Ik vind er wel goed maar op een of andere manier schiet het niet op. Kan aan mijn onrust liggen maar ook die live band slaat wel `ns een akkoord aan waarvan ik denk dat ik een groove hoor. De band dan zelf niet? ..Want ze herhalen het niet wat dus wel het kenmerk van een groove is. Kortom ; ik zou her jazz een beetje opleuken. Het zit er in maar ik wacht er nog op. Vandaag op de Belgische radio `n nummer van der gehoord dat wel helemaal goed zat. Kweet alleen niet hoe het heet en kan het hier op CZcams niet vinden.
I think that possibly Tess Gregory's comments are informed not by the format of the aria, but by the tone. This is a dirge; a song of mourning, sung by a woman about her murdered husband--who is actually lying dead in front of her as people come to her house to comfort her. No matter what, the musicians should not be boogying or the singer delivering a a self-centered rendition. I am saddened that you would post this song with no knowledge whatsoever about the origins of the song and the great American work, Porgy & Bess.

I am saddened that sharing the knowledge you have, which, until now, I didn't know whatsoever, saddens you... Isn't it grateful to illuminate someone's ignorance? Showing, enlightening, gets obscured by "showing off". May this also be the problem on Melanie's performance...? Well, now that I've been instructed on the funeral tone of the original song, I can smell the pompous odor in this interpretation. How I wish the "dead man laying" could give us their point of view, especially George Gershwin (Julio Cortázar's writing on "Our Demeanor at Wakes" comes to my mind) Kim, thanks for "killing" one corpuscle of my ignorance! Now It lays next to me... and I boastfully laugh! Damned vanity that possesses me when I forget that I died along. Greetings
Certainly; and in any case, Gershwin wrote this as an opera, not a poorly performed 'interpretation' of this superb aria - which is known for its extreme difficulty. I mean, has whoever this woman is read the music?

+Tess Gregory I listened to Sarah Vaughan and Los Angeles Philarmonic interpretation, is this kind of interpretation you are referring to? If George Gershwin were alive I would like to know his opinion. Thanks for the information on the roots of this song. Cheers
You mean to say that its forbidden to reinterprete an operatic aria into a different arrangement, focussing on the bluesy nature of the song? I think that is a rather fundamentalist view of music.. Personally, I think this is a great version and a great performance, too. It brings out a different nature of the song which clearly is rooted in a deep blues feeling. Like Ennaus says, I would have liked to know Gershwin's opinion too. And, by the way, Tess, if you would investigate some of the work of 'whoever this woman is', you'll find out she's one of europe's greatest and widely appreciated jazz singers of the moment.
La beauté appartient à la beauté

Misschien was het "your freedom is the end of me" Zij is buitengewoon!
koop gewoon alles, want alles is goed. Haar debuut is schitterend, haar volgende album blackened cities is van even hoge kwaliteit en intensiteit.

she's blond now ?
No, she was then... (2008)
okay
@@lukethebelgian Oh, that difficult art of reading....
Totally abominable. This is an operatic aria.

I daresay she is, but she isn't an opera singer.
