-Many prominent Welsh figures... | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
-..have studied at the -Guildhall School of Music & Drama. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:31 | |
-They include Rhys Meirion, Gwyn -Hughes Jones, Sir Geraint Evans... | 0:00:31 | 0:00:36 | |
-..and the tenor, David Lloyd. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
-In 1984, -the college opened its doors... | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
-..to a young, promising singer -from Pant Glas in Gwynedd. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:47 | |
-I came to see him a fortnight -after he had enrolled. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:51 | |
-SINGING | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
-You've heard the voice before -and will recognize the face. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:00 | |
-Bryn Terfel Jones -is at the Guildhall in London... | 0:01:00 | 0:01:04 | |
-..near the famous Barbican Centre. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
-He's currently in a lesson. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
-I'll have to do what he's done -for many years and wait! | 0:01:09 | 0:01:13 | |
-You've been here for a month. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
-Are you enjoying yourself? | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
-The first week was difficult -as I felt homesick. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:22 | |
-By the second week, I'd found my -feet and started talking to people. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:27 | |
-I've made a lot of friends. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
-Do you miss Pant Glas? | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
-Do you miss Pant Glas? - -Yes, I do. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:33 | |
-I'd wake up in Pant Glas to the -sound of birds, cattle and sheep... | 0:01:33 | 0:01:39 | |
-..but I now wake -to the sound of cars and lorries... | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
-..and I'm surrounded by buildings. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
-It's worlds apart. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:46 | |
-I don't know about you but I can't -believe that 30 years have passed... | 0:01:47 | 0:01:53 | |
-..since we had that interview. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
-You were a young man -of 19 years old. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
-Was it 1984? | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
-Was it 1984? - -Yes, 1984. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
-It was probably -my third or fourth week in London. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:09 | |
-I struggled in the first fortnight -as I felt very homesick... | 0:02:09 | 0:02:15 | |
-..but you adjust -when you make friends. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
-I had an innocence -during my audition... | 0:02:19 | 0:02:24 | |
-..but there was also a performer. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
-I learnt my craft at an early age... | 0:02:28 | 0:02:32 | |
-..thanks to the Eisteddfod stage... | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
-..where you get to perform -in front of an audience. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
-It simply endorsed my choice -of going to London. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:44 | |
-It was very difficult -for my parents... | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
-..to find the money -to pay for my course. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:51 | |
-I won a scholarship -from the Guildhall... | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
-..but if there was any innocence -in that young man... | 0:02:54 | 0:02:59 | |
-..there was certainly confidence -as a performer on the stage. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:05 | |
-It was this confidence... | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
-..that gave me the courage -to remain in London for five years. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:13 | |
-Arthur Reckless -was one of my teachers. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:17 | |
-This 88-year-old man -taught me for three years. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:21 | |
-He looked after my voice. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
-He was my best friend -at the Guildhall. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:27 | |
-Let's try bree-bray-brain-bra. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:33 | |
-Join them together in an even tone -and let's see what you can do. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:37 | |
-# Bree-bray-bra, -bree-bray-bra, bree-bray-bra... # | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |
-I was like a kid in a candy store -or a toy shop. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:47 | |
-It was all very new. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
-There were songs from operas -and new languages to comprehend. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:54 | |
-These things were ingrained in you -as a young singer. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:59 | |
-The artist is able to use -a variety of shades. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:04 | |
-It all fell into place with -every year that passed in London. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:10 | |
-By the fifth year... | 0:04:10 | 0:04:13 | |
-..I had started -winning competitions... | 0:04:13 | 0:04:17 | |
-..whereas in the early years, -I'd won nothing at the Guildhall. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
-I wondered if I'd made -the right decision. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
-I told myself -that I had to stay and work hard... | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
-..and go to the library -to borrow the musical scores... | 0:04:29 | 0:04:33 | |
-..and listen to the singers. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
-I had to learn about the profession -that I was going into. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:40 | |
-Somehow or other, it all fell -into place in the fifth year. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:45 | |
-It took enough time to do so! | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
-If you were -the world's best boxer... | 0:04:48 | 0:04:51 | |
-..as opposed to -the world's best baritone... | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
