  • Anna Netrebko es un verdadero placer verte y sobre todo escuchar tu hermosa voz. Te deseo un feliz año 2012 y que los Reyes Magos de Oriente sean generosos contigo en salud y felicidad durante muchos, muchos años.

  • Phenomenal! Thank you for sharing!

  • her overall sound and techinque is just amazing!

  • the intensity, you can feel it.nice.

  • Netrebko is far more than simply fodder for tabloids or just another pretty face. She's so talented.

  • For an aria like this, I COMMEND Ms. Netrebko for taking risk after risk and letting herself go to the edge. This performance is thrilling. Was it technically perfect? No, it wasn't. However any imperfections are entirely forgiven from where I'm sitting because of her commitment to the character and the aria. Brava, Netrebko. May young singers learn from your example of truly letting go in a performance and not "sweating the small stuff."

  • Maria Callas is master but Anna Netrebko is just as great. Too bad not everyone wants to recognize it.

  • She has a great talent. 

  • Words cannot say what an incredible performance this is! This is truly a remarkable video! I'm still in total awe of this classic performance!

  • I get so fed up with all this "her diction is poor" "Her voice does not suit this part" so what? What should she do? just stick to the stuff thats safe? She would have a pretty short career with a boring repertoire if that was the case. Surely she should keep pushing and keep trying to get better and broaden her range. She has a great voice and great presence, those are gifts and cannot be taught. If she has faults those are technicalities that can be worked on. She's wonderful to listen to.

  • B-R-A-V-A... Moser!

  • BRAVA!I love her!She is great and very energetic woman! I would like to ask if someone could send me the scores for this recitativo and aria,thank you!

  • Yeah, no. I mean, I don't have anything against Anna, she's very pretty and charming, and she's really trying to sell the part...but no. Her voice was not meant for the agility of Mozart's work. Not to mention, the the staccati (which happen to be my favorite part) are all wrong. And by goodness, her diction really suffers in this aria.

    And yet, a brave try.

  • Many nuances, Great Stage Presence, Great voice, very good!

    Look at this Brazilian singer, Angela Laborda, singing D'Oreste D'ajace

    It has technical errors and diction, but the voice is very beautiful. Check:

  • Go buy yourselves a pair of ears and then listen to Alexandrina Pedatchanska instead.

  • @mllearene Да слушаем мы, слушаем, и Пендатчанску, и Сазерленд, и Беренс, и Груберову, но всё равно возвращаемся сюда. Взгляните на счётчик... И с каких пор Пендатчанска нуждается в рекламе?

  • Анна прекрасная драматическая актриса.. Так и должно быть. Ведь когда-то великая Каласс сказала про себя---Я не певица которая играет. Я Актриса которая поет!.

  • spacibaa anna. .

  • Maravillosa.....lo mas cercano a la perfección.

  • Great performance! As usual, Netrebko puts her everything into her singing - one of the most honest singers one will ever encounter.

  • *****.

  • Beautiful voice.

    Beautiful face.

    And yet... this...terrifies me...

  • She has beauty but there are a lot of beautiful women but she has intelligence and charm with the beauty.

  • Здорово! Потроши буржуев, казачка!

  • She´s the best right now , and add to this how beautiful she is. Damn. Her voice is really strong.

    Incredible.

  • Does she know how beautiful she is?

  • She has one of the most beautiful faces I've laid eyes on.

  • Her face is amazingly beautiful.

  • One of those times when you know you've witnessed something very special.

  • The GREATEST God creation ever!!

  • Netrebko is a good singer, however she's overrated for her fame.

  • It's like listening in slow motion! The tempo is so slow so that Netrebko can try to barely sing it! This is terrible! Disgusting! Mozart would kill her if he could come back from the dead!

  • Splendid!

  • terrible!

  • @NEBESHIKU Cretin of you tube!

  • I really think that Lori Lewis from Aesma Daeva would have done a hell of a better job with doing this song. Too bad she just does the symphonic metal version, which is good too.

  • Анна настоящая дива, царица. Именно такая страстная, жертвенная царственность, без холодности и надменности, как например у Вишневской, восхищает меня. Это чудо, как может блистать русская баба! А Моцарт садист известный - ария на пределе человеческих возможностей.

