0:01:330:01:37

-..to casting directors...

0:01:370:01:39

0:01:390:01:42

0:01:430:01:45

-.."the land of poets and singers".

0:01:450:01:48

-It says it on the tin.

0:01:480:01:50

-we get every year.

0:01:510:01:55

0:01:550:02:00

0:02:000:02:03

-..is the best in the world.

0:02:060:02:08

0:02:160:02:20

-on Monday night.

0:03:100:03:13

-Anthony Clark Evans, a 32-year-old

-baritone from America.

0:03:140:03:18

-The name, Evans, suggests

-there is a Welsh connection...

0:03:180:03:22

-..and a Welshman is his big hero.

0:03:220:03:25

-My daughter's name is Brynn

-as well.

0:03:270:03:29

-We spell it with two Ns.

0:03:290:03:31

-I'm not supposed to say it's after

-Bryn Terfel...

0:03:310:03:34

-..so it's not after Bryn Terfel.

0:03:340:03:36

-But it is.

0:03:380:03:40

-You have a magnificent voice.

-Beautiful.

0:03:400:03:42

-I appreciate that.

0:03:430:03:44

-I appreciate that.

-Fantastic.

0:03:440:03:45

-as a car salesman.

0:03:450:03:48

-a part in his personality.

-a place in the final.

0:05:220:05:26

-At the moment, the eyes of the

-world are focused on Cardiff.

0:05:280:05:32

-A few weeks ago, Gareth Bale

-and his team were here...

0:05:320:05:35

-Here we are, Elin, this is going

-to be your home for the week.

0:05:490:05:52

-How does it feel to be part of

-the Singer of the World team?

0:05:520:05:55

-Yes, "team" is the word.

0:05:560:05:57

-This is my fifth time here and

-it has a festival feel to it.

0:05:570:06:01

-It's like the Edinburgh Festival

-with flags outside...

0:06:010:06:04

-..and everybody knows

-about the competition.

0:06:040:06:07

-A lot of support tonight

-for Sioned Wyn Davies.

0:06:080:06:10

-Just looking at where

-Sioned's arrived...

0:06:110:06:13

-..that she's competing

-with the best in the world...

0:06:140:06:16

-..it fills one with pride.

0:06:170:06:18

-Yes. It's always hard on the person

-from Wales...

0:06:190:06:22

-..because they've won a competition

-to be here.

0:06:220:06:24

-Everyone else is chosen.

0:06:250:06:27

-It's added pressure.

0:06:270:06:29

-Whatever happens, this is a chance

-for her to show her skills...

0:06:290:06:33

-..her strengths, where she is

-with her repertoire...

0:06:330:06:36

-..where she wants to go.

0:06:360:06:38

-She can feel comfortable

-because this is her home...

0:06:380:06:41

-..and be quite confident.

0:06:410:06:43

-Yes, Tuesday night is the

0:06:460:06:49

-Up against her is one of

-the favourites -

0:06:500:06:52

-Ariunbaatar Ganbaatar

-from Mongolia.

0:06:530:06:56

-Ceri, as a friend who's come here

-to support Sioned...

0:06:580:07:02

-..how does it feel

-from your perspective?

0:07:030:07:05

-Exciting.

0:07:060:07:07

-I'm so proud

-because I'm her friend.

0:07:070:07:10

-Sioned has worked so, so hard

-but at the same time...

0:07:100:07:14

-..Sioned's still Sioned,

-she still makes me laugh...

0:07:140:07:17

-..she's still herself

-and I admire her so much.

0:07:180:07:21

-I've had the pleasure of seeing

-Sioned develop as a singer...

0:07:220:07:26

-..over ten years.

0:07:260:07:27

-When we talk about it she feels

-all her preparations...

0:07:270:07:31

-..have made her ready

-for this huge competition.

0:07:310:07:34

-I'm just so proud of her.

0:07:350:07:37

-Despite living in Glasgow now,

-her heart is in Wales.

0:07:370:07:42

-Not many people can say they've

-represented their country.

0:07:420:07:46

-Especially with singing.

0:07:460:07:48

-Singing is so important to us

-in Wales.

0:07:480:07:51

-I hope I'll make everybody

-proud of me.

0:07:510:07:55

-# And all of Lucretia's shame... #

0:07:560:07:59

-The day after I won the competition

-last year...

0:07:590:08:02

-..and I knew I'd be competing

-in Singer of the World...

0:08:020:08:06

-..I started thinking about

-what I'd sing.

0:08:060:08:09

-I wanted to sing

-things that I enjoyed...

0:08:100:08:13

-..but I wanted to sing

-emotional pieces...

0:08:140:08:16

-..and pieces that

-were fun to sing.