-..you'd be out running at 6.00am, -take extra care with your diet... | 0:04:54 | 0:04:59 | |
-..and train in the afternoon. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
-How do you spend your time? | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
-Do you do a lot of training? | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
-My mindset is totally different -to your view of me. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:11 | |
-I don't consider myself as the -best bass baritone in the world. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:16 | |
-I prefer to think of myself -as a hard worker... | 0:05:16 | 0:05:19 | |
-..who is kind -to my fellow performers. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:24 | |
-I have to learn something new -every day. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:28 | |
-I could be rehearsing -in an opera house. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:31 | |
-When you're performing -in an opera... | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
-..you tend to rehearse every day -and might have a Sunday off. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:38 | |
-I found it very difficult -to take time off at the start. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
-As a young man, -I liked the offers that came my way. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:48 | |
-I tended to accept every offer. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:52 | |
-I was spread -rather finely everywhere. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:56 | |
-I'd agree to go to New York, -Paris, Milan or London. | 0:05:56 | 0:06:02 | |
-But, you learn from your mistakes -and make changes accordingly... | 0:06:02 | 0:06:08 | |
-..but I think I've managed to find -the perfect balance now. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:13 | |
-# O gente! | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
-# Questa matta bizzarria | 0:06:16 | 0:06:20 | |
-# Che mi zampilla nella fantasia | 0:06:20 | 0:06:25 | |
-# E tale da sfidar... # | 0:06:25 | 0:06:31 | |
-I'll never forget -what Sir Geraint Evans said... | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
-..in terms of the roles -that I would play after him... | 0:06:35 | 0:06:41 | |
-..such as Leporello in Don Giovanni -or Falstaff by Verdi. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:46 | |
-It's very difficult -to fill the shoes... | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
-..of such a charismatic personality. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:52 | |
-Sir Geraint turned heads -whenever he walked into a room. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:57 | |
-He had a head of perfectly trimmed, -fine, white hair. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:02 | |
-He was always immaculate. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
-The first thing he said was, -"buy a new suit, Bryn." | 0:07:04 | 0:07:08 | |
-I must have looked awful! | 0:07:08 | 0:07:10 | |
-But he belonged to that generation. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:16 | |
-I learnt a lot from him. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
-He told me to cut my hair. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:22 | |
-"Yes, alright." | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
-He was a god in my eyes -and I worshipped him. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
-# Ah, bravo Figaro! -Bravo, bravissimo! Bravo! | 0:07:27 | 0:07:31 | |
-# La la la la la la la la! | 0:07:31 | 0:07:34 | |
-# Fortunatissimo per verita! -Presto! | 0:07:34 | 0:07:37 | |
-# La la la la la la la la! # | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
-It's amazing to think -that he took the time... | 0:07:41 | 0:07:45 | |
-..to phone one of the greatest -conductors of that period. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:51 | |
-Doors would open for you -if you worked for that man. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
-He was Sir Georg Solti. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:57 | |
-He phoned Solti and asked him -to listen to this young man. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:02 | |
-I went to him with Bryan Davies. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
-Bryan Davies played at the -Eisteddfod and was from Ferndale. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:09 | |
-He was a dumpy little man... | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
-..who smoked a cigarette -when he was nervous. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
-He smoked six cigarettes -before we went into Solti's house. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:20 | |
-He was entering the home of a man... | 0:08:20 | 0:08:24 | |
-..who he had watched and studied -for many years. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:29 | |
-He played fantastically on that day -for my audition. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:35 | |
-I walked into Solti's music room -and there were almost 60 Grammys. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:41 | |
-He had more than Michael Jackson! | 0:08:41 | 0:08:43 | |
-There were two Steinway pianos -and Bryan Davies was in his element. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:49 | |
-Sir Geraint was responsible -for that amazing opportunity. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:55 | |
-He got the ball rolling. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
-You said that you worshipped -Sir Geraint... | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
-..and the young singers of Wales -worship you today. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
-You've recently established -a new record company... | 0:09:07 | 0:09:11 | |
-..in part to help emerging talent. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
-Yes, that's right. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:15 | |
-Universal has made an announcement. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
-I'm not sure if they plan -to record less in the future... | 0:09:19 | 0:09:24 | |
-..or do something different -in terms of choosing performers... | 0:09:24 | 0:09:30 | |
-..whether they are singers, -instrumentalists... | 0:09:30 | 0:09:34 | |
-..or Welsh folk groups. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
-I'll choose three artists -in this coming year. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:41 | |
