Barcelona Olympics Closing Ceremony--the extinguishing of the Olympic Flame with world famous Spanish/Catalan soprano Victoria de los Angeles,in her 70th year, and Luis Claret cellist, performing 'El cant dels ocells', as the Flame dies.
A well deserved honour to both of them. The melancholy of the folk song, reflects accurately the sadness of the Closing of the Barcelona Games.
A most moving occasion.The voice, cello, silence from the audience, and the dying Flame.

saltlakecity2002 I'm very sorry I don't have the Atlanta segment. I primarily recorded the Barcelona segment because Victoria de los Angeles would be singing while the flame is extinguished. A great world famous Spanish/Catalan soprano who carried the warmth and smiling face of Spain to the world, post war, when international politics, and many governments were reluctant to bring Spain in from the international wilderness.

She showed many of us(the people of the world), by her art,and her world tours in opera houses, recital halls, and recordings, that Spain had a long and noble tradition of friendship towards others.The folksong is one of longing, and sadness, reflecting the pain of Spanish/Catalan people who wished merely to return to their country, but for many reasons were unable to do so. I would think that is why 'El cant dels ocells' was chosen to be sung by this Musical Lady of Spain.

She was the best soprano of Spain.
No hem sabut valorar mai el que hem tingut. Realment una dona excepcional, i una senyora del cap als peus. Victoria descansa en pau i amb el mestre Casals.

Thankyou all so much. This Spanish Lady was a musician to the tips of her toes. Even when she was past her 'vocal prime' her power of communication remained.The voice changed, but remained bewitching and reliable, within it's register.Her singing was the second most important thing in her life.Her two sons being the first.

I like this version than the other one you have where she sang the same song for a benefit. Was this song lipsyched for this occasion?
I can't get enough of this song although I don't know what the lyrics are (if you can post the lyrics, much better). Thanks for posting.

Below this comment is the text and translation of the version sung here by V. de los Angeles - which is an arrangement by the wonderful Catalunyan composer, Xavier Montsalvatge, who has writtent that the cello solo was inspired by his fellow Catalunyan, the great cellist Pablo (Pau) Casals:

While seeing the great light breaking, On that most joyous night, The little birds, singing, Go to celebrate it With their melodious voices The magpie, mistle thrush and jay Say "Now comes May!" Responds the goldfinch: "Every tree grows green again, Every plant blooms, As if it were the spring."

ike74ph ----No it wasn't lypsynched. A live true performance.
This was played on solo cello at her funeral, as the congregation stood in respect for this wonderful Musical Lady of Spain.

Thanks for the clarification. We have seen many great singers lipsynch when singing in similar occasions for voice quality and audibility. But I like this recording better than the 1994 recording (your post on the fundraising) since her voice was better here.

She is my favorite singer of all. She was a great genius, making it all seem so natural and inevitable, yet other singers betray how much hard work it is to sing like that. Her sensitivity of phrasing, gracefulness of ornament, subtlety of coloration, and tremendous skill is unmatched. I saw her perform twice, thankfully, and met her.

On the three occasion I heard her in recital/concert in Scotland,I didn't have the courage to go backstage.I'm told she was charming and welcoming backstage.
This piece was played on a solo cello at her funeral, as the congregation stood in respect.
A musician to the tips of her toes.

Thanks for posting this. She still had a beautiful sound, even in her 70th year. Beautiful cello work, too. Five stars, of course!