0:08:170:08:19

-A gut thing, give him this orchid.

0:08:190:08:21

-A gut thing, give him this orchid.

-

-OK.

0:08:210:08:22

-I'm looking forward to stepping

-on to the stage...

0:08:230:08:26

-..and show what I've been

-working on for a year.

0:08:260:08:29

-And also after ten years of hard

-work to reach this standard...

0:08:290:08:33

-..this is what I want to show them.

0:08:340:08:37

-After the dedication put in

-for this competition...

0:08:370:08:40

-..the moment has arrived and

-the stage is ready for Sioned.

0:08:400:08:44

-But more than that, Sioned is more

-than ready to represent Wales.

0:08:440:08:48

-Good luck.

0:08:480:08:50

-APPLAUSE

0:08:520:08:54

-# Flowers bring to every year

0:09:070:09:12

0:09:210:09:25

-# Their thief. #

0:10:050:10:08

-Excellent. Excellent.

0:10:100:10:12

-Did you feel the warmth

-of the audience?

0:10:140:10:17

-I have to admit,

-I felt their nerves.

0:10:180:10:20

-There were a few, oh, here we go.

0:10:200:10:22

-I just wanted everyone...

0:10:220:10:24

-I think everybody wanted me

-to do so well...

0:10:240:10:27

-..that everybody held their breath.

0:10:270:10:30

-The best thing was in

-the Lucretia piece.

0:10:300:10:33

-It was so quiet and the silence

-continued...

0:10:330:10:37

-..so I had to hold the note

-and the conductor held it...

0:10:370:10:41

-..and nobody interrupted it

-at the end.

0:10:410:10:43

-I was like,

-"Come on, I need some water."

0:10:440:10:47

-When you think of everybody that's

-watching you, all of Wales...

0:10:470:10:51

-..these shoulders have carried

-that pressure brilliantly.

0:10:510:10:55

-But you have.

0:10:550:10:57

-I'm going to take these shoulders

-to the bar now!

0:10:570:11:00

-Gin?

0:11:000:11:01

-Gin?

-

-Of course.

0:11:010:11:03

-Yes.

0:18:190:18:20

-I thought she had real charisma

-on the night.

0:18:210:18:24

-She moved through the levels

-throughout her programme.

0:18:240:18:28

-She brought so much more to the

-performance compared to rehearsal.

0:18:280:18:32

-From your point of view, did you

-hit every note? Everything alright?

0:18:320:18:36

-Yes, thank goodness! Just got to

-practice for the final now.

0:18:360:18:40

-See you there.

0:18:400:18:42

-Although the main concerts

-are held in the city centre...

0:18:420:18:47

-..this event spreads out and offers

-fringe events...

0:18:470:18:51

-..right across the city.

0:18:510:18:53

-One of these is a masterclass

-with Tim Rhys-Evans.

0:18:530:18:58

-# One, two, three, four, five,

-four, three, two, one... #

0:19:010:19:04

-This morning, I gave the audience

-a taste...

0:19:040:19:07

-..of how much detail

-goes into preparing...

0:19:080:19:11

-..an operatic chorus.

0:19:110:19:13

-So, just talking about breathing

-and Italian musical matters.

0:19:140:19:19

-It was a lovely morning.

0:19:210:19:23

-Looking forward to this evening

-and it's a big one.

0:19:260:19:30

0:19:300:19:32

-from Round 4...

0:19:320:19:37

-..as well as that element,

-the Wild Card.

0:19:370:19:40

-I listened to rehearsals

-this afternoon...

0:19:410:19:43

-..and tonight's round

0:19:440:19:46

-singers have congregated here...

0:22:580:23:03

-..and are chatting to each other

-on this special night.

0:23:040:23:07

-The judges have a difficult job,

-not only are they choosing...

0:23:080:23:12

-..tonight's winner, but they are

-also choosing the wild card...

0:23:120:23:17

-to go on to the final.

0:23:170:23:20

-his place in the final.

0:24:030:24:07

-Llyr, how did it go?

0:30:050:30:07

-Very well, on the whole. I felt

-she did exceptionally well.

0:30:080:30:11

-She's a very intelligent singer and

-finds all sorts of unusual songs.

0:30:110:30:17

-We've never had anything

-quite like that before.

0:30:180:30:21

-It's atonal and doesn't

-have chords...

0:30:210:30:24

-..as we might recognize

-in most music.

0:30:240:30:27

-It's difficult to pitch

-those kinds of songs.

0:30:270:30:32

-She's spot on with her pitch.

0:30:320:30:34

-As well as Catriona you're also

-accompanying Ariunbaatar Ganbaatar.

0:30:410:30:46

-He's completely different

-to Catriona.