  • milewskiigor: Pendatchanska's voice is like a knife against glass because she uses mouth/tongue vibrato to produce some notes missing in her throat. Many divas do this, esp. in near 3 octave roles: Caballe in Norma, Sutherland in Bolena, Pendatchanska in Devereux... Netrebko does not use these tricks and sings Electra with her chest and body, her voice has beauty and ample power, but phrasing is more difficuilt in this case. She can sing with more agile technique too (i capuleti... for example)

  • soll deutsch lernen die Blade!

  • Deutschkurs für die Blade!!!

  • You make very good points. I was actually speaking, though of farther down the line. I will freely admit to being wrong about her, however, and, as a big fan, be glad about her vocal health,

  • It seems that too many singers want to do roles and arias that are too heavy for them, and they pay for it in a few years. Look what happened to Aprile Millo and Renata Scotto...

  • @bridrice Interesting comment given that this was uploaded in 2006. Do you think that Anna is paying for it now? She was not at her best in the Lucia last year but it was 4 months after she had had a baby & it was also hard to look good next to Marius & Piotr who were spectacular on that particular day (the MET HD Simulcast). She was, in my opinion, very good in Don Pasquale. I happen to like the 'darkness" in Anna's voice & I think she does this aria justice.

  • This is like she's meant to sing from God. This is a beautiful clip for opera lovers.

  • she is a BOOMMBBBB!!!!!

  • @BenjaminFonseca esta cantando en italiano! XD

  • @Maggielicious21 ah claro! despues pense eso XD o que hacias referencia a su italiano jaja XD

  • Sond quality of this clip is very low even for youtube, it was not necessary to place it. Untalented singers, worthless musicians and other Netrebkohaters have received an occasion to attacks. I have this Mozart Gala on DVD, Netrebko appeared the last and did a great job considering she's a lyric soprano.

  • @gman20101 true,so true..

  • May I ask how the very last orgasmic face she pulls actually relate to Elettra's rage? I think many of her interpretations are full of such catchy tricks.

  • @Donizettimaniac most people have no idea what are they listen to...so if she does this sex faces people are entertainted.

  • Anna Netrebko has a very special voice.

    She is not a lirico leggiero coloratura soprano, nor a spinto soprano. The voice is very even, but not overtly dramatic: there is considerable limitations in the dramatic expression, some thing she makes up for by 'acting' in a very kinetic manner. If you don't LOOK but just listen, there is in fact not much 'drama' in her singing.

    I think she should be a lieder singer in terms of vocal capacity, despite the huge volume.

  • @Cissy97 she does not have the voice or temperament or musicality or artistry for singing lieder.

  • @Lweoira

    Reading your comment I guess not only that you don't know at all the score of Mozart Idomeneo, its cultural background, the work if its contemporaries in literature, painting and theater, but that even if you could read the score (a thing that I strongly doubt), you don't have the intellectual tools neither to analyze it nor to draw the minimum conclusion from your analysis. I always distrust amateurish people that pretend to have an opinion on the basis of You Tube and recordings.

  • @vocalissimo1

    5:42 the high staccati ARE NOT sung if they are manic laughter. These high staccati ARE a "finirà" transformed in manic, insane, terrifying laughter and Anna gives us the greatest performance we can dream of one of the first Expressionist arias ever conceived. We've to wait Schoenberg's "Pierrot Lunaire", to have a panic energy equivalent to Mozart's "Black compositions" . Did you ever see Goya's "Black paintings"(Mozart contemporary)? Acquire an education, then talk.

  • Comment removed

  • well too bad guys because she did sing it, to adoring crowds.... shes made it soo far give her a little freaking credit... do i see you out on that stage blowing it up? no. so shut up

  • This performance of this aria is like one of those energy drinks: many people can't stand the stuff but I just LOVE it and can't get enough of it!!

  • Belissima

  • Netrebko is a fine singer, but there are some odd moments in this interpretation. The high staccati at 5.42 and 5.49 are sung as if the text is "ha, ha, ha, ha" which suggests manic laughter. The sound is infact the end of the word "finira" and the phrase should be sung as precise coloratura, hence Mozart's staccati markings above the notes in question. I really think Netrebko has little idea of Mozartian line in general on the basis of this performance.

  • D'Oreste, d'Ajace

    Ho in seno i tormenti

    D'Aletto la face

    Già morte mi dà

    Squarciatemi il core

    Ceraste, serpenti

    O un ferro il dolore

    in me finirà

  • @LEOPARDTWO Тhank you for the text!

  • Brava!

