The Sorceress - Kiri Te Kanawa

Voilà, probably one of the weirdly campest videos ever made: Kiri Te Kanawa's The Sorceress, (filmed in 1993) with English and Italian subs, so even if you are unfamiliar with opera - you have no excuse!

Tiptoeing the fine line between kitsch and camp, Kiri's The Sorceress has been a long favourite of mine. It's not only a video; it's its own mini-genre. Using the very Baroque tradition of the pasticcio (a patchwork piece to enrich an existing piece or following a known plot), The Sorceress is informed by a time that was celebrating the novelties of MTV video storytelling and was still obsessed with John Malkovich's Liaisons Dangereuses a couple of years prior. It's a throwback to the 90s in so many awesome ways. There are many versions of The Sorceress YouTube; I cleaned up one video a little, made translations and added captions in English and Italian so everyone can understand what Alcina is so upset about.

Kiri Te Kanawa Ensemble: The Academy of Ancient Music Conductor: Christopher Hogwood Choreography: Baroque Opera Atelier Toronto Mise-en-scène: Barbara Willis Sweete Ruggiero: Andrew Kelley Bradamante: Jeanette Zingg Alcina's Servant: Wilbert Hanssen Music by Georg Frideric Händel

I needed a short mental break, so I wasted a day (and a couple of bucks). The original plan was only to add subtitles in English and Italian, but I ended up scrubbing the video a little, upscaling and cleaning it with AI. Don't expect too much; the best version flying around is 444x360 pixels or something (black frame around it included) - VHS, I believe filmed from a screen too.

tl; dr: I did what I could!

You ever listen to a song a million times, and you've always loved it, but you're listening to it yet a-fucking-gain, and just suddenly thought: Wait. This is so gooooood.

Yeah. That just happened. This recording specifically.

Let the music play. Kiri Te Kanawa unites through Māori songs.

Dame Kiri Te Kanawa was born in Gisborne on New Zealand's North Island. She was adopted by Māori parents Thomas and Nell Te Kanawa.

Dame Kiri performed Handel's Let the Bright Seraphim at the wedding of Charles, Prince of Wales, and Lady Diana Spencer in 1981.

Kiri also performed at the opening of the Commonwealth Games in 2006, singing Happy Birthday to Her Majesty the Queen herself.

Maori Songs is a sublime and exciting collection of songs and lullabies from Dame Kiri Te Kanawa's native New Zealand.

Kiri's voice sounds absolutely gorgeous, and the compelling accompaniments only add to the moods established by these native melodies.

Dame Kiri fans, new and old, will no doubt flock to this unique album, as will world music fans. You will be moved by the power of Maori Songs.

Doucement glissons de son flot charmant Suivons le courant fuyant Dans l'onde frémissante D'une main nonchalante Viens, gagnons le bord Où la source dort Et l'oiseau, l'oiseau chante

Welcome to the round up of posts you might have missed this week on Smorgasbord. I hope you are well and have had a good week. We have been catching up on the dry month of September and first two week’s of October with inches of rain and high winds. I have a feeling Halloween will be a bit of a washout and not much fun ‘trick or treating’. To be honest we don’t get much out where we are as it is…

On Thursday 22nd September, I was back on air with Sile Martin on Radio Offbeat, on Manchester's ALLFM, where I spoke about the work of the AMAR Foundation's Yazidi choir.

"We may face high mountains, must cross rough seas. We must take our place in history and live with dignity." These lyrics from the World in Union also illustrate how music can bring people together and be a force for change.
