    Pleasant voice, quite well pronunciation as for non-native speaker and expression is also high. Thank you for this video, my friend, I hope you'll make more recordings of Rachmaninoff`s romances.

    I graduated a few years ago from my music school, also a bass such as yourself. Because of life circumstances and graduate school (totally unrelated program), I don't spend much time in growing my voice. Your voice is like molasses. It's rich and thick. My voice teacher at the time, would always remind me to think "I am a thespian, and I have a story to tell." More a mental and warmup exercise to move me from a mellow demeanor to one that is ready to depict the story through music. This really inspires me to get back into growing my voice.

    У врат обители святой
    Стоял просящий подаянья
    Бессильный, бледный и худой
    От глада, жажды и страданья.
    Куска лишь хлеба он просил,
    И взор являл живую муку,
    И кто-то камень положил
    В его протянутую руку.
    Так я молил твоей любви
    С слезами горькими, с тоскою;
    Так чувства лучшие мои
    Навек обмануты тобою.

    • @jlhopkin

      Miles Graber is indeed an absolutely phenomenal pianist. I was honored to work with him. It is hard for foreigners to truly understand Russian music, though it resonates with me and with many others on such a deep emotional level. Paul Robeson, a great Afro-American bass, sang a great deal of Russian music and was warmly embraced by Russian audiences. He found that there is a similarity in the soul of Russian music and Afro-American spiritual music. I agree. I hope that I was able to capture at least some of the Russian soul in the performance.

      There's not a whole a lot of repertoire out there for bass voices unfortunately. But I have a friend with a similar bass range to yours, and he would transpose baritone repertoire down a 2 or 3 steps depending on the piece of music

      @krikionis8330 4 года назад

      @San Cieslak Thank you. They consider you bass by your speaking voice or singing? Is it possible to clearly determine who is or not bass-baritone from their undeveloped (not enough singing) voice or even just by their speaking voice?

    • @boundary2580
      @boundary2580 3 года назад

      @@krikionis8330 it only really becomes clear as a voice grows and develops. A bass-baritone, or basso-cantate as they used to be called, is a voice that sits between the basso profundo and the dramatic baritone in the fach system. Essentially it is a bass that can sing higher repertoire comfortably, something which a profouno would struggle with. It’s super confusing most of the time and really has to do with where you are comfortable singing. Do you have a deep, dark voice but struggle to project below a low F or E? Do you have the ability to take that dark voice above a high F without shouting? Then you are probably a bass-baritone. A basso-profundo can sing about the same low range as a bass-baritone (down to a low C and a little lower) but can maintain a massive, cavernous sound all the way down to that low C. I am rather young (18) and am a year into classical training and posses a voice closer to that of a dramatic baritone. I still can sing down to a low D and C sometimes, but it is not where I am comfortable nor where I sound the best.

      Justin Hopkins
      Justin , senti come canta George London , anche lui era basso baritono proprio come te ...
      per questo repertorio ci vuole la preparazione vocale seria ...
      ragazzo , se ho capito bene tu pretendi d'essere un basso baritono vero ?...
      allora dimmi per favore per quale ragione artistica non sai come servirti della voce di petto ?! ...
      sei giovanissimo , adesso è il momento di riflettere e lavorare duro sull'impostazione e la vocalità ...
      ragazzo, dici al tuo maestro di insegnarti come appoggiare la tua voce giovane sul petto !
      e parla anche con lui del punto di riferimento ! ...
      il vecchio , ciao .
      ps.
      la pronuncia - purtroppo non si capisce niente quando canti questo repertorio .
      di più stai commettendo un errore enorme cioè stai esagerando con le consonanti,la troppa ''articolazione'' uccide la bellezza della tua voce giovane così importante per interpretare bene Rachmaninov .
      il repertorio russo si deve interpretare con una posizione nella tua voce giovanissima molto più alta di quella con la quale tu devi interpretare il repertorio italiano per esempio .
      per farti capire la gravita della situazione quando canti in russo devi immaginarti che stai cantando il repertorio rossiniano cercando lo squillo nella voce e appoggiandoti sulla voce di petto .../il suo colore/
      se non mi capisci dici al tuo maestro di insegnarti di interpretare il repertorio russo all'italiana .
      è ovvio che tu della lingua russa non capisci neanche una parola visto come stai ''interpretando'' la meravigliosa musica di Rachmaninov ...
      carissimo giovane amico,purtroppo anche tu devi rispettare le regole d'interpretazione strettamente allegate con questo repertorio ...
      la regola numero uno per ogni cantante giovane e' di conoscere la lingua del compositore di quale sta interpretando il repertorio .
      cordialità
      il vecchio