-But there's a lot of other things -happening too. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:45 | |
-A hall in Bangor -is being named after me. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
-I've thought a lot about this. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:53 | |
-It's massive and I've never had -anything like it before. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:58 | |
-I don't know why anyone would want -to name a theatre after me. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:04 | |
-Bangor was the place where I had -most of my singing lessons... | 0:10:04 | 0:10:09 | |
-..did my singing exams, -did every pre-lim for the Urdd... | 0:10:09 | 0:10:13 | |
-..and the Urdd Eisteddfod -at PJ Hall. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:16 | |
-There have been concerts -at Theatr Gwynedd, the cathedral... | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
-..PJ Hall and Powys Hall. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
-I made my first Classical record -at Powys Hall. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:26 | |
-I suspect Bangor, as a town... | 0:10:27 | 0:10:30 | |
-..did more for my early career -than any other place. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:35 | |
-I also enjoyed nine years -of the Faenol Festival... | 0:10:35 | 0:10:40 | |
-..but that was held outside Bangor. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
-It was very important -on a regional level... | 0:10:43 | 0:10:47 | |
-..but also on a personal level. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
-I was able to invite various artists -to perform alongside. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:55 | |
-Locals could say that they'd seen -a tenor singing in North Wales... | 0:10:55 | 0:11:00 | |
-..who was now appearing in New York. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
-They could put two and two together. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
-I've met a number of people -during my career... | 0:11:05 | 0:11:09 | |
-..who have been influential... | 0:11:09 | 0:11:13 | |
-..such as Jose Carreras -and Placido Domingo. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:18 | |
-Placido will remember your name even -if he met you ten years previously. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:23 | |
-What a memory! | 0:11:24 | 0:11:25 | |
-He's such an iconic figure. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:28 | |
-Any singer -worth their weight in gold... | 0:11:28 | 0:11:32 | |
-..is going admire such a man -and learn from the greats. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:36 | |
-I've worked with -conductors and orchestras... | 0:11:37 | 0:11:42 | |
-..in various halls and opera houses. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
-I think I've taken everything -graciously. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:50 | |
-Few things have made me nervous to -the extent where I wouldn't do them. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:55 | |
-I've been very lucky. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:57 | |
-This is my closing question. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:00 | |
-Your diary is full -for the next five years... | 0:12:00 | 0:12:04 | |
-..but does Wales make a regular -appearance in your five-year-diary? | 0:12:04 | 0:12:10 | |
-Will you have the opportunity -to sing in your theatre in Bangor... | 0:12:10 | 0:12:16 | |
-..and at the Millennium Centre -in Cardiff? | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
-Yes, I will. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:21 | |
-Is that still important for you? | 0:12:21 | 0:12:23 | |
-Ideas are always -being batted around... | 0:12:23 | 0:12:26 | |
-..but it has to coincide -with my operatic career. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:30 | |
-It's most important to be successful -on the operatic stage. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:35 | |
-# Ah, bravo Figaro! -Bravo, bravissimo! | 0:12:36 | 0:12:38 | |
-# A te fortuna, -a te fortuna non Manchera | 0:12:38 | 0:12:41 | |
-# La la la li la la -la la la li la la | 0:12:41 | 0:12:44 | |
-# A te fortuna, -a te fortuna non Manchera | 0:12:44 | 0:12:47 | |
-# Sono il factotum della citta | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |

-I wish you all the best -for everything you want to achieve. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:17 | |
-Thank you for chatting with me. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
-Thank you and good luck to you -for the next 50 years. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:24 | |
-What do you hope to do after that? | 0:13:24 | 0:13:27 | |
-I hope to follow in the footsteps -of the great man himself... | 0:13:27 | 0:13:31 | |
-..namely Sir Geraint. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:33 | |
-I would love to make a living -out of singing. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
-You could end up singing -at Covent Garden. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:40 | |
-That would be amazing. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |
-I was at the Royal Albert Hall -for the 1,000 Voices... | 0:13:42 | 0:13:46 | |
-..and I really wanted to run -onto the stage and start singing. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:52 | |
-I had to stop myself. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:54 | |
-I'm delighted -to meet you again, Bryn. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
-Good luck to you. | 0:13:57 | 0:13:59 | |
-Good luck to you. - -Thank you. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:00 | |
-I'll stay in London for -the next part of the programme... | 0:14:01 | 0:14:05 | |
-..to chat with -a talented harpist... | 0:14:05 | 0:14:07 | |
-..who I originally met -over 30 years ago in 1981. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:12 | |
-Since those days, she has carved out -a successful career. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:17 | |
-We'll enjoy her talents -in a few minutes. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:20 | |
-Don't go anywhere! | 0:14:20 | 0:14:22 | |

-It was 1981... | 0:14:31 | 0:14:32 | |
-..and the harpist, Sioned Williams, -showed us her skill on the harp... | 0:14:33 | 0:14:37 | |
-..but had a few problems -with her fingers at the start. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:41 | |
-I went to Cardiff after studying -the harp for eight years. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:46 | |
