As I watched and listened, I thought, "I can't believe that Aksel was singing beautifully as a soprano about a year ago!" The transition has been so clean. I wish, for your own voice, that the key were a little higher, but you were still not growling for the lower notes. Wonderful performance -- both of you. Look forward to more videos. I know you are working hard and still developing your voice. God will reward you. You sound very professional even at 15.
Thank you for this! We often get songs transposed for me nowadays to get the optimal key. It is still changing. Will be exciting to see where I end up.
Robert Olsen I totally agree. The best rendition of this duet on social media. Not silly or heavy ... just WONDERFUL!
You are sounding good :) What is your optimal range right now?
aha! Very wise indeed....I change keys of songs all the time, transposing stuff to fit my voice perfectly...Good luck on your wonderful musical journey!
Your voice is such a good song
Was für eine wirklich tolle Darstellung! So schlicht und einfach, und doch so groß! Genau so stelle ich mir das vor, die Liebe ganz einfach darzustellen. Hoffentlich werden wir noch mehr von beiden hören!!!!
what a delight to see and hear these two kids sing.
Aksel sings almosty with no effort. Strong, smooth, stable voice - a harbinger of a strong professional adult voice. It’s very joyful to realize that the child's soprano goes into the professional instrument of an already tanned singer - nature did not let the guy down and he can continue his career.
I like your new baritone voice more and more...
I have just discovered you. I'm awestruck! I've always loved the boy soprano voice and was blown away by your earlier videos. Curious, I then watched your baritone transformation: a miracle! Please, please look after yourself. You are a national treasure. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the beauty you bring to our lives.
Once a soprano, now a baritone, always BRAVO!! You make my ears so happy, Aksel, thank you!
Thank you, happy to hear it!
Precioso.!!!!!
You've restored my faith in today's youth! Beautiful ❤️
Great, thanks!
Well said
her voice just couldn't measure up to his.. he's extraordinary
This is just perfection! Both singers-pronunciation, diction, and of course the musicality. The staccato "pa pa pa", etc. has always given me problems singing this and this was done superbly. Also, just the piano let the voices really be heard clearly. Bravo to you both!
Thank you! Really need to concentrate to get this right :)
Usually the Norsemen and the Swedes have no problem with the German language. But the Germans on their side they have a lot of difficulties to learn the Scandinavian languages.
@@denismatulaitis Why is that?
@@sirvoxtales2653 My opinion is - the Scandinavians are relatively small nations, they are supposed to learn foreign languages. Besides, the Swedes and Norsemen learn easily such languages as English and German because they are related between each other. Contrary to this the Germans were long time a self-sufficient nation, they didn't get used to learn the foreign tongues. And actually they didn't need it either. Now the usually learn only English.
@@denismatulaitis thank you. I learned something.
Прекрасно! Браво! Браво! Браво!
Thank you for that!
Very sweet ... I'm from Germany and you sang it very good and audible in German language. Thumbs up!
Thank you! Rehearsing Schubert songs for the Fjord Classics festival at the moment - I find that singing in German is good for practising clear consonant sounds :)
Stimmt!
Kära Aksel du är fortfarande faktiskt att lyssna på. Älskar din unika känsla för musiken, och du har en stor karriär framför dig. Kommer att följa dig noga
How wonderful they fill my heart with joy ❤❤👏👏
I don't find words ,fantastic
Wowzer!!! Aksel, another absolutely FANTASTIC performance. Your new voice is so rich and the clarity is stunning. Am so looking forward to joining you on the next chapter of this wonderful adventure and watching you grow in confidence with each video you post. You have a dedicated fan for life. Well done xx
Thanks, that’s nice to hear! It’s a treat to be part of these professional TV productions sometimes, they are really good at recording sound as well.
Die junge Generation singt wieder Mozart, mir laufen die Tränen! :') Gott schütze euch und so viel Erfolg und Freude auf eurer Reise! ♡
The young generation is singing Mozart again, I have tears streaming down my face! :')
God bless you and I wish you so much success and joy for your journey! ♡
I love your new voice Aksel.
Wow, amazing.
WOW!!! Two stars headed for the top :) Just beautiful, such a mature performance.
How charming! Both of you - just delightful.
Aksel amazing job!!! It just shows the hard work you have put in to your transition from being a soprano. This song really just makes me want to see the Magic Flute again... Again, outstanding performance!
Thanks!
