Interview with Angela Gheorghiu (Surprize, surprize)

[JJAIME05]

Sí..el rumano es una lengua romance igual que el español ...pero al oirla hablar ,son poquísimas las palabras que entiendo

[SoLovely31]

Moldovencele mele!! Bravo lor!! O admir ffrte mult pe Anghela Gheorghiu, o artista adevarata, dar o admir si pe Andreea Marin, o femeie superba!!

Imi amintesc de surprize surprize, emisiunea mea preferata pe atunci!! Eram doar o pustoiaca pe atunci :)

[Apolinius82]

Angela Gheorghiu es bellísima y, como buena europea, muy fina, y suele salir muy diferente en diferentes vídeos.

[gabitabancila]

SUPERB MOMENT!

[thorhalland]

A note to those below.

Latin does not come from 'old Greek' or indeed Classical Greek they are linguistic cousins being both Indo-European languages but no closer.Latin is,of course an Italic language from the Romance Group whilst Greek is in a family grouping all of its own and only descended from a common Indo-European ancestor(from which Persian and Armenian also derive.

Romanian is a full romance language and a very close Latin derivative with some slavic vocabulary.

[aliana27ro]

Angela este o voce extraordinara, dar ca persoana.."ah, oh, ah , oh..".. nu imi place de ea, nu a stiut sa ramana simpla...isi merita porecla.. este foarte falsa...

[HealTheWorldRO]

Foarte frumos momentul. :)

[CharlotteinWeimar]

Ro ma neeee an

[CharlotteinWeimar]

You can now see the meeting part of this interview with English subtitles on my channel

[corellithebest]

(comment continued)

Her meeting with Zeani, another Romanian diva I adore, is filled with sincere and spontaneous emotion! Wow! Now that I understand the words, I enjoy it much better!

[corellithebest]

I am so happy because I finally found the translation of this interview on Angela and Roberto's yahoo groups. So I know now what that book Marin gave her is, it's the Bible, and this sacred religious image (probably Romanian Orthodox) is really beautiful. Now I enjoy their conversation much more! Apparently, Angela believes in God, Marin mentioned her her faith in God. And Angela is really modest and nice, the press lied about her so-called 'arrogance'.

[vic0810]

hey! where did you exactly find the translation please?I'm so angry not understand this interview! thanks!

sorry for my poor english! :s

[corellithebest]

I found it on yahoo groups entitled Angela Gheorghiu. A Romanian lady was so kind to post the translation there. But I think you have to register for yahoo groups. Do a search yahoo groups Angela Gheorghiu and then register. There are in fact several groups, one of them is called alagna gheorghiu. I am not sure anymore in which of these yahoo groups it was posted, but the Google search should help you find it. :)

[teomosu]

It probably is me ... but I find Angela Gheorghiu in this movie as very beautiful. She has that pure romanian beauty.

[corellithebest]

She is indeed an extremely beautiful woman! (Well, I am a woman myself, so it is rather objective observation :) )

[loredinusa]

I am amazed to see how many comments on this video! Waw! Multa sanatate!

[gmihut]

Hey, chocolata e buna in orice inprejurare...I wish to have some right now...Its afrodeziac stuff...

[loredinusa]

Si mie imi place ciocolata cu rom! Era atat de buna! Din pacate dupa revolutie, au schimbat nitel reteta!

[corellithebest]

(comment continued)

And, honestly, I really really admire all three: Callas, Zeani and Gheorghiu! They are all superb artists, and the two Romanian divas are Callas' worthy successors. I've read that many refer to Gheorghiu as 'the new Callas'. So it would be illogical if she would dislike Callas.

[Aetion]

Well, she told in an interview that Callas's Tosca sounds ... hysteric(!!!). Poor thing.

[corellithebest]

Well, I certainly don't agree with her there, although I admire Gheorghiu's art very much, and I appreciate her generosity (she adopted Alagna's daughter and her niece after her sister's death) But I also admire Callas (who, as I see, is your co-national), she is LA DIVINA.

[velazquez2009]

what does this bitch thinks? She is miss beauty-kitch in preson and overacts all the time, now saying Callas' Tosca is hysterical? Callas portrayed Tosca's nervousness.

[velazquez2009]

nonsense, she doesn't act that well, Callas was a sining actress and a wonderful musician, Angela has a overdone sense of rhythm, no way she is Callas' heir, take Dessay as one!

[corellithebest]

Could someone who is Romanian here tell me what she said about Maria Callas, I heard she mentioned Callas together with Zeani in some context. I've also heard elsewhere that Angela was not very complimentary about Callas, and it is a bit hard for me to believe, because I found in her Casta diva many similarities in phrasing to Callas. As to other roles Zeani sang too: Violetta, Tosca, I believe it was Zeani who was her direct inspiration. I know Callas and Zeani praised each other's art.

