Miss Jones is to be congratulated on a wonderful performance of a difficult aria. Brava.

@Buondelmonte123 , I appreciate your comments. Perhaps it's time for me to dust it off and see what new things I can do with it. Thanks again. Randye

your voice takes me there . . . such a great undertaking . . . when you reach the point you have, you need the challenges to stay alert. Great work!

[vulcanlyre]

@Jimbodiny Wow!! I'm very honored! Glad you enjoyed the performance. I've loved this aria ever since I heard Ms. Price's recording of it.

FLAT

[vulcanlyre]

@bariboy78 Sorry, but I'm going to disagree with you on this one.

[bariboy78]

@vulcanlyre sure, you are welcome to disagree with a critique of your voice. However, that does not change the fact that you are frequently flat on this piece.

[Buondelmonte123]

@vulcanlyre No way is she singing flat.

A beautiful job! The intervals in this aria are very difficult, and Randye does them so well!

She has a very lovely young dramatic soprano voice, and I can't wait to hear more in the future. The older she gets, the bigger the top notes should get as well. Lovely low notes! Brava!!!

Beautiful vocal technic and interpretation... beautif voice... Fame is waiting for you Randye Jones!

Brava!

[Hypermnestre]

I agree, the performance needs an infusion of energy. To be fair to her though, the sound recording doesn't really help. Also she really has an excellent voice, and very right for this aria I would say.

She over all did a nice job. However she's missing the passion and energy. All I see is a sporano singing notes. I don't feel her agony/joy over Anatol returning at all. But she's in the right direction