I liked this very much. Usually Papageno is about the same age, or even older, than Pamino, so his failure of the test and his pursuing earthly pleasure rather than enlightenment makes him seem a bit of a simpleton. However, this interpretation, of making him a teenager, means that he's simply too immature to seek the Higher Mysteries---with the implication that at some later date he may come back to the Temple.
We did only this scene, but interesting to think about how it would fit in the bigger picture!
So, Papoageno is a DeMolay!
Браво! Браво! очень рада, что его нынешний баритон так же хорош, как и сопрано в прошлом!!
Aksel und Inga wie wunderbar und mit welcher Freude Ihr diese Musik darbringt !! Leider hört man zu wenig von Euch🙄😏,besonders von Aksel ist kaum etwas von seinem Werdegang zu hören.Bitte mehr davon,herzlichst Ruth♥️🌹
A truly great performance by Inga and Aksel - I thoroughly enjoyed it, as so evidently did they - thanks for sharing it us.
Thanks as always. Both of you are fab.
Супер шедевр......
Wounderfoul! Amazing! 🤗🌹
so schön und superrein, eine Freude!
Danke sehr!
Aksel - Amazing to hear you now. How smooth the voice and firm control. Wonderful - I am so happy for you and for your future.
Thank you! Glad to hear that improvement is noticeable :)
Oh wow! Great Voices!! And also the German is very good! I understand every single word!👌👍 (I'm from Austria😅)
Sehr schön anzuhören, BRAVO. Die Arie ist mit Euch Beiden nun 2x zu hören
I am happy to hear Aksel sing this in his "man`s" voice,Big fun!
Delightful, Aksel, I loved the duet, love your new voice, and the accompaniment was fine as well. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely outstanding Aksel. I am no longer surprised at your seemingly endless talent, brought about I don't doubt by a lot of hard work. Although I have not seen Inga previously I shall look forward to hearing her again. Congratulations to you both.
Thanks! Hard work, yes, but we are also lucky to have an excellent teacher in Marianne Willumsen Lewis.
Beautiful Aksel !
Super gesungen, man bekommt eine Gänsehaut, Bravo 👏👏👏
Cool, thanks!
Bravissimi entrambi. Esecuzione veramente "fresca" dovuta sopratutto all'età degli interpreti!
Yes, it's different, right :)
Wow, super und sehr professionell, einfach fantastisch und grandios, ja und noch auf deutsch wow, du bist ein Star!!!
Danke schön :)
Stunning performance!
Aksel's changed voice is also sweat and beautiful as much as his soprano
I'm sure he will become great singer
Aksel, I thought you were German when I first saw your video ( Laudate Dominium by Mozart ) one month ago. It was absolutely fantastic. I wish you all the best in your career and hope you always sing magically like this
I am Norwegian, but I have sung a lot of German-language music, Bach etc. Now it’s Schubert Lieder :)
Lovely new voice Axel, and will develop even stronger, It was quite a shock, after listening to your previous works as a Treble.
Hehe, I can understand that :)
Magnificent! Congrats.
Thank you!
Herzerreißend!!! Bravissimo!!!
Brilliant, as usual!
Aksel, you and Inga sound good together! you should duet with each other more often!
This should be performed only by 14 and 15 year-olds from now on. What a pleasure! Aksel, your voice has matured so beautifully in one short year. Mozart would have been delighted.
Yes, good idea :)
As I said above, it puts a much better light on Papageno's failure at the Test of Silence and his not pursuing full initiation. It isn't a matter of his being either weak or simple---he just needs to grow up a bit.
Bravo Aksel & Inga ! Félicitations à vous trois !
This is so lovely! Marvellous Xx
Wonderful performance! Bravo Aksel!
Very beautiful.
This version with very young singers seems more convincing to me, as when singers are very settled and should be tried more often!
... so professional! The voice is very good - and in such a short time... remarkable! You will be a great singer, I'm sure.
Wonderful! Congratulations to both of you. Aksel, your new voice is very beautiful and adult. Thanks to both of you for sharing this with the world.
Thank you, and you are welcome!
Fantastic! Bravo!
Simply wonderful!!
I love this! Congratulations
A very talented young man.
Thank you for that!
BRAVO un vrai bonheur.... continuez .......
Such a nice performance! Amazing voices! You did really delight the audience with something new and beautiful! And the happy end explains the superb conclusion: "Only true love can save and unite two beautiful souls." ☺
It was really fun to do this, especially with the choreography made for us by Gunnar Bergstrøm, director of the Children's Chorus at the opera :)
Yes, it is also a funny, joyous version :)
Both of you are great!
Thanks! We just did this duet again at a festival in Sandefjord - it’s really fun to sing :)
Congratulations Aksel. Your new voice is amazing.
