!
Sounds very much like renee fleming? You sound like a soprano to me!
This is a recital piece of mine from 30 years ago. Hearing your performance stirred me to my soul and brought back so many memories. The texture of you voice, the emotions the interpretation of the lyric stirs within the listener reach a new level. What are you doing now? Where do you perform?
wow
Gorgeous!!! I sang this for years, back in the day. Is this original key?
G major is the original key! This is B flat major
Gorge!
I am a shadow
crazy similar to Renee Fleming.
09honest better than Renee Fleming
this is exactly what i was thinking
"Crazy similar" is not proper phrasing.
While I do think this is really high quality singing, she sounds like she's intentionally darkening her sound to achieve that "Fleming-esque" sound.
I would like to hear her sing with less of that forced production. I think it's also causing her diction to be muddled. For example, @0:52 "All is healed" is so open that her diction suffers, in my opinion.
All that being said, this is one of my favorite versions of this piece on RUclips! Definitely will be checking out more of her stuff!
Wish I had more line. Good tone needs more crisp on words
A vocal timbre quite similar to Renee Fleming ...
Sure on this shining night
Of star made shadows round,
Kindness must watch for me
This side the ground.
The late year lies down the north.
All is healed,
All is health.
High summer holds the earth.
Hearts all whole.
Sure on this shining night
I weep for wonder
wand'ring far alone
Of shadows on the
stars.