[shhakky]

She said they were rivals.

:-)

[dilitor]

Oi! G'day from Oz! To the Romanians and foreigners have a good one and a short comment: AG may look snobby or tough beach, but that is because firstly she is really REALLY good, she is really REALLY beautifull, and she is comming from a country in wich you have to be really tough to survive; plus, in a world dominated by talentless but envious anglo saxons she had to be the way she is... The real Angela is when she is meeting Zeani, when she is humble, a bit like Julia Roberts in Notting Hill.

[corellithebest]

Excuse me, when did this interview take place? I mean in what year?

[ohallort]

she's so hot.

[Marleneagnes]

She is from Romania.

[maruku86]

Haha, 'mama Virginia'! How cute! :D

[deutschesmaedchen]

vorbind despre falsitate, de ce nu o mentionati si pe cucoana Marin Banica? ;) pe ea nu o intrecea nici Callas daca era in viata.

[montagne51]

cu siguranta modestia si caldura nu este calitatea ei prima... dar talentul este autentic  si de necontestat!!

[remus942000]

tu cine mai esti bai fraiere sa faci remarci de astea comuniste

[remus942000]

ai deschis si tu gura si au iesit numai frustrari, inchide-o repede la loc ca e naspa

[montagne51]

Nici o frustare si nici o remarca comunisya! Nu sint fraier ci o fraiera care a asteptat mai mult de 3 ore in 2007 la Londra cu prieteni francezi pentru a o saluta! Imposibil cea ce nu i ia nimic din talentul ei care este cum am mai spus de necontestat!  In 1997 la Otranto in Italia Pavarotti a fost mai accesibil ca ea ! Pe urma comentariile dvoastra sint inutile si dau dovada de rigiditate chiar daca o idolatrizati!!

[ttigerlook]

E o VIP si nu conteaza prea mult cat o asteapta lumea ...oameni cu vocea ei sau ca cea a lui Pavarotii se nasc o data la 50 de ani poate; atata timp cat nu poti canta ca ea ...gura mica si mai putine plangeri ca se face ''curent''

[basenjidiva]

Gheorghiu idolizes Zeani. To surprise Gheorghiu on the 40th birthday, friends sent air fare to bring Zeani to Roma to surprise Gheorghiu. A most touching reunion of the two divas; both in tears at the meeting. An so the torch was passed from the older Romanian to the younger diva. One need not understand Romanian to feel the warmth of Zeani and the thrill for Gheoghiu at the entrance of Zeani. The two sopranos have forged an enduring bond; Zeani's generosity will not be lost on Gheorghiu! Bravi

[devochkadrug]

Noo!!! She is romanian soprano!!!

[SiEtIn1]

who is greek you crazy person?

[motocica]

you are looking at an interview with angela gheorghiu and you are talking about the origin of romanian language?anyway....i am looking forward in seeing angela in adjud.i have a great respect for her and i am glad that she knows that :X

[Razvanh26]

Yes, it's romanian they are speaking.

[Marleneagnes]

How do you say yes in Romanian? DA , it is like Russian or Serbian.

In Italian and Spanish is SI!

[corellithebest]

I've also noticed they say 'draga' which is a Slavic word that in Croatian (my native language) means 'dear' in the feminine form. So it proves that Romanian has many Slavic features. By the way, I ADORE both Zeani and Gheorghiu! It was so moving to see their meeting! I didn't understand much, but I understood they were complimenting each other!

[ilincaz]

Yes, you are right:'draga' means 'dear' in Romanian also. We have indeed a lot of Slavic words but the words most frequently used in our speaking are of Latin origin. This is why our language is categorized as Latin.

As for the meeting between Angela and Virginia, I was touched too. Virginia is Angela's idol and she was so humble and really touched.

[Marleneagnes]

Romanian was strongly influenced by Slavic (due to migration/assimilation, and feudal/ecclesiastical relations), Greek ,Turkish, and Hungarian, while the other Romance languages adopted words and features of Germanic.

[celibec]

AndradaDaciana, Nu uita ca aceste femei sunt cintarete de opera...adica au ureche muzicala. Ar fi si culmea sa piarda accentul limbii materne. 1-2 zile petrecute printre romani si si-au recapatat accentul.

[svasiles]

Marleneagnes Romanian is truly a latin language but it does not have slavic words there is no slavic aspects in the romanian language, it in fact has more latin words than all other latin based languages, since Romanians are direct decedents of Romans and the Roman empire.

[AndradaDaciana]

Va dati seaman ca Virginia a plecat din Romania de aproape 60 de ani, si cu toate acestea vorbeste limba romana fluent si fara accent!!!

