Cristina Deutekom - 1981 - Lucia di Lammermoor - Ardon gl'icensi - Spargi d'amaro pianto

[kastrafior]

W O W !!!! Cristina Deutekom atteint ici des sommets inexplorés. Son interprétation colossale, phénoménale et pourtant si légère, si naturelle et douce nous plonge dans d'abyssaux questionnements: ne serait-elle finalement qu'une extraterrestre? Descendue sur terre pour nous faire apercevoir un petit bout d'éternité ? Et si oui : pourquoi ????

many singers are so terribly centered on sound. That is not music! Christina uses whatever she has and lies her best to make the most incredible music. It's not the sound, but what you do with it. Especially Callas has understood that.

Easy singing is much more important, because then you can lay much more meaning in every other aspect of music.

[UturnatA2]

@UturnatA2 I forgot to say. Christina is incredible! 

[senmoet]

Wat een mooie stem. Een niveau wat anderen bijvoorbeeld Netrebko nooit zullen kunnen benaderen. Ook Calles was goed maar niet zo goed als Deutekom. Het spelen met haar stem en de trillingen daarin zijn meer dan grandioos en een lust voor mijn oren. Wordt wakker bel canto fans, Dit is het beste wat tot op heben ten gehore is gebracht!

[robertdonkers]

@senmoet No need to compare her favourably to Callas, even mentioning that she was better than Callas. Deutekom hersefl would not agree. They were both fantastic and both brought so much excitement to the world of opera.

[johnlcharles]

Interesting sound but, I feel, not a real understanding of bel canto, especially from the orchestra in the final cavatina - ponderoso!! However, a better sound than her 1970 St Sebastian and even the 1970 Amsterdam. But the glottal-stopping in the later runs really are awful - OK perhaps for Mozart. I'm afraid I'm a sucker for Sutherland.

che bella voce

[goldenthroat86]

Gagatura!

[manticoreseriex10]

Those thrills!!

[robertdonkers]

Cristina is definately a force to be reckon with. Fortunately at the world stage she well recognised singing leading roles with all the top singers including Franco Corelli, Richard Tucker, Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo, José Carreras, Alfredo Kraus, Carlo Bergonzi, Bruno Pedrevi, and Nicolai Gedda. She was a very exiting singer, ok, the coloratura is not to everyones liking but ..........................

[jradetzky]

J'arrivais pas à écrire sur Youtube. Maintenant que je peux, je voudrais te dire à quel point j'ai été ému. Merci beaucoup infiniment pour tous ces vidéos que j'ai tant adorées. Je vous envoie toutes mes forces joyeuses et calmes.

[MrLupo23]

Questo ba-ba-ba-ba-bu-bu-bu-bu-bu mi U-bu-bu-RTA!

[tneprescintr]

Lessons learnt:

- Some kick ass legato as done in 'É strano', to shut a lot people up;

- She's known now to me as ''the only one other than callas capable of producing a perfect diminuendo on a high Eb'.

Thank you very much for the video.

[Wotan123456789]

@tneprescintr There are many good sopranos who are able to diminuendi on a high E flat (Gruberova and Sumi Jo did it on a High E), but I haven't heard dramatic sopranos other than Callas and Deutekom doing it.

[tneprescintr]

@Wotan123456789 I think that, deep down, that's what I meant... =P

@ErnstLoosli

ich gebe dir absolut recht, bis auf diana damrau

aber das flötenduett kann, glaube ich, selbst die damrau nicht so perfekt

[wanchaan]

@jocmuc1 robot de la perfection

[edgarbiervliet]

Just love this recording. More than any other of her live Lucias (those other have mostly poor sound quality) this one shows her incredible talent in this role. Such a pity she did not record it in studio completely. The Lucia duet she recorded with Jan Derksen just makes ju feel what greatness could have come out of a Lucia studio recording with Deutekom. She was faaaaaantastic in this role. And her Eb are not to be believed. Not only full of texture and colour, but the ease.

[Randidan]

@edgarbiervliet Those incredible, stunning, easy high notes were the particular joy of hearing her! They shimmered, they came out so easily and they sounded as if she could easily go even higher. absolutely electrifying, especially in the theatre!! When and where this recording? Is it available on cd??

[edgarbiervliet]

@Randidan Yes it is on cd. I have the cd. I's a double cd that came out in honour of her career. The cd is in some moving boxes so I can't look up the exact title...but it's the last Deutekom cd to come on the market. It has some really great, great stuff on that cd.

[deutekomefran]

Merci beaucoup. Je n'avais pas cette version et j'ai adoré. C'est un vrai trésor. Waw!!!! Magnifique!!!!
