Teresa BERGANZA sings "Sta nell´Ircana..." from Alcina

[klorynda82]

She looks like the Maid of Orleans ;-)

Merci Berganza!

[tetrazzini]

Une leçon de technique (les piqués...la vache c est pas des sons de poulet engorgés) et de musique ! J'adore sa petite choré avant la reprise de la partie A, elle est trop mignonne ! Brava la Berganza

[leprincebeaumont]

Che lezione di tecnica, gusto e stile. Non come certe barocchiste odierne, che cantano a velocità supersoniche fintamente espressive, con voci stimbrate, tirate e una coloratura o spoggiata o aspirata o pasticciatissima! La Berganza è e rimane il Ruggero di riferimento. Grandissima!

[Straricc]

@leprincebeaumont sn d'accordissimo! finalmente qlcn che sembra pesnarla come bisognerebbe pensarla c'è!

[zsuzsa669]

I like it more sung by Alice Coote she puts a lot more emotion in it and shes voice is a little lower too..but don't understand me wrong i like this one as well it's perfectly sung....(ps excuse me for my english i may have grammar mistakes it's not my maternal language)

[zsuzsa669]

its almost like a little robot singing..because everything is so clear so precise that it kinda lost it's message..i know it has to be sung just like it is written down ,i sing too and i know.. but if you don't personalize it a little bit would it matter if a human or robot would sing it.

[LaBartoli]

I just LOVE her and her interpretation!!

It's just looks so easy and natural for her!

[gtenore88]

l'unica e inimitabile Teresa Berganza! grazie delle tue lezioni e della tua voce GRANDISSIMA!

[leoperarm]

[rayangreene]

[males64]

[56cham]

[axel40vi]

BRAVISSIMA, buona pronuncia e melodia chiara.TEMPO OTTIMO

[rlee1976]

This is coloratura singing for you! It doesn't need to be super-fast...just impressive and musical and NOT aspirated!

[leprincebeaumont]

I totally agree!

[tonnelet75]

MERCI BERGANZAAAAAAA :)

[tonnelet75]

quand je pense que mon Maitre à Chanter a vu ça!!!!!!

vocalement et scéniquement splendide, et beaucoup plus crédible que beaucoup de contre ténors....quelle mâle et fière assurance..rien ne bouge, pas de gesticulations , le regard volontaire...subliiiiiiiiiiiim­e!!!merci youtube :)

[ligiamonteiro0]

Love the variations!

[vitellia]

If only she's still singing and pumping out Handel operas with William Christie or Alan Curtis.... Ah, the possibilities! It's a shame she never sang Ariodante. (Or did she?)

[sefo68]

davvero impressionante! grande!

[Dogaradodia]

Precious video! Love you, senora!

[mariasarda]

Très belle interprétation, sans l'égo surabondant des chanteurs habituels. La vérité de l'œuvre est ici nue et sans fard. Propre, vrai, métrique, presque géo-métrique !! Après, on pourra lui préférer des voix plus amples, mais, c'est aussi une sacrée performance que de rendre l'œuvre sans la réécrire vocalement !

[tetrazzini]

@mariasarda Je suis tellement d'accord avec vous, quel art élégant, sans fard ni "trucs" techniques. Un modèle de tenue et de style, comme toujours avec Berganza

[nicksum29]

Yummy ornamentation.

[hngltn]

It is awesome to realize that despite the dominance of the Opera Romantica, singers like Berganza blazed the road for baroque bel canto. Excellent live performance and ornamentation in the da capo aria.

[armycasa]

WONDERFUL ARIA! Bravo Handel brava Teresa

[willym]

I can't believe this - I saw this production back in 1978 - it was one of those incredible nights at the opera - Christianna Eda Pierre, Valerie Masterson, my darling Teresa. I am simply overwhelemed that it is on video.

[leonachsiun]

wonderful,like you and support you forever,berganza.

[Orbazzano]

Bravissima!

[felin180]
