I do believe this is what is what Henry Purcell would have heard in his day. It's an 'acting' voice, a mix of raw chest voice with falsetto, switching between the two when required. Also a great characterful face!
Yes it's very interesting and affecting, I have heard Andras Scholl sing this in pure countertenor which is very beautiful, but this approach is very striking and emotional.
Except for the original sheet music as written is sung an octave lower. It was Klaus Nomi that popularised the counter tenor interpretation of this piece, but it's supposed to be sung by a bass.

I am sorry, that I hear Gerald Lesne for the first time in my life. Absolutely stunning performance. I am touched into deepest❤
Why is he seating ?
@@teekey1754
Performance?
Standing up is better for "performance" when singing, especially classical music, and the whole scene doesn't look like it needs a "performer". @@weiterimtext8134
Likewise... I've only recently discovered Gerald. Incredible artist. We have lots to catch up on ! ❤
@@teekey1754 Because he sings in falsetto (counter-tenor), he doesn't have to stand.
Merci pour votre musique, extraordinairement exécutée et sentie. C’était une merveille.
Never have I heard such an intense and deep interpretation, the singer's sensitivity to the nuances in emotions, the ensemble with such pure and resonant sound! It's incredible!
Agreed! Klaus Nomi is also right up there in delivering an intense and beautiful rendition :)
Robert, that was exactly what I wanted to write. With this one finally there is one en par with Klaus Nomi.

Agreed!@@markusgasser3884
Your video is the only one that accurately expresses the heartbreaking emotions of the song's lyrics, “I'm cold,” “I don't want to wake up,” and “I want to die”. Most excellent.
Emotie
Le meilleur fausset/falsettiste ("contre" diront nos contemporains - contra tenor altus) : le passage (le saint Graal) est une merveille, il ne détimbre pas entre tête et poitrine !! Sa discographie (Virgin Classique) est extra et est à l'origine de mes plus belles émotions musicales
Sa voix de poitrine n’est vraiment pas bien produite. On n’ecoute apeine le premieres notes en voix de tete. Je pense qu’on n’a pas de bons chanteurs aujourd’hui mais vous trouverez très jolies executions de cette air avec les voix des chanteurs du passé.
@@ferminsalaberri : on ne va pas être d'accord du tout, ce qui n'est pas bien grave ! :)
Спасибо вам!
@@ferminsalaberrithe reason you think there are no good singers today is because you keep increasing and imposing your own demands on what constitutes a good singer, replacing the human and unique aspect of them and turning them into little more than an object to be used in your own mind. There are plentiful good and great singers all over the world, regardless and irrespective of your idealisms.
@@downfromkentuckeh i do wonder if you would apply the same reasoning to any other profesión such a mechanic, a doctor or an architect. Im trying to Talk about the Craft not about our personal preference which i totally understand.
This man looks 70. I hadn't imagined you could sing like that at that age. Mind blowing
@@LOKEY-Giant_Atomлучше тогда стул хокер. А то композиционно не пропорционально с камерным оркестром
Самое приятное на мой вкус исполнение. И оркестр очень красиво играет

Yes, one can…
In this sea of mediocrity and squalor that is RUclips, every now and then you come across some precious pearls
In this place also you Bach that not bad at all
Also chilling in the back of his Vocals is amazing me to bear witness to.
As a backwoods hillbilly, secretly a voracious consumer of art, beauty and music, and when it can be found, a delicious stew of all 3, I was warmed by this. It's 9 degrees in my house and there is ice on my windows inside. I'm quite comfortable under my quilts as I seek the glowing embers that kindle inner warmth such as this. Would enjoy him singing Arvo Parts heart in the Highlands.
Sounds nice.
Only in America will a person feel the need to be a “secret” consumer of art.
only in the mind of the beholder. @@perseus9428
Great comment, thank you! What els have you stumbled upon in RUclips that combines such art, beauty and music?

