Mir ist die Ehre widerfahren Presentation of the Rose Damrau

[amonasro100]

Diana Damrau is just the next great Sophie in the line of Erika Köth, Ingeborg Hallstein, Anneliese Rothenberger, Rita Streich and the unbeatable Lucia Popp.

[Leporello18]

Damrau, i love you!!!

[primadivo]

Felicity Lott is one to look up in this piece from Covent Garden i believe ?

[forallyouknow]

DiDonato and Damrau's voices have similar color. I regret though that at 2:36 - 2:57 Damrau had very poor breathing, and pinched high notes. It kind of wrecked the interpretation. And her voice is not at all crystalline... a bit thick and airy--not becoming of a Sophie. Bonney really does own this role.

Still, gotta love her when she goes to her lowest and highest notes.

[gvpmusicarte]

i agree with you in that comment however, have you considered also problems of recording, or perhaps Damrau is too close to the microphone or recording source. Eventhough i understand why do u mean I don´t think it´s thick voice or too much air.

[DoinItClassy]

I really really love Diana but I think she's just a little dark for Sophie, although her piano high notes are gorgeous. I prefere Barbara Bonney and Anne Sophie von Otter doing this duet personally, although this one is quite beautiful too.

[Lilith89ibz]

Well, I guess you haven't heard her singing Lied! Please do, and then, tell us about it :)

[maggeo78]

No I've never heard her before.....

[Lilith89ibz]

I told Joyce once this was magical, and every time I hear it, I can only reassure myself on that! They are Goddesses! :D

[leporello89]

Ya decia yo que tardabas mucho en contestar... XDDDDDDDD

[maggeo78]

Tardo bastante..... E non s'è neppure arrabbiata... Qui sta combinando qualcosa...

[leporello89]

Demasiado tranquila nos contesta, creo q no podemos fiarnos de ella, quien sabe lo que puede hacer....¬¬ LOL

[Lilith89ibz]

Ya te enterarás xD

[maggeo78]

Diana is a Goddess, the other one is just a good soprano....;)

[Lilith89ibz]

AAAAAAAAAAH!!! She's not a soprano! She's a mezzo! I can't believe you said that... LOL And she's my mezzo Goddess, ok? Beware ¬¬ xDDDDDD

[maggeo78]

Well I don't know Joyce di Donato very well, I know she sings with Diana sometimes... So you are Joyce di Donato best fan!!!

[Lilith89ibz]

Oh, my. You mispelled her name... It's DiDonato XDDDD I know I should forgive you, but I'm still thinnking of it.

[leporello89]

Bueno bueno la entendida XD yo tb lo escribo como Di Donato, además se la puede interpretar como una soprano corta ¬¬ ...ciertamente tiene cierto color asopranado (esa palabra no existe no??LOL) xo de todos modos es así (la mejor mezzo es Garanca y en su defecto Kasarova XDDDDDDD)

[Lilith89ibz]

Pues lo escribes mal, niño listo ¬¬ xDDDDD Y precisamente lo que tiene de mezzo es el color, es el registro el que es 'asopranado' xDDD

Pues a mí me gusta más DiDonato, que canta con Diana, no como las otras. Ja! XD

[leporello89]

Uuuuuuuuuuuy, disculpe su eminencia en filologia ¬¬ disculpe que no seamos todos taaaaaaaaaan listos como usted (a partir de ahora ese sera el tratamiento que vas a recibir por mi parte, eminencia LOL) pero a mi me sigue pareciendo una soprano corta (lo cual no quiere decir q no me parezca una de las mejores mezzos) XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

PD; a lo mejor no cantan con ella porque....no, me gusta demasiado Diana como para meterme con ella LOL aun asi sigue gustando más Garanca)

[leporello89]

Por cierto, ahora que me doy cuenta, su Eminencia se equivoca...Garanca si canta con Diana (Ariadne auf Naxos Vienna 2008) asiq... si ya sabia yo que no andaba muy equivocado XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD­DDDDDDDDDDDD

[Lilith89ibz]

Qué flipao eres... xD Aún así, de todas, Joyce es la primera que ha cantado con Diana. Hala xDDDD

[Lilith89ibz]

A las eminencias se las trata de 'vuestra eminencia', no de usted, que encima de flipao no tienes ni idea... jijijiji

[maggeo78]

You are right... She's great! I heard her as Cenerentola with JDF... But Diana is still greater...

