:00:16. > :00:21.a bare stage this evening save for the piano. Tonight, here in Cardiff,
:00:21. > :00:26.five singers face the daunting task of painting pictures through song.
:00:26. > :00:33.Joining me, someone who knows exactly the challenge they face, the
:00:33. > :00:37.ever exciting soprano, Daniele. challenge is to use the magic of
:00:38. > :00:41.classical song to paint passionate, musical vivid pictures. You are
:00:41. > :00:47.never more exposed than you are in a song recital. A great night lies
:00:47. > :00:57.ahead in the final of the 2013, BBC Cardiff Singer of the World song
:00:57. > :01:31.
:01:31. > :01:35.Alongside the main competition, singers have a chance to excel in
:01:35. > :01:39.the world of classical song. It's a different animal. You can be
:01:39. > :01:45.a lot more subtle with it. You could sort of add a lot more colours
:01:45. > :01:50.because you are not singing over a full orchestration. An opera singer
:01:50. > :01:55.should study a song repertory because the attention to musical
:01:55. > :02:01.nuance and colouring that you need to work on in miniature is what also
:02:01. > :02:06.helps make special a performance in opera. Since the first prize song
:02:06. > :02:11.confirm tickets, it's been a happy hunting grown for home-grown
:02:11. > :02:17.winners. Half the winners have come from the British Isles. We have
:02:17. > :02:27.famously Bryn but also Neil Davies, Chris, Andrew Kennedy, Elizabeth
:02:27. > :02:28.
:02:28. > :02:32.watts, and we can count as an honorary Brit Alish Tynan. We get to
:02:32. > :02:39.see them in a fearsome test of their abilities.
:02:39. > :02:49.In 90 my opinions' time, we'll know the name of this year's winner.
:02:49. > :02:59.
:02:59. > :03:08.Tonight's singers. Cell cell cell. Yuri Gorodetski. Jamie Barton. Ben
:03:08. > :03:13.Johnson. Olena Tokar. -- Maria Celeng.
:03:13. > :03:18.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Nearly 1500 people in St David's
:03:18. > :03:23.Hall tonight, a vast audience for the intimate art of song-making,
:03:23. > :03:27.Schubert, Britain, Bartoch and Strauss among the composers we'll
:03:27. > :03:37.hear tonight. Joining me for comment and analysis, how wonderful it is to
:03:37. > :03:42.
:03:42. > :03:46.welcome back to Cardiff, Alish Tynan who won the prize ten years ago and
:03:46. > :03:50.also Bernarda Fink. The song prize was sometimes viewed as being a
:03:50. > :03:58.runners-up prize, but by the time you won it, it developed a life of
:03:58. > :04:03.its own? The minute Bryn Terfyyll won the prize, it became the one to
:04:03. > :04:09.win. What are you going to be looking for? It's a fantastic
:04:09. > :04:17.occasion. I'm for the first time in this kind of venue and it's moving
:04:17. > :04:24.to know so many young people are wanting to sing and to sing poetry.
:04:24. > :04:31.Some wonderful of musical poetry. Lots more from both of you. Daniele
:04:31. > :04:38.will be meeting the singers later on. You know about the
:04:38. > :04:41.pre-performance nerves. How do you turn it into something useful?
:04:41. > :04:45.key to getting ready is remembering the technical work, the voice
:04:45. > :04:49.lessons, all of the preparation that comes with preparing song has
:04:49. > :04:53.already been done so it's time to put all these things aside and
:04:53. > :04:57.remember that tonight is about telling a story, communicating with
:04:57. > :05:02.the audience, communicating with the judges, showing people your very
:05:02. > :05:06.essence and your interpretation of these beautiful, beautiful songs.
:05:06. > :05:09.They're very exposing and really can show a lot about how you feel about
:05:09. > :05:13.music, so putting that aside and channels the nerves into the energy
:05:13. > :05:18.that you are going to give out to the audience is at the heart of why
:05:18. > :05:23.we are here tonight. We'll let you go backstage. The singers have
:05:23. > :05:33.already performed here in the heats in front of a distinguished jury,
:05:33. > :05:34.
:05:34. > :05:44.the German tenor, an English soprano and the jury, and a Swedish
:05:44. > :05:55.
:05:55. > :05:59.baritone. The Hungarian soprano now, already sung and I'm happy with
:05:59. > :06:06.them. It's maybe one of the most important things that your voice has
:06:06. > :06:15.to be flexible really. You have to pronounce very well. Have a very
:06:15. > :06:21.big, operatic voice. I have to keep this back, more intimate. When
:06:21. > :06:29.somebody is such a great pianist, he is of the same thinking of the
:06:29. > :06:32.music. I would like to sing in my best. When it's enough to win, of
:06:32. > :06:37.course I would like to because everyone likes but I would like to
:06:37. > :06:47.be in good shape and show what I can do, then I'm satisfied. And if I can
:06:47. > :07:16.