-I arrived and had lessons -with Elinor Bennett. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:50 | |
-In my first lesson, I was told I was -musical but couldn't play the harp. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:55 | |
-What was wrong with your technique? | 0:14:55 | 0:14:58 | |
-I played with rounded fingers. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:01 | |
-They were totally rounded. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:03 | |
-I plucked the strings -and only slightly moved my fingers. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:08 | |
-It meant that I wasn't getting -the full sound from the string. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:12 | |
-You should relax after pulling -the string and making the sound. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:17 | |
-You teach yourself to relax. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:19 | |
-It isn't easy to make the movement -and then totally relax. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:24 | |
-Sioned has enjoyed -a successful career in London. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:28 | |
-She's worked with famous conductors -and composers... | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
-..and has performed -with the city's best orchestras... | 0:15:33 | 0:15:36 | |
-..such as the London Philharmonia -and the London Sinfonietta. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:41 | |
-She's been principal harp with the -BBC Symphony Orchestra since 1990. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:46 | |
-There's obviously nothing wrong -with your fingers now! | 0:15:46 | 0:15:50 | |
-I hope not. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:52 | |
-The sound depends on your technique. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
-You should be powerful, yet relaxed. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:57 | |
-It depends on the way you practice. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:00 | |
-It also depends on your health. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:03 | |
-You have an illness that makes -it difficult to play the harp. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:07 | |
-Yes, it's difficult all the time -but I have to ignore it. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:14 | |
-It's called McArdles disease. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:16 | |
-It falls in the same category -as Muscular Dystrophy. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:20 | |
-It affects my whole life... | 0:16:20 | 0:16:25 | |
-..but specifically affects -the skeletal muscle. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:29 | |
-I compare it to a car -running out of petrol. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:35 | |
-It judders along. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:37 | |
-It's difficult to describe. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:40 | |
-It does affect me but -playing the harp has been fantastic. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:44 | |
-It enables me to do something that -I never thought would be possible. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:50 | |
-You were an international soloist -who toured the world. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:54 | |
-What made you choose -to join the orchestra? | 0:16:55 | 0:16:58 | |
-Since 1990... | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
-..I've thought I should -mingle with other musicians... | 0:17:01 | 0:17:06 | |
-..who played -different instruments... | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
-..as well as composers -and conductors. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:12 | |
-I was invited to play with the BBC -Symphony Orchestra as a freelance. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:17 | |
-Some musicians don't like -their contemporary repertoire. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:22 | |
-Pierre Boulez -was their chief conductor. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:26 | |
-I started under him -and played a lot for him. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:30 | |
-This position came up... | 0:17:31 | 0:17:33 | |
-..and wondered if it was the -right time to apply for such a post. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:38 | |
-I didn't expect to get the job -because I was a soloist. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:42 | |
-But I got the job -and have been there for 24 years. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:47 | |
-It has a massive repertoire. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:49 | |
-We play something new all the time. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
-Every note I've played with -the orchestra has been on Radio 3. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:57 | |
-The Proms in the summer -are fantastic. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:00 | |
-People tire after one Prom -whereas I perform in 14 of them! | 0:18:00 | 0:18:06 | |
-I've travelled the world -with the orchestra... | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
-..and have been allowed to enjoy -a solo career too. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:13 | |
-I doubt that would happen -in other orchestras. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:16 | |
-You're going to be incredibly busy -in 2014. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:39 | |
-I've devised something -called Sioned's Spiralling 60th. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:44 | |
-My life is often -spiralling out of control! | 0:18:44 | 0:18:47 | |
-I hope it shows -the various aspects of my life... | 0:18:47 | 0:18:52 | |
-..and my role as a performer. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:55 | |
-I'll do a concert for the charity -that's linked with my illness. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:59 | |
-It encompasses every aspect of -my personal and professional life. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:05 | |
-I hope to stay in the orchestra... | 0:19:06 | 0:19:09 | |
-..and perform more concertos. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:12 | |
-I'd like to make more records -but don't have much time to do that. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:18 | |
-I hope this year takes my life -into a new direction... | 0:19:18 | 0:19:22 | |
-..whilst performing -in the orchestra. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:25 | |
