Bryn Terfel

[drmorgans]

Going to see him tonight at Symphony Hall. Not sure what to expect from, "Song and Arias", Mozart to Wagner and music from his home country.

I've always enjoyed listening to him & I hope you have a great evening :-)

//Not sure what to expect //

I expect he'll be singing. If you think he might do some conjuring or doing a stand-up comedy act I think you'll be disappointed.

[drmorgans]

I was wondering if anyone else had seen him doing this sort of concert. Are there other singers? Does the orchestra play the odd piece etc?

[bhg481]

It sounds like if he did some jokes you wouldn't get them.

Enjoy the concert.

Thanks for setting the tone LiK
Shame it fell apart

[lady-janine]

Beautiful voice.
speaks well in his native language as well.

[drmorgans]

The concert was a joy, good humour but no magic tricks, just Sir Bryn, a female singer (Freya Wynn Jones maybe) and a solo harpist (whose name I didn't get) plus the Sinfonia Cymru performing a selection by Mozart, Beethoven, Dvorak, Wagner, Debussy, Messaien, Ivor Novello and some Welsh folk tunes and songs.

Sounds wonderful drm. Wish I'd been there. So pleased you enjoyed it.

His cousin lived down here in Cornwall and sung with my mother. Unfortunately she passed away and was buried back in her native North Wales, Bryn singing at the funeral.....apparently rather good he was too.

Other tenors are available.
Go compare!

[ladybirder]

He's a bass-baritone, not a tenor now.