Greetings from the Netherlands!
Je ne parle pas un mot de français et j'ai dû faire appel à un traducteur pour laisser cette critique, juste pour dire que c'est probablement la meilleure interprétation de cette pièce que j'ai trouvée. Sérieusement, personne d'autre n'a communiqué la froideur et le désespoir dans la voix de la poésie aussi bien que cet homme l'a fait pour moi ; cela m'a ému le cœur de presque ressentir la douleur de l'homme mourant et gelé dans les paroles de la pièce. Un grand, grand, grand bravo !
si, il y a Klaus Nomi
Toutà fait d’accord avec @avocadonabura ! This is one of the most beautiful versions I’ve ever heard ( and seen)…
@@unkobold Are you serious ??
Да, неплохо, но попробуйте в исполнении David Greco, австралийского оперного певца.
@@lelya_doll Я послушал ! Это хорошо, но не очень! меньше эмоций ! Иначе как россиянину еще иметь доступ к RUclips ?? Россия все еще является частью этого мира ? LOL !
Und in der Dunkelheit des Schlusses verweile ich im Schweigen, berührt von diesem Gesamtkunstwerk. Der Abend ist schön geworden dadurch.
Глубокое, проникновенное исполнение. Нет игры голосом, только трагедия и страдание. Очень хорошо.
A man of his distinguished age brings an entirely new level of conviction to performance.
💯
Une merveille absolue!
Now a day without hearing Gérard's voice is a day wasted... How could I live for the last 20 years without it?
Eigentlich höre ich keine klassische Musik und bin zufällig durch den Film „ The father“ darauf aufmerksam geworden. dieses Stück hat mich von der ersten Sekunde an fasziniert und in seinen Bann gezogen 🙏danke
My goodness!!! Only a real talent can combine maturity and youthful flexibility in such a dramatic way... painfully dramatic! Bravo!
Bravo!!!
I can feel the genius' fatigue. One of the most beautiful interpretations of the cold song ever heard!
Gerard Lesne deja sin aliento. Qué interpretación más bella. Aliento divino en las notas de Purcell y en la voz de este cantante extraordinario. Gracias por tanta belleza.
Заворожил ! Пением ,выражением лица. Я перенеслась в другое время и страдала вместе с исполнителем ...Браво
Holy hell, I'm suddenly feeling emotions I wasn't even aware existed. If this isn't what true. genuine musical experience is about, I don't know what is!
Stessa cosa per me. Ho pianto e mi sono sentito sollevare in cielo. Ero in estasi e in disperazione allo stessa tempo. È come se volessi morire per vivere. Dio
Thanks! I was sent here by the Music Professor channel.
Sublime . Subtilité des nuances de la voix . intelligence d'interprétation étonnante tout en restant dans la sobriété.
A brilliant interpretation, intense, without pretentious effects. In my opinion one of the best recordings of this piece that I have heard so far.
(and excellently recorded ensemble!)
That piano … !!! And the violinists pure perfection
Spectacular.
Es gibt wenige Stücke die mich so berühren...
Danke für die wunderbare Interpretation...
Eine Stimme die in das Mark erfasst.
Danke 🙏.
BRAVOS MONSIEUR
JE N AI JAMAIS ENTENDU UNE SI BELLE INTERPRETATION
I have never heard this before. Purcell was a genius. What a performance! His harmonic progressions are astounding. and rather like those in Vivaldi's Four Seasons 'Winter'?:-)
Most probably the opposite as Purcell was earlier than Vivaldi.
@@TonyBittner-Collins Thanks. was lazy and didn't check. I shouldhave known anyway. Best wishes. :-(
wow. yes - Vivaldi's Winter surely must be inspired by this -
C'est un rêve! Un grand merci à ces musiciens fantastiques 🌹
Les mots , nos pauvres mots pour dire que votre interprétation est magnifique.Merci
The best.
Una joya vigente y viviente.
Maravilloso Lesne.
Потрясающе!
Какой драматизм и интерпретация! Благодарю!
Incredible performance. Thank you so much for this.
And that is REAL countertenor singing. Thank you.
Le grand Gérard Lesne !
In both Purcell's compositional gymnastics and the athletic performance by Gérard Lesne here lend incredible muscle and blistering intelligence to an unassuming melodic structure, empowered otherwise only by the harmonic crescendo.
I love this accomplishment and salute the musicians! Fantastic recording that I will save and savor for the future.
