Re: [Hornlist] tenor
Slightly outside the realm of music, but good old McGonagall deserves a mention. http://www.mcgonagall-online.org.uk/poems/pgdisaster.htm It has to be said, that I get more pleasure out of his poetry than I do most serious poets. His acting was just as good, and every performance sold out. Kit On Sat, 6 Jan 2007, Steve Haflich wrote: From: Chris Tedesco <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> hahahaha This has to be a joke. He might want to check the text of some of these arias... Whether this alleged tenor is real and/or serious, history records other massively delusional performers. The classic and perhaps best-documented example is Florence Foster Jenkins who you may read about on the Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_Foster_Jenkins FFJ's recordings used to be featured on classical music comedy shows, but in mentioning that I've heard such things I'm showing my age. There is one brief but stunning (in the sense of what they do to cattle with a bolt gun in a slaughterhouse) excerpt of FFJ accessible from the Wikipedia article, and there are additional and longer excerpts available on Amazon. I have held one of these original vinyl recordings in my hands. I have about in my long career twice encountered players who were similarly disillusioned about their performance abilities. Fortunately these individuals are rare. I wish I knew how they were created so I could get the US executive branch to concentrate their energy at preventing future occurences, rather than sending innocent soldiers off to die for oil. ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/c.j.l.wolf%40newcastle.ac.uk ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
Re: [Hornlist] tenor
Now this has got to be a joke. I'll grant the man an impressive range, but the technique and musicianship are horrible. Those albums he shows on his discography have got to be totally fictitious. You have to wonder how someone could work his lip up to that kind of range without working on basics. I suppose he could really be a better musician and is doing this as a joke, in which case it is rather impressive. It's hard to play that badly on purpose.

He has been through a severe car-crash, which I think made him loose his perspective, if he ever had one. The Danish Yellow Pages confirm, that his name and address are consistent with his phone number. My father never knew about this guy, even if my father was a voluntary church concert manager in Holbæk. But my father at once recognised the name of the piano player. She may not be among us any more. My father remembers her as a little grey-haired lady, so she likely was older than my father, who was born in 1917. She must have been quite old at the year of the recording, 2001. If my memory does not cheat on me, I never met her, but I remember her being one of the three klaverdamer (= pianoladies), who taught the kids in Holbæk back in my teens. My reference person for that works in Brazil, and we have not met for 30 years. The other reference persons are long gone. The wannabe singer becomes pathetic, when he asks for international sponsorships to support his career. He cites a bank account number, which does not even work within Denmark, because it has the wrong number of ciphers. Opposite to some other list members, I have not listened to all of the tracks. My ears refuse to do so. But I am happy about one personal decision done 6+ years ago. When I no longer were significantly better than my former students, then I stopped playing in public.

In fact, it sounds as though the voice part has been slowed down (LP style so lowering the pitch) Maybe played back at the right speed it would sound better.

Studentereksamen in Danish, which also means an examn qualifying for further studies. But it isnt really so any more, and regarding some studies and some attractive colleges it even back in my days was so, that one had to have a high average score. Mine allowed me to study where I wanted. It even allowed me to study musicology after my rather early retirement. That was great fun to dig down in the toolboxes of Bach and Schönberg among others. About the self-alleged singer: He maintains to have studied 6 years at a private school in Copenhagen. I tried to trace that school. It does not exist any more. The person who had given his name to that school, was a Finnish singer and pedagogue, who was born in 1880. The present singer was born some time around 1950. Some people teach into a very ripe age, but I still smell a rat. For those reading Danish the page holds a copy of an ad, where the singer asks for a good pianist, who will get the chance to boost his/hers career. The sad thing is, that in some contexts people get away with making music at this level. In some social circles music is not something to love and to understand. It only is there for snobbish reasons. The most relevant word is sad. Klaus Smedegaard Bjerre __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
