  Thomas Hampson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thomas Hampson (October 28, 1907 – September 4, 1965) was a British athlete, winner of the 800 m at the 1932 Summer Olympics.
Hampson, a native of Clapham (London), didn't take up running seriously until the last year of his studies at Oxford University.
That made him one of the top favourites for the 800 m gold at the 1932 Olympics, held in Los Angeles, especially since world record holder Ben Eastman was not running the 800 m, concentrating on the 400 m instead.

Paul Henry Pilgrim (October 26, 1883 - January 8, 1958) was an American athlete, winner of three gold medals at the 1904 and 1906 Summer Olympics.
He travelled to Athens by his own hand, therefore missing the great wave, that washed over the deck of the ship in Gibraltar, on which the rest of the US Olympic Team travelled.
The wave injured about half-dozen athletes aboard the deck, including Harry Hillman, a big favourite in 400 m.

Hampson chose, tensions between high and low art were alien: most drew their expressive power from the way simple, almost rustic melodies served the polished texts.
Hampson and his pianist, Craig Rutenberg, played with coloration and texture in a way that illuminated the topography of Beethoven's almost pictorial response to Alois Jeitteles's cycle.
Hampson began the American half of the program with a selection of Charles Ives songs, among them "The Housatonic at Stockbridge," a subtle rendering of "Thoreau" and a vividly illustrative account of "Memories A and B." These have become staples of the recital repertory lately, but Mr.

It was, in sum, a big-hearted reading of this symphony in every way; it benefited immeasurably from being performed by young people to whom this piece is brand-new, and being conducted by a man whose musicianship remains in a perpetual state of willingness to be overtaken by delight.
Thomas preceded the playing with a discussion of how the music was originally written at a time of fierce intellectual tumult, with new ideas from Freud, Einstein and the Second Viennese School itself.
While the Mahler and Schubert were distinguished by a generous approach, the Webern was a well-realized opportunity for the orchestra and Thomas to present a carefully thought-out, intense exercise in exactitude, and that suits the music admirably.

One might suspect that Thomas Hampson, famous for his high seriousness and dramatic projection, is slumming, but his glorious voice, superb vocalism, incredibly clear German diction, and infectious enjoyment give even the corniest arias a persuasive authenticity, despite occasional musical exaggerations and a certain intellectual overrefinement alien to the carefree, spontaneous Viennese idiom.
He varies the inevitable reprise of the first verse with great imagination and vocal resourcefulness, including a magical mezza voce and a triumphantly ringing top, and captures the simplicity, piquant charm, humor, and parody of both the words and the melody.

For young singers, the Merola program is about more than learning to vocalize; the San Francisco Opera's prestigious 11-week training program is a kind of boot camp for artists on the verge of professional careers.
Since then, Merola and the company's advanced Adler Fellowship program have launched the careers of singers including Susan Graham, Dolora Zajick, Thomas Hampson and Deborah Voigt (who returns to star in the company's season-opening "Un Ballo in Maschera" next month).
Among this year's Merola participants -- or "Merolini," as they're called within the company -- are 23 singers, four apprentice coaches and one apprentice stage director.

I sometimes think one would have to be an athlete to maintain the level of energy expended here by Bernstein in his often driving yet still sensitive account of the great Mahler Sixth.
To cap it off, there is an absolutely jarring "hammer" crash at the close, though there is disagreement in regard to how powerful that final crushing blow should sound.
As to the Kindertotenlieder filler, also from Vienna in 1988, the young Thomas Hampson can't rival his female counterparts--Christa Ludwig, Janet Baker and Kathleen Ferrier--but he has far more warmth and emotional impact than Fischer-Dieskau, his closest rival among the men.
