She expresses her feelings for Figaro wonderfully in her emotions, facial expressions, and her vocal control being more than just a singer but an actress as well! Love her Italian pronunciations, she must be studying this with her voice teach. I guess with voice you never stop working with a vocal coach. Even the jet set of opera have coaches. Benjamin always goes into the fine points of the music and lyrics with such detail and precision. Again at the risk of repeating myself the young lady has such an outstanding voice. I think she has a very bright future ahead of herself, and I wish her the best of luck and happiness in doing so.
By listening your teaching lessons is a privilege for me, so many questions have been answered directly or indirectly. Music is not note on the paper is full of life and human emotions that can not be described by words! Thank you maestro❤
Same here, I think after an hour with him just talking about music ( as just a autodidactic musician) I would be in tears of sorrowful joy. I had the worst of people in my life to learn life lessons from and he would be someone I could have learned to love life from. I will gladly give 10 years of my own life for him to make it 10 more to how ever he hopefully has left if I could meet him.
your body moves to the language of the meaning of your words like method acting your body movement will Conway what it is all about WITHOUT sound --than WITH sound it becomes unforgettable
As a musical lover. Cuando yo escucho esta melodía ,no hago otra cosa que pensar a la injusticia de la vida ,porque si bien Mozart dio a luz a esta belleza, estoy convencido que a su tiempo sus odios nunca pudieron apreciar su completa belleza ,debido a la limitación de los cantantes voces y que en esos tiempos si iba al teatro para comer y gozarse las escapadas amorosas que allí se desarrollaban.È un semplice mio parere, grazie.
Much of this information is not really that important for the opera singer. It should be but it’s not terribly comprehensible unless one has that actor /musician mind. The breathe support/flow, timing, placement of the sound, diction, pitch, register equalization and the LINE of the aria are huge. None of that is addressed here it’s all a straight play which is interesting yet this soprano is blowing air all over the place and there is no appoggia in the Mozart style. THOSE things when applied to the music in the text create all of this stagecraft. It’s already in the music. Callas spoke of this often. Here her voice is disjointed a bit to the line. All of this discussion is good theatre however. As he gets more into the opera it starts to transfer but the singer is somewhat thrown. It’s a difficult thing to blend these things. It’s getting the right tensions inside the whole thing and flexing them as one goes along.
One thing that puts me down on bel canto in general is the constant vibrato. I wish singers and directors were much more attentive and economic on the use of vibrato. Vibrato is an expressive resource. If you use it constantly you destroy the music, it becomes tedious and bel canto becomes a caricature of what it should be. Do you agree?
Vibrato is a natural (and hopefully involuntary) response to good singing technique. Obviously there are lots of incorrect vibrato actions in the world, but generally it is accepted that the voice *must* have a healthy and even vibrato to be considered free. Whether one makes an artistic decision to remove vibrato (for effect) is another question entirely. It isn't 'tradition', it's biology.
@@uknowwho889 it is tradition. Modern voice science does not support your claim that healthy singing creates vibrato. That's just what you've been told. It's what we use to believe but voice sciene from that last decade or two has proved that to be false.

HE TRIES HIS BEST AND HE`S RIGHT BUT....THE GIRL`S ITALIAN IS NOT CORRECT AND DICTION IS DESASTROUS.....HOW CAN ONE !EXPRESS" WITHOUT THE PERFECT MASTERING OF A LANGUAGE ???
She sings beautifully. She has real talent and Zander can really help her bring it out. The larger girl on the piano is probably hopeless. You can’t just hit notes like a playing whack-a-mole.
Candice Thuriven what is wrong with you? what does the pianist’s size have to do with anything? i sure as hell hope you’re a pianist who can sight read something perfectly. i’d love to critique you sometime. absolutely ridiculous and insensitive.
The pianist, don’t know what physique or gender has to do with anything, has almost certainly been required to accompany singers by keeping it ‘low key’ not about the piano, they’re asked to keep the tempo and support the sung line rather than be conspicuous. I like Zander but he gets over directing, the performers are hardly getting more than 3 or 4 bars before getting pulled, it’s bloody difficult to get any cohesion. It would be better imho if he let her do the whole aria then concentrate on stylistic adjustments.
She has a great voice but Zander is getting restless with both the piano not playing as it should and the singer being slow to adjust to his direction.
@@russellbaston974 Russell, if you’ve never been somewhere, you have to visualise it. The great thing about Zander is that he’s BEEN to these places in his soul and just wants everyone to share his experiences. Seeing is believing, remember one of his best quotes...”The conductor/teacher depends for his power on his ability to make other people powerful”
@@patrick6110 He responds to the parts that he feels needs improving but he also constantly praises her too. It’s like trying to learn to swim in an empty pool. Without enough water you are pretending to swim. To swim you MUST have enough water to move through

Always a joy to see musicians transition to artists. Zander and his students are brilliant.
It’s so hard, but a reason to get up in the morning. Love that and his wisdom and brilliance. So grateful to be allowed to observe.
She expresses her feelings for Figaro wonderfully in her emotions, facial expressions, and her vocal control being more than just a singer but an actress as well!

