And more menacing because you won't suspect if this guy is a serial killer. Unlike Depp's version, if you can't tell that he is, well you don't deserve the life that you have right now
Terfel pulling back on those soft, sustained notes to match the ensemble: the most musicality in this most musical of quartets that I have every heard. Not sure Groban will be able to do it as well but he will come close.
@@bemer65351 Also this only her SECOND time playing this role! According to Wikipedia, She also played this role in the 2000 First New York Philharmonic Concert with George Hearn reprising his Broadway/Televised Tour portrayal of Sweeney with Patti Lupone as Mrs. Lovett: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweeney_Todd:_The_Demon_Barber_of_Fleet_Street#Principal_roles That was untelevised, unlike the 2001 Los Angeles Concert with George and Patti which had Victoria Clark playing the Beggar Woman.
@@aurumthebrave3427 Also pretty painful when you think of how, with the casting of Audra and Erin in this concert, both this mother and her daughter can TECHNICALLY be seen, image wise, as physical manifestations of both Sweeney's past memories of Lucy(through the mother) and also of his own wistful vision of a grown up Johanna(the daughter, despite the daughter's brunette hair) in his mind.
Terfel is perfect., And what marvelous diction. And as always, Jonathan Tunick's masterful orchestration (that horn... like a distant beacon). And that perfect questioning chord at the end!
Two thoughts: 1. Leonard Bernstein is quoted as saying, "I've never been jealous of another composer's work until I saw Sweeney Todd. 2. I know "I'll steal you Joanna," is a troublesome lyric, but within the context of the story, I'm okay with that. Maybe it's just because I'm an old gay guy.
Personally “I’ll steal you Johanna” has never been that uncomfortable to me as a woman, the one that reallly skeeves me is “I’d want you beautiful and pale with yellow hair like her” never was sure why
@@mist1241 Remember that Sweeney is insane. He's conflating his memories of his daughter with her mother and has an unrealistic view of both of them, remembering them as he left them and not as they became.
This production has the best Anthony in my opinion, in comparison to the original 1979 Broadway production, the '81 theatre production with George Hearn, and the 2007 Tim Burton movie (even if the one from the film is my favourite).
Really?....Wow.... i think this Anthony did an awful job. He was having a very hard time finding his notes, his pitch was all over the place, and overall was just not consistent. He needs a lot more practice and maybe even more training. I think everyone else did a great job besides him. Seems like it may be a new role for him, and hes not confident in it. You can hear, see, and feel the confidence radiating from Sweeney and the Begger, i dont get that from Anthony at all.
The musical has various moments where two singers overlap with eachother, my favorite song Kiss me/Ladies in their sensitivities has 4 singers overlapping with eachother and each half is singing a different song
Sorry, these are not pop singers free to do what they wish. This is carefully written and they must follow the score exactly. The conductor might retard here and there a speck but not what you wanted.
I don't know if you're being sarcastic so I'm going to try not to spoil Sweeny Todd if you just stumbled across this. Sweeny(the barber) is deported to Australia because the judge wants to be with his wife. When he got back to London his wife had disappeared and he learns his daughter is alive and he hopes that she is like her mother. Her mother had "yellow hair".
@@pianofry1138 I am lol. But I appreciate the synopsis, didn't know it was Australia. I legit cannot remember the cute boys name. It's not Michael.... it's something.
I saw Nolan do it at City Center with Joyce Castle. Nolan's my favorite, too, even over the original Len Cariou. Bryn ain't half bad, tho. Sigh.I'm sure they all get lots of concert and revival gigs to do it everywhere.
Pepper Hume Timothy actually did the role of Sweeney again in 2012 at the Chicago opera receivable, at 71!!! He would’ve been 74 in the 2014 concert, but at least he could nail a G4 (his range actually went all the way to B4) Bryn even struggled to hit the F4 in the end of epiphany. Timothy would’ve been far better here, an older interpretation of Sweeney would’ve been fabulous.
@@phantomphan873 Have you searched or found a video or recording of that performance? I've been a fan since he did Carlisle Floyd's Willie Stark in 1981.
Anthony (Singer) definitley needs some more practice or training. I was trying to figure out what was throwing it off, he was off key, and really couldnt hold his pitch, or even his notes at some points. Everyone else killed it though. Just get a new Anthony.

This version's Sweeny has the voice of an angel
johnny depp still done it better
And more menacing because you won't suspect if this guy is a serial killer. Unlike Depp's version, if you can't tell that he is, well you don't deserve the life that you have right now
I think he's an opera singer normally so that would certainly explain it ;)
Bryn Terfel. This is with the New York Philharmonic
Bryn Terfel is an opera legend, he has done every single baritone role and then some
Oh boy, I'm gonna fall in love with this musical, aren't I?
Watch the 2001 concert (it's on RUclips), it's amazing
I hope so. It’s incredible.
Yes 😊
@@MotivationalFusion1 I’ve seen both and I respectfully and wholeheartedly disagree
@@MotivationalFusion1 yeah

I absolutely adore this Anthony! This will always be my favorite production of Sweeney Todd.
Jay is great! He was a great Raoul, too.
I love the bit he's like 'oh crap I can't kill him he brought his kids! Here's a lollipop'.
IKR⁉️
That’s why he didn’t kill him! That was bugging me so bad. Thank you. 😂😂😂
This Beggar Woman is remarkable.
LOL yeah she should win a Tony or something. Audra McDonald @RachelGoad
Only won 6 Tony’s ... she’s alright 😀

I just laughed my ass off. She’s just the biggest Broadway legend of her time.
4:23 beggar is Sweeney's wife, she called him a fiend, putting up a “peace out” hand gesture
Bryns voice is amazing just absolutely fantastic
I love this performance, and Audra Mcdonald and Hey Molly Gordon! is that you😁😍
This is maybe my favorite song in this show.
5:36 I think this moment is great.If only that bastard judge didn't get in the way he will just be a wholesome dad
It's a really nice touch they added on (not sure if it ever was a thing in past productions but I haven't seen all of them).

