@ApostolMilenkov Thanks for your personal message. The spelling error has been corrected as requested. I am sorry that this gave you cause for concern and thank you for pointing it out. All the best for 2012.

Yes I think Kresteva doing the mezzo for this duet is not a good choice...but just the same this was divine for me...peace to all Kresteva fans...

A superb duet.

I do agree with those that prefer a more gentle less confrontational? style.

For myself a hopeless Sumi Jo devotee, I feel her duet with the wonderful Ah-Kyung Lee - cannot be bettered, truly they harmonize more sweetly than angels themselves.

[luisalandaeta]

They both are awesome singers, the mezzo is exhuberant and powerful, however, even when that is so, i prefer a more subtle style for this duet...

[chrissoftail]

amazing voices

[ArchiducDeBelgrade]

I dont like this.. mezzo in this aria need to be more subtle more quiet like backup.. Sutherland and Horne for ex.

I love Diana. With her up there with Nadia, you can easily see the difference between someone who likes what they do and someone who really loves it. You can also see what people love most about Diana amplified, her acting ability. Don't get me wrong, Nadia's mezzo is one of the most beautiful in the world, but she lacks passion in her countenance.

like voices from heaven

[Transoxiana94]

A charming performance!! Diana is a nightingale as always and Kresteva has a voice to die for; their voices are lovely complements to each other. Bulgaria seems to give some amazing voices to the opera world. I haven`t heard a dramatic mezzo for a while and Nadia`s wonderful.

[succubusdiva]

They're individually fantastic but their voices didn't really blend well together in most parts of the aria.

[succubusdiva]

@succubusdiva okay, I've been listened to this version for the nth time now and I can say that the parts from 01:06 to 02:40 and from 03:24 to the end were absolutely brilliant. so I wanna retract my previous tatement and say that their voices didn't really blend well together in some parts. :)

[FAFYWARRIOR]

BRAVISSIMOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[yllodnkcor]

fucking wind

[kit11104]

Oh my gosh..This is probably one of the prettiest duets I've ever heard Diana sing!! But..I'm not..Too fond of the mezzo.. .-. I mean, she really really good! However, I honestly think that Diana would have sounded better singing with someone like Cecilia Bartoli, but that's just my opinion.

[liricobarroco]

Diana as great, But Nadia kick ass of all mezzo in this moment! strong voice! beautiful!

[Mycutenames]

@liricobarroco I don't think so. Diana was amazing. They both were great, leave it as simple as that.

[liricobarroco]

@Mycutenames I think Diana as the most wonderful soprano!! I love her, I meant that was one of the best mezzos with this voice so powerful.

[Mycutenames]

@liricobarroco Mmm.... Now I get you. XD Yes, Nadia was astonishing.

[Milylily4Ever]

@liricobarroco she's the best mezzo :) so glad to hear her singing with Diana

[liricobarroco]

wow!! great mezzo!!!

[rrrrrrrrrrrrrrroo]

My god Diana is great. She always impresses. Im yet to hear anything but perfection from her.

[RaWrZzZz]

diana sings this just the way i always wanted it sung.

[chevrox]

what a voluptuous mezzo

[dopepenguin]

Diana is the best... although both of them suck @ the flower duet...

[maggeo78]

only 3 stars... I can not believe it!!!

Diana is great in this duet