  • @Lweoira Grazie per aver chiarito che qui non si tratta diessere bella o brava... ma fuori ruolo. E' una discreta professionista, ma non dovrebbe avvicinarsi a queste prove con il suo bagaglio tecnico, é perfino sfocata...

  • @Lweoira Netrebko sings this area better then any other performer I was able to find.

  • @Lweoira I've tried to listen to Pendatchanska, but it is like a knife against  glass.

  • @Lweoira She sounds so much more beautiful than many other of the "great" singers :/

  • @MusicVocalism I do not think so, well, it is a matter of taste, for you she might be good but for me she is one of the worst Elettras. I do not think that there is a point to discuss this, and it seems to me that I am not the only one thinking like this! :)

  • @milewskiigor I'd rather hear Anna Russell sing this than Anna Netboko

  • @baritonebynight What a pity! :)

  • @Lweoira I have a better quality copy of this record in my blog milewski-igor.livejournal

  • @milewskiigor You must be really loving her, well the better quality only solves her unclear vocals, now I understand it is about the video, but my idea has not changed about her musical approach on the role (arie) of Elettra and I still find her voice unappropriate for the role. The names I wrote above are still superior than Mrs. Netrebko, and I forgot I have to add that, Mrs. Sutherland is a fantastic Elettra tough event though she sang the role close to the en d of her career.

  • muy bakano el video .... esta obras es una de mis favoritas

  • dans le match Netrebko VS Pendatchanska, c'est kiff-kiff bourricot. Superbe dans les deux cas

  • Netrebko is at the same time at both of the extremes - lovely timbre and wide range, but her agility is not enough for dramatic/ coloratura roles - they`re just not for her. Although her staccatto at 5:49 is wonderful, the ornamentation from 5:37 to the mentioned detail she totally destroyed the word 'coloratura' to me. Sounds as smooth as butter, I would like to 'feel' every note on its own. Seriously, listen to Pendatchanska`s rendition and you`ll get what I mean. She has fire.

  • #. That's all I have to say.

  • Her usual lack of breath does not seem to get in the way here, and she provides unusually good support, espcially in the end. Too bad the beginning is riddled with her usual orgasmic gesticulations... and the vapid yet vulgar interpretation aside, taking into account what kind of thing she is, I think this is great.

  • This is perfection, a beautiful illuminating voice!

  • She has an amazing voice. If only I could sing like her.

  • Of all the versions on youtube, non have such exquisite control and power combined!

  • @buttercup180 Have you seen Alexandrina Pendatchanska? She IS Elettra!

    Anna Netrebko is a pretty , lucky and hard-working woman :-)

  • @verdinfishy  Definitely! Pendatchanska IS Elettra :)

  • @ifbgb I've seen Pendatchanska and i'm totally with you on this :D. . . .

  • @Maggielicious21 love this aria!!!

  • Já começa quebrabdo tudo...

  • Netrebko's Elettra is rather good; It's not amazingly great but it'svery good. I think she lacks the tessitura and the dramatic power especially in the higher registers; this really a role suited to a dramatic soprano but too many lyric sopranos take up this role. She does sing it superbly though, and she's at the level of sopranos who really can sing the heck out of it like Edda Moser, Carol Vaness and Hildegard Behrens. She does also get into character as well. Brava Netrebko

  • hm. sure she tries to express the emotional state of elettra in this aria, and certainly her singing is up to high professional standards. plus: the aria is a killer. it just makes me a little sad to hear a once beautifully clean and well-produced voice now opened so violently, often wobbly and not in tune. all the repeated gs and a flats are taken from below, and reach the right pitch only at the very end of the note. not bad, of course. but not nearly as good as she was.

  • the best "D'Oreste, d'Ajace" I've ever heard, magnificent, it's maybe the 20th time I watch it and it is more and more fantastic for me. Grande Anna!!!!!!!

  • I just miss this type of talent. It's sad to see talent like this lost now days... Not saying there are no talented people out there but the world just doesn't care to see them now days.

  • Brava ! she is just ..BRAVA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Was macht sie denn da?! Sie zerstört sich die gesamte Lyrik in ihrer Stimme...sie ist kein dramatischer Sopran!!

  • one of her best, maybe the best. she is great. I love her. and 'hatenetrebko' is probably jealous.