[sdorr]

I wish AG good health.

[ilariattt85]

non si capisce nienteeeeeeeeeee...mettete i sottotitoliiiii

[Marleneagnes]

Great woman!

Romanian is a Latin language but sprinkled with many slavic words.

[svasiles]

Marleneagnes Romanian is truly a latin language but it does not have slavic words there is no slavic aspects in the romanian language, it in fact has more latin words than all other latin based languages, since Romanians are direct decedents of Romans and the Roman empire.

[ilincaz]

This is not true. We have a lot of Slavic words. But the criterion based on which a language is categorized is the number of words used in the current speaking. According to this criterion, we have a Latin language, because most of the words we use most often in our current speaking are of Latin origin.

[tissetatten]

and do you know the origin of Latin? its from old greek, witch is not uesed any more I'm afraid..

[ilincaz]

I have to confess that I do not know the origin of Latin. All I know is that many languages have their origin in the Indo-European language, but I don't know any details about the Latin language. Anyway, thank you very much for this information. I will do some research in this respect...:)

[rafanegrete]

¡Qué simpática!

[xilpix]

Pure questa Marin non è male però.

[ladeliziosa]

Ma per carita! Italiano e piu bello del romeno.. ok, non e importante.. Angela Gheorghiu e una donna molto avvenente..

[ghiote]

misti gagica asta cantareata

[ottokees]

So wonderful !!! muchas gracias!!!, Sergio.

[Fanaticopera]

Angela IS the most beautiful woman on earth and to sing with her heavenly voice defenitly makes her almost angelic. Love all about her!! fanaticopera

[Alinutza78]

suupeerba! pacat ca nu e tradus interviul sa il poate vedea toti! si mai pacat ca e mai cunoscuta dincolo decat la noi!

[mariusov21]

Dragutz !

[gtelloz]

is this romaniian? what r they talking? looks like italian, bu is not...

[tenorismo]

Romanian is a latin based language , And alot of the words sound Italian

[FloriaTosca85]

Doua valori incontestabile ale Romaniei, Virginia Zeani si Angela Gheorghiu. De Andrea Marin se poate face lejer abstractie intr-o astfel de companie.:))))

[arista2000]

Romania stie foarte putine despre Doamna Virginia Zeani, am fost foarte surprinsa( incantata) sa vad acest interviu. Pacat ca Doamana Zeani nu este mai mult mediatizata.

[cactusflower2005]

Angela canta superb, dar e cam ingamfata... si falsa, atat pe scena, cat si in interviul asta. Si, intradevar, "draga" ala suna peiorativ.

"Draga" Angela, incearca sa nu mai fii atat de falsa... si alte romance au fost si sunt dive, dar pot sa fie si modeste

[anais79]

Oh... I do not understand what they are saying, but I was so tuched by the ending! Thank you for sharing!

[Alagnapassion]

De cand este inregistrarea?? Nu-mi place ca spune atat de mult "draga" suna un pic peiorativ asa...Are o voce ciudata...kinda freaks me out. Suna a voce de scorpie :) Noroc ca-i nu-i adevarat. She's one true lady

[roxanaiovanesc]

Un material de super clasa!!! De departe acasta mare doamna reprezinta,la ora actuala,cea mai buna imagine a Romaniei.

Cu deosebita consideratie,Distinsa Doamna!

Va multumim!

[Zandomeni]

Per Alice Bathory00: Signora con quale parla Angela Gheorghiu e la moglie di Stefan Banica Jr. con quale Angela canta un duetto di musica leggera.

[BravaBerganza]

I don´t understand any word, but it´s so charming!! Thank you :) :) :)

[rrreverb]

Brava, Virginia !

Also, I am thoroughly convinced that Angela is the most beautiful thing on the planet.

[OperaBR]

In Gheorghiu & Alagna's Yahoo group you can see an English translation of this. ;-)

That's a great interview! It's so good to see Gheorghiu in a simpler, more intimate way. The press has been cruel towards her, using her to make scandalous headlines and omitting her qualities. All those who know her say she's lovely, funny and very smart! And what a GREAT moment to join Zeani and Gheorghiu together, two great Romanian divas!

[AliceBathory00]

WONDERFUL! I don't understand romanian but I like to see her speaking in her native language, thank you very much!!!

[Wlodekz]

Hello Alice,

I would like to tell You that I admire Angela also. Thanks for Your videos. What country are You from? - Your name sounds like hungarian origin.

Wlodek.

[Serena000]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR POSTING IT! I like it although I don't understand anything, hehehe.

[hanja2etoile]

Wow, thanks so much! That's a great interview!