[maggeo78]

I watched her site... she calls herself DiDonato... It's very strange, but you were right Lilith.

[Lilith89ibz]

I know I was! xD

[maggeo78]

E' il conputer che non funziona e non prende la maiuscola..... ;)))) DiDonato....

What's the problem, I'm the Diana Damrau biggest fan, not the fan of Joyce Di donato....;

[Lilith89ibz]

Mhm... Beware xDDDD

[maggeo78]

Va be' ho capito, non vorrei ricevere il bacio di Lilith che deve essere ben peggio di quello di Tosca.....

[Lilith89ibz]

xDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[maggeo78]

C'è poco da ridere Lilith..... :(((((

Com'è andato il tuo esame di italiano?

[maggeo78]

I don't think DiDonato is right!!! It's an italian surname and it must be Di Donato or Didonato, but surly not DiDonato

[leporello89]

I agree, and I think you're wrong Lilith (alias chica lista ¬¬) XDDDDDDDDD

[maggeo78]

I don't exactly know what chica lista means... but it'surly perfect for our Lilith!!!!

[Lilith89ibz]

It means 'raggazza astuta', but he's being ironic ¬¬ xDDDDD

[maggeo78]

It's perfect for you.....

[Lilith89ibz]

I don't know how to take that xD

[maggeo78]

as a compliment......

[Lilith89ibz]

Oh, thanks then xD Btw, my Italian exam was horribly difficult... :S

[maggeo78]

Nothing is too difficult for Lilith!!!

[Lilith89ibz]

You'll make me blush... lol

It was the same exam the teacher had used for her students of 3rd year... Nearly all the class wanted to kill her lol

[maggeo78]

So it's a class of genius...... The problem is what will you do during the 3rd year!!!!!!

[primu2002]

Hai ragione. L'unica è andarsene da questa Italia mafiosa...

[maggeo78]

Ma non credo che all'estero stiano poi tanto meglio....

[maggeo78]

Wow..... That's great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe that Lilith has not yet commented this video!!!!!

[leporello89]

Lo acabo de colgar...iba a mandaros a los 2 el enlace pero te has adelantado XDDDDD

[maggeo78]

I'm very fast to find and see Diana's new videos.... Well, as you know I'm her best fan (this is for Lilith)!!!!

Everything all right with derecho?

[leporello89]

XDDDD como te oiga Lilith.... XD Con derecho todo bien, de momento, la verdad es q ha sido mas facil de lo q pensaba, ya os dire cuando salgan las notas

[maggeo78]

No perchè Lilith si dovrebbe arrabbiare? Lei sarà the second best fan....

Credo che tu fossi più bravo di quel che pensavi non che la prova fosse più facile.

Ora sono io che lavoro. Domani devo consegnare un pezzo della tesi di dottorato!

[primu2002]

Ma te stai ancora facendo la tesi di dottorato? eheh In pensione non ci andrai più di questo passo! eheh

Scherzo.

[maggeo78]

Lo so, ma tanto nessuno ci andrà più.... Quindi posso anche prenderla comoda!!! Nel mentre, comunque, ho preso il titolo e faccio l'avvocato, così mi verso i contributi anche alla cassa forense... Chissà che o di qua o di la non arrivi una pensioncina!!! Ma fra molti molti anni...........

[Lilith89ibz]

La la la... I think there's something wrong with your comment because I can't read it... Ahem, ahem... lol

[maggeo78]

Quale commento???? Quello nel quale dico che sono the best Diana's fan????

Mi spiace tu non riesca a leggerlo.... Be' del resto tu sarai la best fan in Spagna (ovviamente dopo Leporello!!!!)

In bocca al lupo per domani........

[Lilith89ibz]

Again, I can't read it. There must be something wrong with your computer LOL

[leporello89]

Bueno, a lo mejor es q ya no distingues las verdades...XDDDDDDDDDD xq a mi m parece que el ordenador de Maggeo funciona perfectamente, lo mismo el problema es del tuyo...LOL

[Lilith89ibz]

Claro, claro, claro...

[leporello89]

Uy uy uy uy q miedo....

[maggeo78]

you are right leporello!!!!!

[maggeo78]

Bravo leporello....