@@aurumthebrave3427 it's in every production.
Bryn Terfel's (Sweeny Todd) voice is so beautiful I could listen to him all day! I had the pleasure of hearing him live years ago, he is just amazing.
Loved how Sweeney gave out lollipops
Bro why is he doing that. I do love it though.
Terfel is perfect., And what marvelous diction. And as always, Jonathan Tunick's masterful orchestration (that horn... like a distant beacon). And that perfect questioning chord at the end!
This is how i imagine todd, big guy, with a dragon voice
Breathtaking performance by all.
i always want to marry anthony (despite the demise of all) but wow the lower register w this arrangement makes me love him even more
One, I LOVE your profile picture. Two, yes this song is def one of the best songs of the soundtrack. Probably my favorite.
I've come back to watching this so many times without commenting but have to now. F*** me, this is the best male duet I've ever heard. Much love!

Hello, can you tell me where you found this quote from Bernstein about being jealous?
Personally “I’ll steal you Johanna” has never been that uncomfortable to me as a woman, the one that reallly skeeves me is “I’d want you beautiful and pale with yellow hair like her” never was sure why
@@mist1241 Remember that Sweeney is insane. He's conflating his memories of his daughter with her mother and has an unrealistic view of both of them, remembering them as he left them and not as they became.
It's a musical set in the 19th century and literally everyone in it is or becomes insane. That lyric is kinda creepy but I think that's the point.
@@felixmarques Interesting perspective. Point taken.
I totally loved this!!!! Singing was perfect and the funny bits made it wonderful
I just saw Erin Mackey perform in a production of she loves me last night. She was great.
The pace is killing it.
this antony 💝💝💝
That razor is so pretty! 😍

@@KiLLJOY1056You have to be joking, he sounds absolutely great even if he’s not the most confident (which I don’t even get that impression)
young woman: I'm of the red hand club too
bryn: fine then you can kill him
Wow! That was brilliant!
I love this song‼️
It's a shame they didn't do it as a quartet on the film
*Cutely cries in joy*
This piece by Sondheim has been my number one favorite since the day I saw it...a masterpiece!!!
0:55 I wish Bryn would've waited a moment or two and let Anthony have that glorious musical moment.
It's supposed to overlap, it id showing the different attitudes towards her popping up
The musical has various moments where two singers overlap with eachother, my favorite song Kiss me/Ladies in their sensitivities has 4 singers overlapping with eachother and each half is singing a different song
But then the Sondheim purists wouldn't be happy because that's not what is scored.. can't please everyone!
Sorry, these are not pop singers free to do what they wish. This is carefully written and they must follow the score exactly. The conductor might retard here and there a speck but not what you wanted.
No one mentions the xenomorph in the spotlight in the beginning? Had to triple check that to make sure I was seeing what i saw.
❤️❤️❤️❤️ so good
When was this??? As much as I love other Todd's, how do you deny Bryn Terfel his spotlight!
Bryn Terfel 🔥🔥🙏🙏
is that molly gordon in the ensemble be honest
❤️🎥Eu te sinto Joana
wow its Terfel!!! and Mcdonald this is great!
The beggar woman (his wife) stole this show.
RIP Stephen Sondheim
🖤
I think I may have seen this live. Is it the New York City Opera production?
I like the movie overall but I knew it was a miscast for the leads. THIS IS PROOF of how so much better the movie could've been.
The Tim Burton flick is a crime. UGH.
respectfully you’re insane
Que hermoso :'v
Okay real world question: Were the people in the show actually being shaved or did they use props?
idk if you're being sarcastic lol but if you're not: they use props- it's not best practice to have sharpened razors on stage lol
Does Mr. Handsome guy just have a thing for yellow hair?

@@jaybonn5973 I know I'm a year late, but his name is Anthony!
Bryn Terfel .... Singing Sweeny .... WOOF!
Lucy isnt pale with yellow hair like wheat tho I'm confused
I'm sure the production works regardless. The material is almost 50 years old
Timothy Nolen should’ve done Sweeney here instead of Bryn imo
I saw Nolan do it at City Center with Joyce Castle. Nolan's my favorite, too, even over the original Len Cariou. Bryn ain't half bad, tho. Sigh.I'm sure they all get lots of concert and revival gigs to do it everywhere.

Lucy has blond hair. Just sayin.
The beggar singer was giving too much energy, damn give that to the others lol 😂
I think you entirely miss the point. And don't know the show. All four are brilliantly cast.
Anthony (Singer) definitley needs some more practice or training. I was trying to figure out what was throwing it off, he was off key, and really couldnt hold his pitch, or even his notes at some points. Everyone else killed it though. Just get a new Anthony.
He was perfectly on pitch. I think you need to get some training.
@@davenberryi was gonna say i was absolutely flabbergasted by the first comment, he sounds wonderful
This would be good, if there weren't four people singing over each other.
(Leans back and waits for the comments)
Terfel has a great singing voice, but Johnson failed utterly.
I thought Johnson sounded beautiful ☺️
Attenberg IMO Timothy Nolen should’ve done Sweeney here instead of Bryn.
Ew. Just go ahead and keep that comment about Jay to yourself. Please.
@@laraewooley6119 are you stupid?
Oh god this is beautiful
