Yi-Kwei Sze was a fine singer and one of our great artists. Here he displays some of his most sensitive singing of one of the great lieder cycles. I heard him live on several occasions and remember what a powerful and commanding presence he was on the stage. Bless his memory.
I have always marveled at Asian singers such as Yi-Kwei Sze, who sing Western vocal music so superbly, despite the enormous differences between Asian and Western speech and vocal production.
A fine artist with an exceptional voice -- rich, vibrant and flexible. One of the first Asians to become an outstanding singer of Western classical music.
Wow! I'm glad youtube suggested this. I've never heard of him. Such clarity in a deep bass voice!