:17:44. > :17:51.tonight, Bernarda Fink and Ailish Tynan. Wonderful singing in
:17:51. > :17:59.Hungarian at the end? Oh, how refreshing! I just wish more of this
:17:59. > :18:06.repertory is on stage in recitals. I think it's a very good thing to have
:18:06. > :18:10.not only German and English singers, also Argentinians, hundred fairian
:18:10. > :18:14.sing singers. It's -- Hungarian singers. Something interesting
:18:14. > :18:19.happened there, there was a lot of hand movement early on and when she
:18:20. > :18:24.was singing in Hungarian, she was much stiller. I wondered if that was
:18:24. > :18:28.something to do with communicating the words? I'm always encouraging
:18:28. > :18:32.young singers to sing repertory. She totally came to life in the second
:18:32. > :18:38.of the Bartok. I felt, this is a singer, she's 25 years old, the
:18:38. > :18:44.depth of maturity of that singing and the level of commitment and the
:18:44. > :18:50.warmth that she gave us all, it's astonishing to be that good so
:18:50. > :18:56.young. Did the Debussy have the lustrousness that it needs? I think
:18:56. > :19:01.there was room for improvement of the articutation. Her body language
:19:01. > :19:07.is OK. I think she really feels what she's singing. I kneel because she's
:19:07. > :19:11.25, the top and the bottom of the voice have places to go -- I feel.
:19:11. > :19:15.That only comes with age. This isn't a sprint, this career, it's a
:19:15. > :19:23.marathon. These are all things that take time and she will grow into it.
:19:23. > :19:27.We'll hold it there. Backstage now, Maria is with Danielle.
:19:27. > :19:30.Congratulations, fantastic, expressive singer, you sang in
:19:31. > :19:35.German, French and then in your native language which was incredible
:19:35. > :19:40.to hear. How do you feel tonight? First, thank you very much for this
:19:41. > :19:44.compliment, especially from you, Danielle! Well, I felt good and I
:19:44. > :19:53.really trusted Simon, he's a wonderful pianist and musician and I
:19:53. > :19:59.always enjoy working with him and also I really enjoyed it. What about
:19:59. > :20:02.the songs? Debussy was good, but mainly that, yes.
:20:02. > :20:05.Congratulations, Maria. Thank you.

:20:52. > :21:00.because it should be the part of a singer's armoury. Pf
:21:00. > :21:10.I usually say to my students that I love performers, between an actor
:21:10. > :21:14.
:21:14. > :21:18.and a singer, that balance should be story and you've got to be able to
:21:19. > :21:28.tell a story from inside, not from outside. So it's different from the
:21:29. > :21:33.
:21:33. > :21:43.he or she can reach me and the audience with their interpretation
:21:43. > :21:49.
:21:49. > :21:54.and the most rewarding thing that you ever do when it works perfectly.
:21:54. > :21:58.When it doesn't, it's possibly one of the most scariest things you 'll

:22:13. > :22:21.night, bell Russian tenor, Yuri Here in the final, I'll start with
:22:21. > :22:25.Rachmaninov and for me, Rachmaninov is so touching, so full of feeling.

:22:35. > :22:43.
:22:43. > :22:47.and so heavy. It's a funny one. We get on stage and everybody will be

:33:55. > :34:00.World prise 2013. Tatiana Loisha the pianist for Yuri Gorodetski. They're
:34:00. > :34:04.very good friends. They both have other partners but they're very good
:34:04. > :34:10.friends. He does Ailish, the Tormented Poet
:34:10. > :34:16.very well, doesn't he? Very well. For my ear, it's a very operatic
:34:16. > :34:21.selection of songs he's chosen. The Rachmaninov and the one at the end
:34:21. > :34:26.all show off his obvious operatic talent. Morgen is a real mood song,
:34:26. > :34:31.one of the toughest mood songs there is, isn't it? I think so. Very
:34:31. > :34:37.courageous and risky to do this and I think he did it really with big
:34:37. > :34:43.control. He has something introverted, the expression and
:34:43. > :34:47.lyricism of a poet. So I would wish he'd do more lyrical songs. Again, a
:34:47. > :34:51.lovely looking lad, let's not underestimate how important that is
:34:51. > :34:54.in this career nowadays with so much of it being on cinema and
:34:54. > :34:58.television, great voice and a committed performer. Backstage to
:34:58. > :35:02.join Danielle. You must be overwhelmed after
:35:02. > :35:10.singing this incredible repertory. Are you a romantic because you have
:35:10. > :35:15.offered us such romantic composers? Yes, it's true, I'm a little bit
:35:15. > :35:18.crazy after the stage. You definitely tugged on my heart
:35:18. > :35:22.strings, picking some really beautiful, lush, romantic songs. We
:35:22. > :35:28.got to hear a lot of the range of your voice. Do you think that maybe
:35:28. > :35:32.you leave your heart in Cardiff tonight? Yeah, definitely. I left my
:35:32. > :35:35.heart on stage just right now. It's true.
:35:35. > :35:40.I think Cardiff's collected many hearts over the years. Thanks,
:35:40. > :35:43.Danielle. Now, a reminder that while the jury will decide the winner of

:36:24. > :36:29.the last Rachmaninov. It's a very, very special song. I fell in love
:36:29. > :36:35.with it the first time I heard it. It took three months for me to find
:36:35. > :36:41.the sheet music to this. Rch researchers found it after about a
:36:41. > :36:45.month. These are all songs that I feel a great connection to.

:25:51. > :25:58.so much time left to work the top and the bottom of the voice, but a
