	Vocal Fach
		When a singer comes to me trying to make the transition up to a higher fach, I have two words to say: "BE CAREFUL!" I have seen so many ruined throats from singers trying to be a tenor or soprano when they were actually a lower-voiced singer.
		It can also be difficult on the voice for a singer to be singing as a lower-voiced singer when in all actuality they are a higher singer.
		Singers who sing higher tesitura and are a lower voice usually suffer from a high larynx position.

	Thomas Hampson sings Mahler's 'Des Knaben Wunderhorn', appreciated by Tess Crebbin. '... a stunning visual and auditory ...
		The allegorical aspects of the Wunderhorn songs are explained on their prophetic merit, in interviews with Hampson, and it is these allegorical associations he seeks to bring across with his performance that is always part oration, part song.
		It is a hoot, but Hampson is dead serious about a donkey having to sound like a donkey, whether it is in a Mahler song or not.
		Hampson is so gifted at 'selling' the wonders of Mahler that, so long as you are human and dealing with the normal problems that humans are facing, you are likely to get something out of this performance and to see Mahler with new eyes.

		Being the highly intelligent man and musician that he is, Hampson also made sure that the songs mirrored in theme, situation, or mood the songs of war and/or parting by Beethoven and Mahler that he sang in the first half of the program.
		The singer's voice was, as always, high, wide, and Hampson, across a wide range of notes and dynamics, and he invested every phrase with intent.
		Hampson got off to a less satisfactory start with a rather precious performance of Beethoven's "An die Ferne Geliebte," forever pulling behind and rushing ahead, over an accompaniment played by Wolfgang Rieger with the piano lid all the way up, the soft pedal all the way down.

	Baritone Hampson's voice, career go deep / Performance at Herbst finds singer on top
		When baritone Thomas Hampson is at the top of his game, there's just no touching him.
		The splendors of Hampson's artistry have become familiar over the years, yet they never pall: the robust, burnished tone, the extraordinarily precise diction, the gift for imparting a cogent dramatic shape to even the most inert material.
		Hampson sounded tender and direct in John Jacob Niles' classic "Black is the color of my true love's hair," then bulked up vocally for "Shenandoah" and Copland's arrangement of "The boatmen's dance." "Long time ago" and "The Ee-ri-ee is risin' " were the lyrical and lusty encores.

		But a singer who has substantial training as a pianist is, perhaps, not the best thing to happen to an accompanist because then he tends to be easier on you.
		With Thomas Hampson, for instance, I know that at a point where I may need to start worrying with another singer, I am still very far from even having to think of worrying with him.
		In the recent Munich concert with Thomas Hampson, for instance, there were two Lieder that we did in different keys: one by Liszt and one by Strauss.

		Hampson is an absolutely first-rate actor without being hammy (although there have been some who criticize him in this regard, I am not one of them; I believe that he so truly believes what he is singing that his acting is, rather, 'being').
		Hampson is lucky to have found such a sensitive collaborator.
		There is no question that Hampson is one of our very finest recitalists, and this team of Hampson and Rieger deserves to be considered in the same light as such legendary partnerships as, say, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and Gerald Moore.
