Pace non trovo by Franz Liszt - Anthony Leon, Tenor
zhlédnutí 1,5KPřed 5 měsíci
It was a pleasure to work with great American mezzo-soprano Susan Graham in her curation and coaching of this recital. I absolutely love this piece, even though it is incredibly challenging to sing. All of the songs from Liszt's 3 Sonetti di Petraca are this way. You have to pull out all the tricks you have from under your sleeve. However, the challenge is so much fun, and the music is so worth...
"Je crois entendre encore" from Les pêcheurs de perles - Anthony León, Tenor (Mezzo TV)
zhlédnutí 6KPřed 10 měsíci
This aria from Georges Bizet's opera, Les pêcheurs de perles, is one of the most haunting and delicate melodies ever composed. Because of these qualities, it also makes it incredibly treacherous to sing. This piece has become so important to me within this last year, and I will continue to study it and improve it for the future and perhaps for the rest of my performing career. It was my great j...

It was extraordinary for me to be invited to Paris, France, to sing for the 25th Anniversary of Mezzo TV-one of Europe's leading broadcast channels for culture and the arts. I was also special to be accompanied on my trip by Nino Sanikidze, who traveled with me from LA Opera. I was fortunate to sing some of my favorite music in the most beautiful city in the world in a unique venue! What can be...
"Bella enamorada" from El último romántico - Anthony León, Tenor (Operalia 2022 Zarzuela Prize)

I want to share the recording of my performance at Operalia 2022 of the romanze, "Bella enamorada," from the Zarzuela, El último romántico by Reveriano Soutullo and Juan Vert. This reminds me of the greatest moment of the week, second only to winning first prize-singing this for Maestro Plácido Domingo. His voice was the one who inspired me to sing this piece, and being able to make this music ...
Canticle I, Op. 40 by Benjamin Britten - Anthony León, Tenor
zhlédnutí 1,4KPřed rokem
In his lifetime, Britten composed five canticles. They were all written for voice and with various instrumentation. This piece was his first canticle, written in 1947 for the memorial concert for Dick Sheppard, former vicar of St Martin-in-the-Fields. Britten and Peter Pears gave the first performance. Although not all the canticles are based on a religious text, this particular one is, and the...

This video was taken from my Master's Recital at the New England Conservatory of Music in Williams Hall. It has been over a year since this concert, but I have never released footage until now! Of everything I sang that night, this was one of my favorites! This cycle is written so well for both the piano and the voice, and it is a great ride. It truly shows off the Spanish-Andalusian sound and ...

It was my pleasure to perform this song in my Master's Recital, in May 2021. Being half Colombian, it was incredible to discover Jaime León Ferro's music. Colombian Art Song for piano and voice with Colombian poetry. Such gorgeous and moving music. I can't wait to explore this more! Jaime León Ferro was a Colombian composer, director, and pianist.

I am just finishing my second week as an apprentice at Santa Fe Opera, and I could not help but remember the fantastic time I had in the summer of 2021 here!

It is such a pleasure for me to sing it, and I hope you enjoy it! Piano: Carol Anderson Compose...

Peace begins with you and me. The first days of 2021 seemed to have a little more hope as vaccines started rolling out in the United States and worldwide. Then, what we saw on the news made all our guts wrench. Just when we think we've seen it all, something else despicable happens. This time, at the "citadel of liberty" in Washington D.C. In these moments, we can feel hopeless and scared. Howe...

    Heavily laboured to the point of smudging the sheer simplicity of this beautiful piece. And at the start of the second verse he pays no attention to the compser"s markings to begin ff and gradually cone down to pp on the word 'peace'. I feel he makes very heavy weather of the song. By the tenth beat I was almost rendered comatose.

    Anthony... you have a magnificent voice! Truly a talented instrument which God has given you. I implore you to ever use it to the glory of God. As a life-long musician myself: voice, piano and organ, I can recognize talent when I hear it. It is a shame your esteemed accompanist diminished this classic and miserably detracted from it by his playing in what is an otherwise truly beautiful piece!
