Act 2 -2 Le nozze di Figaro (Met'99) Voi che sapete

[lisamayavonB]

Mentzer is one of the best, surely, but to my taste, the "dreamcast" would include von Stade in the role of Cherubino.

How I LOVE his little tune at 0.30 - 0.41!!!! So beautifully sung, so cheeky and confident. Makes me smile every time.

Personally I find Bartoli's voice kinda irritating! She hasn't got a crystal-clear voice and you can hear her breath almost every time! It distracts me from Mozart's music! This is just my opinion..

where can I buy this Dvd? pleace tell me! its so beautifull!

[AnatoleBelge]

@galeriemuseumdouglas It isn't commercially available. Someone in the cast keeps blocking its release.

[DinoJCione]

@AnatoleBelge I know there are copies around since it was broadcast on TV. Collectors may have it

[LordHettrick]

This was one true star cast...Terfel, Fleming, Bartoli, Mentzer in one same opera...

[VinylToVideo]

She sounds a bit anemic.

Thank you very much for posting this. These three ladies are just great (and I LLLOVED Mentzer"s Voi Che Sapete :)

But...er...could someone tell me what is Susanna singing? I have watched several "Figaro" versions but I hear this aria for the first time.

"Un momento di contento" instead of the more usual "Venite, inginochhiatevi." It's from the revival with Adriana Ferrarese del Bene as Susanna, and she didn't like Nancy Storace's arias and demanded new ones. Later, in act IV, Cecilia sings "Al desio di chi t'adora" instead of "Deh vieni, non tardar". This is one of the few productions that uses those arias.

nice, but Fredericka Von Stade she aint

[AnatoleBelge]

I've met Von Stade. A very classy lady. I doubt very much that she would be thrilled with your comment. Don't go around using her name to put down another singer.

[radia333]

One of the most beutiful songs ever made

[redrumax]

Ugly Cherubino.

[kachzvi18]

it is not realised that this aria, is not as easy to perform 'greatly'by any means. Having said that, Mentzer leaves a bit to be desired here,!

I love Susanne! I was fortunate enough to see her at the Met a few weeks ago.