«What Power art thou, Who from below, hast made me rise unwillingly and slow from beds of everlasting snow» the beauty of these words!! I remember hearing Klaus Nomi (RIP) sing that in the early 80s and immediately falling in love with this aria.
Truly wonderful ❤
Словами нельзя описать это❤
Mais absolument génial!!! Toujours cette voix de velours à l’intensité exceptionnelle… 😮
Божественно.
Toutes les modulations de Purcell rendues par génie.
Magnifique.❤
Perfección.
Grande sensibilité dans cette interprétation de cette superbe création de Purcell; Merci Mr Lesne.
THIS SINGER IS PERFECTION.
Inouï ! Cette une terrible splendeur sortie de chaos de larmes . . . C’est fou !
De mon point de vue toujours la plus belle voix de haute-contre: cette profondeur!
This never gets bad. Can just hear it over and over and over again.
NICE
Just incredible!
Es una hermosa interpretación dramática, gracias RUclips, muchas gracias Gérard!!!
Merveilleux, monsieur Lesne, merveilleux!
Merci, Monsieur Lesne. Mon coeur déborde de reconnaissance! Je suis un fan de vôtre art depuis 30 ans.
Moi aussi!!!
All I can say is thank you!
Sublime! Envy the audience.
Wat is het toch een dramatisch stuk! En die dramatiek wordt perfect uitgebeeld door de zanger.
Fantastisch!
wow very very impressive - masterly performance - thanks for posting
the best version ever heard 💕 thank you Lesne
beautiful
Mr. Lesne, your voice is wonderful, I have been listening to your performance for several days and I am more and more surprised every moment. This performance is truly memorable.. and the best wishes for you.
What an exceptional performance!
La plus belle et la plus sensible version. Bouleversant.
Une voix incroyable et un charisme de folie ❤
Very beautiful and very inspiring for me, as I am a countertenor as well.
I have heard interpretations that I technically prefer, but god damn this gentleman absolutely nails the musical theatre aspect. Like his whole body shapes itself to get the exact pitch and nuance called for. Fantastic
Certainly this is the best rendition I have both seen or heard.
The song itself is indeed genius. I love the opening chord progessions that resolve in a manner evoking a sense of coldness and awakening.
Очень красивое исполнение. Спасибо исполнителям и всем причастным!
très belle voix et belle interprétation vocale... saisissant
Wow! I've never heard the before. This is such a haunting and expressive performance. Thank you!
And again. Artistry at its most sublime. Bravo sir. 😎😎😎
Ah, se eu tivesse a voz desse senhor! Magnífico!👏👏👏
Gorgeous!
Il est fantastique, il touche au cœur. Admiration 👑
This is the most amazing version of the cold song I ever heard.
Whao! Impressionnant et magnifique !!
Sublime ! Je ne suis pas grand connaisseur ni vraiment amateur des contre ténors mais la maîtrise de la transition et de la zone entre les 2 registres de voix m'ont complètement retourné !
Wspaniały,wspaniały, wspaniały. Mistrz. Dziękuję 💐💐💐💐💐
Absolutely amazing! Grand performance
Cette version est magnifique❤ aussi puissante que crepusculaire !!Et je ne la decouvre que le mois dernier...Comment ai je pu ne pas la connaitre avant ?? La question est la...merci c est grandiose...TOUT y est sublime !!!❤
Je crois que vous avez connu mon frere Michel Levy qui etait dans le groupe Organum au debut...🎵
I have watched many versions and they are incredibly varied and enjoyable, but this is just stunning. All round! .The treatment is superb. :-)
Merci.
Haunting, soaring, clear, so beautifully sung and played. Thank you
interpretation plus forte que beaucoup d'autres! Je ne connaissais pas cet artiste merci!!
What a moving reading! I’m now a new fan. Well, better late than never, I guess.
Merveilleux, magnifique, sublime !!!
Just beautiful.....
Magnifique.
Bellissima interpretazione di un classico che sfida i secoli.
Лучшее исполнение! Настоящий! Искренний! Браво!
Beau, poignant, humain, habité. Point d'affèteries, mais le coeur vibrant, par-delà ses angoisses.
Touché au plus profond. Bravo, et merci.
Breathtaking...I'm speechless...
I cannot think of another song like this in any discipline, staccato yet fluid, unearthly yet so full of earthly passion.
Magnifique voix et orchestre, merci :)
La plus belle interprétation à ce jour de ce chek d'œuvre de PURCELL et pourtant il y en a de très belles.
Bravo Gérard, quel talent!.

Oh so beautiful.