  • @madziua90 i have to agree. possibly this is the best thing i´ve ever heard of her... at least live, i´ve always said that she has such an amazin voice for mozart and puccini. it´s a shame that she prefers to do all that bel canto that does not suit her voice

  • shes.fantastic

  • Hi folks, I'm still around!!! There is good news! I send every bad comment at management of Anna Netrebko since 4 weeks. The lawyers from Anna bring in an action against HAMMER/HATENETTEBKO and all the faked IDs. Let him write against Anna and her son Tiago! :-)) It will come expensive and the damages action too. Please send copies from bad comments at the management from Anna Netrebko. The contact is: worldwideweb-annanetrebko-com-­contact

  • @XxsekvxX I AM EDUCATING PEOPLE LIKE YOU, NETREBKO IS AWFUL CONTROVERSIAL POP-ERA PERFORMER WHO HAS BROUGHT OPERA INTO SHAME. I HAVE SEEN OPERA'S THE WORLD OVER, NO WONDER OPERA HOUSES ARE STRUGGLING IF THIS IS THE MODERN TALENT. I DESPAIR.

    THE GREATS ARE SPINNING IN THEIR GRAVES!!!

  • @HateNetrebko don't try to fool us, if you really where a SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS LADY you wouldn't be here . . . . dork ¬¬

  • @Maggielicious21 Yes, you are right this lady only knows well how to spin in a grave! It' more easy to be irresponsible not giving any reasonable operatic argument.

  • @HateNetrebko Dear Hatenetrebko,: Thou often visits the graves, your always going to cemeteries? You like being with the dead? By chance, dear, You work in a shop selling coffins and funeral? Dear, How  you know that the dead spinning in their graves? Dear, one last question You practice witchcraft in your house?

  • @XxsekvxX I GOT IMPRESSION YOU DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT OPERA IF YOU LIKE NETREBKO, MAY I SUGGEST YOU LISTEN TO GREATS LIKE SUTHERLAND, VICTORIA DE LOS ANGELES, MARIA CALLAS.

  • @HateNetrebko WOW.... Great to suggest singers who are dead or close to it! Listening to the same recorded performances by the greats over and over forever is fine I suppose... Are there ANY opera singers currently performing who meet your oh-so-high expectations? Please, enlighten us all.

  • Comment removed

  • @JordanNola I HATE THIS SO CALLED SOPRANO NETREBKO. SHE IS LIKE A CAT WITH KNITTING NEEDLE IS HER BACKSIDE.

  • @HateNetrebko: Whoever you are, you really need to relax.

  • @ideasetras

    Ciao ER PIOTTA! non pensavo che i coattoni come te potessero anche scrivere commenti su arte e musica...beh dai, è già un progresso...quindi farò finta di non aver letto la massa di stronzate che hai sparato. Il fatto che tu sappia parlare è già tanto! ;-)

  • Ma cos'è quelle sparate d'accenti che ce mette ?

    Co quella bocca che se apre a mo de sceneggiata napoletana che me pare che ce vuole fare crede che ce crede.

    Canta bene ma nulla piuù

  • this recording remains one of my most favourite energy boosters ever...

  • I tried to sing this in the bath the other day.

    My Mrs was fuming and gave me a right bollockin!

  • I never really liked her, but this is amazing.

  • In a class of her own.

  • I like the quality and beauty of her performance.

  • This gave me chills in the beginning. I love it!

  • Her acting is so amazing. She sings this role to perfection and it made me burst into tears!

  • Woah so intense! The music hypnotized me for a while.

  • Ahhh! so beautiful!

  • Hermosa interpretación!!!

  • Simply stunning!

  • I love Netrebko here, the singing part is so astonishing.

  • The kind of singing one reads about in the books. I really like the singing.

  • The sheer power of her voice astounds me.

  • She goes by her feelings. That's singing!

  • everybody sing with micorofone nowadays

  • That's the invention. We have to keep up with the time.

  • the time? what time is it exactly? the theaters are the same as before, same size, maybe the voices are not

  • She can project well on the opera house without the mic.

  • Remarkable!

  • She's the best soprano!

  • the mic because it's not performed in an opera house.

  • It is a recording microphone. That is why you can hear it here, no microphone, no recording.

    An amplification microphone is different.

  • oh ok. it could be. why do you know so much about this performance?

  • First some basics.

    Pop or Popera singers use amplification.

    The microphone feeds their voice into an amplifier. Then it goes to big speakers around the building.

    You normally see a feedback speaker directly at the foot of the performers.

    .

    Watch "Bocelli with Netrebko Classical Brits 2008"

    Real sound, at 2.55 she takes his hand. You can't ( ok you can) hear him, even screaming into mike. She breaks him in two. Sheer power.
