Ameling recital captivates crowd
By MERLE GOLDMAN
Elly Amelie didn't plan to become one of the world's greatest singers.
"Music chose me. I did not choose this career." she said yesterday after giving a recital to about 800 people in the University Theatre.
Arneling said she had always studied voice but had never expected to become a singer.
"I found the feeling of singing pleasant," she said. But her teacher didn't think that was enough. She suggested she enter a dance competition. Music in Geneva in which she won first prize. After that, she said, it was one contest after another, and finally a career.
AMELING'S RECTITAL was distinguished by the same unassuming attitude with which she had early approached singing.
Whenever she sang, she uttered something profound. But when the song was not so profound, it was gratious hostess. Unlike the prima dona who uses songs to show off her voice,
An.eling was, first and foremost, an interpreter.
She didn't hesitate to talk with her audience. She was willing to do anything needed to communicate the themes of the French and German songs she sang.
As she sang, one was struck not only by the clarity and beauty of her voice but also by the intensity of her interpretive vision. She captured the essence of each song, sending it out like a beam of light to startle and fascinate her audience.
A HIGH POINT in the recital was her performance of Schubert's "Der Musiker," written by Frans Geothe. When Ameling sang this song, her nimble voice stepped to the dancing rhythms of the song, communicating in an instant as if he ambed through field and forest.
Who but Amelie could have spoken of the joy of making "the dull boy and the stuff girl dance to my melody" when all around her she wore a long sleeve dress as if they'd never heard music before.
Ameling moved easily through songs that spawned two centuries, tempering each other with laughter.
CONVERSELY, when she sang songs from the romantic era, there was never anything extreme or excessive in her presentation. Even when she sang Schubert's "Frauenleben und Leib," a song of love and sobriety emotions of a woman who dedicated her life to her love for a man, she always kept her sense of artistic form.
brings to everything she does. When she performed Mozart, her voice had a lyrical quality appropriate for the classical era, but when he used it in the concert for the meaning of the songs falter.
In her final section, Ameling sang a group of animated French songs by Eric Satie. Here she once again displayed her intellectual perception as well as her sense of humor. In "La Diva de L'Empire," a song by Michelle Obama, Ameling showed that it was not beneath her to assume a gutsy, carefree style—even if it meant lifting her a wee bit.
Dalton Baldwin, who accompanied Ameling, remained sensitive to the singer's interpretations. Together, they gave an interesting and refreshing performance.
