    Marilyn Horne sings "Beautiful Dreamer" by Stephen Foster with Martin Katz at the piano.
    From: VAI DVD 4323 Marilyn Horne in Recital - Milan, 1981
    Though Marilyn Horne is known mostly for her virtuosic operatic roles, she is a superb recitalist who can scale her powerful voice down to the more intimate requirements of the recital stage.
    In 1981, she appeared at Milans La Scala opera house in a recital consisting of music by Italian, German, Spanish, French and American composers. Horne was in particularly superb form that evening, partnered brilliantly by Martin Katz at the piano.
    93 minutes, color, mono.

    I will forever remember taking my Mother to hear Miss Horne sing in recital at Jorgensen Hall, University of Connecticut. She sang a wonderful program but when she sang Beautiful Dreamer as an encore I heard my Mom sigh and just melt with enjoyment. I'm so glad I was able to take her to hear Marilyn Horne. Rest in Peace Mom.

    This reminds me of the time that our Marguerite house choir sang this song for the annual inter-house singing competition at Good Shepherd Convent in Sri Lanka. I was 11 at that time, and therefore asked to stand in the first row on stage. We were all from age 11 - 16. What a beautiful and enjoyable experience that was. Thanks to the wonderful Irish Sisters of the Good Shepherd who taught us to develop a taste for good music and the appreciation of it.

    This is one of songs I first heard when my father brought home an old wind-up gramaphone with a stack of 78s and a little silver box ful[ of needles. The sound crackled and wavered but we imagined the singer. Now I can hear without winding, wavering and crackling.
    Thanks for sharpening my memory with this offering!

    I love the way she took a nice breath before the last note - some people would just have to try to struggle through the whole phrase ("purists") & end up sounding bad/out of breath. But not Marilyn, she knows how to do it right. Thank you! I'm so glad I took the time to listen to this wonderful video.

    It's so nice that she actually sings the second verse (Beautiful Dreamer, out on the sea..) I really like the second verse, but its so difficult to find a version where the singer actually sings it. Even worse there's version that seem long enough, but instead the singer just sings the first verse twice, I mean why?? >_>

    • @patricias5122
      @patricias5122 Před 7 lety +6

      Yes, but poor Stephen Foster died penniless, his situation was dire ... as you might know, he sold his wonderful songs for a pittance because of his desperation. He inspired our laws that protect songwriters. I wouldn't return to those days for anything...degenerate though we may be now.

    • @syourke3
      @syourke3 Před 7 lety +6

      Yes, I agree with you. It is a national disgrace that Stephen Foster and Edgar Poe died in poverty - these genisues who contributed so much to our culture and who enriched our lives beyond measure. When i was a child, I used to play Foster tunes on the piano - and when I discovered that he died so young and in poverty, it made me terribly sad. Artistic genius should be reconigzed and respected and supported in every way. Mozart died in poverty, too. Schubert as well. These geniuses created music that makes life worth living (well, almost!) - and for that, we owe them a great deal.

    • @filibertoZZ
      @filibertoZZ Před 6 lety +1

      I understand what you mean about the warmth of her voice. There is a good chance that you would also love other warm-voiced opera singers. The tenors and sopranos usually get the best roles because of the excitement of the high notes, but there are some wonderful mezzo and bass roles that you would probably love, plus some dramatic singers with high voices with warmth. You might even learn to love opera, as I did. Also, don't ignore singers of art songs, like this. There is a wealth of that literature -- not opera -- with singers of all voice types and ranges in CZcams recordings. If you care, listen to some by Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Janet Baker, and other mezzos, baritones and basses.