0:30:460:30:49

-Catriona is so subtle and

-Aruinbaatar is what I'd call...

0:30:500:30:53

-..an old-fashioned type of singer

-who just stands up and sings...

0:30:540:30:58

-..not subtle at all.

0:30:580:31:00

-What I'd describe as using

-Concorde to spray crops!

0:31:010:31:06

-His voice is so big...

0:31:060:31:07

-..and he sings some of these songs

-which aren't really suitable.

0:31:070:31:12

-I think we'll have some fun.

0:31:120:31:14

-A new interpretation of Schubert

-and Faure.

0:43:380:43:40

-Wow, what a concert.

0:43:420:43:44

-And it was a concert.

0:43:440:43:46

-And it was a concert.

-

-It was.

0:43:460:43:47

-Of course it's a competition

-but the standard...

0:43:470:43:50

-I enjoyed the entire evening.

-It was brilliant.

0:43:510:43:54

-It's been the highpoint

-and pinnacle...

0:43:550:43:57

-..of a long and intense

-week of fantastic singing.

0:43:570:44:00

-That's what I expected and that's

-what we got. Nobody let us down.

0:44:000:44:04

-Ariunbaatar Ganbaatar

-from Mongolia...

0:44:050:44:07

-..you could just drown

-in his voice.

0:44:080:44:10

-But maybe he was a bit tired

-tonight.

0:44:110:44:14

-And we saw different elements

-from him tonight.

0:44:140:44:17

-We saw a bit of comedy, romance.

0:44:170:44:20

-We got Verdi in the round

-and this was lighter...

0:44:200:44:23

-..but the same high standard.

0:44:240:44:26

-Next, Louise.

0:44:260:44:28

-Perfection,

-to be completely honest.

0:44:280:44:30

-Perfection. A polished performance.

0:44:310:44:33

-It was glossy, it was polished,

-heart, emotion. Not one wrong note.

0:44:330:44:37

-That's what you call a perfect

-performance and real singing.

0:44:370:44:41

-I just love Louise.

0:44:410:44:43

-I'm the number one fan now.

-Besties all the way.

0:44:440:44:47

-Besties!

0:44:470:44:49

-I hope you're not jealous.

0:44:490:44:51

-You're mine, love.

0:44:510:44:54

-Then we had Kang Wang.

0:44:560:44:57

-Well, Kang Wang,

-he's a gorgeous person.

0:44:580:45:02

-He's got such a warm voice

-and he's so open.

0:45:020:45:06

-He wants to share the voice

-and music...

0:45:070:45:10

-..with everyone who's listening.

0:45:100:45:13

-Yes, and he sings from his soul.

0:45:130:45:15

-I loved what he did,

-the Rodolfo especially.

0:45:160:45:19

-I've got a bit of a crush on

-Kang Wang!

0:45:190:45:22

-Not just you!

0:45:220:45:24

-Representing Scotland then

-was Catriona Morison.

0:45:260:45:30

-And we had a very different

-programme.

0:45:310:45:33

-Who's seen Purcell in the Singer

-of the World final? I loved it.

0:45:330:45:37

-Very emotional and clever singing.

0:45:370:45:39

-This type of singing hits your head

-and your heart.

0:45:400:45:43

-Catriona gave us more variety in

-this competition...

0:45:430:45:47

-..than anyone else.

0:45:470:45:49

-The final singer just stole the

-hearts of the audience members.

0:45:500:45:54

-He has a very unique voice.

0:45:540:45:57

-The top of his voice,

-the baritone...

0:45:570:46:00

-..with the A flat at the end

-of the Pagliacci.

0:46:000:46:03

-His is the voice

-that I will remember.

0:46:030:46:05

-He did a good job of selling

-his heart to the audience.

0:46:060:46:09

-To summarize, do the judges

-have a difficult choice?

0:46:100:46:13

-Definitely.

0:46:130:46:14

-Definitely.

-

-Impossible.

0:46:140:46:16

-I had my favourites

-but I've been wrong all week.

0:46:160:46:19

-That's what I'm like.

0:46:190:46:21

-We'll see tonight, once again.

0:46:210:46:24

-Before announcing the name

-of the winner...

0:46:240:46:27

-..who's won the Audience Prize?

0:46:270:46:29

-The winner of the Audience Prize

-and a cheque for 2,500...

0:46:300:46:34

-..is Louise Alder.

0:46:350:46:39

-CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

0:46:460:46:48

-The audience fell in love with the

-soprano from England.

0:46:500:46:54

-the main trophy?

0:46:560:46:58

-The winner of the

-Cardiff Singer of the World...

0:47:000:47:03

-..from Scotland.

0:47:050:47:07

-In a competition that reached

-new heights...

0:47:250:47:28
