Verdi - Requiem - Violeta Urmana - Libera me Part II

[MorbidBliss22]

Damn, the conductor has so much energy!

[gpeddino]

The soprano`s final "libera me domine de morte aeterna in die illa tremenda" gave me goosebumps all over.

[Juliaflo]

@gpeddino This is the voice for the Verdi Requiem, certainly not mine (except in the chorus).

[retacarful]

La vi por primera vez con Abbado en la 9ª sinfonía de Beethoven, me gustó mucho. En este Requiem es aun mejor

[chatbud]

I prefer Urmana more when she was a mezzo. Her top notes here sound constricted and shrill. Is her voice still in good condition?

[goldenthroat86]

@chatbud You mean like the climactic high C that was so

"constricted" that it rose over and dominated a huge chorus and orchestra?

[Baritanist]

@goldenthroat86 She is totally constricted and using a microphone that's why you can hear her so well.

[goldenthroat86]

@Baritanist The mic is for recording, not amplification. Classical singers don't use mics unless they're singing outdoors, or in a HUGE auditorium. And by the way, your channel is hilarious! I'm assuming your channel is a joke. That's some deliciously bad singing!

[Baritanist]

@goldenthroat86 Yes and what you are hearing here IS the recording. You cannot judge her voice by that. And they are using mics all over the world, in most opera houses, including the Met and La Scala. Wake up.

[goldenthroat86]

@Baritanist No, they don't use mics. I've been singing opera professionally for 24 years; I've never worn a body mic or known any singer that did. There are many wonderful singers that the Met doesn't hire because their voices aren't big enough to carry in the house. Please site your sources that that prove that the Met and La Scala use mics.

[Baritanist]

@goldenthroat86 Yes, they do use mics. And anyone can say they are professionals - it does not give you any authority unless you provide me with some proof. I have witnessed amplification. One and the same singer: first night literally without any volume, next night, he drowned the ensemble. The guy is very famous. Check out the mic-scandal from the Teatro Real, Madrid (Andrea Chenier) if you do not believe me.

And the voice cuts like a silver sword through the orchestra and chorus. Great,great,great. Rare voice typ...most sopranos who sing this requieum today are not brave enough for the whole thing...she is and she shows it in a very powerful and emotional way:) THank you for sharing this remarkable musical moment. And of course weak and stupid audience!