Das Duett singt Ihr Beide wunderschön, Bravo.
Awwwwwww, they're sooo cute !!!
Bravo, Aksel! Die Zauberflöte is one of my favourite operas, and your singing and acting are superb - and Inga is a great Papagena! I have watched many of your videos on CZcams, and am so very impressed with the beauty of your voice and the way you interpret so many great classical pieces. 'The Cold Song' by Purcell was fantastic. I hope that one day we in Ireland may have the pleasure of hearing you sing in person in Dublin. God bless you in your future career.
Thank you, I feel privileged to be able to explore more and more classical gems. Dublin would be very interesting, I have been to England many times, but never to Ireland. We'll see!
*Thanks Aksel! It's unbelievable! Top class!*
Thanks. We were happy with the performance!
👏👍💖.....Wahnsinn, unglaublich, zum weinen schön!!! LG aus Bayern 🎈🎶☄
Hermoso! Lo disfruté mucho... Gracias!!!
Twój piękny śpiew sprawia, że nawet najgorszy dzień staje się lepszy.
Dziękuję ci za twoją pasję i wszystkie wykonania.
PS
Teraz brzmisz jeszcze lepiej 😉
Very happy to hear that!
Love it!
I love!
Outstanding Aksel, your new voice is already very well developed and has a very personal sound that is immediately recognizable. I wish you much success for what you want to achieve.
Love to hear that, thank you!
Simply superb! What more can I or need I say
Thank you so much!
Aksel BRAVISIMO los dos 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
More magic between these two than in the opera.
Que cambio de voz.... De niño a joven preciosa interpretación
Thanks!
Fantastic!!
Fantastic.
💫👣💫
Eu amo musicas clássicas AKSEL ÉS FANTÁSTICO. Parabéns!
BRAVISSIMO E COMPLIMENTI PER LA TUA VOCE!!!!!!!!!👏👏👏👏👍😉
Grazie!
Прекрасный голос ! 💖🌺🌺🌺👏👏🙏
Bravo both of you! Just remember this is a part for mature voices and I would love to hear you sing this again in few years time!
Great to hear that your voice control is intact after the transformation and that it already packs a punch.
Thanks!
Édesek vagytok! Aksel , egyre szebben teljesedik ki a hangod. Remélem a koncertek is fent lesznek a youtubeon. Szeretettel várom itt Magyarországon.
Thanks! More concert videos coming on CZcams later.
Takk!
¡Me encantaa!
great !!!
Il a bien grandi notre Aksel! Bravo!
Wonderfulll...
You made my day :) :) Thank you , mange tak :) Beautiful !
Bare hyggelig!
I actually was wondering whether you have sung Papageno's aria and today I had the chance to find out that you have :) it was a nice surprise.... Btw do you find Mozart demanding to sing? For example Papageno's aria? ..
Difficult to say in general about a composer, and it will depend on the arias, but earlier, when I sang more by Bach, I found that more demanding to sing than Mozart, for example.
Niesamowite śpiewanie, talenty ogromne...
Bravo!
I've been looking forward to this since you mentioned you were working on this in your comments to me from your last video! I am sure Herr Mozart would be quite pleased with your performances! You can now coach the boy trebles that play the three spirits, too!
Hehe :) Some time in the future, why not
Il più irresistibile papagheno che abbia mai sentito, bravissimi entrambi
Cool, thank you!
Aksel: impecable y extraordinario en su nuevo registro. Nada de descepción sino una nueva sorpresa que promete éxitos in crecendo según el talento incambiado de un gran artista.
Very kind of you to say, thank you!
That's pretty awesome.
The male vocal is usually a rich baritone
but here we get boys and girls
It's bit like Zeffirelli's Romeo and Julliet 1968
*Esa aria siempre me hace llorar. Magnífica interpretación.*
Gracias!
Mein lieber Aksel, deine Stimme entwickelt sich so gut. Natürlich könnte ich ein bisschen predjudeice sein, weil ich es immer liebe, wenn du auf Deutsch singst. Gute Leistung Aksel.
Danke schön! Rehearsing some Schubert lieder at the moment, for the Fjord Classics festival. Always enjoyable to sing in German!
Bravissimo forte. !!!!
Aksel, you are grande grande!
You too inga.
The world is waiting for you!
The great thing is that we are going to perform this duet again, at least once more :)
Hi Aksel,
This must sound silly to a 14 year old in Norway, but you have brought much peace and joy to me, a maths teacher in southern Italy.
Keep singing!
