Jonas Kaufmann: The voice is the most versatile instrument
|
|
Spotlight in English
He made his debut at The Met by
banging his head into a chandelier, then he started to sing and
the New York audience loved him.
Jonas Kaufmann is
the guest in this episode of Spotlight and this is an archive
special, recorded in 2013. He talks to Kerstin Berggren about
singing Wagner and Verdi, how he did a rather special audition
for the legendary Giorgio Strehler in Milan and why he likes to
sing lieder.
From early childhood music was an important
element in his life and his grandfather, who lived in the same
house in Munich, played the piano and sang Wagner all the time.
Now Jonas Kaufmann is one of the world's leading opera
tenors with many memorable performances. In Spotlight he talks
about some of them, Don Carlo at The Royal Opera House in London
and Parsifal at The Met in New York.
When he started to
sing Wagner some critics said: It sounds too beautiful...
– Why shouldn't Wagner sound beautiful, Jonas Kaufmann
replied.