The pianist deserves her own prize.
I think he was judging the pianist more than the singer……..
Very brave accompanist & soloist.

Yes he’s absolutely right this aria is a crown jewel even by Mozart’s standard. If not the greatest aria for sopranos.
I don’t believe I’ve ever heard anything as beautiful as this girls voice! Bravo!
Awesome masterclass!! I'm studying this Mozart's aria and this video help me so really much!😊💙 Thanks!
I enjoy those masterclasses very much. I learn so much just from watching. Thank you very much Benjamin:!
it is like magic every time he touches the piano.
I stumbled upon this. What a treat and an education!
Love it! I hope Mr. Zander does a solo piano masterclass in the future!
Maria Whitcomb has a marvellous voice. When she masters her art she has diva potential.
Mr. Zander - I work in Industrial Security … and I use your lessons in my training. It’s not just about the music. Which is beautiful by the way.
That’s the point!
I adore this superbe ambiance!
I need to meet this man
Same here, I think after an hour with him just talking about music ( as just a autodidactic musician) I would be in tears of sorrowful joy. I had the worst of people in my life to learn life lessons from and he would be someone I could have learned to love life from.

Master Zander ! Maravilloso maestro ....analisis profundo ademas su vision trascendental.
Un maravilloso maestro completo
Man, I felt that when he said "give it 10 years" 0.o jesus
Excellent professor! Wouwwwww👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Bella voz... Me encanta la indicación y el drama en la pequeña historia que relata está aria... Un plan de amor

Awesome!
Great teacher, great student, or I should say students, in that both the singer and the accompanist much improved with that expert coaching!
A beautiful voice
THIS is Fine Art.
Love it already!!

Penso che tu abbia assolutamente ragione
Maestro can you start all over again , but make it mandatory ,we need to save our feelings and be happy ...💕💕💕😄
We neeeeed more!
I’m on shrooms watching this I can feel like I’m there. 😂 Idk how I can across this.
Absolutely awesome 😁😁
Incredible ❤
Leonard Bernstein and Benjamin Zander the clash of the romantic, dramatic,extrovert titans.
Stunning! And I don't even like singing.
Great detail and insights, but no teacher should crush the student the way he did with that ten year comment. It was horrible.
The criticisms are kind of funny. Like any of we morons could even hold a candle to these people. It’s almost like magic.

WOOOOOOOOOOP
A lesson in pure legato
All Da Ponte operas only with piano, the orchestra drowns everything, also the psychology.
Perfection need a lot patience.
Maestro Zander The ENO or the Royal Opera House so need you to do a production. How can this be made to happen!
Pickman Hall at Longy school of music in Cambridge.
The beyond on find art
Just want to know who is the singer's teacher.....where did she learn from?
Fun stuff
the moment you experimence a cello player plays your piano just perfectly... Dina will understand his intentions i thinkl.
Cuuuurrrrsiiiii
V
Love him but his insistence of appoggiaturas is aggravating. No one on this earth is from the 19th century
poor young singers having to deal with old men. OHHHHH He is not funny and not helping at all.
Shouldn't kidnap any1's family
HE TRIES HIS BEST AND HE`S RIGHT BUT....THE GIRL`S ITALIAN IS NOT CORRECT AND DICTION IS DESASTROUS.....HOW CAN ONE !EXPRESS" WITHOUT THE PERFECT MASTERING OF A LANGUAGE ???
why the caps lock though
She’s learning. She’s trying. Nothing here to be negative about whatsoever. The alternative is to not do it?
Can't stand the constant interruptions. Take a phrase or so at a time.
The accompanist is not my cup of tea she ruins it for me ... she sounds like she’s playing without any taste, sense, soul. Soooo mechanical.
She sings beautifully. She has real talent and Zander can really help her bring it out. The larger girl on the piano is probably hopeless. You can’t just hit notes like a playing whack-a-mole.
