    Four Songs, Op. 13: III. Sure on this Shining Night
    Text by James Agee
    Sure on this Shining Night
    Sure on this shining night
    Of star made shadows round,
    Kindness must watch for me
    This side the ground.
    The late year lies down the north.
    All is healed, all is health.
    High summer holds the earth.
    Hearts all whole.
    Sure on this shining night I weep for wonder wand'ring far
    alone
    Of shadows on the stars.

    Sometimes I hear a singer perform a piece of music and think: “this must have been what the composer heard when he or she wrote it.” Lisette Oropesa has captured the essence and profundity so wonderfully with her rich, multi-colored voice. I can’t stop listening.

    What a uniquely gorgeous song. Wow. I'd love to hear a modern non-operatic take. Though this woman's performance is absolutely lovely

    Lisette, thank you for your exquisitely beautiful rendition. I am in Minnesota where the winters are long, cold and dark. Yet, the beauty of a summer night in the northern forests, gazing at the stars and their reflection in the lakes is unsurpassed. Your interpretation of this song expresses the emotions perfectly.

    Lisette is amazing! And what can be said of the pianist accompanying her? He was great also. Look with what sentiment he strikes those last chords

    So true to the piece, the text, the dynamics. Beautifully shaped phrases!!!
    Its 12:50am in Philadelphia right now - and this is sending me off to bed so wonderfully calm, and gently
    Thank you Mdme Oropesa for this gift.

    This is very wonderful. And she is very perfect in the delivery. And I did sing this with the Cantare Chorale (the four-part version) so I can tell "good stuff" when I hear it. ("Good stuff" is a technical term only we singers use among ourselves.) Anyway this is really "good stuff."

    Lisette, I have become such a fan of yours over the past year. Your interpretation of the Obradors "Canciones..." inspired me in rehearsing the pieces for my lecture recital, and I am now having my students watch many your videos as well. Yes, your voice is brilliant, but there is something so equally admirable about your comfortable yet commanding presence on the stage. Thank you so much for your contributions. If you have not yet sung in beautiful Maine, we would love to have you here!

    • @enriqueali
      @enriqueali 3 года назад +2

      Roberta Alexander’s version enjoys the benefit of the orchestral accompaniment, which envelops her voice and the song with a glowing string sound. At this level of musical artistry comparisons are extremely subjective, if not downright odious. I for one am equally enthralled by both performances. Superlative achievements both!
