O Isis und Osiris. Tenor sings a bass aria.
I am a tenor (I hope...) I found this karaoke on youtube, while I was singing Wagner tenor arias....(This bass aria popped up...) Before I sang Morgenlich leuchtend...A difficult Wagner... I felt like trying the bass aria, that I know, because one of my voice student was singing this, and I played the piano...He sang with and as a solist in the malechoir that I conducted for some seven years...After filming this, I sang and put on youtube, Mein lieber Schwan and Celeste Aida.....Strange how bright they sound, comparing to this aria...I can sing three oktaves (more or less) but color is not the same .....With security I can sing (audible notes" from G to High D flat .....Two and a half oktave...I belive that I am best in arias like Che gelida manina, Tombe degli avi miei, La donna e mobile, and the lirical tenorparts... Still with a power to sing more "robust roles" like Manrico and Radames....I sang a fine La vita e in ferno few months ago...(I think, it is on youtube) "A strong lyric tenor" growing a bit more heroic, is what I hope for, to be....... Getting more in touch with my body only lately.... I know nine tenor roles and would be a fine catch as a "cover tenor" for medium or big opera houses. Good memory and long lasting power...I did a video with Di quella pira, four times in a row. Also some four Wagner arias in a row, plus Nessum dorma.... My pendulum says "I will sing in opera house as a solist this autum" . I hope so.... .(Not Sarastro though, ha ha ha ha ) Kári Friðriksson, karifrid@hotmail.com Tel: 00354 6910665
