♦The Swan ♦

The figure of the Swan (Der Schwan) in the Carmina Burana is of special relevance.

Carl Orff composed a very sharp aria for tenor with extremely  notes … 3 x c5, 3 x d5 and 9 X Si4 … all composed of three strophes. Orff thought and wrote the aria for a tenor (not a countertenor who sings in falsetto). In 1937 (year of composition of the work) the figure of the countertenor in the world opera scene had not yet resurfaced. It was the English countertenor Alfred Deller who rescued in the 1940s (later to the composition of the Carmina Burana).

STADTHALLE HEIDELBERG

The spanish Tenor Joaquín Asiáin fascinated in his role as a fried swan. He did not use his hands to keep the notes, but with powerful gestures underlined and illustrated the text.

GREIZ-VOGTLAND PHILHARMONIC

NUEVO LEON THEATER – MONTERREY (MEXICO)

The Spanish tenore di grazia Joaquín Asiáin has a not very frequently heard voice in Monterrey. Its timbre of light texture and unbelievable ease for the high tessitura combined with an impressive scenic capacity, is considered a treat for the connoisseur.
