I flapping of the her jaw maybe is her own technique of producing that kind of sound, its quit difficult to acheive for an ordinary singer or else she will run out of air!
Her coloratura technique seems so unusual, with all that jaw movements! It is so superclear and sounds so fantastic despite the way it looks... Her voice is one of those "instantly recognizable" voices. It would've been even nicer if Virgin classics provided her with a chorus for this aria (or really a scene)
Bel canto is the only way to go!! Thanks for posting this! Freude! So much garbage these days on the internet. Very nice voice, I agree; it has depth. A little too much tremulo, though.

I like the sound BUT that jaw flapping like that is not right.
She is either hold the sound in her jaw or she is not supporting enough.
But good sound

She has to be the queen of Mezzosopranobelcanto and not this crazy Bartoli with her airy sound and only 1-3 cadanzas and no taste for belcanto!
BRAAAAAAVA VIVICA GENAUX!

What is it with coloratura mezzo sopranos and weird gesticulations? I love it.

I agree. It shows that she's really locked in the zone.
